Tucked away in the cozy corners of Westchester, Ariel Okin’s latest creation is a perfect marriage of classic charm and contemporary zest. Imagine walking into a space where every corner and crevice tells a tale of elegance, woven together with luxurious textures, timeless treasures and a sprinkle of design magic. It’s like stepping into a storybook of sophisticated taste.
An Unplanned Love Affair with Winchester
Moving to Westchester wasn’t originally in Okin’s plans. Yet, after a temporary stay at her in-laws’ place during the pandemic, she and her family fell in love with the area. And just like that, Okin transformed a dark outdated rental house into the family home of her dreams, bringing her fresh, cheerful take on classic designs and mixing classic textile patterns, soft colors and natural textures.
The Family Room: A Nod to English Elegance
In the family room, Okin draws inspiration from the timeless charm of English country homes, effortlessly combining classic elegance with a touch of relaxed informality, creating a space that exudes comfort and style.
Prints and Patterns at Play
Okin’s home is a canvas of pattern and color, bringing each room to life with vibrant energy, intricate prints and eclectic elegance.
Patio Paradise: An Outdoor Haven
The patio stands as a picturesque retreat where the outdoors meet the comforts of home. With a thoughtful blend of design elements, Okin transforms the space into a breathtaking outdoor haven.
Dining in Delight: A Room of Patterns and Textures
In the dining room, Okin created a beautiful combination of color, texture and antique charm. Balanced by a clever play of patterns, a graphic rug underfoot mimics the timeless allure of painted floors, further adding depth and visual interest.
Breakfast Nook: Cozy Mornings Illuminated
Bathed in soft hues and natural light, the breakfast nook radiates a welcoming warmth. This charming corner is a space where cozy mornings and delightful conversations seamlessly come together, capturing the essence of comfort and casual elegance and making every meal a cherished experience.
Daughters’ Rooms: A Space Filled with Wonder and Joy
Okin’s daughters’ rooms are a celebration of childhood joy expressed through a palette of soft hues and playful patterns. Pastel pinks, serene blues and gentle greens inspire a sense of wonder.
The Armoire-Bar: A Twist on Entertainment
The armoire-bar combo is a testament to the art of entertaining. The armoire itself is a conversation piece that seamlessly marries style and functionality. And with a simple swing of the doors, the living room transforms into a chic gathering space.
