When our clients moved into a town home, they wanted to refresh the space with a new design. As two well traveled individuals, their passion for people and places is evident in their collection of art and objects from their journeys, which we used as the creative direction for the design.

The dining room is just off the front entry, so we created an immediate impact of both drama and intimacy. The double bookshelves elongated the room, the over-sized pendant made the space feel larger and created a focal point, and the overall composition was rich, warm and elegant. Two orange ottomans gave a pop of color and double as entry benches or extra seating at the dining table.

In the living room, we highlighted an original painting with a carved cabinet that visually anchored it on the long wall. This created a palette of modern earth tones that feel organic but also clean, bold and contemporary. The sofa, ottoman, accent chairs and rug were selected to be a soft muted pallet - comfortable, practical, and calming.
