Jonathan Adler

Color-crazed design guru Jonathan Adler has partnered with Kohler for a brand new collection of vibrantly hued kitchen and bathroom sinks that just became available.

Made from enameled cast iron, the sleek, candy-colored sinks are perfect for adding a cheery dose of color in an unexpected way. Offered in four colorways — Greenwich Green, Piccadilly Yellow, Palermo Blue, and Annapolis Navy — the sinks feel refreshingly bold yet timeless. We love the way they pop in a white kitchen!

In keeping with Kohler's reputation for quality products and service, the sinks even come with a lifetime guarantee. Tell us, which hue is your favorite?

Interior designer, potter, and color-enthusiast Jonathan Adler takes happy chic to uncharted territory this month with the launch of his new toilet paper roll covers for Cottonelle's Spring collection. The three limited-edition roll cover designs are available online, and at just $2 per cover, practically everyone can afford to stash their spare rolls in Adler's signature style.

We caught up with Adler to chat about his Cottonelle collaboration and so much more! Keep reading to get the skinny on his bathroom must haves, bucket-list mantra, squeaky-clean lifestyle, and why he'll never use the male form in his designs.

If you haven't noticed, I'm often inspired by set design. So it comes as no surprise that designers and other interiors enthusiasts would feel the same way. Jonathan Adler recently let the Wall Street Journal in on a little secret: one of his favorite rooms isn't a room at all, but the film set of 1958 film Auntie Mame, starring Rosalind Russell. Watching the swanky midcentury movie, he tells reporter Jen Renzi, is "a right of passage for every aspiring decorator."

As Elle Decor describes her in another article, "Mame Dennis redecorates as often as she changes her dress (or colors her hair, for that matter). She’s a fearless designer and her apartment wafts from Danish Modern to Far Eastern in the film’s time." That sense of adventure in design is what Adler gravitates toward: "When designing for clients," he says, "I like to channel their inner Auntie Mame, to make them appear just a little more glamorous and eccentric than they are."

Hiring Adler on as your interior designer is the surest route to an eccentric and glamorous home, but if that's not in the cards, he's offered five tips to get the look of the film:

1. Have multiple seating zones.
2. Never sacrifice comfort for style.
3. Embrace folly.
4. Separate with screens.
5. Long and low is always chic.

Jonathan Adler recently posted this peacock design on his Facebook page. I love the bird's graceful lines and long, swooping tail. (And seriously: don't you want to see that peacock don the mustache in the background?) The peacock looks gorgeous in its natural clay state, but it looks positively glam after glazing. Keep reading to see the final result and to find out about this decorative object's very no-nonsense function.
