A Gorgeous Office Update Using Wood Veneer Wallcovering

Inspired by the breathtaking mountains of the area, Alder & Tweed chose a new Phillip Jeffries wallcovering from the Cascades Collection for their brand new office.

Since founding Alder & Tweed Design Co. more than a decade ago, siblings Reed and Heather Humphrey have built an esteemed interior design firm that specializes in creating curated luxury and “home away from home” experiences for the residential and hospitality markets. They strive for each project to have a unique vision and style. This project was pretty close to home - the Alder & Tweed's brand new office space.
 
With their team moving into a new office building in Park City, Utah, it was time for Alder & Tweed to showcase their elevated, organic style by transforming one of their own conference rooms into an inspiring space for client presentations.

"I felt like we didn’t want you typical office vibe," said principal and founder Heather Humphrey. "Offices can feel very generic with your formula roller chairs and all this very functional, generic and uninspiring furniture."

THE BEFORE: ALDER & TWEED OFFICE
The bi-level office building was designed by the firm and features 2 levels and several office suites. Having just finished the interior and adding the final touches before moving in, the new conference room was next on the list. Heather wanted an atypical office vibe with custom furniture, gorgeous art, and some color. A place to WOW clients!

“We wanted to show our work and inspire our clients with simple-yet-inspiring design,” said Heather. She was looking to add color when she selected Timber Trails Rabbit Run, 9432, an oak wood veneer wallcovering with a vertical plank pattern.  “That wood veneer has a lot of color coming through it without being too bold. We wanted the art to play off of it.”

Timber Trails is a specialty wood veneer wallcovering that uses authentic oak wood. Each piece is thinly sliced, dyed, and hand laid for an organic, vertical panel look. The authentic wood panels create dimension and character with knots, grains, and saturated colors.

THE AFTER: ALDER & TWEED OFFICE
“Phillip Jeffries has such beautiful wallcoverings it was easy to find something elevated with an organic feeling,” said Heather. "We loved that the wood veneer had a lot of color coming through it without being a ‘brown’ wood wallcovering, or too bold. We wanted timeless and color.  And wanted the art to play off of it."

Heather bought a large piece of art in France last year and was drawn to the simple yet inspiring style. Phillip Jeffries Timber Trails wallcovering was the perfect soft and elegant background for this special piece. 

"We designed the custom table, said Heather. "It's very funky" The ribbing pairs well with a darker granite top while the walls provide a hint of color. "Everything felt very simple and inspiring," said Heather.
