To soothe city-frayed nerves, the front door opens to entry walls painted in Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue. The Urban Electric Co.'s Urban Smokebell pendant matches the industrial feel of the vintage Dutch steel console. Patricia lamps are from Christopher Spitzmiller.

Dining Room

This Manhattan dining room is painted a moody shade, Benjamin Moore's Narragansett Green, which often reads as blue. Curtains in Fadini Borghi's Monica and striped chairs in C & C Milano's Venezia Rigato add the vigor of orange. Artistic Frame armchairs are in Penny Morrison's Gobi, and Farrow & Ball's Tented Stripe wallpaper covers a hallway beyond. The urchin light fixture is from Mecox.

Inspired by Art

A painting by Kevin Paulsen inspired the living room's softly exotic palette. For casual appeal, Eliza Dyson had the sofa's seat cushion made in the style of a French mattress. The chair is in Raoul Textiles' Fig. The walls are painted in the designer's favorite neutral, Farrow & Ball's Skimming Stone.

Dyson designed her new kitchen around memories of the upstate New York house where she grew up. The chairs are covered in Great Plains' Marrakesh and the French table, Liza Sherman. The Rover pendants are by Ann-Morris, Inc. Featured in the kitchen is a Wolf cooktop. The sink fittings are from Lefroy Brooks. The cabinets are painted in Farrow & Ball's Cornforth White, with handles by Nanz. The subway tiles are from Heritage.

Charlie's Room

Charlie's room has a nautical vibe, from the Madeline Weinrib rug and curtains in Kathryn M. Ireland's Moroccan Stripe to red wall lights from O'Lampia. Heavy-duty linen, Great Plains' Back to Basics, covers the bed. The George Smith's sofa is in China Seas' New Island Palm. The train table is from Pottery Barn Kids. The walls are painted in Hinson's Madagascar grass cloth —" a great staple, like your favorite jeans," Dyson says.

Touching Accents

Because Charlie's birth announcement featured an elephant, Dyson's husband gave her the drawing of pachyderms that now hangs above a dresser as a gift.
