Think Chic Interiors Transforms This 100-Year-Old New Rochelle Colonial

The owners wanted to renovate and modernize while respecting the character and original features of the house. Malka Helft of Think Chic Interiors designed the serene master bedroom with warm tones and fabrics to give the busy parents a haven for relaxing. The upholstered bed is a customized version of the Charlene bed from the Kristin Drohan Collection. “She makes beautiful things,” Helft says of Drohan. “The craftsmanship is unbelievable” — an important consideration in this home, where the couple was willing to splurge but only on pieces and finishes that would really last.

Built-in window seats are furnished with velvet cushions and metallic-tone throw pillows that complement the room’s soothing blue-gray walls.
