Interior designer PAULA DAHER of Daher Interior Design shares the building blocks for a contemporary French bedroom, imbued with timeless accents. Paula says: “My work expresses the notion that a pleasing room is one that has tension between design eras. Mixing contemporary with antique, mixing scale and proportion, is the secret to creating the mix, the interest, the room that pleases the eye and envelops you with comfort.”
MODERN INTRIGUE
“This fabric is a textural sheer that creates modern artistic sophistication. Zimmer + Rohde Graffiti features an intricate woven design, creating a dynamic interplay of color and texture that reflects depth and visual intrigue.”
SILVER SATIN
“The subtle warm grey undertone of Benjamin Moore’s Silver Satin is in balance with the wallpaper and visual texture throughout. The walls have a matte finish, trim is in satin, ceiling in flat.”
WOVEN ANCHORS
“In the bedroom suite (above), the modernity of the table and chairs and contemporary artwork is juxtaposed with antique French doors and layered with a four-poster bed. Anchoring the room is the large-scale patterned Arte Le Mythe wallpaper in Sahara with a rich butterscotch background and woven imagery from Greek Mythology inspired by French toile.”
PAULA DAHER is the principal of Daher Interior Design, an award-winning, full service residential interior design firm. She has recently expanded into Kennebunk with her second design studio and flagship retail store, Mélange Home.
