Client Room Reveal~Westin Inspired Sun Room

Today's room makeover was a really fun on-site home styling project.  

 This home belongs to Scott, Beth and Jack, a wonderful family that just moved into a beautiful, brand spanking new home...

Scott and Beth asked me to help them turn their empty sun room into a swanky (but family friendly) lounge.  When we began the project, they mentioned they liked the look of the Westin Hotel.

For inspiration, I took a field trip to the nearest Westin.  Here's a look...

 Westin definitely has a signature style,  I'd describe it as "business swank".  Business in the front, party in the back, no wait...that's a mullet!  Let's just stick with "business swank".  The Westin has a modern, clean, hotel aesthetic with pops of pattern and color.  

After visiting the hotel, I headed back to the design studio and created a design plan for the space.  Then we set out to create a high end look without the high end budget.

Here is the Westin inspired, family friendly lounge created just for Scott, Beth and Jack:

We balanced the project allowance by combining custom pieces with quality home-store finds.  

The furniture was scored at a local furniture store. 

  

The drapery is my favorite feature.

I used a top secret drapery trick to create the illusion of symmetry.  This room is not symmetrical, but using drapery in a sneaky way it appears to be.  Can you spot the trick, if so tell me in the comments.

Stop by next week for a full post dedicated to the drapes.  I can't wait to share the details, including the secret drapery trick and a direct link to the source of the custom drapery shop that made these beauties just for this space.

I'll be sharing more of this home soon.  I had the privilege of styling a few rooms in Scott, Beth and Jack's house.  Humphrey the dog and I have become pretty tight so you will probably see more of him also.    

  

Thank you Scott, Beth and Jack for allowing me to share your new sun room lounge.

I mentioned before that this was an on-site project.  Similar results can be obtained through my online design service (please click here for information).  I am now accepting new clients :).
