Play. Pause. Entertain.
Wicker Park Residence | Chicago, Illinois
The family had a basement with plenty of potential, but it felt unfinished and they weren't sure how to make it work for everything they had in mind. They wanted one space where they could meditate, entertain and give their son room to play. They already had their furniture but needed help bringing everything together and making the space feel inviting.
We used wallpaper to introduce pattern and texture, walnut paneling to visually break up the open space, and cabinetry to add storage and function. We also added recessed lighting to make the space feel brighter and more welcoming. Color selections were an important part of the process. Since the husband is colorblind, we carefully considered the palette so the colors would work for him as well as the rest of the family.
Paula Interiors provided interior design, including space planning, cabinetry design, wallpaper and finish selections, lighting design and design coordination.
