Pink + brown in modern foyer: Benjamin Moore 'Bittersweet Chocolate'

Mmm, chocolate. In this New Orleans foyer designed by Ned Marshall, walls are painted Bittersweet Chocolate by Benjamin Moore. Portuguese Victorian sofa covered in Schiaparelli pink linen. "The Portuguese always imitated English furniture, but they did it in such an exuberant way that it's really over-the-top," says Marshall. "Sort of like what the Italians do with French furniture."
