Adding Coziness & Color in Hershey, PA

The office and foyer of this gorgeous Hershey area home were already chock full of beautiful features like soaring ceilings, French doors, built-in bookcases, and rich paint. But our clients wanted the office to have more function and warmth, and the large foyer to feel less empty and cavernous.

The goal in the office was a comfortable space that could function well for work but also provide a quiet, cozy space for crocheting and reading. A rework of the layout allowed space for two comfy armchairs to add seating to the room, as well as minimized the visual emphasis of the multiple monitors and accompanying cords. A large area rug played off of the beautiful paint color to add warmth. The desk chair, the workhorse of any office, is cushy enough for long periods of sitting but still stylish.

The foyer, which is the size of a small bedroom, was fairly empty and any art or furniture that was present was so small in scale in comparison to the size of the space. First and foremost, we knew a large, impactful area rug would immediately help fill the space. We also amped up the art, especially in color, to visually fill the space. Lastly, a round textured entry table with a large vase of stems capped off the design.
