Sleepy Hollow Home
Design Project by GLOBAL HOME
Head Designers: Joe Giamarese & Vivian Hung
When the home-owners moved from their Manhattan apartment to this massive contemporary home on the river in Westchester County, NY, they found they had about 10% of the furnishings they needed to fill their new house in a manner appropriate for a growing family. Furthermore, their new home, while gorgeously situated, lacked character and was about 30 years out of date. The finishes were off, and all the trim was done in a warm oak, complimented by sand colored walls. All together, the home felt dingy, despite an abundance of natural daylight and spectacular vistas.
First step was to clean up the envelope. We went with a barely-there beige and bright white trim through the majority of the house and added a little more warmth in the dining room and bedroom with a more yellow and pink tone. Once we whited-out the oak trim, everything began to take shape.
Next, we developed the furniture and decor plan to reflect the home-owner's eclectic bohemian sensibilities, but paired it with crisp mid-century lines to elevate it to the contemporary architecture. We recommended a mix of patterns, textures, and colors against a neutral field. The result is sophisticated, livable, and fresh.
