The main challenge in this design was creating a space that was both elegant and functional with the limited space and inward opening French doors. The purpose of this office was to conduct the owner’s business and not just paperwork afterhours. Since the homeowner intended the office to be used for clients, we needed to create a space that comfortably accommodated visitors. Since the homeowner is from Cape Verde, a discreet African influence was desired. Therefore, selecting the correct accessory to illustrate this influence was another challenge.

Since our main challenge in designing this room was the limited space and inward opening doors, we decided to incorporate an executive sized, l-shaped desk. By allowing this piece to be the largest in the room, the client was able to have a desk that best suited the needs to run a business from home by having enough space for paperwork and storage, while portraying an elegant and bold look. We then used slim metal frame chairs to provide a comfortable seat for the clients when they visit. By going with a chair with a slim frame, we were able to add two without the room feeling cramped when the doors are either opened or closed. We selected a hand crafted, tribal, hair on hide rug to provide the African influence desired.

This room started off as a tragedy as there was a fire and the entire part of the house was destroyed. Once the dust settled and it was time to rebuild, my client decided to create something amazing. This client wanted a home theater reminiscent of theaters in the 40’s, complete with a curved stage, wet bar and director’s area. They requested that the Victorian style of their home not be forgotten in this design. Additionally, they needed closed storage for their Christmas decorations, etc.

A closet was built the length of the room to provide storage. It also took care of one of the windows that needed to be addressed and gave us a clean slate on that side of the room. The walls are now beautiful wood that was custom crafted on site (over many, many months!). Rose motif carved accent rail runs around the room, which is reflective of the Victorian wood work in other areas of the home. To provide drama, motorized draperies follow the curve of the stage. The track had to be manufactured on site in order to perfectly match the curve of the stage. In order to provide better acoustics, upholstered panels are inserted around the room. The seating is absolutely amazing. Of course, each seat reclines, but the front seats also have armrests that raise up so the homeowner can stretch out to enjoy a show!

The gold and black swag valances make a perfect addition to the design. We could not find a fabric that worked with the carpet, woodwork and upholstery, until I turned this one to the wrong side and we all fell in love with it. Motorized black out shades fit perfectly under the valances to provide full darkness when lowered.

This home movie theater is now the most used room in the home.

Some challenges

The home owners asked us to provide them with a luxurious master bedroom of their dreams without providing any style direction since they had no idea what they wanted.

The problem was that we only had communication with the husband through email and zero communication with his wife as there was a language barrier and both live in Africa. So essentially, we needed to create the bedroom of their dreams without having any clue what their dreams looked like.

Our solutions

We wanted to create a space of intimacy and luxury so we added a king size button tufted upholstered bed in a creamy white and matching upholstered panels on either side of the headboard to add the soft touches that the long wall needed. That, along with the extravagant bedding collection in rich faux fur embellishments, shimmering golden color palette, and regal geometric pattern it became the ultimate place for luxury and comfort.

The floor lamp and chandelier in bright gold leaf finish and clear beads crystal added to the rich color and feel to the room. We also wanted to provide the owners with a nice place to sit and relax together with a nice book or a glass of wine to unwind so we added a double chaise in a rich navy velvet fabric for them to relax in. The beautiful window treatment compliments the bed and completes the look.
