Flora Kogan’s clients were clear from the get-go that they wanted an artistic and modern space. Taking cues from the East Boston couple’s eclectic tastes, love of plants, and existing artwork, the principal of Zaz Studio created a living room with a contemporary twist on mid-century modern style. Color from a bold work of art is key in the punchy look. “That they had that photograph was a sign that we could play with color and pattern,” the designer says. “Don’t be afraid of doing something bold; regardless of space size, you can make it work.”
