HOME RENOS

By Nayda Rondon

The designer’s challenge with this home office in Woodcliff Lake was to work with the room’s existing architecture to achieve a sophisticated professional space. Rather than try to minimize the room’s predominant feature—the bookcase built-ins—Pacca went big and bold, designing the entire space around it. Keeping the walls neutral, she revitalized the built-ins by painting them a commanding shade of blue. From there, she chose a modern, multi-hued Jaipur area rug and added complementary pops of color on the window seat and pillows. She sealed the deal with power players like the oversized gold chandelier from Currey & Company, desk from Mr. Brown Home, Moe’s desk chair and two Bernhardt chairs to achieve a room that projects both personal and professional polish.

Pro Tip: Start with one key piece, such as artwork, fabric or an area rug, and design the room around it. Don’t be afraid of paint or oversized pieces such as furniture and light fixtures.
