As the first snow of the season begins to fall and flickering Christmas lights cast a glow on intimate family gatherings, we at Asha Maía Design are reminded of the joy that a well-designed home can bring during the holiday season. After all, there's no place like home for the holidays! At Asha Maía Design, we believe your home should reflect your unique style and be a space where you can truly relax and connect, especially during this festive time when it becomes a gathering place for celebration and conversation.
The perfect example of this thought process? Our Rosemont Project! In this newly designed home, we sought to infuse the space with character and charm, transforming it from a blank slate into an environment that is both timeless and inviting—perfect for the holidays and beyond. (We even made sure there were plenty of cozy spots for those out-of-town relatives to unwind after a long day of unwrapping presents and indulging in a few holiday spritzes.)
A rich color palette—think deep teals, warm clays, and hints of gold—further enhanced the home's unique character, while layers of texture and pattern created a sense of visual richness. Our signature blend of classic and contemporary design is evident throughout, with a curated mix of old and new pieces adding soul and personality.
In the parlor, we combined architectural details to create a sense of refined elegance. The millwork adds dimension and interest to the walls, while the coffered ceiling elevates the space with its strong visual impact. Panel molding provides a classic finishing touch, contributing to the room's overall sophistication. The material selection process for this parlor was a collaborative effort. We presented the homeowners with a curated selection of samples, guiding them through choices that best reflected their desired aesthetic. This included exploring patterned fabrics for the drapes and accent pillows, and considering the texture and weight of the material against the deep clay wall color. Each element was carefully considered to create a cohesive and inviting space, perfect for cozy gatherings or festive holiday relaxation—and year-round enjoyment.
Throughout the home, we layered rich textures and tones to create a space that's both inviting and dramatic. In the dining room, the walls enveloped in deep teal floral wallpaper set the stage, while the panel molding adds architectural interest and a classic touch. The result is a blend of comfort and sophistication, perfect for intimate gatherings and grand holiday feasts alike. Accessories, like the antique bar cart and the brass-lined mirror above the sideboard, were chosen to enhance the room's moody ambiance and add a touch of personality.
To enhance the architectural presence of the living room, we incorporated a flat panel molding feature wall, which adds a subtle layer of texture and sophistication. This classic detail complements the clean lines of the existing fireplace, drawing attention to the beautiful stonework and the artwork above.
Now, the fireplace serves as a natural focal point, anchoring the space and creating a sense of warmth and intimacy.
