The Denver Life Magazine Designer Showhouse project began in 2013, and has raised more than $450,000 for its charitable partners. The annual Designer Showhouse continues to stay local and 100 percent of the proceeds went directly to charitable partners.
Tennille Wood of Beautiful Habitat Interior Design was selected to design a Jr. Suite, including the bedroom and en suite bathroom, for a 10 year old girl.
The Beautiful Habitat team was inspired by the funky shape of this room with the angled wall and floor to ceiling corner windows. It’s a unique room and also a generously sized room for a secondary suite.
The overall vision was to design a kid’s room that can age well with the kid; in this case a 10 year old girl who loves dance, fashion and drawing. The design plan works with the architecture of the room. In this case, the large room required more furniture. We designed 2 twin beds instead of a single bed. We also custom designed a small sofa to sit in the nook created by the angled wall.
Design Tip: Having a space to sit, other than the bed, makes a bedroom much more comfortable and inviting. This small sofa is the perfect size for this angled niche and creates a place to hang out and lounge, other than the bed. The green piping trim adds a custom detail and pulls this into our overall color scheme.
The two twin headboards can be joined for a king size bed as she gets older or for a future guest suite. The pattern is fun and youthful. But if you take away the purple wall color and stripes, the headboard can take on a more mature vibe.
We have a unique way in which we blend colors and patterns in every room we design. The result is bold, yet balanced. In this room, we added the primary pattern to the headboards, paired with painted stripes on the walls and pattern through the pillows and accessories.
The room features on en suite bathroom. The Beautiful Habitat design plan continued the color scheme from the bedroom, but softened the color for the smaller space.
Design tip: pink undertones in paint are flattering to the skin and great for bathrooms, and zoom backdrops.
Nestled in the heart of Bonnie Brae, a charming denver neighborhood, this truly one of a kind residence graces Bonnie Brae Boulevard near the neighborhood’s center piece, Bonnie Brae Circle Park. This impeccably crafted home has earned the prestigious honor of being the 2024 Denver Life Magazine Designer Showhouse. Every space in this home was thoughtfully and meticulously designed, featuring a blend of natural wood, warm, timeless elements and striking accents such as black and gold fixtures and bold tile selections. The unique lot position offers a refreshing orientation for both the home and its floorplan, making it standout in this historic enclave of charming, curving streets designed in 1920 by landscape architect and city planner Saco DeBoer.
While the neighborhood is distinctive for its Tudor style homes with high-pitched roofs, there’s an eclectic mix of Spanish, Bauhaus, Postmodern, International design and even Mid-Century modern. The Showhouse blends well with the neighborhood’s historic architecture while seamlessly integrating contemporary style.
It is such an honor to be a part of this amazing home and project. I am thrilled to contribute to this project to raise money for the Morgan Adams Foundation which funds kids’ cancer research. They raise awareness of, and educate the community about, the need for pediatric and young adult specific cancer treatments.
