Midwinter Muse

Denver, Colorado

Photographer: Tim Williams Photography

NEIGHBORHOOD:

Mayfair

Property Type:

Single-Family Residence

SCOPE:

Seasonal interior styling and holiday design layered into an existing full-home design.

Design Concept:

Midwinter Muse gives holiday design a richer mood than the standard red-and-green setup. Deep red trees, candlelight, garland, antique accents, patterned rooms, and dramatic styling make the Mayfair home feel dressed for a winter evening. The bar takes a calmer route with glass icicles, eucalyptus, and pine, which gives the whole project a nice shift in pace.

The holiday season always asks for a bit of magic and I decided to answer in red. Deep, layered, saturated red. The tree and garlands are red, flocked in red, the ornaments are red, even the lights are red, because why stop at simply being festive when you can go ALL IN?

Our lounge, meanwhile, takes a quieter cue from the landscape beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. Pine stems, eucalyptus, and glass icicles fall in perfectly imperfect layers, a softer counterpoint to all that bold color in the adjoining rooms.

There’s something wonderfully theatrical about my home dressed for the season. It’s festive, it’s moody, it’s over-the-top in the best possible way. Exactly how the season should be!
