Many people are faced with the challenge of how they can update a room using existing furniture and incorporating new. As designers, we are mindful of the emotional attachments people have with their furnishings and are focused on the seamless integration of “old” and “new” items. Recently, our client asked us to rejuvenate her master bedroom. She requested a colorful environment with a soft, feminine flair that would breathe life into the space.
Our first priority for this project was to improve the scale of the furnishings within her bedroom. One of the solutions was to select appropriate table lamps for the two nightstands and antique occasional table.
Below, are the lamp options we presented to our client:
The boring old coat hook is a thing of the past. There is wonderful, creative hardware available to spruce up any entry and add a little interest and conversation to the foyer. Unexpected objects and figures add a playful element to the function of ordinary hardware.
This cast bronze horse hook has an understated elegance while maintaining a light hearted presence. This would fit in nicely into the eclectic display of hooks in the entryway below…
The powder room should be something your guests remember. This powder room originally had beige walls and a metal grape vine pedestal sink that was out of scale for the room. The client wanted a room with a little excitement and richness. She has a love for blues and reds which is carried throughout the home.
We played with wallpaper on both the walls and ceiling. The walls have a subtle organic pattern with pops of red flowers. We contrasted the ceiling with a wine colored heavy textured grass cloth.
It all started with the knowledge that our client loves wine. We assessed the space, addressed building restrictions, and determined the best use and function for this blank wall – a custom built wine cabinet.
