Grand Award Outstanding Single Room Makeover
Barbara Noguera Interiors
The music room in a family’s 10-year-old McLean home was ready for a refresh. The existing space was disjointed, split between a sitting area with a small rug on one side and the piano on the other. The owners called on Barbara Noguera Interiors to turn the room into a stylish, cohesive whole, where the mother, a piano teacher, could continue to teach and the whole family could gather to play and listen to music.
“Our clients have a deep appreciation for the intricate details found in patterns, textures and the rich, saturated colors they’ve encountered through their travels,” says Noguera. This gave the designer and her team the cues they needed to channel British design and elements of the unexpected in their approach.
They selected a large rug to unify the space and installed an oversized light fixture in the center. Vibrant wallpaper and glamorous drapes add a dose of sophistication.

“The thoughtful interplay of color, texture and pattern adds playful energy while maintaining sophistication.”
