In the New England Home article Let There Be Bright, designer Jocelyn Chiappone of DIGS Design Company was celebrated for her transformative work on a gatehouse turned family home in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The property, which had fallen into disrepair, was revived by Chiappone’s bold approach to design. She worked with the homeowners to bring their vision of a fun, lively home to life, blending original elements with vibrant new additions. Chiappone embraced the eclectic nature of the house, encouraging the family to "embrace the ugly" and incorporate the quirky terrazzo floors, creating a playful yet refined aesthetic.

Chiappone’s design choices were marked by bold colors, unique furniture, and a combination of textures that balanced modern and retro styles. The living room, for example, features a blue sofa, mismatched chairs, and a green shag rug, all reflecting a '70s-inspired vibe. Chiappone’s innovative use of lighting, like the bubbly chandelier in the dining room, enhanced the home's character and playfulness.

This project exemplifies Chiappone’s ability to blend practicality with style, creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional. Her fearless approach to design, coupled with a focus on reflecting the homeowners' personalities, marks her as a standout designer in the New England area. Her work on this project demonstrates her expertise in revitalizing unique spaces while keeping them fresh and inviting.
