A Sense of Ease
West Town Residence | Chicago, Illinois
The homeowners wanted their home to feel comfortable and welcoming without being overly decorated. The goal was to create a relaxed setting with warmth, texture and color, while keeping the overall look understated.
We brought in warm wood tones, soft textures and a neutral foundation, then introduced color through carefully selected furnishings and artwork. The reclaimed wood dining table and teal velvet chairs create a striking combination, while the large abstract artwork in shades of blue and violet adds another layer of color. In the living area, soft gray upholstery and natural textures balance these stronger elements.
The mix of natural materials, rich color and expressive artwork gives the space character without making it feel overly formal or coordinated.
Paula Interiors provided full-service interior design for the residence.
