Each bedroom in the house reflects its inhabitants, from a drum set, a Nirvana poster, and an heirloom painting in one son’s dwelling to multiple guitars, a fluffy rug, and original artwork in the other’s. Gabriela and her husband’s primary suite is a neutral oasis of relaxation, with gauzy linens, graphic Schumacher Porter Teleo Circuit wallpaper, and custom bouclé drapes that she convinced Jim Davis Designs to craft despite the thick material.
“It’s typically an upholstery fabric,” Gabriela explains. “I went to Jim and said, ‘Listen, you might think I’m batshit, but I really want this bouclé for the drapes.’ And he was like, ‘No, it’s too heavy, it’s not going to lay right.’ And I said, ‘We have to try.’ So he did a test for me, and that’s what these drapes are. They add such texture and softness to the room.”
