A Wellesley Retreat ✨

“At the heart of this project was a creative collaboration between our longtime clients and the design and construction teams. Careful planning from the outset allowed us to maximize natural light in this basement recreational space, incorporating generous window wells, high ceilings, and glazed partitions, which created a sense of cohesion with the rest of the home. The lighting designer introduced thoughtful and whimsical effects throughout, which both addressed the functional lighting needs and unified the diverse program of the space, highlighting special details. The built-in circular seat with backlighting, for example, is a testament to great collaboration—architect, interior designer, contractor, lighting designer, millworker, and upholsterer were all intimately involved in the creation of this unique feature!” –Nick Marchio, Project Designer

Color Is Back: Spicing Up the Neutral Palette

Neutral palettes have dominated in recent years–think whites, creams, beiges, and grays. However, there is a refreshing shift happening. Designers and homeowners are embracing vibrant hues, eye-catching patterns, and layered textures to breathe life into otherwise muted spaces. Whether it be a bold wallpaper, a striking light fixture, or unexpected patterns, bringing a little color back into the home is a sure way to transform a neutral space into a truly captivating place to live.
