Case in point: a historic Highland Park, Texas, home designed to be simultaneously family friendly and showstopping. “People don’t look to us for plain, white boxes,” Boynton notes. This can be seen in the home’s unexpected blend of colors and styles, such as the sky blue found in the family room’s Phillip Jeffries grasscloth wallcovering and sofa from Smink, paired with an armchair and couch in deep purple. In the living room, a modern abstract painting hangs above a C&C Milano stripe on a classic custom chaise, while the dining room showcases a midcentury Slim Aarons print among antique furnishings. While bringing oomph to a home defines the firm’s style, they’re not afraid to embrace what’s already there. For this home, the team leaned into the dark wood walls of the office- cum-game room by layering in vintage pieces. And for the screened-in porch, they looked to the homeowners’ furnishings. In the end, the home captures what the firm does best: create visually rich spaces without losing sight of everyday life. Family Room
