CHANEL-INSPIRED JEWEL BOX

Today, I’m so excited to finally share an in-depth look at a very special closet!

Recently, we were tasked to create a dream closet by making over a kids’ playroom, with the source of inspiration being a simple Chanel makeup compact! This was an exciting challenge that presented so many opportunities for interpretation. My goal was to translate the timelessness and sophistication of this compact into a decadent dressing room where my client could relax, get ready, and host her girlfriends in a playful space!

INSPIRATION

NUDE + BLACK CHANEL CLASSIC COMPACT

We opted for a lacquered finish, matching the soft feminine hue from the Chanel design, and carried a thin black edge detail throughout the room, adding just the subtle nod to the boutique inspiration the space needed!

The client wanted this space to function as a jewel box for all of her most fabulous pieces! As such, we incorporated ample lighting, glass doors to protect against dust while showcasing her swoon worthy collection, and biometric locks for jewelry and other valuables.

Another priority was the ability to entertain in the space — we incorporated a wall-mounted TV against a mirrored accent wall, along with an under-counter wine fridge (stocked with champagne, of course)!

Finally, in order for the space to really function for her as a dressing space / glam room, we decided to incorporate a custom vanity with integrated lighting, along with a wall-mounted staging area to plan her looks and merchandise her favorite pieces!
