Stunning Wallpaper from Relativity Textiles in Chicago

Combining warm wood, raw metal, and tufted silk velvet, the Brandler Bed fits well in a modern design context while maintaining the character and comfort one wants in a bedroom. The base is visually grounded with large planks of honey-toned reclaimed wood that serve to conceal practical under-bed storage. The headboard is upholstered and hand-tufted in a deep blue velvet adding a classic sense of luxury and a soft place to rest one’s head. The steel frame ties these two materials together and adds a sleek industrial flavour to the domestic piece of furniture. Brandler beds are built bespoke and can therefore be customised with each client’s style or storage needs.

Situated along Eagle River, looking across to the mouth of the Ipswich Harbor, this was clearly a little cape house that was married to the sea. The owners were inquiring about adding a simple shed dormer to provide additional exposure to the stunning water view, but they were also interested in what Mathew would design if this beach cottage were his. Inspired by the waves that came ashore mere feet from the little house, Mathew took up a fat marker and sketched a sweeping, S-shape dormer on the waterside of the building. He then described how the dormer would be designed in the shape of an ocean wave. “This way,” he explained, “you will not only be able to see the ocean from your new master bedroom, you’ll also be able to experience that view from a space that actually reflects the spirit of the waves.” Mathew and his team designed the master suite and study using a subtle combination of contemporary and traditional, beach-house elements. The result was a completely unique and one-of-a-kind space inside and out. Transparencies are built into the design via features like gently curved glass that reflects the water and the arched interior window separating the bedroom and bath. On the exterior, the curved dormer on the street side echoes these rounded shapes and lines to create continuity throughout. The sense of movement is accentuated by the continuous, V-groove boarded ceiling that runs from one ocean-shaped dormer through to the opposite side of the house. The bedroom features a cozy sitting area with built in storage and a porthole window to look out onto the rowboats in the harbor. A bathroom and closet were combined into a single room in a modern design that doesn't sacrifice any style or space and provides highly efficient functionality. A striking barn door made of glass with industrial hardware divides the two zones of the master suite. The custom, built-in maple cabinetry of the closets provides a textural counterpoint to the unique glass shower that incorporates sea stones and an ocean wave motif accent tile. With this spectacular design vision, the owners are now able to enjoy their stunning view from a bright and spacious interior that brings the natural elements of the beach into the home.

This room starts with a feature wall of a metallic ombre grasscloth wallcovering in gold, silver and gray tones. This wallcovering is the backdrop for a beautifully upholstered gray velvet bed with a tufted headboard and some nailhead detailing on the sides. The layered luxurious bedding has a coverlet with a little bit of glam and a beautiful throw at the foot of the bed. The shams and throw pillows add a touch of glam, as well. We took the clients allergies into account with this bedding and selected something not only gorgeous but can be machine washed, as well. The custom rug has an eye-catching geometric pattern that makes a graphic statement. The quatrefoil Moroccan trellis has a lustrous finish with a tone on tone beige wool accent combining durable yet plush feel under foot. The three geometric shaped benches at the foot of the bed, give a modern twist and add sophistication to this space. We added crown molding with a channel for RGB lighting that can be switched to many different colors. The whimsical polished nickel chandelier in the middle of the tray ceiling and above the bed adds some sparkle and elegance to the space. The onyx oak veneer dresser and coordinating nightstands provide not only functional storage but an elegant visual anchor to this large master bedroom. The nightstands each have a beautiful bedside lamp made of crystal and champagne glass. There is a wall hung water fountain above the dresser that has a black slate background with lighting and a Java trim with neutral rocks in the bottom tray. The sound of water brings a relaxing quality to this space while also being mesmerized by the fireplace across from the foot of the bed. This new linear fireplace was designed with the ultimate relaxation space in mind. The sounds of water and the warmth and visual of fire sets the tone. The wall where the fireplace is was just a flat, blank wall. We gave it some dimension by building part of it out from the wall and used a reeded wood veneer that was a hint darker than the floors. A shallow quartz hearth that is floating above the floor was fabricated to match the beverage countertop and the mantle atop this feature. Her favorite place to lounge is a chaise with a soft and inviting low profile in a natural colored fabric with a plush feather down cushion. With its relaxed tailoring, it presents a serene, sophisticated look. His coordinating chair and ottoman brings a soft touch to this luxe master bedroom. The contrast stitching brings a unique design detail to these pieces. They are both perfect spots to have a cup of coffee and work on your next travel adventure details or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening with the perfect book. His side table is a round white travertine top with a platinum metal base. Her table is oval in shape with a marble top and bottom shelf with an antique metal finish. The beverage bar in the master has a simple, white shaker style cabinet with a dual zone wine/beverage fridge combination. A luxurious quartz top with a waterfall edge on both sides makes this a practical and luxurious place to pour a glass of wine or brew a cup of coffee. A piece of artwork above this area is a reminder of the couples fabulous trip to Italy.

Inspired by the iconic American farmhouse, this transitional home blends a modern sense of space and living with traditional form and materials. Details are streamlined and modernized, while the overall form echoes American nastolgia. Past the expansive and welcoming front patio, one enters through the element of glass tying together the two main brick masses. The airiness of the entry glass wall is carried throughout the home with vaulted ceilings, generous views to the outside and an open tread stair with a metal rail system. The modern openness is balanced by the traditional warmth of interior details, including fireplaces, wood ceiling beams and transitional light fixtures, and the restrained proportion of windows. The home takes advantage of the Colorado sun by maximizing the southern light into the family spaces and Master Bedroom, orienting the Kitchen, Great Room and informal dining around the outdoor living space through views and multi-slide doors, the formal Dining Room spills out to the front patio through a wall of French doors, and the 2nd floor is dominated by a glass wall to the front and a balcony to the rear. As a home for the modern family, it seeks to balance expansive gathering spaces throughout all three levels, both indoors and out, while also providing quiet respites such as the 5-piece Master Suite flooded with southern light, the 2nd floor Reading Nook overlooking the street, nestled between the Master and secondary bedrooms, and the Home Office projecting out into the private rear yard. This home promises to flex with the family looking to entertain or stay in for a quiet evening.

This is our bedroom- When I bought the house 8 years ago I never dreamed that this would be the way the room turned out. The previous had 5 children and only 3 bedrooms, so they put a wall up in the middle of this room. The ceiling was insanely low and it was super dark- We still have some finishing touches, but this space is our favorite in the house and we love relaxing in bed with the fireplace on watching movies.
