Carey Karlan of Last Detail Interior Design Honored in Recent Competition

An announcement from the organizers of the A-List Awards:

Darien’s Carey Karlan of Last Detail Interior Design has been named a finalist in Moffly Media’s 2014 A-List Awards for the fourth time in the ceremony’s five years.

Perpetual nominee Karlan was nominated in the Kids’ Bedroom category this year, having won in the past in the Dining Room and Kids’ Bedroom categories. The submission transformed a spacious bedroom suite into a dreamy escape for a teen girl.

Judge Gary Brewer, a partner of the New York-based Robert A.M. Stern Architects, lauded the design’s “sophisticated palette” and the combination of texture and pattern.

In the separate sitting room, Karlan started with a glam silver-and-sea glass wallpaper with a large pattern. Luscious fabrics like chenille and furs lend a sense of feminine luxury, and the large velvet headboard and cushy pillows are as beautiful as they are inviting.

“To be recognized again by the judging committee is a great honor,” said Karlan. “Here in Fairfield County we’re surrounded by some of the best designers in the world, and I’m pleased to have my work competing alongside theirs.”

The A-List Awards, in their fifth year, celebrate the top achievements in home design Fairfield County. More than 600 people attended the gala event, held at the Palace Theater in Stamford, including the evening’s host, designer and former judge Eric Cohler, and judges including such design luminaries as Alexa Hampton, Celerie Kemble, Mario Nievera and Keith Williams. Following an elegant cocktail reception, the awards presentation honored the best in the area’s design in 16 categories, including Entryways, Living Spaces, Kitchen Design, Renovation, Modern Architecture, Traditional Architecture, and Landscape.
