Hyde Park Master Suite Makeover: Historic Charm with Modern Luxe

This master suite remodel isn't your average renovation. It's a symphony of old and new, where classic details meet modern functionality in a truly showstopping way. Buckle up, design lovers, because we're about to take a deep dive into this luxurious retreat.

Step Back in Time, Walk into Luxury

The journey begins in the vestibule, where the original trim and crown molding are celebrated. Wallpaper by Farrow & Ball graces both the ceiling and walls, creating a sense of continuity while echoing the historic charm. The original door stands proudly, a testament to the home's past.

The Bathroom: A Spaworthy Escape

Forget everything you knew about the original bathroom. This space underwent a complete metamorphosis. Walls were ripped out, plumbing rerouted, and the doorway relocated – all to create a spa-like haven. A double vanity, a major upgrade from the single version, now reigns supreme. The shower is a showstopper with three water features (rainfall, showerhead, and handheld) in a decorative brass motif that's echoed throughout the bathroom. Man-made Italian porcelain mimicking Calcutta gold marble creates a luxurious backdrop, while the herringbone pattern adds a touch of playfulness. Storage is key, with recessed medicine cabinets and a freestanding vanity with ample drawers. Restoration Hardware fixtures and accessories complete the picture, and the walls and moldings, adorned with decorative trims and painted in Farrow & Ball's signature hues, tie it all together.

Her Dream Closet: A Fashionista's Paradise

Once a boring bedroom, this space has been transformed into a fashion icon's dream closet. Picture a custom-built California Closets system designed to house the most exquisite designer pieces. Built-in lighting illuminates the collection, while an island offers additional storage for accessories. A vintage chandelier from the house adds a touch of history, and the fun carpet injects a dose of personality. Stepping out of the closet, we enter a "slay station" complete with a Hollywood-style mirror, white glass vanity, and sleek storage by California Closets. A director's chair completes the picture, a perfect spot to admire the masterpiece in the mirror.

His Domain: Classic Refinement

For him, a touch of history intertwines with modern functionality in his closet. Original built-in cabinets received a loving restoration, with refinished wood and gleaming hardware. Textured herringbone wallpaper adds a touch of textural intrigue, while the original marble vanity and painted cabinets stand the test of time.

The Bedroom: Creamy Dreamy

The bedroom is a masterclass in sophisticated comfort. Two distinct wallpapers add visual interest, while a custom-made French chandelier and matching ceiling medallion elevate the space. Custom built-in cabinets add a furniture-like feel, and the reupholstered vintage chairs whisper stories of the past. Custom drapes frame the windows, and a luxurious wool herringbone carpet completes the picture. The color palette throughout the entire suite is a symphony of creamy tones, layered with different textures to create a cohesive yet visually interesting look.
