At Everhem, we are always excited to work with talented designers who bring their unique vision to life—and Hannah Shargal of EEMA Studio is no exception! We were thrilled to feature her beautifully renovated home, which now includes a cozy new nursery for her fourth son. From thoughtfully chosen fabrics to perfectly placed window treatments, every detail reflects her signature style: functional, intentional, and comfortable.

Who is Hannah Shargal & EEMA Studio?
Hannah Shargal is the founder and lead designer of EEMA Studio, a design firm that specializes in creating spaces for kids. Whether it’s nurseries, kids’ bedrooms, or playrooms, Hannah’s focus is on designing rooms that are stylish but also functional and practical for growing families. With her signature approach to design, Hannah creates spaces that are as livable as they are beautiful—perfect for kids to explore and play while reflecting a timeless aesthetic.
Hannah is also part of Everhem’s trade program, where designers can turn to us for all their custom window treatment needs. From Customer's Own Material (COM) to any bespoke solutions, Everhem is the go-to workroom for designers looking to bring their window treatment dreams to life. We were thrilled to partner with Hannah on the window treatments for her home, offering her access to the full range of Everhem’s custom capabilities.
Window Treatments: Function Meets Beauty
In the nursery, Hannah made sure to achieve the perfect balance of light and darkness for her newborn. The light shines beautifully through the privacy-lined shades made with custom fabric from Chelsea Textiles, Hugo Stripe in Seafoam. The combination of the light-filtering shades and blackout roller shades behind them ensures that the room can be transformed from bright and airy during the day to a dark, restful space at nap time or nighttime.
One of the best features? The cordless shades. For a mom with a newborn, being able to adjust the shades with one hand (especially while holding the baby) is a game-changer! It’s a small design detail that makes a massive difference for multitasking parents.
Everhem was particularly excited to partner with Hannah on these roller shades, a product we’ve introduced more recently with the trade program. We’re even considering bringing them online for all to enjoy—shhh, stay tuned!

A Cozy Kitchen with Classic Charm
Hannah’s kitchen is another standout feature of her home. With four young boys, the kitchen is truly the heart of the home. Hannah’s favorite thing about the space is its spaciousness. The open layout accommodated her family’s needs, making it a great space for cooking, mealtime, and entertaining.
"We were very intentional with the open layout, which allows for cooking, mealtime, and entertaining to be such a delight—even with so many boys running around," she shares.
Everhem installed café curtains in the kitchen to complement the space’s English cottage aesthetic. The kitchen paint is Farrow & Ball’s Sweet Butter and the cozy banquette dining areas provide the perfect backdrop for these curtains, which not only add a layer of privacy but also evoke a sense of nostalgia. The café curtains bring the room a soft, vintage touch, tying the entire design together beautifully.
The Design Details That Matter
When asked about special design features, Hannah highlighted the large island, painted in Farrow & Ball’s Cardamom; she chose for the kitchen. "We went LARGE with our island, and I'm so glad that we did! It incorporates lots of storage below, seating around, and an empty surface top, which has worked well for us. The island is where the boys come to eat, do homework, play cards, or chat while I cook. I love that we can all do our things while still being together and feeling connected."
Her design style is all about functionality, intentionality, and comfort. "While our home is well designed, it's also warm and full of life—bursting with kids and chaos!"

Trade Secrets: Privacy with Style
One of the exciting design solutions we proposed to Hannah was for her front door, which has glass on the upper half. To provide added privacy without compromising the space's aesthetic, Everhem suggested a solution that’s a bit of a trade secret: rod top and bottom curtains.
These curtains feature rods that slip through the fabric at both the top and bottom of the panels, allowing them to hang slightly gathered with soft folds. For Hannah's front door, we used the same pebble sheers installed in the kitchen.
This design choice serves a dual purpose: functionally, the curtains provide enough privacy so that no one can see inside, while still allowing those inside the home to see who might be at the door. The ability to add a layer of privacy without sacrificing visibility is especially helpful for a busy household.
Design-wise, the rod top and bottom curtains hit the mark, adding an elevated touch to the entryway. It’s a subtle yet sophisticated way to enhance the design while fulfilling a practical need—and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out!
Hannah's design choices in her home—whether it's the nursery, kitchen, or beyond—are a perfect example of how thoughtful window treatments and carefully chosen fabrics can elevate a space. At Everhem, we’re proud to collaborate with designers like Hannah, who understand the power of beautiful yet functional custom window treatments.
