W
hen it comes to a family
home, practicality and
functionality typically
override luxury aesthetic.
But throughout this 4,500-square-foot home
in Chatham, New Jersey, interior designer
Cory Connor, founder of Cory Connor
Designs, found a way to create an elegant
space full of detail, without compromising
comfort. Mixing both masculine and earthy
designs with functional pieces make the
home not only beautiful, but also a place fit
for a growing family.
Connor's aesthetic usually involves
clean, streamlined looks; depending on
the client, design could be anything from
a bit modern to a little industrial, while
utilizing neutral hues as a base and adding
pops of color throughout the rooms. The
owners of this Chatham home prefered
a more masculine design, with heavier
and darker tones, as well as an inclusion
of earthy and natural elements. This is
evident throughout the home, beginning
in the dining room, where walls are a bold
blue, while the rest of the room is toned
down with tan window treatments and
newly upholstered chairs in a bright white
fabric. The two head chairs around the
table are dressed in a calf hair fabric, with
a matching rug lining the floor under the
rich wood table.
