From a serene sitting area to a dramatic ceiling, see how designers are incorporating the natural beauty of Urbane Bronze SW 7048 (245-C7) into their projects.
Ever since announcing the 鈥� Urbane Bronze SW 7048 (245-C7) 鈥� we鈥檝e seen beautiful examples of how designers are using the hue. For the suburban Philadelphia sitting area shown above, designer Brandi Adoff went all in, painting the walls, trim and ceiling Urbane Bronze.
鈥淭he dark color made this nook recede into the background of the rest of the room, and it accentuated and highlighted the colors outside,鈥� she says. 鈥淚t didn鈥檛 disappoint.鈥� The four exceptional projects below don鈥檛 disappoint, either, and they show the versatility of this rooted-in-nature hue.

A Dramatic Backdrop for Dining
Designer Samantha Keeping knew a rich paint color would help create definition for this dining room in Santa Barbara, California. 鈥淚 like to be bold with color because it can be transformative to a space, and Urbane Bronze was just what I was looking for,鈥� she says. 鈥淭he saturated color added the depth we needed.鈥� A geometric grid of mirrors balances the look with just the right dash of shimmer and light.

Topped Off With Style
Urbane Bronze has long been a 鈥渕ust-have鈥� hue for designer Jennifer Haahs. 鈥淚 love using it for ceilings or walls because it is amazingly rich and beautiful no matter the style or project,鈥� she says. In this space at the Peninsula Club in Cornelius, North Carolina, Haahs used it on the ceiling. 鈥淚t gives such a sophisticated and modern look, but one that鈥檚 still warm and inviting,鈥� she says.

A Key Ingredient in the Kitchen
Although this kitchen in Winter Park, Florida, is newly renovated, designer John McClain wanted it to feel like it had been there forever. 鈥淯rbane Bronze was our immediate color choice for the cabinetry to bring richness, depth and a sense of antiquity,鈥� he says. The color also balances the vibrant tile covering all exposed walls. 鈥淛uxtaposing Urbane Bronze against all of the other color and pattern grounded and instantly elevated the entire space.鈥�
