The primary bathroom continues the theme of material richness, fashioned with dual vanities, a chaise lounge and white tower cabinets flanking a central walnut cabinet. Exquisite tile work inside the glassenclosed Carrara marble shower is thoughtfully composed with intricate stone details and border insets, bringing depth and dimension to the space.
Moments of whimsy can be found in the plum-toned bedroom, accented with a vintage chandelier sourced from an antique shop in New York City. The closet ceiling wrapped in Gucci wallpaper brings another playful touch.
With the homeowners managing the project from afar, trust was a crucial key throughout the process.“ The amount of trust a client places in us impacts our ability to bring the vision for their home to life; not just ours, but theirs as well,” says Blakely Photopoulos.
The success of the project has led to another ongoing collaboration. In addition to the pool and guest house currently under construction on the Warwick property( the homeowners love the house so much that they’ ve made it their primary residence), Blakely Interior Design will be flying down south for another undertaking at the homeowners’ Florida home.
“ This is a testament to the trust our clients place in us, and the level of design we’ re able to achieve because of it,” says Blakely Photopoulos. ◆
