Elegant Country Home

This room as well as the master bath posed some design challenges. Numerous windows, doors, and curved walls as well as a half wall just inside the door made furniture selection and placement a challenge. The half wall was removed, and a well-designed closet replaced dressers. The custom chaise provides a wonderful spot for cozy reading. Dramatic paint colours were continued from other areas of the house for a warm, cohesive look. The original fireplace was replaced with a more elegant plaster one, using limestone tiles that coordinate with those in the master bath. We used luxurious fabrics to design the custom bedding and valances, and Hunter Douglas Duette shades keep out early morning rays. Attention to detail was important in every aspect of design. Style motifs like those in the lamps complement the sconces that were placed on either side of the lovely original painting by artist Min Ma. Photo by Graham Twomey
