A beautiful table setting is only the beginning of holiday celebrations. That is how Beth Ketchum thinks about the season, and she has spent more than twenty years making the case. When family and friends gather, the entire room becomes part of the celebration.
Custom draperies, Roman shades, upholstered dining chairs and cushions add warmth, texture and polish, helping create a space that feels finished and ready for entertaining. Ketchum owns Wunderhaus Design, at 1228 N. Interstate Drive in Robinson Crossing, where all of that work is done custom and measured to the room.
And beautiful does not have to mean high-maintenance.
Today's performance fabrics offer durability and easy care without sacrificing style, which makes them an ideal choice for dining chairs, banquettes, cushions and other hardworking pieces throughout the home. Spills and everyday messes become a little less stressful, so the host can focus on setting the table, pouring the wine and actually enjoying the people gathered around it.
Much of the work at Wunderhaus is not replacement but revival. A set of dining chairs inherited from a grandmother does not need to go; it needs to be recovered. The shop also does shutters, woven woods and motorized shades, and it works with homeowners, builders and interior designers alike.
Wunderhaus specializes in custom window treatments and upholstery designed for the way a family actually lives. Refreshing dining chairs in a performance fabric, adding draperies to soften a room, finally finishing the windows before guests arrive — thoughtful details, in Ketchum's telling, that completely change the way a space looks and feels.
Her standard for the holidays is a two-part one: Yes, a home that is beautiful for entertaining, but also comfortable enough to truly enjoy it.
Custom looks. Endless possibilities. Only at Wunderhaus.
