2015 ENVISION DESIGN COMPETITON
Barbara Tabak , WFCP Decorating Den Interiors Second Place (TIe), Whole Room Integration Design Concept Inspired by the idyllic scenery surrounding this sunroom, Barbara Tabak settled on a palette of white, beige and gray to enhance the overall feeling of tranquility. With that motivation in mind, the simplicity and organic nature of woven wood Roman shades, without the distraction of other window treatments, were selected to dress the windows. The shades were fabricated without lining so that they would provide a moderate amount of light diffusion with little obstruction of the view—while still offering privacy for the family. A simple 8" self valance finishes the shades. The furnishings combine clean-lined upholstered pieces that work in juxtaposition with the nature-inspired accessories. The seating area consists of a contemporary sofa that is upholstered in a beautiful linen-like, beige fabric and a companion lounge chair adorned with a classic beige and white herringbone pattern. A coffee-colored occasional chair upholstered in beige and gray houndstooth rounds out the upholstery pieces. A unique driftwood and glass coffee table, as well as a ceramic and glass end table completes the seating area. Whether the homeowners are simply ready to relax with a libation at the end of the day, or are hosting a get-together for family and friends, a fully stocked bar cabinet is on hand, filled with all the amenities to mix the perfect cocktail—glass and wine racks, corkscrews, ice bucket and plenty of shelving to hold a variety of spirts.
