Nature’s Color Stories / 03. This entryway begins with a ripe fig: deep purple skin, a crimson heart and a pale cream rim between them. Those colors, read freely rather than matched, become a plum-framed mirror and a glossy plum vase, fig-red seating...

The Welcome
A slim dark-walnut console for the entry wall: tapered legs, a hidden drawer for keys and mail, and no lower shelf, so the floor stays open as in the room. Its warm wood grounds the fig palette. Differences: a clean modern profile instead of the vint...
NTC Mingle 47" Console Table, Dark Walnut
A freeform wavy mirror to order in the Burgundy Frame option, the closest shade here to a ripe fig’s dark skin. The seller confirms it can be hung vertically or horizontally; hung wide, the 35 x 26 in or 39 x 29 in size suits the 47" console, as in t...
Wavy Asymmetrical Mirror, Burgundy Frame
A 48" solid acacia bench for sitting down to put on shoes, with a woven seagrass shelf below. Its warm wood repeats the console. Unlike the room’s bench it has a bare wood seat, so pair it with the fig-red cushion in the next section.
Alisma 48" Acacia Entryway Bench
An ivory rug with faded berry, rose and grey tones, bringing the cream-and-crimson inside of a fig underfoot. Unlike the all-over pattern in the room, it has a central medallion. 100% polyester, in sizes from 2'3" x 3'9" to 9' x 12'.
Loloi II Skye Rug, Ivory/Berry
A pleated fabric shade with a gold canopy for soft, diffused light overhead, echoing the pale cream rim of the fig. It is a compact 12.2" drum, smaller and flatter than the large pleated dome in the room, and the shade is listed as white.
Pelayo Pleated Semi-Flush Light, Gold
A natural brass dome sconce for a warm pool of light beside the mirror; the brass adds a quiet glow next to plum and walnut. It plugs in, so no hardwiring is needed. Its tall arched arm differs from the short straight arm in the room.
Rawlins Plug-In Dome Sconce, Natural Brass
Fig-Inspired Color & Texture
A one-of-a-kind 1980s stoneware urn in a glossy plum oxblood glaze, the deep color of ripe fig skin. It is 13" tall and 7" wide; the seller doesn’t list the mouth diameter, so choose the number of branches by the opening. A single signed vintage piec...
Vintage Plum Oxblood Stoneware Urn Vase
A made-to-size bench cushion; choose Dark Red and 48" x 14". These nominal measurements match the Alisma bench’s listed 48" W x 14" D, but the usable seat area isn’t stated, so check the seat before ordering. It takes the place of the fig-red upholst...
Hokku Bench Cushion, Dark Red
A round bolster in Medium Green, the leafy note of the fig tree against the red seat. The cover is cotton rather than velvet, and the green is softer and more sage than the olive in the room. 7" x 21" with insert.
Deane Bolster Pillow, Medium Green
An ivory basketweave throw with long fringe to fold over the bench, the pale cream of the fig’s inner rim. Synthetic, 50" x 60".
Basketweave Fringe Throw, Ivory
Layered organic shapes in wine red, dusty rose, cream and warm brown bring the fig’s crimson interior to the wall. Poster only; the frame below fits the 18 x 24 in size. Busier than the art in the room, without its fine line drawing. Ships from New Y...
Burgundy, Dusty Rose & Cream Abstract Print
A walnut-brown wood frame in 18" x 24" for the print; the warm wood ties the art to the console and bench. The beveled profile is a little heavier and darker than the slim frame in the room.
Beveled Wood Frame, Walnut Brown
Everyday Finishing Touches
Airy faux branches with small burgundy leaves, like the plum sprays above the console. Sold by the stem; how many to use depends on the vase’s opening. The wired stems (38" tall, 23.6" of foliage) can be cut down for a balanced height. Polyester and ...
Burgundy Leaf Branch, 38"
A low, irregular stoneware bowl for keys and sunglasses by the door. The reactive glaze reads cool white with grey-blue tones rather than the warm cream in the room. About 8" across.
Organic Stoneware Bowl, White Glaze
A 6-ft faux olive tree for the corner by the window, adding the silvery green of the Mediterranean, where fig and olive trees grow side by side. It comes in a white planter instead of the aged stone pot shown.
