Catherine's Room
Designer Showhouse of New Jersey
RESIDENTIAL
"I hope to evoke curiosity in a child… to offer the groundwork to support a development of their thirst for literature and knowledge. I wanted this little princess to feel like she is in an English rose garden, and there are roses everywhere on the walls...on the bedding on the rug."

t reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, which was one of my favorite childhood stories. So, when I was designing the rug, I made the roses gigantic and used deeper colors to ground the room. With a feminine color palette of lavender, green and pink, our petite occupant is bound to feel like royalty.

nspired by the décor of a Swedish Baroness… The centerpiece of this room, as seen at the Designer Showhouse of New Jersey, benefiting Hackensack University Medical Center, is the “Princess Bed” from my signature ZoyaB. Collection. I put a great deal of thought into the details of every space I design, as I feel it’s through the smaller touches and details that the room truly comes to life. Starting from the rug all the way up to the lighting, this room is meant to emphasize the timeless ambiance that forms when a modern twist on old world charm is united for even the most contemporary of princesses.
I
very Little Girl’s Dream... one thing that I always try and keep in mind when designing a child’s room is the educational value of the pieces I choose. For this room I went with a series of needlepoint canvases. Each one is a work of art, and depicts a fairy tale that every little girl knows and loves; including: Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, The Wizard of OZ and The Nutcracker. I felt as though including this Crystal Petal Chandelier with hand-painted ceiling mural design would add height to the room.
