I have always admired the work of designer Ashley Whittaker, and this stunning Darien, Connecticut home is no exception. The Greek Revival–style home serves as a weekend getaway for her clients, and the enchanting botanical wallpaper by de Gournay sets the tone. One thing I particularly love about Whittaker’s homes is the way she designs each room with the entire house in mind to ensure a pleasing flow from room to room. “As I design a room, I’m always considering the space next door,” Whittaker said in an interview with House Beautiful. “What are the contrasts, what’s the continuity, what do I want to see more of?” Photography by Read McKendree for the March 2018 issue of House Beautiful.
