Raleigh Room Redesign
CLAREMONT I
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina
ABOUT THIS REDESIGN PROJECT
Four years after moving into their custom home, this family wanted to finally finish some areas and update a few others. The lady of the house requested a "pretty master" that would provide a respite from her two active boys and a dog. We took design cues from the beautiful tape of the existing window treatments and reupholstered a significant family chair in a soft velvet that invites a momentary respite.
Since then, we have elevated the powder room with a show-stopping yet hard-wearing vinyl paper and brass accessories, recovered kitchen stools in an indestructible and buttery-soft faux leather, added functional seating and surfaces to the primary living room, transformed the playroom into the husband's office, and completed the basement and it's en suite bath that was left untouched after building. We incorporated significant pieces throughout - like the family heirloom record player and the wife's horsebit from her childhood - that result in incredibly functional and meaningful spaces.
