Room of the Week: A breakfast held Smart New Angle - Seeking more room to raise their young daughter, a professional couple left New York for the "Gold Coast "of long Island, where they bought a neoclassical two-storey house. They then spent two years to update the house, eventually turning their attention to a guest room upstairs to visit family and friends.
The rectangular room was quite spacious, but simple, with angled walls and ceiling in a corner which poses a major challenge for the couple. Working with designer Lisa Hershman, they came up with a plan that covered the walls and ceiling angle, while incorporating couple pieces of furniture already. The new room is now a welcoming and calming space of the hotel-like where lucky guests can rest and relax.
