Mediterranean Masterpiece
Studio Room and Laundry Room

Valerie Borden of Chimera Interior Design envisioned this studio as an artistic space, with the room’s staple being a work table. “This is where everything begins and ends,” Borden says. “Creativity can be elusive. It is important to avoid visual distractions, while at the same time fashioning a room where one would be enveloped with inspiration.” The designer’s simplistic décor includes pieces that are usable and inviting. A leather chair highlights the room’s depth, while sheer draperies open the studio’s view to the outside. Monochromatic accessories assist in balancing the space.
