Ethan Allen's Contract Division has completed renovation of the Inn at Lambertville Station, on the Delaware River in historic Lambertville, N.J.

The five-month project includes 45 contemporary restyled rooms and a renovated lobby.

The Ethan Allen Contract Division design team spent a week exploring the area's rich history, architecture, local attractions and bed and breakfast culture, looking for ways to stylistically capitalize on the location while introducing a modern aesthetic.

"The Inn, with its waterfront setting, is a vantage point for tremendous natural beauty," said Jim DeBernardo, director of display planning for Ethan Allen, Danbury, Conn. "As a point of connection to Lambertville Station's perennially picturesque environment, we designed each room as an oasis of calm with a contemporary, neutral palette, adding splashes of color and pattern for a warm, hospitable ambience."

The Inn's 45 rooms now feature six design styles ranging from standard and deluxe accommodations to suites.  Throughout, a juxtaposition of distinctive wood finishes with glass, metal, and richly patterned and colored textiles provides great depth in the design, while complementing the existing traditional architecture.  Textured wall coverings are durable, and add the natural look of grasscloth.

The lobby also a fresh new look with Ethan Allen furnishings arranged in small seating areas around the fireplace, designed to encourage conversation. 

"Now more than ever, The Inn at Lambertville Station offers business and leisure guests a luxurious retreat, surrounded by the natural beauty of Lambertville, but infused with the comforts of modern design," said Dan Whitaker, co-owner of the Inn with Rose DiMarco, Skip DiMarco and Michael Dougherty.
