This triplex, purchased by a young family, was a new construction home lacking character and originality, with ceilings ranging from 10 to 14 feet high. As a solution to the voluminous space, we created a smaller more intimate feeling using custom wall colors in rich tones, textured wallpapers, and added warmth and personality though patterns, textures, art and antiques. In the oversized playroom we added an additional guest room, and to the master bedroom a small office/dressing room for the husband.
