BOOK FIRST LOOK – DESIGNER KATIE RIDDER’S COLORFUL ROOMS!

October 14, 2011
  • Share
Study with coral sofa with patterned throw, chest converted into a coffee table, dark wood walls, a patterned area rug and a red pendant light

It seems to be interior designer Katie Ridder’s week here on COCOCOZY. I started the week with a Katie Ridder home and now I’m ending the week with images from a new book due out November 1st all about Katie’s work.

After I posted on Monday about an interesting home from Katie’s online portfolio, I got an email about the book.  It is being published by Vendome Press and is called Katie Ridder Rooms written by Heather Smith McIsaac and photographs by Eric Piasecki. I have not received my advance copy yet (it is in the mail according to nice Meghan over at Vendome…wooohooo) but I have been given an exclusive first look at what is inside.

Can I say awesome? Katie is known for using texture, color and non-traditional “curious” combinations to create stunning memorable spaces.  Lot’s of interesting details in a Katie Ridder designed room.

Here’s just a little sneak peek…loads of inspiration….can’t wait to have this for my coffee table!

Bathroom with a white clawfoot tub, wood floor, an a wall of blue floor to ceiling subway tiles, windows with white blinds, and wood stool with green cushion is being used as a towel holde
A traditional clawfoot tub pops against a wall of peacock blue floor to ceiling subway tiles. (above)

Home office with a brown sofa with chartreuse piping, a white desk with a metal rolling chair with a chartreuse seat and back, white walls, chartreuse window trimmings and an orange Moroccan pouf with chartreuse stitching and a Lucite coffee table
Clever use of chartreuse throughout the room including on the sofa piping, the Moroccan pouf stitching and the trim on the windows. (above)

A white kitchen with aqua mosaic tiles from counter to ceiling backsplash, wood floors and stainless appliances

Book cover of Katie Ridder's "ROOMS"

I like these rooms.  My favorite in this batch is the home office with the green trimmed windows!  Do you like any of these rooms?  Which space might work in your home?

Thank you Meghan over at Vendome for giving me a first look at some of the images from the book just for COCOCOZY.  Readers, I have a few more of these rooms that have been shared just with me…and I’ll bring those to you too very soon!

Happy happy Friday!

    I love the tile in the bathroom. It just pops right out and grabs your attention, but because of the windows it’s not too much!

    I love Katie’s work too. Her wallpaper (crabs) at the 2011 Hamptons Designer Showhouse was absolutely charming.
    Lucky you to get a sneak peek and advance copy.
    I hope to get to a book signing!
    Happy weekend.

    Hi Coco,
    Great post as usual, but where are all the ps’s?!?
    I was wondering if I could use the bathroom photo on my bathroom blog? Pretty please. The tiles are very pretty, I also love the green trim of the office windows and the cover is fantastic. Btw, did you get your dress repaired? Ok hope you have a great weekend. Please email me at [email protected] re the photo when you have a chance. Thanks!
    🙂

    I agree with everyone on the bathroom, it looks so fresh and invigorating and would certainly wake me up in the mornings! Thank you for sharing.

    Katie’s rooms are always my favorite to look at because of the way she uses color so effectively. Typically people can’t handle the intensity of her colors and let them take over a room; she treads the line of restraint and vibrancy perfectly

Closer look at the COCOCOZY Design House dining room gallery wall. I framed botanical prints from the late 1800s and images from an old 1940s black and white photography book about Paris to hang on this feature wall. Love the way the afternoon light looks in this room. What would you frame for your floor to ceiling gallery wall? 📷: @melissagaylephoto

Time for bed. This is the master bedroom at the COCOCOZY Design House. Love this room and love the bedding by @PomPomatHome. Am so lucky that Pom Pom’s owner Hilde Leighat is a dear friend. She let me pick the best of the best for ALL of the bedrooms in the house. I love the big chunky dark throw and the eyelet pillowcases and the quilted coverlet. Dream bedding. Click link on profile to see more of this room and to check out the bonus room bedding too. Check out the rest of my IG to see other rooms in the house. Designing this house has been a dream come true! 📷: @reidrolls

COCOCOZY Design House living room is one of my favorite spaces in this project. I love the mix of patterns on a neutral background. I was lucky to partner with @article on some great foundational furniture for the living room and dining room. This mid century modern inspired sofa adds a hint of style while also providing a great backdrop for all of the rest of the accessories. Swipe left to see a close up on the fantastic velvet armchairs too. Click link on profile to check out the rest of my furniture picks from Article! 📷: @reidrolls

More from the COCOCOZY Design House! An upstairs bathroom. Was so excited last week to see this bath featured on House Beautiful’s site. White subway tile contrasted with black slate mosaic tile on the floor. The light fixture was initially specified for the foyer of the home but I liked the way it looked in here. I added some decorative molding around the wall mirror and tah dah...high constrast small bath! Thanks to design house partners @totousa deep soaking tub and plumbing fixtures. @caesarstone counters. @lampslus light fixture. @benjaminmoore white walls. 📷: @reidrolls

Things are bright and cheerful inside the COCOCOZY Design House thanks to all the @benjaminmoore Super White OC-152 painted walls. Here’s a glimpse of the dining room before and after the paint. Oh what a difference some paint makes! Swipe left to see the before. BTW don’t you love the decorative grill on the HVAC return. I had to have this made to make an air/heating exhaust look good! 💃🏾Tap profile link for full break down on my paint colors in the house.

Here is the COCOCOZY Design House kitchen as featured on House Beautiful’s website. To see more of the house check out my IG feed or tap profile link for blog post about the @housebeautiful reveal. Love this view of the kitchen. We built this massive arch between the dining and kitchen where there used to be a tiny door only! The kitchen is super functional and pretty. Did the two toned cabinetry thing and the farmhouse sink from @kohler. So funny 5 of the 9 COCOCOZY Design House partners products happen to be in this small vignette! [email protected] - counters. [email protected] - kitchen sink/faucet. [email protected] - lighting
[email protected] - dishwasher
[email protected] - paint (Silent Night lower cabinets, Super White upper)
Everything including the kitchen sink makes this my dream kitchen!
Happy Saturday! Xo Coco 📷: @reidrolls
