In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLEfor this week’s issue, the singer’s cousin, interior designerLaura Wiedmann, says she knew Sparks, 28, would “want something timeless and classy,” so she chose to “stick with neutrals and build color up” from there.
“We used a lot of grays, off-whites and accents of black, then added in soft blues and pops of red,” Wiedmann tells PEOPLE. “I went witha nature, organic themelike the clouds, sun, moon, stars and animals.”
“I knew Jordin would want something not too trendy. Sophisticated — something classy that he can grow into and she’s not going to get sick of right away,” she adds. “Because the home isa mid-century-style home, I wanted to stick with clean lines, but Jordin has a pop of whimsy to her as well, and graphic elements are very Jordin.”
