It sits at the edge of a 212-acre nature preserve so naturally the large windows were a must. The interiors, influenced by Scandinavian design, include this bedroom for one of her four children. A rattan daybed is a perfect place to lounge, and the whimsical wall art adds a graphic and modern touch. photography by 22 waves The design team at Epic Interiors infused this girl’s room with cheerful lavender walls and shades of pink in the accessories and artwork. Paint by Benjamin Moore . Above: Jennifer Cole, of Jenami Designs, satisfied her client’s love of Pop Art and bright colors in a home that combines glamour with family-friendly spaces for the couple’s three children. The lower level of the home was transformed into a kid zone with places to dress up, read, do homework, and watch television. Ample counter space for art projects and homework, and fun art elements throughout make it a truly livable space for busy kids.
