Serene Sitting Room

Occupying a quiet, light filled corner of the house, the sitting room was designed as a serene retreat for lounging, reading, working and entertainment. Inspired by the light and openness of the space, we created a palette of creams, taupes and pale golds. The walls were lined with a faux bois wallpaper installed in a grid pattern with the wood grain in alternating directions, which gave the walls subtle movement with a nod to Art Deco. Lacquered walls in the vestibules and desk area provided an unexpected juxtaposition. Draperies in alpaca and silk envelope the room with softness. The room is anchored by a custom double chaise with comfortable wing chairs to one side and custom bookcases on the other. Making the small space multifunctional and allowing it to be utilized for many different uses.
