Darryl Carter is an Interior Designer who knows how to juxtapose classic furniture with modern details like a professional. His interiors are always restrained but beautiful, spare but welcoming. He keeps his color palette in the neutrals while incorporating modern art and details that make his interiors exciting and up to date.
For the Christmas decor in his townhouse in Washington, DC Carter enlisted the Gardener Sidra Forman. Forman kept things understatedly elegant by decorating the doorways and stair rails with simple green garland. Sidra skipped the Christmas light and instead embellished the three and the many wreaths throughout the house with yellow burlap ribbons. Love the modern way the ribbons were wrapped around the garlands.
