Shout outs to the latest #ShareYourShutters winner: Chelsey Rushworth! Her winning submission to #ShareYourShutters features two rooms in her home decked out with stunning new Polywood plantation shutters that beautifully complement both her ornate window frames and modern decor.

 

Chelsey, better known on Instagram as Taste of Coffey, is a Boston-based home designer with a unique eye for matching colors in her decorating. Just one look at her photos shows how she combines both neutral and brighter tones for a look that’s cozy and natural, but fashionable all at the same time.

She even offered some advice for designers in Detroit and around the country:

• Always have a color scheme. When you go about decorating a room, you can always adjust colors to customize it. Make sure to use colors from either your interior color scheme or ones that will accentuate it.

• Be flexible in your use of colors. We use shutters that are vibrant white and most of our furniture is gray, both weathered wood and fabric. So we decided to mix in pops of white and color accents.

Not only does Chelsey have a great eye for color, but the use of space in her design is on point, too. From the chairs she uses that guide the eyes vertically to the wall and her plantation shutters, to the way her shelving lines up perfectly under the window, Chelsey’s home is modern, functional, and very livable without ever seeming overwhelming.

As our contest winner for Fall, we’ll send Chelsey a gift card to a great restaurant in Boston, in addition to featuring her designs here. To see more of her work, click over to her personal site at TasteofCoffey.com.
