Three revamped rooms — work well together
This decorator’s clients purchased their new Summit, New Jersey home when they were living in California. This meant working with clients remotely with their specific visions. The soon-to-be East Coasters wanted a redesign of their new family, living, and dining rooms. “The goal for the family room was to be kid-friendly, relaxing, and calm”. Colors grounded the serene aesthetic with light gray walls and carpeting. A large, plump sofa in a slightly darker gray softly contrasts with the walls and offers a soft, cozy spot for relaxation.
. 
The family room features soothing gray tones infused with pops of coastal blue. Again, the colors were repeated in the family room.
. 
To infuse the space with a bit of coastal ambiance, the seating was chosen with armchairs in classic blues. “We wanted a little bit of texture and color.” We found the most perfect set of chairs with spool detailing, upholstered in blue-and-white striped fabric. To complement these, we added a single armchair with baby blue fabric.”
In the living room redesign, they added French doors leading to the adjoining office for privacy.” The doors can be closed to muffle sound from the rest of the house while allowing light into the space. The client wanted a dark, moody, lounge area to have a cocktail with friends which she wanted to serve as an in-home retreat as opposed to going out.
. 
The painting between the windows in the living room drew inspiration from the greenery in the artwork to furnish the space.
The renovation involved adding French doors between the living room and office to allow for privacy and sound control while letting in light.
. .
The walls were coated in a medium gray paint. The sofas, in rich green velvet, reinforce the subtle green undertones in the paint, as well as the greenery in the artwork between the windows — a painting of lilacs. Green Chevron window treatments put the finishing touch on the space.
. 
The walls go a step darker in the dining room, where deep blue paint pops against the newly installed white wainscoting. The light wood dining table and neutral rug and chairs play off the saturated color on the walls. The window treatments add a hint of pattern. “The drapery plays a huge part in this room, allowing the space to feel more elevated.” Fabric window coverings are back!
. 
These three rooms each had specific design visions while ensuring they lived well together as you travel from one room to another. All three rooms reflect a sense of calmness and serenity. More specifically, the designs are visually woven together with gold metallic accents in the dining room and living room and neutral textiles across the dining room and family room. It makes sense to select color patterns that harmonize and complement each other- room to room. Nothing says serenely more than shades of blue and green! Unruffled repose!
