Family Home Gets New Layout, Fun Color Palette

From: Claire Paquin

November 29, 2018

This home in Greenwich, Conn., belongs to a family of four, but lacked the functionality to fit their lifestyle. So designer Claire Paquin opened the interior and installed multi-purpose pieces like a window seat with cabinets and a buffet for extra storage. Green and blue accents ensure that the design feels fun and youthful as well.

Before: Green Living Room

This home's living room felt drab and uninspired, plus it was closed off from the floor's other living areas.

Contemporary Living Room and Blue Front Door

A blue front door sets the colorful stage for this lovely house that features bright accents and an open, airy feel. The original main floor was made up of a series of small rooms; the designers removed walls to create this layout.
