Home that Found a Pulse
Modern-adventurous
and traditional-conservative. This is a description of a newly
married couple’s individual personalities and preferences.
What would the design of a home for them look like?
Take
the dining room, for example. It is yin and yang just like
these two. The table sits at 45 degrees to the walls under
a modern ‘dancing’ light fixture, which hangs
under a traditionally detailed ceiling. The seating banquette
is a departure but is upholstered in a traditional fabric.
The sideboard is a clean version of a traditional design.
The library pairs the conservative colors of dark green with
mahogany and terra cotta on a fluid and almost sexy deep sofa.
The footstools are leather but in an alternating two-tone
design.
All of this zigzag design somehow works. It is a study in
contrasts, as are the personalities of these two charming
people.
