ere are other design elements that provide a sense of cohesiveness throughout the different areas of the house, such as the doors and trims colored in Benjamin Moore's brack-gray-brown Wrought Iron, which served as a grounding element around which Colaneri built his entire color palette. e same can be said of the brass accents peppered throughout the house, particularly in the kitchen area. But even though Colaneri envisioned an open, practically wall-less living space, he still felt that each area needed its own distinguishing features. According to Colaneri, "Whenever you're dealing with open spaces, it's an open space but you do need to define it in some way. e way that you define it in that space [the dining area] is with the rug. Having the rug, with that Fuschia color, is a transition point, and even if there are no walls up, it does define it underneath a white table." And if the dining area is defined by its big rug, the kitchen area is defined by the position of the dining table in relation to the island, and by its big, lighting fixtures hanging over it.
