Dressed for a Party
Dressed for a Party
Wellesley, MA
While comfort and functionality were paramount for this busy household with young children, the ability to entertain in style was also high on our clients’ wish list.
Set against a neutral palette, sophisticated materials, forms, and textures were incorporated to elevate the overall design. Plush fabrics and rich jewel-tone touches in the living spaces meet their match with a trio of mixed metal tables and glass elements. In the entry, an oversized chandelier is a stunning sculptural focal point for all ages, while a vibrant wall installation provides a welcoming pop of color.
Photography by Read McKendree“We worked with Rachel Reider and her team to design our mudroom, entryway, living room and den, and the entire process was outstanding from start to finish. We were very impressed with Rachel’s organized and thoughtful approach to understand our tastes, needs and vision for the spaces. She asked for feedback on dozens of fabrics and wallcoverings samples, as well as furniture and lighting images, to better understand our preferences. She took that information and translated it into an incredible design presentation that exceeded all our expectations! The spaces that she created are warm, sophisticated, livable and truly “us.” Rachel’s professionalism, outstanding taste and ability to listen to her clients is unparalleled. Thank you, Rachel and team, for making this potentially very overwhelming process so enjoyable. Our newly designed spaces are exceptional and we cannot believe this is our home! We will be lifelong clients, and we look forward to starting the next project with the RRI team!”
