Deerfield Home
The Clients
With three active daughters and a bustling household, a young couple decided it was time to move on from their starter home—and found the perfect Deerfield property on which to build a dream abode. Their next step? Seeking out Maggie Winshall of Highland Park-based MW Interiors to bring their vision to life.
The Project
Understanding that the client’s vision for functionality and a chic ambiance was key, Winshall prioritized a personalized approach. From selecting colors and textures to designing spaces for entertaining, work, fitness and play, her goal was to create a home that authentically reflected their style, lifestyle and preferences.
“They wanted a strong and bold palette, straight lines, yet appreciated the idea of imbalance which could manifest the idea of asymmetrical elements in the architecture and decor. This added an element of creativity and unpredictability to the space. It was important for them to have a space that is out of the box and to have unexpected moments.”

The Challenge
“Building from the ground up will always have unexpected challenges. Most of this project was during the pandemic, which caused delays due to the supply chain. Another challenge was the unpredictable climate we live in. The build did get delayed; however, by managing expectations and clear communication, we were able to find solutions for all the challenges that arose.”

The Details
The custom color scheme for this stunning home was instrumental in reflecting the vibrant personalities of the client’s family.
“The main level is mainly black and white, with hues of gray and a pop of vibrant blues. We wanted a dark, moody kitchen that would contrast with the crisp white walls and a two-story wall with floor-to-ceiling windows to bring in the natural light and elements. The second level is more playful. Each child’s bedroom and en suite bathroom has its own color scheme according to the girl’s personality and preferences. We custom-designed the wallpaper on each of their bedroom ceilings and meticulously chose the fabric, millwork, colors and bathroom tiles to coordinate with the ceiling.”
