Interior designers Martin Bell and Jane Synnestvedt, right, of Jane Synnestvedt Interior Design in Birmingham, designed this gathering space for entertaining and family time. “We kept in mind that children and adults use the space,” Synnestvedt says of the family room in this Birmingham home, explaining why the designers selected materials that are child- and pet-friendly. “We went with Crypton fabrics (based in Bloomfield Hills) for the sofas and the swivel barrel chairs (only one is shown); they’re both beautiful and functional,” Synnestvedt says. As for the colors the designers chose, it was all about cozy hues that welcome throughout the year — and especially in the fall and winter. “The calming color palette (of browns, tans, grays, and blacks) flows throughout the home,” Synnestvedt says. Warm lighting, a metal-and-wood material mix, and nature-inspired art evoke comfort. The furniture and its placement also creates a warm, welcoming feel: “The swivel chairs can be directed toward the conversation area or the TV (not shown),” Synnestvedt explains.
