Nestled in the heart of Scarsdale, a suburb of New York, lies the charming cottage of Havenly client, Marisa F. Though the home is traditional, Marisa and her family wanted to create a space that would better suit their love for contemporary design. After searching high and low for an affordable interior decorator, Marisa put her trust in the hands of a Havenly designer, Shelby Girard, to bring her vision to life.
“Marisa was an amazing client to work with! She wanted help with four rooms in her house, so it was important to keep in mind the importance of consistency, since the four rooms flowed into one another.” – Shelby Girard
A Darling Dining Room
The dining room had beautiful moulding details and was easy to embellish with new chairs, a rug, lighting, and artwork. Then, the entryway just needed a few statement pieces to create an impactful first impression when guests enter the home.
A Family-Friendly Living Room
Marisa’s style is very elegant and classic, but contemporary as well, and the spaces, especially the living room, needed to be kid-friendly.
While Marisa already had a large sectional, Shelby was able to complete the look with a storage ottoman, console table, window bench, side tables, and decor to elevate the space and create a nice blend of family room and formal entertaining space.
A Library to Love
In the library, Marisa wanted to keep the black walls, so Shelby created a moodier feel to serve as a secondary entertaining space where they could also cozy up with a book.
Entryway Elegance
The entryway is one of our personal favorites at Havenly. It’s equal parts classic and contemporary, with neutral elements that give it a fresh, put-together aesthetic.
All in all, Marisa’s home turned out beautifully and fits her aesthetic and lifestyle incredibly well. View the final reveal below:
