This bedroom belongs to a city dweller in his 30’s.  His bold retro-modern style is reflected in glossy modern and art deco inspired elements chosen carefully for his bedroom.  His interests include art and design, alternative music and English football.

This man enjoys dressing in cutting edge designer clothes with a vintage feel.  His favorite attire is his Dolce & Gabbana sharkskin suit with a contrasting shawl color and sleek pencil pants, which he wears with a crisp white monogrammed shirt, his favorite vintage cuff links and a colorful silk necktie.  On cold evenings he opts for a cashmere scarf rather than an overcoat.  He chooses polished black crocodile oxfords to complete the look.  His bedroom has been dressed to reflect the way he looks and feels in his sharkskin suit.

Dolly Howarth, Howarth Designs LLC

Dolly Howarth established Howarth Designs in 2001 to create unexpected retro modern, transitional and contemporary interiors with sophisticated charm.  European and American design of the late 19th to mid-20th century is often referenced in her interiors, and each of her design solutions is as unique as each client.  Ms. Howarth’s experience includes training in interior and graphic design, as well as a previous career in economic research including analysis of the home textiles and women’s fashion markets.

Howarth Designs was chosen to create a wine cellar and tasting lounge in the 2005 National Symphony Orchestra’s Decorators’ Show House which was subsequently included in magazine and book publications.   To learn more about Ms. Howarth and her inspirations please visit www.howarthdesigns.com
