Bedroom - large transitional master dark wood floor bedroom idea in Boston with multicolored walls

This artistic and design-forward family approached us at the beginning of the pandemic with a design prompt to blend their love of midcentury modern design with their Caribbean roots. With her parents originating from Trinidad & Tobago and his parents from Jamaica, they wanted their home to be an authentic representation of their heritage, with a midcentury modern twist. We found inspiration from a colorful Trinidad & Tobago tourism poster that they already owned and carried the tropical colors throughout the house — rich blues in the main bathroom, deep greens and oranges in the powder bathroom, mustard yellow in the dining room and guest bathroom, and sage green in the kitchen. This project was featured on Dwell in January 2022.

To maintain the home's visual flow, designers continued the horizontal wood plank wall motif throughout the home, including on two pantry doors and the kitchen back splash. They integrated the indoors with the outdoors by (a) opening up views (b) replacing three living room windows with French doors that open onto patio and (c) creating an exterior covered outdoor living, dining and kitchen area between the pool and house.

Perched on a forested hillside above Missoula, the Pattee Canyon Residence provides a series of bright, light filled spaces for a young family of six. Set into the hillside, the home appears humble from the street while opening up to panoramic views towards the valley. The family frequently puts on large gatherings for friends of all ages; thus, multiple “eddy out” spaces were created throughout the home for more intimate chats. Exposed steel structural ribs and generous glazing in the great room create a rhythm and draw one’s gaze to the folding horizon. Smaller windows on the lower level frame intimate portraits of nature. Cedar siding and dark shingle roofing help the home blend in with its piney surroundings. Inside, rough sawn cabinetry and nature inspired tile provide a textural balance with the bright white spaces and contemporary fixtures.

Originally a home office, this space was converted into a dreamy nursery. The design began with a whimsical wallpaper, primarily neutral with subtle pinks and turquoise. The gender of the baby was to be a surprise, so the design remained gender neutral, focusing on texture and pattern rather than a traditional color scheme. Amy Bartlam
