Den Refresh
den : noun
3 : a comfortable usually secluded room
From bleak to rich. Creating a warm space from an often forgot spare room…
This room started as four white walls. It was an ‘extra’ space in the client’s home that had never received much time or personalization since they moved in.
After some time in the home, the homeowners felt that the perfect use for this space was as a post-retirement office/den—a place to escape and work on projects, read, pay bills, drink coffee, and relax.
The design vision for this office/den was moody and masculine, and based around warm, rich colors and textures. As you enter the space, you instantly see the focal wall—a beautiful combination of board & batten detailing, a bronze grass cloth wallpaper, and vintage antiqued mirror. We then saturated the room in color, not only by painting the walls, but also by painting out the trim, outlets, and interior door to match.
Dark ebony furniture pieces were brought in, and accompanied by a loungey, cozy, upholstered leather chair, hide rug, and touches of old-world antique décor pieces.
