Light pink floral wallpaper with small elements of black in the nursery tie in with the
windows for a harmonious look. Solid pieces of furniture offset the relative busyness of
the wallpaper, Brady says, and provide balance to the overall design.
In the little girl’s adjacent bathroom, a complementary blush wallpaper in a simplified
watercolor wave pattern serves as a focal point. Remaining elements were kept soft
and subdued, such as the classic white marble mosaic floor tile and the vanity, painted
in Benjamin Moore & Co.’s “Classic Gray.”
bonus room above the garage helps to keep worries to a minimum.
The multifunctional space, which also houses a bunk bed for overnight
guests and plenty of storage for toys and games, has pops of color and
layered design elements that can be updated easily as the children get
older, the designer adds.
Bold and colorful wallpaper choices enliven many spaces, notably in
the children’s en suite bedrooms and baths. “We love using wallpaper …
it has the incredible ability to infuse personality and make a significant
impact on a space,” Brady says.
That impact was not lost on their mom. “My kids’ rooms hold a special
place in my heart,” she says. “I never knew children’s bedrooms could be
playful and sophisticated at the same time, but Salt managed to do that.
I always smile anytime I am in their rooms.” DNJ
