Fall is in the air here in New York City. Although the weather has been warm, the breeze blowing through the City is unmistakably Autumn. Golden, auburn and persimmon leaves swirl down the sidewalk in Tribeca, ghosts and ghouls adorn the trees and brownstone stoops in the West Village, and brightly hued pumpkins and seasonal squash decorate the tables and menus of restaurants on every corner. As we approach the end of the month, specifically Halloween, I thought I would pay homage to the classic colors of orange and black. If paired correctly, the fusion of orange and black doesn't always have to scream Halloween, and it is a lovely combination all the year 'round.

Designer David Cafiero painted this living room a peachy-orange and then brought a more ruby-orange into the space through a vibrant patterned fabric. Jet-black finishes give the pastel room a sleeker edge.
