Holly Hollingsworth Phillips



If anyone knows that color can make people happy, it’s Holly Hollingsworth Phillips of The English Room out of Charlotte, North Carolina! And I know she has very happy clients living in this vibrant home, photographed by Dustin Peck for Peachy Magazine…every room is pure joy! Holly transformed the historic 1928 home, giving it a lighter, brighter and younger feel while reusing all of the furnishings from their previous home. I’m drooling over all of the lighting–my favorites being the kitchen lanterns from Urban Electric Co. with a custom “Calypso Blue” interior, the Coleen & Company lantern in the breakfast room and of course my beloved Marjorie Skouras chandelier! You can see lots more photos of the home and read the article (which provides tons of sources!) right over here!

  1. Love all the color and pattern here! It must have took some serious skill to put all of this together and have it look this good!!

  2. This is an amazing home with it's out of the box color scheme of turquoise and orange. If I lived there I would never stop smiling.

  7. Orange and turquoise are me and my husband's two favorite colors, respectively. I've never for a moment thought they could work together this elegantly in one room though! I am loving this home.
