Emily Tucker Design

Introducing Marine: a Boulder decorating project layered with color, character, and a sense of playfulness woven throughout every room.

From the patterned grasscloth wallpaper wrapping the powder bath to the custom upholstery moments and collected mix of prints across the home, this project embraces the idea that thoughtful layering makes a space feel truly lived in.

One of our favorite spaces might be the playroom designed for our clients’ twin grandsons: a room created for imagination, gathering, and growing into over time.

Marine is full of personality in the best way: tailored but never too serious, colorful without feeling overwhelming, and expressive in the best way possible. What’s your favorite element of our latest project? Tell us below.

Designer’s Eye: Two-Toned Plaster Walls

For this space, we layered two soft hues of blue plaster within the wall paneling to create subtle depth, movement, and dimension. The tonal variation catches the light differently throughout the day, giving the walls a softness that feels both architectural and atmospheric.

It’s a restrained detail, but one that changes the entire mood of the room in the most understated way.
