“It’s inspired by our family and the way we live.”Īs a father of four, Mohon knew it was important to prioritize function and durability as much as beauty when designing this space and gravitated to many outdoor fabrics by Perennials to ensure that this room could hold up to any activity, from playtime to nap time, while still being elegant enough for cocktails at any given moment.Īt the same time, Mohon designed the space to be an escape, where one is instantly transported to a lounge overlooking the Champs-Élyseés or a Venetian canal. “We have gotten some great family time during COVID, and it made me think about wanting this room to be an extension of the kitchen for everyone to gather,” Marcus Mohon says.
“The Morning Lounge” by Marcus Mohon Interiors The custom sisal runner covering the stairs and floor is Retorra. The drapery and hardware are by The Shade Store. Because the room doesn’t have windows, Morgan mimics their decorative effect with two sets of draperies that offer symmetry and balance. This room surely lives up to its name with a breathtaking wallcovering by Gracie Studio and a joyful cast of characters-from hedgehogs to butterflies-keeping guests company while looking for a quiet place to work, read, or converse. “To achieve that, I created two distinct spaces: a cozy seating area with sofa, coffee table, and two lounge chairs, and near the wall, an area for writing with a desk, mirror, pair of lamps, and seating.” “My aim was to elevate this space and make it a celebrated destination that can serve as the heart of the home and have meaning, rather than merely connect one to other spaces in the house,” Morgan says. M Interiors’s Melissa Morgan saw the home’s back staircase and downstairs landing not as a place of transition but as a spot for tranquility and reflection. Arteriors pendant lighting and a curated stack of books from Caitlin Wilson also make this bar an excellent secret reading nook. Finished with a Monogram wine fridge and gorgeous glassware, this quirky-yet-sophisticated bar is sure to be a hidden gem to which party guests can steal away. Modern terrazzo countertops, brass shelving, and 18th-century terra-cotta urns make the room feel like a luxurious greenhouse, while near-priceless antiques and Regency-style mirrors elevate the space. The team’s interpretation of Mellon’s hand-painted trellis mural is shown throughout the walls, while the celestial album cover art graces the ceiling. Corbin See says the room’s main inspiration and namesake came from the phenomenal blend of Bunny Mellon’s personal home and the artwork from The Smashing Pumpkins’s 1995 album cover for Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

A stair runner by the Rug Company in a custom shade of green wool winds upstairs to the second floor, “where one discovers the colorful interlude below.” This glamorous space is also peppered with smart hints of Texas charm like the custom hide rugs by Kyle Bunting accentuated with magnolia petals, making it feel like home in the midst of all the luxury. “Bringing in its verdant hues and textures, our entry foyer becomes the heart of the home-welcoming, refreshing, and cleansing.”įrom the Rottet collection white marble fountain that greets visitors as a cleansing well for washing up to the custom magnolia forest wallpaper by Trove, Rottet’s entryway evokes a sense of calm and a new era of wellness in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Dallas’s beautiful gardens have always been a respite from daily life, and there is no time better to celebrate the virtues of nature,” Rottet says. Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio says she felt it appropriate to design the home’s entryway as a nod to Southern gardens, not only as Dallas is famous for its own, but as the great outdoors have increasingly become our safe haven.
