American singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves has designed her Nashville home with the help of designer Lindsay Rhodes. Built in 2012, the house is 3,500 square feet. When the Golden, Tex., native first moved in, the decor was bold, colorful and thickly wallpapered More IS-More.
But Musgraves quickly worked with interior designer Lindsay Rhodes to restore the space to something more akin to a blank canvas. The house has a lot of subway tiles and craftsman style details, so they wanted it all to feel clean.
They basically covered the entire kitchen, and even the entire island, in plaster to create smooth lines and give it a stone-like quality, and then applied a pale mineral paint throughout the house that feels like a watercolor; It's not flat, it has a little dimension.
Most of the house is painted white or off-white, and the occasional sunset hue was chosen for specific personal reasons. The piano room, for example, ends up in dark pink, inspired by a candle Musgraves created in collaboration with the popular perfume Boy Smells, which is the perfect balance of male and female.
The dining room's pale yellow striped silk walls are complemented by travertine tables and spherical Murano glass lamps hanging over the entrance. The theme of the round ball is also recurring in the house, as Musgraves had spiritual experiences related to the round ball, which she used as inspiration to bring her personal experience into the design of her new home.
