Bohemian style with a modern twist

These pictures are of a family room I recently completed for a client. They were taken by the lovely Sara Bateman a few weeks back. One of the things that I love about what I do is that each project presents a new challenge, and ultimately a new style. My client Stacy wanted a space that felt bohemian and eclectic, but modern at the same time. What I love most about this space is the detail, pattern, and interest in it. Between the art, objects, and textiles there is so much to look at but because it is all unified by a simple color palette, it pulls together.

We used a microvelvet on the sofa (feels like velvet, holds up like microfiber and is great with kids) to soften the look and add coziness and a modern lacquered coffee table.The chevron rug is from Calypso Home.
My client Stacy had a great collection of art and prints that help bring an eclectic vibe to the space.
I love the texture these woven chairs bring in. These were the client's own, but I knew I didn't want this space to feel too new of contrived so we decided they would stay and just added some sweet little pillows to tie them in.



The media piece and coffee table are both by Bungalow 5 and add a sophisticated and modern feel to the space.

Little Lila was our assistant on the photo shoot. We're just finishing up her room
upstairs with the most gorgeous Thibaut wallpaper. I can't wait to share it with you!

The key to getting an eclectic look is all in the mix.
I love searching out interesting accessories to add some unexpected details.


So what do you think? I want to move right in.
Stay tuned later this week for another spot in the house!
