For a family with three young children, “access and durability were key kitchen design considerations,” says DeLeon. After considering a traditional island with counter-height seating, she opted for a more manageable, easier access arrangement; – a 36"-high island with a built-in banquette and stylish, generously sized dining table by End Grain Furniture and Design featuring a reclaimed top and glass overlay.

The transitional nature of the kitchen and living spaces creates an easy flow between the two rooms.

The study features custom built-in bookcases by Bergen County-based FEA Designs, while the glass desk is decorated by Jonathan Adler’s charming horse lamp. The homeowners’ vintage mid-century white cane-back barrel chairs are finished with cotton cushions in shades of gray and lilac to complement the vintage purple rug.

This boy’s retreat offered the added challenge of designing around the room’s existing architectural features. “Because of the shape of the room, there was only one wall to accommodate a bed,” DeLeon said. The room features a custom upholstered headboard with nail-head trim flanked by built-in window seats by FEA Designs. A classic navy tone-on-tone color palette is executed in the diamond-patterned headboard, navy hounds tooth window cushions and Roman shades in navy pinstripe velvet.
