Traditional Warmth Meets Modern Functionality in this Home Office and Primary Suite

Project Scope: Primary Bedroom Suite Remodel And Home Office

Design Details: Custom built-in cabinetry and millwork throughout includes personalized desks and shelving in the home office, and a built-in dresser, an entertainment center and closets in the primary suite.

The Back Story:  Over six years, the Ulrich team transformed nearly every room in this Wyckoff home from builder-grade to custom-crafted timeless sophistication—earning praise as the “most warm and inviting home” on the 2013 Women’s Club House Tour.  Here we share some of the rooms we worked on outside of the kitchen.
