A nother aspect of this home that contributes to a holistic lifestyle is Grochowski's complex use of color. e rooms range from having clean backgrounds with the only hint of color coming from accessories to possessing a vibrant purple rug or artwork flecked with every color of the rainbow. Grochowski describes this juxtaposition by saying "when you're trying to create a sense of calm with color, it's not overdoing the color—it's the balance between the neutral and the use of the color." She also recognizes the comfort in familiarity; much like how RHG A+D used metal as a common material from room to room, the color purple can be seen in nearly every room of the house, inspired by the outstanding rug in the foyer. e downstairs theater has a light purple sofa, the master bathroom chair has a rich hue to it, and even the flower bouquets, despite the variety in their backgrounds, show the shade's versatility. However, Grochowski ensures the color is not overdone; she says that by threading a specific color throughout a house, "it's having the color with some restraint, and then also finding the places that you want to have fun." One of the prominent elements that supports Grochowski's vision is the steel and smart glass wall at the back of the house. It floods the indoor living space with natural light and views of the lush backyard, which is multi-colored all seasons of the year. Here, the ideal connection between indoors and out is exemplified. To Grochowski, "engaging with outdoor space is an inherent reminder of universal connection and that supports peace and wellness." V U E N J . C O M 86
