The elegance of French style graciously adorns this home.  Meticulous care was given to every detail including a lovely powder room.  This is a place where guests have an opportunity to study and appreciate the intricacies of every special touch.

The Design Process:

The goal was to create a faux finish for the walls that introduced warmth and dimension.  Plasters can often give the impression of a cold and hard surface.  Therefore, the intriguing texture and dimension of “leather leaf” was more fitting.  The palate of the room flows with the color story of the home.  Warm tones and gentle blending of soft greens are consistent with the window treatments and furnishings just outside of this room.

Remaining true to the French style, a raised Fleur De Lei pattern was incorporated.  To keep it interesting, they were placed in specific yet random locations.  This way, they would work to compliment the artwork and other embellishments in the space.  Each one was highlited in bronze allowing them to dance across the walls.  This exquisite finish is a magnificent background that everyone wants to touch.

First impressions of a home are established the minute you enter the front door.  This is where the stage is set as a preview for what is to come.  In essence, it is the opening act.

In this home, the dining room is directly off of the foyer.  The objective was to create an ambiance of tailored elegance.  A sophisticated color palate was chosen to offset the sleek furnishings.  The wall finish acts as a chic backdrop to soften the appearance of the straight contemporary lines.  In this case, the reflective qualities are consistent with the high sheen of the fabrics and the shiny surfaces.  This captivating room grabs your attention and invites you to enjoy the show.

The Design Process:

The request from this homeowner was to take this room out of the 1990’s.  She wanted soft, sleek, elegant and plenty of ”bling”.  The first decision was to define an updated color palate.  From there, a selection of rich fabrics, clean lined furnishings and glimmering accessories were chosen.  This is the point where the perfect wall finish was developed.  It needed to be subtle yet incorporate reflective qualities that would compliment but not compete with the other elements in the space.  Undertones of blue are present but given interest with a texture that reads of icy and dimensional shimmer.  It works as a perfect backdrop to give this room the impression of a sophisticated crystal palace.
