Interior designer Louise Hane believes in creating highly personalized spaces, rich in art, color and furnishings that reflect her clients’ distinct backgrounds and stories.
In this Highlands home, the Rock Hill, South Carolina, designer created a two-room sanctuary tailored around the homeowners’ existing artwork. The homeowners frequently host family and friends attending local music and art festivals. A bedroom and adjacent office, which share a connecting bathroom, provide a quiet space for their visitors to relax or catch up on work.
The focal point in the office is a framed antique quilt, gifted by the home’s previous owner. Pulling from the quilt’s rich colors and intricate design, Hane incorporated hues of sienna red, indigo blue and citrus orange in the rug and fabric for the roman shades and a pair of upholstered armchairs.
The bedroom is primarily used by the homeowner’s adult son, a wildlife photographer based in Charlotte. Schumacher’s Bora Bora print, used for the window treatments and bedding, was the basis for the design. The linen fabric is inspired by Polynesian tapa, or bark cloth. Framed photographs were taken by the son; Hane pulled in furnishings and accessories in earth tones and natural textures to complete the design.
“This was a dream project for me since [the homeowner] and I have the same deep love of art, color and texture,” Hane says. SP
