Contrary to her penchant for bold hues and dynamic prints, Gibson’s decorating journey begins with a clean slate of white walls. This approach allows her to assess light dynamics and plan accordingly before infusing the space with her signature flair.
Embracing a bold design ethos, Gibson and her husband embarked on extensive renovations, stripping away dated features and enhancing architectural charm with crown molding and wainscotting.
With the structural foundation laid, Gibson reintroduced color, opting for bright tones to maximize natural light. Rather than meticulously matching hues, she embraces a mix-and-match philosophy, layering accessories atop neutral backgrounds for a dynamic effect.
