Child's Play

By turning this room (figuratively) upside down (stripes on ceiling), designer Karen Wolf created a focal point, leading to the giant window showcasing the star of the room—Dwell Studios "Brushed Dot" fabric with peacock and yellow polka dots.

Pile High With Glamour

Glass elements piled on for optimum glamor and their lovely reflective properties translate to a trend you can easily introduce into your home. A portion of the wall is mirrored, but even the addition of glass accessories on a table or dresser can achieve this light, elegant effect. The Old Hollywood feel of this room is amplified with the palm-shaped dining room table with glass top and a subtle, almost shadow-effect custom mural in this stunning dining room from Philip Sides Interior Design. More sugary pastels add to the sumptuous mood.
