New Classic Style
Warm, tasteful and elegant, traditional interiors get a fresh interpretation from designer Kari Mugavero Written by Eliza Cross Photography by Povy Kendall Atchison Like a black cashmere sweater or a strand of perfectly-matched pearls, the traditional style of interior design withstands transient trends and passing fads. The simple lines and historic origins of the style create enduring environments that invite gracious living, with harmonious colors and furnishings that are both refined and comfortable. Unlike rooms that are decorated with the cutting-edge accoutrements du jour (sculpted carpet and avocado green appliances come to mind) interiors designed with quality materials and well-crafted furniture don’t have to be redone every few years. Denver interior designer Kari Mugavero has made a career of helping her clients create homes that are traditional and timeless, yet original and highly personal. |

home theatre is furnished with ultra-comfortable seating and a large
screen for watching television and movies. Lights on dimmer switches
provide multiple illumination options, with matching sconces and table
lamps plus overhead recessed lights and subtle lighting concealed within
the coffered ceiling. The walls are painted a dramatic red, and the
framed poster features theatrical and musical photos and ephemera. |
