“I’m a texture over pattern person, so I imagined this home with rich, yummy fabrics and wallcoverings paired with elegant upholstery and refined millwork.”
Named one of the “Top 100 Interior Designers in the World” with 13 ASID Design Excellence Awards, interior and product designer Donna Mondi, of Donna Mondi Interior Design, has seen and done it all. Introduced to House of Rohl early on, Mondi was tasked with selecting plumbing for a custom home builder she worked with in an affluent Chicago suburb. “House of Rohl always had a great selection and beautiful finishes, and their faucets felt so good,” Mondi says. “I am big on how elements feel on a daily basis.” Here, Mondi took a traditional approach to her whole-home concept, envisioning
spaces with classical elements, but with a twist. Starting in the kitchen, she chose Perrin & Rowe’s Bridge Faucet and a chef’s sink with all the bells and whistles, then moved to the primary bathroom, where a Victoria + Albert Freestanding Bathtub in Signal Black Matte creates drama. “Powder rooms might be my favorite spaces to design, so I couldn’t pass that up, and a sexy bar lounge resonates with my firm’s provocative style,” she adds. “And I rounded it out with a chic and highly-functional laundry room.”

What provided the jumping-off point for your design?
The Holborn from Perrin & Rowe and Graceline from ROHL are my favorites! Traditional, but with modern simplicity.
Three words that best describe the look you were going for:
Classic. Timeless. Luxurious.
Favorite House of Rohl products:
I’m a sucker for the Perrin & Rowe Holborn and Armstrong versions of the Bridge Faucet for the kitchen, and Victoria + Albert’s Amiata Tub with ROHL’s Graceline Tub Filler in the bathroom.
K+B design musts:
Function first! Every kitchen should have a beautiful faucet with a side sprayer and air switch. I love a large, generous sink and pot fillers too.
