Project details

This project began with a blank slate: a basic bonus room, neutral and unembellished, offering a flexible foundation for transformation. The space featured clean lines, plain white walls, a modest window, and a simple tile floor, making it an ideal canvas for a creative design project. Initially marketed as an "Optional Bedroom," this room held immense potential for a reimagined purpose.

My design vision turned this utilitarian space into a sophisticated whiskey lounge with a speakeasy-inspired aesthetic

Results

This room effortlessly blends vintage sophistication with cozy, speakeasy-inspired charm. The deep teal walls create a moody and intimate backdrop, setting the tone for a luxurious whiskey lounge. A closer look reveals that the walls have a subtle crocodile pattern in contrasting sheen.

Timeless leather armchairs provides both comfort and vintage appeal, while the fireplace serves as a warm, inviting focal point, enhancing the room's cozy atmosphere.

Above the mantle, a striking black-and-white photograph taken on the day Prohibition ended, reinforcing the speakeasy aesthetic. Thoughtfully styled shelving, adorned with books and classic accessories, adds a sense of refinement and connection to the theme.

The mix of materials, including smooth leather, warm wood tones, and textured throws, creates a harmonious balance of comfort and sophistication.

Soft, ambient lighting from the lamp and fireplace completes the space, highlighting its warm tones and enhancing the intimate ambiance. This whiskey lounge is a perfect retreat that combines the elegance of the past with modern comfort and style.
