Carlie’s Project – A Healing & Inspiring Space
Milford, MA | Non-Profit, Volunteer Interior Design Project

​

Through the Room to Dream Foundation, we had the privilege of designing a special space for Carlie—a bright and talented young girl with a love for makeup and singing. Her request was simple yet meaningful: a warm, soft, and relaxing room filled with natural tones, offering comfort and positivity. However, her existing space carried difficult memories of illness, making it challenging for her to fully enjoy and embrace it.

​

As we planned the design, we originally considered relocating her room to the back of the house. However, after assessing the layout, it became clear that the front room—her original space—offered the best natural light and a sunnier, more uplifting atmosphere. Carlie also didn’t want her sisters to feel left out, so we extended our design efforts to include their rooms as well, making this an even more rewarding experience.

​

Design Highlights:

• Warm & Soothing Color Palette – Soft, natural tones to create a calming retreat.

• Thoughtful Furniture Planning – Optimized layout for both function and comfort.

• Personalized Touches – Incorporating Carlie’s love for makeup and music into the design.

• Bright & Airy Atmosphere – Maximizing natural light for a more cheerful, healing space.

• Sibling-Inclusive Design – Creating a thoughtful update for her sisters’ rooms as well.
