Paul Corrie

Many designers insist on styling their interiors to polished perfection. But Paul Corrie brings his designs to a halt just before that point. His intentionally rough-around-the-edges projects have a worn formality that conveys elegance from a masculine point of view.

Paul neutralizes his interiors with tones of beige, brown, and ivory. And yes, he embraces a variety of finishes. But what sets his aesthetic apart are the pieces he leaves unfinished, providing a special chic patina.

"I'm conservative in style and prefer environments that lend themselves to the neutral and beautiful side," says Paul. "These colors are what I have in my wardrobe, and they are what I want to live with." For more ideas from Paul, visit the designer at paulcorrie.com.
