room and six bedrooms located in Weston, Massachusetts.
The tall ceilings, abundance of natural light and expansive
spaces immediately inspired Thind.
"The owners are a young couple"—Jenny, a harpist and Alex,
who works in finance, and both art and design lovers—"that
wanted to work with me to transform their home in a sensi-
tive manner as they were relocating from a historic Victorian
home to a developer style new-build that needed character,"
Thind remembers. With furniture by Gio Ponti, Vincent Van
Duysen, Kelly Wearstler and Lawson-Fenning—among other
names—and artworks by artists such as Morgan Everhart,
Pierre Fraiture, Danielle O'Connor Akiyama, Léon Esperance
Broquet and Susan Maxfield, the owners' extensive collection
was a very important source of inspiration for Thind. "This
project was a true study on how art can transform a space," she
says. The interior designer chose a palette that would integrate
all these pieces into different areas, creating moments that are
reminiscent of the dwellers' previous home while embracing the
architectural qualities of their new house.
"I chose a variety of colors," Thind says. "The expansive
spaces are white dove to feel illuminated in the natural light,
while the other rooms with different ceiling heights were given
personalities through the use of a strong wallpaper or paint to
bring out the details further." For example, the music room—
where Jenny performs with her harp—has a Phillip Jeffries
grasscloth in a rich rani pink for a more feminine feel. The study
and the dining room were painted a deep Farrow & Ball Inchyra
Blue to highlight the moody nature of the spaces. Furnished
with a vintage Philip and Kelvin Laverne handcrafted brass
coffee table and a Chilton bench, the master bedroom features
RICH VELVETS, LEATHER AND
WOOD TONES THAT ADD A
MODERN ORGANIC FEEL TO
THIS 7,000-SQUARE-FOOT
HOME LOCATED IN WESTON,
MASSACHUSETTS.
IN THIS HOME, THE LARGE VOLUMES OF BRIGHTLY LIT SPACES
WERE DESIGNED TO CAPTURE THE NATURAL LIGHT.
