The couple's youngest son, Major, is the only Novogratz with his own room. Although he is only five years old, the couple resists going the traditional route of theme decorating. Instead, pieces are thoughtfully considered to give the kids an environment that they can respond to now, but grow with into the future. Here, a portrait of Major by photographer Catherine Hall imbues the space with a sense of ownership. The striped rug teams with a bright red side table and over sized pendant to offer a stimulating environment without being overwhelming.
