Sitting quietly on a prestigious residential street in Glen Ridge, NJ is a large traditional colonial home that exemplifies luxury. Inspired by its surrounding neighborhood, Carol Swift of Swift-Morris Interiors has obtained an understanding of aesthetic and functionality when designing this home. The home features a mix of stunning hues and vibrant fabrics, providing a delicate balance against the bold colors, and pulling the entire design together. With a keen eye for design, Swift creates rooms that weave in her clients' personal sense of style through a strong color story. "Over the years, the spaces we live in have increasingly demanded a more thoughtful form of planning", says Swift. Firmly believing that furnishings and other details should follow function, Swift has created floor plans that are conducive to long nights of entertaining guests. As the hub of all social gatherings, the dining and living rooms have comfortable walking spaces and optimal seating. Orange throw blankets are meticulously laid out to add a pop of color. Although the room's scale is grand, the beautiful fireplace creates a warm touch. Swift believes that good taste and design are necessary components to a well-lived life.
