A Walk on the Wild Side (Baltimore Style)
Jenn Cameron fell in love with interior design in her own home.
While Cameron’s passion for the arts has always been present, it wasn’t until she designed her own home seven years ago that she realized interior design was the perfect match.
“I’d always loved interior design but never thought of it as a career because everything was theater,” Cameron says.
Cameron then attended design school while assisting another experienced interior designer, going on to found her own studio, Jenn Cameron Interiors. As a designer, Cameron works to blend the old with the new and give beloved family heirlooms new life in a refreshed space.
This year, Cameron worked with a Pikesville couple moving into a completely renovated home. The couple was downsizing after 47 years in their former home, excited to entertain and open to new ideas.
The final product?
“Modern, glam, but still super inviting,” Cameron says.
A Wild Touch
When Cameron first showed the homeowners the bold cheetah wallpaper, they were skeptical.
While Cameron also presented quieter options, she also shared a vision for the powder room they hadn’t expected. Cameron paired the standout wallpaper with moody lighting and brassy metallic fixtures.
“They went for it, and they ended up loving it,” Cameron says. “That probably is my favorite room in their house.”
Warmth Through Texture
This fireplace brings warmth whether or not there are sparks inside. The hand-plastered petal texture took hours to complete and was done by local company Artstar Custom Paintworks.
“When you add in different textures, it provides a warmth, it provides, like, a homey feeling,” Cameron says.
But texture isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal.
“As the homeowner, if you love something and it feels like this represents how you want your home to feel, then it’s the right texture,” Cameron says. “It spoke to them, they loved it, we went with it.”
