dorchester primary suite

After renovating the rest of her home, the client at Dorchester was ready to make her primary suite a functional, beautiful retreat.

The bedroom includes a custom platform bed with upholstered headboard and luxe bedding. The headboard was designed to fit elegantly simple nightstands, each with an alabaster light resting atop. In accent pillows, olive green joins the overall warm neutral palette. A nearby chaise lounge is the perfect relaxation spot for morning coffee. A Samsung Frame tv lives above the redesigned fireplace, which sports geometric tile with a refined mantle, reveal detailing and a custom screen. On the wall, a framed Hermès scarf adds a splash of color.

For a closet to house her refined fashion collection, the client sought a well-lit, organized and pretty space to enjoy getting dressed in. Every available space was utilized to maximize the square footage. A jewelry organizer fits into a recessed area with custom drawer inserts and refined stone countertop.

In the bath, a mix of white and cream marble paired with white porcelain tile reflects the client’s neutral wardrobe. White oak and unlacquered brass accents feel organic. At the custom vanity, a swivel stool in blue provides a pop of color, and the thick countertop makes a statement. Ample storage is at the ready, everything has a home.
