Nestled in the picturesque town of Bedford, New York, Jennifer Hunter Design was tasked with designing a country home that blends family-friendly functionality with timeless, traditional style. The 4,100-square-foot home (plus a small stable) serves as a serene country retreat for a young family seeking an escape from the fast pace of city life. The vision came to life through the thoughtful layering of classic furnishings, playful patterns, and pops of color. Natural textures, such as warm woods, washed linens, and woven accents anchor the spaces, adding richness, classic country style, and a sense of ease throughout.

The result is a home that feels elevated yet welcoming, perfectly suited for laid-back weekends, family gatherings, and memory-making for years to come. Let’s take a peek inside with photography by Kirsten Francis and styling by Frances Bailey.

“My team and I worked closely with the client to bring to life a charming, family-friendly retreat that captures the warmth and ease of country living,” said Jennifer. “Infused with pops of color, artful wallpaper, and richly layered textures and patterns, the home strikes a balance between timeless tradition and effortless livability. While the overall aesthetic leans elevated and classic, every detail was thoughtfully chosen to feel approachable, not too precious, always inviting, and perfectly suited for relaxed family life in the country.”
