THE GUESTROOM

Chicago, IL

A deeply personal space shaped through color, vintage sourcing, custom details and collected objects. Antique lighting, layered artwork and furnishings gathered over time create a room that feels established rather than newly decorated. Custom red panels and a sourced antique chandelier bring structure to the space, while vintage objects and artwork add the final layers of character.
