Design by Barbara Gilbert Interiors in Dallas, TX. Our client wanted a home office that was girly, colorful and functional. Using a coral patterned wallpaper warmed up the walls and makes a great back drop for the furniture and artwork.

The secondary home office feels open and airy, surrounded by windows on three sides that flood the space with natural light and create an inspiring connection to the outdoors. With tranquil views and a light, comfortable atmosphere, it’s an ideal setting for focused work while still feeling relaxed and refreshed. This unique custom home was beautifully designed by the architects of Ike Kligerman Barkley (IKB). “Shingle Splendor” is located in the private lake community of The Cliffs at Keowee Springs, where luxury lakeside living and world-class golf define the lifestyle. With its stone and shingle exterior, this Morgan-Keefe home captures a refined modern cottage flair. The distinctive shingled roofline extends to the front door, while the rear of the home overlooks Lake Keowee. The cottage feel continues inside through thoughtful natural accents and finishes throughout. This remarkable home has been featured in Architectural Digest.

This beautiful study was part of a whole house design and renovation by Haven Design and Construction. For this room, our objective was to create a feminine and sophisticated study for our client. She requested a design that was unique and fresh, but still warm and inviting. We wallpapered the back of the bookcases in an eye catching metallic vine pattern to add a feminine touch. Then, we selected a deep gray tone from the wallpaper and painted the bookcases and wainscoting in this striking color. We replaced the carpet with a light wood flooring that compliments the gray woodwork. Our client preferred a petite desk, just large enough for paying bills or working on her laptop, so our first furniture selection was a lovely black desk with feminine curved detailing and delicate star hardware. The room still needed a focal point, so we selected a striking lucite and gold chandelier to set the tone. The design was completed by a pair of gray velvet guest chairs. The gold twig pattern on the back of the chairs compliments the metallic wallpaper pattern perfectly. Finally the room was carefully detailed with unique accessories and custom bound books to fill the bookcases.
