A Bold Composition
Lakeview Residence | Chicago, Illinois
The family wanted a home that reflected their love of design while accommodating the different needs of everyone in the family. Each space had its own purpose, and the goal was to bring everything together while allowing every room to have its own character.
The connected living and dining areas were designed with entertaining in mind. Furniture placement was key to creating a comfortable setting for conversation and gatherings. Swivel chairs allow guests to turn toward different areas of the room, and we incorporated the piano into the layout as part of the living space.
The entryway was designed around the family's daily routine, with practical storage for shoes, coats, hats, gloves and scooters. In the primary bedroom, we created a reading nook and a thoughtfully designed closet. The two bedrooms needed to accommodate homework and sleepovers while remaining flexible enough to grow with them.
Throughout the home, color, pattern, texture and contrasting finishes bring personality to each space while creating a cohesive feel throughout the residence.
Paula Interiors provided full-service interior design for the entryway, living area, primary bedroom and two kids bedrooms.
