Lighting the way through this five-bedroom, 6,886 square foot River Oaks swankienda are chandeliers, sconces and fixtures from Circa Lighting, while the hot Texas sun has been blocked by innovative window coverings from The Shade Store.
If you've been dreaming of building a media room, redoing your kitchen, or creating a gaming environment for active teens, the ASID TXGC River Oaks Show House points the way to an interior designer who can make those dreams come true. And for the latter, don't overlook original art (hello Mario Bros. and Pac-Man) by Cristina Robinson of I Design.
For the master bedroom shown above, Teena Caldwell of Twenty Two Fifty Interiors blends 17th century French antiques with modern elements and diamond plaster walls to create a luxuriously sophisticated retreat. In the vestibule leading to the bedroom, Caldwell pairs an illuminated onyx table with agate lamps and gold accents.
Imagining homeowner clients that are jewelry designers, Linda Eyles of Linda Eyles Design positions artist Paul Fleming's faceted gems on the left wall, commissioned Segreto Finishes to paint a faux marble finish on the dining room table, and anchors the space with ceiling paper from Area Environments and a linear Bonnington chandelier from Circa Lighting.
Stepping outside her usual design box, Roxanne Wimmel of Wimmel Design Construction embraced the challenge for this backyard veranda with draped privacy for when it's needed, a fun and funky swinging chair, and a calming palette that blends natural materials like teak, raffia and stone.
