The dining room features many classic Danish-designed modern pieces. An inlaid segment of herringbone flooring centred around the table subtly helps to ground the dining room and suits the more traditional detailing in the front half of the existing home. Photo by Scott Norsworthy

When an international client moved from Brazil to Stamford, Connecticut, they reached out to Decor Aid, and asked for our help in modernizing a recently purchased suburban home. The client felt that the house was too “cookie-cutter,” and wanted to transform their space into a highly individualized home for their energetic family of four. In addition to giving the house a more updated and modern feel, the client wanted to use the interior design as an opportunity to segment and demarcate each area of the home. They requested that the downstairs area be transformed into a media room, where the whole family could hang out together. Both of the parents work from home, and so their office spaces had to be sequestered from the rest of the house, but conceived without any disruptive design elements. And as the husband is a photographer, he wanted to put his own artwork on display. So the furniture that we sourced had to balance the more traditional elements of the house, while also feeling cohesive with the husband’s bold, graphic, contemporary style of photography. The first step in transforming this house was repainting the interior and exterior, which were originally done in outdated beige and taupe colors. To set the tone for a classically modern design scheme, we painted the exterior a charcoal grey, with a white trim, and repainted the door a crimson red. The home offices were placed in a quiet corner of the house, and outfitted with a similar color palette: grey walls, a white trim, and red accents, for a seamless transition between work space and home life. The house is situated on the edge of a Connecticut forest, with clusters of maple, birch, and hemlock trees lining the property. So we installed white window treatments, to accentuate the natural surroundings, and to highlight the angular architecture of the home. In the entryway, a bold, graphic print, and a thick-pile sheepskin rug set the tone for this modern, yet comfortable home. While the formal room was conceived with a high-contrast neutral palette and angular, contemporary furniture, the downstairs media area includes a spiral staircase, comfortable furniture, and patterned accent pillows, which creates a more relaxed atmosphere. Equipped with a television, a fully-stocked bar, and a variety of table games, the downstairs media area has something for everyone in this energetic young family.

Here you can keep your media paraphernalia safe and sound without the hassle of tangled wiring. There is a single, large pullout drawer in the center where you can keep smaller things such as TV remotes, operating manuals, and more. The subtle classical accents used throughout the design manifest in the form of sophisticated wainscot designs on cabinets, beautifully hand-carved posts on the bottom half, and corbel style spandrels at the base. Special Features: • 100% handcrafted • Solid wood craftsmanship • Tall design • Contemporary looks with classical accents • Segmented arch at the top • Doric style posts at the sides • 1 open shelf at the top • Cut-outs for wire arrangement • 1 pullout drawer • 2 single-door cabinets with 2 internal compartments • 1 double-door cabinet with glass panes • Heirloom quality • Easy maintenance Note: Real wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike.
