Designer Emily Mackie infused this couple's love of travel into their Chicago home
The stunning 7,000+ sqft home was transformed to reflect the owner's shared experiences.
Published on 03 February, 2023 by Ash ReadA well-traveled couple decided to move back home to Chicago and create a home that reflected their lives together. The space was designed to mirror the dynamic duo’s large personalities, while allowing them to entertain various friends and family.
The 7,000+ sq Ravenswood home was transformed to become a cultured, collaborative and curated residence with each room evoking experiences the couple shared together.
We mixed muted tones with bold pops of color to highlight their most prized possessions.
“It was important to them that their homelife contained inspirations in every room as a reminder of all they have done, all they have seen and all they have yet to,” says designer Emily Mackie. “In order to marry their love of mid-century modern family heirlooms, influences from the wife’s Asian heritage, and a selection of pieces hand selected from the design team’s trip to Paris, we mixed muted tones with bold pops of color to highlight their most prized possessions.”
This home truly unifies the couple’s diverse styles, interests and experiences to create a unique abode full of memories and inspiration for the future.
