An Equestrian's Home Office

AN UNUSED SPACE becomes an INSPIRING and functional sight right off the foyer

An unused formal living room was converted into a functional office for the lady of the house, who is an accomplished and self-employed equestrian. Our goal was to add character, personality and function to the office, while at the same time displaying all of the equestrian accessories and wall art she had accumulated over the decades. Initially, our clients were worried about the “beige” walls, which really just served as the canvas for her vast collection of decorative items. By displaying so many of her treasures on the walls, not only could she better enjoy them, but it also minimized clutter everywhere else. A few dashes of purple (a favorite color), such as an accent chair and the trim around the windows, break up the neutrals and browns.

Before - The formal living room served as a combination storage space and exercise room.

After - A beautiful and functional office which displays all of her momentos.
