When a Weston, Massachusetts, family fell in love with this tree-lined property, they worked closely with an architect to build a gracious home that would offer a traditional exterior with a more contemporary floor plan. The design of the interior combines the practical needs of children with the sophisticated lifestyle of parents who enjoy entertaining.
Child-friendly fabrics on the chairs, sofa, and ottomans in the first-floor living areas are balanced by sophisticated silk wall treatments and textured fabrics in the dining room, as well as by selections from the family's art collection hung throughout their home. The family room furnishings offer a floor plan that can be divided into three intimate seating areas or can open to create a space for large gatherings.
