Janet Brooks Design: “The Bungalow”
Best Comfortable Design, Best Living Area, Best Space Utilization and Best Two-Person Room
When it came time to craft this colorful two-person space, Janet Brooks of Scottsdale’s Janet Brooks Design put herself in the shoes of the young women who reside at the Phoenix Dream Center. “We imagined that this girl needed peace and comfort far more than glitz and glamour, and we strove to create a homelike experience,” she says. Though the femme custom-made sofa from European Custom Upholstery (the firm also donated the fabric) and quilt-topped custom storage beds by F1 Cabinets are sure to make the girls feel comfy-cozy, it is the surprising kitchenette tile backsplash that is Brooks’ favorite design element in the room. “In a way, it represents the experience of the girls who will occupy the rooms,” Brooks says. “It is put together from leftover pieces of tiles from a local tile manufacturer [Tabarka Studio]. None of them were meant to go together to form a
pattern, but together all of the odds and ends make a beautiful and interesting presentation.” www.janetbrooksdesign.com.
