A contemporized design style with a sense of tradition
can be reflected in the main living spaces of the home by juxtaposing
traditional furniture pieces with modern and transitional accents. The
window designs should express elegance and class with pattern and
exaggerated height. Rich layered fabrics and bold accents pieces will
express an ethnic flair, which is a great representation of President
Obama’s global view.
Creating a space within your home where you can retreat and let go of
the day is one of the most important parts of your personal space. A
spa bath can help to achieve this goal. The room should be centered
around all things natural. All five senses should be engaged in a true
spa retreat design. The vision of subtle colors and balance are
comforting to the eye, the sound of tranquility in a water fountain
stimulate the mind, the fragrance of a nice aromatherapy candle or a
diffuser envelop the soul, the touch of soft towels, robes and area
rugs tantalize the skin, and the taste of natural fruit, a warm cup of
tea or a glass of wine can help relax the palate. Another important
space to design for family comfort is Sasha and Malia’s bedrooms.
These young ladies are experiencing a life change that is bigger than
what most children experience. Creating their own special spaces in
their new home will help them to adjust and find comfort in a place
that can be very overwhelming. Scale down their bedrooms by creating
zones within the room, play area, sleep area, study space, etc. Letting
the children choose things like the color and artwork for the room will
give them a sense of ownership of the room.
