PRIVATE RESIDENCE - Grand Room
(you can see these images larger by clicking on the image)
The beauty and challenge of this room is it's height, which requires larger scale furniture and art work. I also incorporated custom made panel curtains for the windows. There are two different kind of fabric panels layered to give some depth. They can be slide around easily on the rod. I incorporated a photo wallpaper of a flying bird in the big niche / on a second concept a Cole and son birch wallpaper - white cardboard deer head coming through a black baroque frame.White circle shape space divider, gives a sense of separate areas of seating and dining, yet not blocking the view between those two areas.
Family Room
An awkward small corner of a Family room is transferred to a showcase of some family photos, with a narrow credenza and underneath it some additional seating.
I also designed a built-in cabinetry to fit into that small niche between fireplace and shelving. What was the architect thinking?! This hole was obviously made for a Media center, but will only fit a very small TV and there really is no media storage in the market that fits into that tiny space! ...so I designed a built in shelving with doors that will hide all the electronics, DVDs and ugly cords. TV is placed on the adjacent wall.
Teenagers Room
A Small room, where everything happens....from sleeping to homework to listening and playing music and video games.
The fun and very light cardboard divider (from 2modern.com) separates the sleeping area, makes it more mercifull in the mornings when there is "no time" to make the bed ;o)
There is a pretty good size closet in the room, but additional storage was added as a doubly duty with the little guest chairs/ ottomans. Map of Finland- vinyl wall decal reminds of the heritage of this teenage boy as well as the framed photos of some familiar places there.

why would you divide such a small room into two even smaller spaces?
Thank you for the comment. i so rarely get any :o)I assume you are talking about the bedroom for a teenage boy.The cardboard divider is very light and not high enough to block the light from the window. It's only purpose is to separate the sleeping area and to serve as a fun little art work in the space. Without that, everything would be too closely crammed...the work area, the sleeping area...the keyboard... I had other concepts for this space, but personally liked this solution the best. :o)
I love the green and white divider. It gives me an idea for my daughter's room. They seem to want the big room that they share divided in half. It makes me want to design a modular, interlocking shelf/wall thing.
Jerry, I think a modular shelving as a room divider serving a double duty as a storage is a fabulous idea. I would love to see that when it's ready :o)
Thank you sir :o)....and yes Love love that wallpaper. one of my all time favorites
