Loft, Hallway, & Upper Laundry Room Janice Dietz, The Consulting House

Located along a passageway, an upstairs loft-like space was transformed by Janice Dietz into a quiet retreat suitable for relaxing, reading, working, or gathering. “I considered the other rooms in the house to determine how to give this space function.” Grounding the space with an antique rug, the designer amplified its warm tones with metal details, such as swing-arm wall lights, and wood finishes, including shutters and custom shelving made of brass and reclaimed wood. A contemporary-style upholstered chaise is joined by a nearby library-table desk, another piece that was designed by Dietz. The hallway also has a warm feel, owing to a gallery-style assemblage of artwork specifically commissioned for the space. Dietz treated the laundry room with a similar eye for detail, particularly in a collage of framed artwork that was drawn by the designer’s husband using his iPhone. “It was nice to be able to incorporate a whimsical element to the space.”
