Located in the coveted Palisades neighborhood in Washington, DC, the owners of this colonial-style home wanted to showcase their extensive collection of family antiques while lending the interior a more youthful and sophisticated feel using a fresh palette of lighter colors.
Charlotte chose to paint the living room molding and trim with contrasting shades to call attention to the fine woodwork. (Note the bookcase’s interior, which is treated with a deeper shade to create depth and visual interest for books and personal objects.)
Carefully selected drapery hardware serves as “jewelry” to the room, adding important visual interest and detail.
In troubleshooting the space with her clients, Charlotte learned that the master bedroom was in line with the noisy flight paths of Reagan National Airport! A solution of wrap-around draperies provides much-appreciated noise buffering and additional thermal comfort in the cooler months.
