BEDROOMS, BY DEFINITION AND DESIGN, ARE meant to be serene spaces clad in calming colors that wrap the occupants in a warm embrace.
Although these comforting cocoons offer a rare retreat from the frenetic energy of the outside world, they are not meant to be bland and boring.
That's why when Swampscott-based interior designer Bari Lieberman, the visionary behind Bari Michelle Design, designed the primary suite for her own home, she used a visually stimulating yet subtle combination of color, texture, and pattern to set up a sublime sanctuary that strikes a bold note.
The design is a delicate balancing act between past and present because Lieberman lives in Knollcrest, a 1906 historic shingle-style estate facing the waterfront in Swampscott.
"It's one of two large neighboring houses built during the time this area was the Gold Coast for Bostonians seeking summer retreat," she says. "I fell in love with its sprawling grounds, ocean views, and rich history. I envisioned a year-round retreat that my family would love for generations."
