The owner's preferred mode of transportation, a prized and valuble bicycle, is stored neatly behind a folding screen near the entry for ease of access and security. The large bike rack provides storage for all the necessities of "2 wheel" travel.

The half wall we built for the master suite divides sleeping quarters from the study; it is upholstered on one side, to serve as a headboard for the platform bed.

This elegant bedroom uses many different elements as well as layering to create a tranquil and unified space. The inspiration was the grey embroidered bedding. The custom hand-painted screens provide a beautiful backdrop for the bed and night tables. Photo by Angie Seckinger Photography

The homeowners selected Minneapolis Interior Designer Brandi Hagen to make their interior home design more hip. Originally built in the 1970s, a contemporary retro theme complemented this newly remodeled home. beautiful, yet practical, the interior design holds up to heavy use among four active boys. The ultra-suede sofa is durable enough to withstand routine scrubbings. Commercial – grade carpets bound into area rugs accommodate high foot and Hot Wheels traffic. Brandi retained neutral tones in the home’s fixtures, with grey walls, warm woods and mellow upholsteries. Colorful accents, including rugs, artwork and pillows to jazz up the space white providing far-out focal points. A red birch wall provides separation between the more formal and casual spaces but creatively disguises storage that is found with the touch of a finger.
