Sophisticated Living

May 26, 2015 No Comments

We transformed this Master Bedroom Suite into a quiet respite for a lovely couple. We call this ‘Sophisticated Living’ because of all of the beautiful bespoke details that came together to create this serene environment….A fully custom tufted headboard in soft mohair, luxurious bedding, faux painted ceiling that shimmers in the night time and silk upholstered chairs to lounge in front of the fireplace.

The common element throughout is good design. There’s always a reason why an element is chosen for a certain place, whether it’s a colorful painting in a room or a specific fabric on a chair. There’s also a functionality to every item that is unique to each project’s solution. It’s sort of like an oversized jigsaw puzzle with a place and reason for each piece.

“Your rooms are like a painting. Each component is a brushstroke to create the whole picture. It’s magic every time!”
