home Family Room “For this room right off the kitchen, we wanted to create a cozy everyday family room,” explains the designer, who played up the space’s architectural details with a color palette comprising shades of gray and cream. Biroc paired a tailored Ethan Allen sectional sofa in dark gray chenille and Philip Jeffries’ dark gray grasscloth wallpaper with shades of lighter gray on the club chair and the painted and glazed built-ins and barrel ceiling. The marble fireplace surround features a modern herringbone pattern, subtly complementing chevron-patterned relaxed roman shades. Extra shimmer comes in the form of an antiqued light gray wood chandelier with dark gray iron arms and a glass-top cocktail table by Stanley Furniture. Foyer “I wanted to do something daring in the entrance that would have a visual and unex- pected impact, something that would absolutely become an instant topic of conversa- tion” says Biroc of the custom-fin- ished Century Furniture chest in an eye-popping shade of orange. The piece is a vibrant counter- point to the foyer’s more neutral furnishings and finishes, which include a cream-colored textured wool carpet by J&S Designer Flooring, and a shimmery champagne-colored pedestal table by Old Biscayne Designs set beneath a chandelier by Fine Arts Lamps. Biroc accessorized the table with Global Views’ exquisite porcelain peacock in aqua, and custom-designed florals. > WAYNE MAGAZINE SPRING 2018 41
