Mauve Home

Wicker Park Residence | Chicago, Illinois

The family loves to entertain and wanted their open living space to feel welcoming and comfortable for gatherings of all sizes. The design brings together two seating areas: one for larger groups and another, more intimate spot for reading, relaxing or spending time together. When friends and family come over, both areas become part of the gathering, with room for adults to mingle and little ones to play.

The goal was to create a space that felt relaxed and family-friendly without sacrificing sophistication. Mauve and warm neutrals create a soft backdrop, while the blue wall at the back brings in an unexpected pop of color. The mix gives the room just the right amount of contrast.

Paula Interiors provided interior design and furnishing for the living room and entryway.
