Sometimes you’re lucky enough to work with great existing architecture. This family home features rich moulding from floor to ceiling so we used a light paint color to add contrast, then layered in modern light fixtures and furniture for a touch of tension. There was no sacrificing style in the name of function here either, all of the furnishing and finishes were built to stand up to two young kids and a dog. A final subtle touch of luxury were custom window coverings throughout the home.
