Bria Hammel Interiors is responsible for the decorating and styling of this Colonial house nestled along the serene streets of Greenwich, Connecticut. The interiors reflect an overall timeless and traditional feel, with elements of classic east coast homes while integrating coastal details — offering an idyllic balance of formal and playful.
The homeowners are transplants from San Francisco, who brought this project to the designers with almost a blank slate. The square footage was more than they had ever lived in, so they needed new furnishings, accessories, and design. They also needed their home to be functional to meet the lifestyle needs of this family of six.
What We Love: Inside this Colonial house, the newly rejuvenated interiors scheme features a beautiful mix of coastal accents and traditional east coast influences. Light-filled living spaces are comfortable and relaxing for family living with enough space for formal entertaining. We are especially loving how each of the bedrooms is decorated with statement wallcovering to reflect each of the occupant’s personalities.

Living spaces needed to be causal for this family to enjoy, yet also hold true to the styling of this home with a few formal spaces. For the interior palette, the owners were drawn to blue and neutral hues.
Above: The formal living room is not used as frequently by the family, yet is was important that this space be tied back to the traditional east coast roots of their home. Furnishings were selected with clean lines to give a structured feel to the space while integrating playful elements to soften the space.
Above: The corner hutch was a piece the owner’s already had, integrated into the design scheme and filled with pretty white china.
Above: In the power bathroom, the wallcovering is the Floral Roll Wallpaper by Sandberg in light blue.
Above: This sun-filled family room provides a warm and inviting space for the family of six to kick back and relax. Casual fabrics were selected, paired with less structured furniture styles to create a comfortable, laid back vibe.

Above: In the kid’s bedrooms, the owners wanted the spaces to feel bright and cheerful — their own sweet escapes. Each of these spaces feature statement wallcoverings to make each of these rooms come to life. The accessories were sourced from Brooke & Lou.
