This Colorful Family Home Proves That Taking A Design Risk Pays Off

You can’t help but smile when you step inside this mood-boosting custom home by maximalist designer Cynthia Ferguson. See how she embraced her client’s love of bold hues and patterns with whimsical wallpaper, statement-making light fixtures and artful tile. Tour the playful study with arched French doors, the open-concept kitchen (you’ll love the stained glass backsplash and unique faucet) and the blue and pink living room. Plus, wait until you see the principal bedroom with a plush upholstered wall and enviable walk-in closet, and the other personality-packed bedrooms and bathrooms.

See more of this cheerful home in the May issue, on newsstands April 8.
