Designer Ann West has predicted this Washington D.C. residence home for more than 15 decades. In that moment, she has collected a mix of unique antiques, upholstery and dyes and accumulated them in fairly vignettes: Tailored furniture at the formal living area is surrounded by groups of patina mirrors, classic church relics, French-country protects, and finely framed drawings.
While the overall impact feels very elegant, there’s a high/low caliber to the space which gives it a well casual vibe. A salon group of art and other bits doesn’t feel overly calculated or measured. Family photographs are grouped together in front of stacks of books, providing the family area a practicality. All in all, the space is a lesson in beautifully appointed rooms which are also wrought.

Cream, beige, and white upholstered bits from Lee Industries create a pale palette for accessories with patina to choose the stage. Highlights include a Chinese black and yellow coffee table, an antiqued gold mirror and a black iron lamp with paper shade.

The pin-tuck pleats from this couch allow for a tailored aesthetic so that the couch can float well in the area. 2 neo classical french fries from Gore Dean flank the cream mantel, creating visual continuity.

A salon group of prints, framed Church relics, drawings and antiqued mirrors create an eclectic second on the main wall. The country Parisian games grounds the delicate group of creamware and Staffordshire china.

In the living area, a brick fireplace is surrounded by white ceramic products. 2 fern botanical prints emphasise that the group, while large thistle stems produce elevation in two glass jugs that break on each end of the mantel.

The symmetry of the objects mixed with the architectural rock piece hanging above it seems both casual and elegant.

White carnations are dressed up with a ring of boxwood to get a contemporary, sophisticated look that looks a lot more costly than the flowers actually cost.
