For her dressing room, Alison chose a black-and-white scheme, brightened by flashes of brass in the hardware and the lighting.
For her own room, Alison layered luxurious textures, from the Moroccan rug to the fur blanket. It’s a zone of total peace, and it’s where her children love to stay when they’re under the weather. Cayne, who’s divorced, once again sought to please only herself with the decor. “I’d been married since I was 22. I’d liked making joint decisions in the past, but the idea of completely choosing everything and not running it by anyone felt like a treat. I realized I could paint my bedroom black if I wanted to!” And that’s what she did.
