Mountain Fusion
INTERIORS
Holly Hollingsworth Phillips , residential interior designer and co-owner of The English Room , was embedded in all facets of the interior design of the project . Phillips wanted to bring to life a comfortable , family-friendly home . Having worked with the family previously on their Charlotte-based home , Holly knew exactly how to blend elements for the casual , athletic family who needed a retreat from their busy working lives .
Maybe it ’ s the mountain air , but the house emanates ease . Wall space is somewhat minimal , so making strong statements when possible was crucial . The entry features two commissioned ink paintings by artist Windy O ’ Connor ( Hidell Brooks Gallery ). These pieces set the stage for the interior design of the home by introducing bold colors that are otherwise used sparingly throughout the residence .
