Minimalism Is Out, Murals Are In – Tour Corey Damen Jenkins’s Cohasset Garden Room, Where Humor Meets History

Mural-wallpapered living room featuring a blend of historic accents and modern lighting ideas.

Actual art feels almost beside the point when the wallpaper is doing the storytelling – especially in a collected, cross-referential project like Corey Damen Jenkins's Garden Room in Cohasset, Massachusetts. The garden room, wrapped in a sweeping nature mural, nods to the surrounding South Shore landscape and the home’s maritime provenance in a way no framed piece could compete with.

‘When we first laid eyes on its idyllic landscape and ambling waterways, we knew it would be the perfect fit for our project,’ Corey says of the Iksel mural that became both muse and anchor for the entire room. ‘I always aim to cast “lead actors” in our designs, and this mural was one that the family fell in love with, so we made careful choices to pull together a concept that garnered full support from all the supporting actors in the room.’
