Family Room

Upper East Side Duplex contractor: Mullins Interiors photography by Patrick Cline

This project found its inspiration in the original lines of the home, built in the early 20th century. This great family room did not exist, and the opportunity to bring light and dramatic flair to the house was possible with these large windows and the coffered ceiling with cove lighting. Smaller windows on the right of the space were placed high to allow privacy from the neighbors of this charming suburban neighborhood, while views of the backyard and rear patio allowed for a connection to the outdoors. The door on the left leads to an intimate porch and grilling area that is easily accessible form the kitchen and the rear patio. Another door leads to the mudroom below, another door to a breezeway connector to the garage, and the eventually to the finished basement, laundry room, and extra storage.

Hiding all the family games, paperwork and gubbins these bespoke designed shelves and cabinetry are painted in Basalt by Little Greene, hiding the TV. Styling is key to the open shelving

This modern Aspen interior design defined by clean lines, timeless furnishings and neutral color pallet contrast strikingly with the rugged landscape of the Colorado Rockies that create the stunning panoramic view for the full height windows. The large fireplace is built with solid stone giving the room strength while the massive timbers supporting the ceiling give the room a grand feel. The centrally located bar makes a great place to gather while multiple spaces to lounge and relax give you and your guest the option of where to unwind.

This room was redesigned to accommodate the latest in audio/visual technology. The exposed brick fireplace was clad with wood paneling, sconces were added and the hearth covered with marble. photo by Anne Gummerson
