A Dreamy Home In Dallas
Studio Ten 25

There are some interiors that push the envelope. Some that go beyond the typical homes you see while idly spending time on Pinterest. And this home by interior designer Abbe Fenimore of Studio Ten 25, definitely pushes the envelope in some truly exciting ways. Fenimore, who is based in Dallas, is recognized as one of the city's top designers. So, it is no surprise that she is the designer behind this Dallas dream home where color, pattern, and a sophisticated mix of the two truly shines.

    Statement Wallpaper

    No stone was left unturned in the design of this two-bedroom home. Stepping into each room, you can see that Fenimore thought about each and every detail that would contribute to her bold vision for the interior. In the home's guest bedroom, Kelly Wearstler's Channels Wallpaper makes quite an impression. The backdrop creates a striking statement wall, where Wearstler's edgy brush strokes are featured.

    Cozy Reading Nook

    Studio Ten 25

    To keep things cozy in the guest bedroom, a reading nook was designed. For seating, Fenimore went with custom upholstery. An oversized foliage print is extremely modern and the shade of emerald green is a nice contrast to the cream and white design on the walls. The addition of a gold side table becomes the perfect moment of warmth, echoing the metallic frame of the room's canopy bed.

    Keeping It Local

    Living in Dallas, a city with a well-known design scene, Fenimore was able to work with local designers. The bed is from Scout Design Studio Dallas, and bedding is from Peacock Alley, which also has a home in Dallas. A shop-owner herself, some of the pieces in the interior are from Abbe's online boutique, Shop Ten 25, that offers a range of decorative elements including furniture, lighting, and pillows.

    Mixing Patterns

    Studio Ten 25

    There are those moments where a designer takes some risks and here it really pays off. The mix of pattern in an interior can be complicated, but Fenimore embraced it. In this bedroom, the bookshelf has been wallpapered in a spotted print. And while it's directly across from the Channels Wallpaper that offers a strikingly different design, here it all works together harmoniously.

    Bringing the Drama

    A Dreamy Home In Dallas
    Studio Ten 25

    Every room in this Dallas home is stunning, but in the primary bedroom, things get absolutely dreamy. Fenimore went bold in every way, adding drama to the ceiling with Orangerie wallpaper from Designers Guild. The bed is solid hardwood, hand-painted in a deep black. For contrast, jewel tone accents really shine in this primary.   

    About This Term: Primary Bedroom

    Many real estate associations, including the National Association of Home Builders, have classified the term "Master Bedroom" as discriminatory. "Primary Bedroom" is the name now widely used among the real estate community and better reflects the purpose of the room.
