1. LIVING ROOM
Pamela Harvey didn’t let the living room’s traditional bones dictate a conservative style. Instead, she infused the space with modern elements including a 1950s Swedish rug from Doris Leslie Blau and white-lacquered, 1940s-era benches upholstered in a cut-velvet geometric by Schumacher. The result was anything but fussy.

2. DINING ROOM
Schumacher wallpaper depicting a map of Paris circa 1739 inspired Jonathan Senner’s trés soigné dining room, which paid tribute to the City of Light throughout the eras. Vintage benches in an animal print played off an Art Deco-inspired, faux-malachite credenza and a Kelly Wearstler chandelier with a distinctly mid-century vibe.

3. FRONT GARDEN/PORCH
From its flagstone walkway to its lush green plantings, the front garden set an elegant tone. Manicured shrubs enveloped the steps leading to the portico, where the designers installed a built-in bench. Custom planters containing spiraling topiaries ushered visitors into the home with style.

Design: D. Blake Dunlevy and Gina Palmer, D & A Dunlevy Landscapers, Inc.

4. CHINA PANTRY
Visitors might expect to find Grandma’s butter cookies cooling in this space utterly steeped in nostalgia. The designers struck a homey note with aqua-tinted Wood-Mode cabinetry and Farrow & Ball Ranelagh wallpaper on the ceiling. Clever drawers and storage units housed china, stemware and other treasures provided by Goldsborough Glynn.

5. POWDER ROOM
Russian Sconces by Niermann Weeks illuminated the powder room where Russian-born designer Lena Kroupnik paid homage to St. Petersburg, blending classic motifs with modern elements. Crystals on the sconces and faucets and a gold-leaf mirror reflected Farrow & Ball’s Ocelot animal-print wall covering.

6. BREAKFAST ROOM
Working with the original cabinetry, Betsy Barmat Stires infused the kitchen/breakfast room with accents evoking nature. The handmade furniture was by Thos. Moser, and the decorative wall treatment by Dieter Pluntke Decorating. Farrow & Ball wallpaper on the ceiling mimicked clouds, while a chandelier by David Iatesta resembled a tree branch.

7. LIBRARY
In their library/whiskey bar, the designers expertly layered contemporary and classic elements, from a 1760 French tapestry to modern photographs. The celadon ceiling treatment by Studio Artistica tempered the cedar-toned jute wall covering. Chic seating options included an English-style Brunschwig & Fils sofa covered in green velvet.

8. FAMILY ROOM
A bold palette enlivened Kelley Proxmire’s “pretty and practical” family room. She offset walls in a custom coral hue with window treatments in a blue-and-white stripe by Clarence House. Pillows in a Schumacher Chinoiserie picked up the room’s vibrant colors; ceilings covered in Schumacher’s graphic Abstract Leaf wallpaper added a unique touch.

9. BACKSTAIRS
“I went for drama,” says color expert Eve Fay of the four-story back staircase, which she emboldened with Farrow & Ball’s Enigma wallpaper in deep blues. A Circa Lighting chandelier echoed the paper’s geometric motifs. Fay is the DC manager of Farrow & Ball, official paint and wallpaper sponsor of the DC Design House; she also designed the front hall.

Design: Eve Fay, Farrow & Ball

10. SITTING ROOM
Camille Saum injected the sitting room with whimsy, commissioning celebrity caricatures to be painted on one wall (not pictured). She also paired a swirly Doris Leslie Blau rug with burlap draperies embellished infringe. The fireplace was covered in pearlescent tile from Best Tile—the perfect backdrop for an abstract painting from Merritt Gallery.

11. TERRACE
An outdoor oasis, the terrace featured custom-made Country Casual teak furniture, including an armless sectional and lounge chairs. Greenery billowed from tall teak planters. Outdoor fabrics in blue and coral complemented the color scheme in the adjacent family room; striped curtains, also in outdoor fabric, added a touch of privacy.

12. CABANA/ROOF DECK
Channeling her “inner Dorothy Draper,” Quintece Hill-Mattauszek went vintage glam in her indoor-outdoor space. An indoor bar area, with walls covered in paper by Spoonflower, led to the deck. There, guests could sip libations on an outdoor sofa in the shade of a swanky cabana sheathed in Tommy Bahama and Terrasol outdoor fabrics.

13. MASTER SUITE
Victoria Sanchez combined serenity and luxury in the bedroom, where a blue-and-cream palette calmed the senses. Fabricut textiles covered the walls and formed a canopy over the bed—the latter embroidered in a pattern of Sanchez’s design. An antique chaise and lounge chairs from the designer’s Old Town shop encouraged repose.

14. BEDROOM #2
In this guestroom, Charles Almonte captured the drama of sunrise and sunset with striaed burnt-orange wallpaper from Farrow & Ball. Other unexpected touches: a Bamboo Green JANUS et Cie Amari Lounge Chair, which he likened to origami, and drapes in an exuberant Schumacher Chinoiserie.

15. LOFT
Farrow & Ball’s Stiffkey Blue enveloped the loft in a sense of calm. The designers complemented the deep indigo shade with stylish blue and white furnishings, from a Stark Tibetan rug to a custom ottoman in Kravet upholstery. A large-scale modern canvas by Jorge Caceres above the sofa made a bold statement.

16. LOWER GARDEN
The designers tied the woodsy backyard to the architecture of the home with a garden featuring a Country Casual Teak bench, planted beds and topiaries for extra pop. The space not only welcomed guests into the landscape, but also created an inviting view from the neighboring terrace and the interior rooms.

17. LADY LAIR
The Lady Lair was Rachel Dougan’s answer to the ubiquitous man cave. The long, narrow room reminded her of a Pullman car, so she based its décor on a first-class compartment on the Orient Express. A stylish sophisticate would feel right at home amid the eclectic assemblage, from the vintage coffee table to the sofa covered in oxblood Brentano velvet.

18. CHIC RETREAT
Pale green walls handpainted by Cunningham Studios in a subtle Chinoiserie motif created a soothing backdrop for Barbara Brown’s hideaway with custom furnishings designed for reading and relaxing. A comfortable chaise from AmericanEye beckoned, while a window seat created an inviting perch for reclining against custom pillows.

19. DRESSING ROOM
Barbara Brown extended her Chic Retreat into the adjacent Dressing Room where large-print Farrow & Ball Peony wallpaper in silver made the small space “feel functional and important,” she says. The designer combined a modern white console from AmericanEye with a playful Niermann Weeks mirror and blue-and-gold lamps by Circa Lighting.

20. LAUNDRY ROOM
With its cheerful Mosaic Tile backsplash and crisp, white cabinetry, this light and airy space was created to take the drudgery out of laundry day. However, designer Allie Mann appointed the room to tackle other tasks: The sink was a perfect spot for flower arranging while the Caesarstone countertop made a handy surface for arts and crafts projects.

21. GIRL’S ROOM
Dubbed the “Mademoiselle Chambre” by designer Andrea Houck, this hip Parisian-style boudoir was pretty in pinks. Chic furnishings such as the Oly armoire with flower panels and a vintage chair from Miss Pixie’s in DC befitted a worldly ingénue. A cherry blossom painting by Susie Pryor made a delicate finishing touch.
