The brown sectional sofa and the blue woven ottoman set the tone for the room. The leather chairs have a whimsical and bright chenille fabric on the loose seat and back cushions. The sofa is large and in proportion to the 10' ceilings and the open floor plan; maintaining an open, airy feel for large or small groups. The painting of a large wave acknowledges the home's beach location; a sisal area rug adds warmth with a natural element. Pale blue walls enhance and define fireplace as well as the beautiful moldings and millwork.

Inspiration for a large modern formal and open concept porcelain tile and beige floor living room remodel in Boston with beige walls, a ribbon fireplace, a stone fireplace and no tv

This wonderfully adventurous client had no fear of color! She wanted a luxe Moroccan vibe for the remodeled suite. An adjoining area - a rabbit warren of rooms comprising an awkward bath and tiny closets- was transformed into a luxurious bath that opens onto the spectacular view. (Following photos) A small bedroom behind the bed wall was made into a closet/dressing room. I added custom silk draperies with metal ball fringe, custom duvet and pillows, and covered the cool barrel chairs (the client's thrift find) with a sparkly chenille with aqua velvet trim. The fireplace was faced with labradorite (also used in adjoining bath), and the area above was boxed out so that a tv could be placed behind closed doors. A rich chocolate color was used on the walls, and for the shag carpet. You may surprised to learn that 12 different fabrics and trims were used to pull this harmonious look together.

This contemporary master bedroom features a comfortable seating area with a beautiful sectional with matching storage ottoman in a soft, luxurious chenille fabric. Accents of gold and grey create a soft, monochromatic feel and add to the delicate romance. A beautiful scroll pattern rug from Surya feels great underfoot and looks amazing over the cork flooring. A cotton duvet cover with delicate details is beautiful but also easy to wash. Non-matching his and hers side tables add to the curated look.

Ann Kenkel Interiors Gwin Hunt PhotographyCoastal Estate in St. Michael's Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. House was designed after the original 1770's house on the property. Home was designed to be a formal house but was now being used as a weekend retreat. Ann Kenkel had to decorate the house in a manner which was coastal enough so owner's felt like they were on vacation yet formal enough for the style of the house. AK found the house filled with wallpaper from the 1980's. Wallpaper from every room was removed and all trim had to be painted a neutral color. The formal dining room only had one entry. AK opened up a second entry into the dining room which provided a view of the Chesapeake Bay.
