Contemporary Interior Design For A 1980s Home

 

Interior Designer Notes On This Chelmsford, MA Design Project

The design direction for this sprawling brick ranch called for updating the 1980's interior to a bright, contemporary home for a young family. This project called for a complete property transformation with new paint, furniture, draperies, lighting, and accessories. The only pre-existing furniture used was the leather sofa.
