For almost thirty years, Richard Hallberg and Barbara Wisely have been creating sophisticated interiors with a strong emphasis on architectural design. Today’s post features four of their thoughtfully designed interiors…for me, they are a masterclass in scale, proportion, color and juxtaposition. I’m especially drawn to the room above…the four chairs invite conversation and create an intimate setting while the soaring ceilings and natural light allow the room to breathe…the warm wood armoire, textured fabrics, and golden glow underfoot make for a relaxed yet elegant environment (one that I would be very comfortable in!) Please enjoy all of these timeless sophisticated moments…
