## Family Needs Cozy Space
Claire Lonegan redesigned her 1930s New Jersey attic bedroom to welcome her son and daughter-in-law who travel monthly from Virginia.

> I always want to create places where people can sit and stay awhile
## Designer Kelli Suozzo
Kelli Suozzo of BOWERBIRD designed the space to evoke a charming London townhouse feel with natural materials.

> We wanted to evoke a charming space. Like a big hug you’re coming home to and want to stay there.
## Bathroom Transformation
Suozzo replaced the tub with a roomy shower using oxblood zellige slabs from Tiles of Ezra and clay-tinged tiles from Marble Systems.

> I love the soulfulness that comes with using a natural material.
## Dark Palette for Coziness
Suozzo used a darker, moodier palette to create a cozy sleeping area with golden floral wallpaper and blue trim.

> We intentionally chose to stick with a darker, moodier palette.
## Papier Wallpaper Installation
Papier wallpaper with a blue trim covers the room’s walls, matching the ceiling intersections and providing a restful eye experience.

> In any home, especially an older home, the walls aren’t always straight.
## Five-Star Amenities
The suite includes a custom velvet headboard, Harbinger sconces, a full-length mirror, and a walk-in closet with storage.

> We’re four adults in a home. I want there to be [areas] where we can be together.
## Family Enjoyment
The family enjoys cocktails, dinners, and talks together in the suite after returning from Virginia.

> We make cocktails and sit down to a family dinner.
## Key takeaway

Claire Lonegan redesigned her New Jersey attic bedroom into a cozy hotel suite for her family to enjoy.
