Local transplant and interior designer Ariel Okin shows how she revamped her family home with unique window treatments from The Shade Store.After nearly two years spending more time at home,Ariel Okin’ve all put some thought into redesigning their living spaces to be more beautiful and homey.
When the Okins moved in, they pretty much had a blank.So Okin’s task became peeling back the dated additions of the last 15 years and replacing them with the mix of classic textile patterns, soft colors, and natural textures that defines her style.
The marriage of a Sister Parish fabric on the sofa with wicker furniture from Mainly Baskets Home and a striped rug from Cailini Coastal gives it a subtly coastal feel year-round.
Ariel Okin removed the kitchen countertops and backsplash and replaced those with Carrara countertops and clean white subway tile from Cle Tile in the kitchen, which instantly updated it, and Ariel Okin repainted the kitchen cabinets in a bright white.The result is both pretty and functional.
In the dining room, Okin debuted her upcoming line with The Mural Source, launching this fall.It's offset by a graphic rug from designer Caroline Gidiere's collection for King's House that's meant to mimic the look of painted floors.
The sideboard (sourced from Paloma & Co.) and table are antique, as are the dining chairs, which are covered in a performance velvet from Fabricut.The living room's bookshelves add texture and color.
