Wilmette Historical Home

Nestled in the highly coveted CAGE neighborhood on brick-paved Chestnut street in Wilmette, this historical home had great bones but felt too traditional. The homeowner wanted color and curiosities throughout to create interest and to make the home feel personal. Chic, glamorous, and with a wink of cheekiness, the inspiration for this home was to create a timelessly curated space that pulled pieces and shapes from the 1940s-70s. The goal was to be light, bright, and airy, but never boring.
Project Year: 2016
Country: United States
This dining room blends traditional moulding and an antique mashad area rug with a clean lined dining table and mid-century inspired leather chairs. The periwinkle draperies add an element of surprise and keeps the room playful and light.

The clean white walls in the living room create the perfect canvas to play with pattern, color and texture. The barely there chandelier allows the ceiling to pop while the layered rugs add a comfortable feel to the space. The indigo velvet sofa adds a dark focal point and grounds the sitting area.

A vintage marble table provides a divider between the two sitting areas. The striking color and texture creates a focal point between the two spaces. It picks up on the hints of red and pink throughout both sides bringing those pieces together.
