The New Year inspires change, a clean slate and making updates to your life and your home.  Some light, white and neutral interiors have been serving major inspiration this week.  We love the idea of a bright, light clean space as a fresh start this year!

This stunning white living room feels clean and serene.  The natural wood ceiling paneling and light fixture add a nice warmth to the space.

Feliz Navidad

Saturday, December 15, 2018 · Leave a Comment 

This holiday season we are loving all of the quirky and colorful decor we are seeing!  Why go with the traditional green and red when you can use all the colors?  These Christmas decor ideas are inspired by handmade crafts and textiles found in Southern Mexico.  This boho style celebrates color and is a funky way to liven up your holiday decorations.

A hot pink Christmas tree and paper garland steal the spotlight in this living space.  We love the addition of colorful hand made gift wrappings.

Bottle-brush trees are another perfect at-home craft project.  Just trim bottle brushes into a cone shape and paint with your colors of choice.  These make great mantle or table-top decor.

Co-work spaces have become very popular over recent years and it is no surprise why.  More companies are moving toward a non-traditional or more flexible work environment that supports their employees lifestyles.  

This gorgeously designed co-work space in New York City uses industrial and polished elements to create a funky and refined environment to work in.

The sophisticated and timeless appeal of a black and white design scheme is one of our favorite looks.  You can never go wrong with the beautiful contrast that is created between black and white.  

This living space is a mostly white design studded with subtle black accents in the window systems and light fixtures.  black and white 1

Something Green

The power of adding a live green element to a space is transformative.  House plants add a special natural touch to the room and are good for your health!  Certain kinds of plants are known to help cleanse the air and create a calm, uplifting environment.

Two beautiful Fiddle Leaf Fig trees are potted in natural woven baskets in this living space.  We love the casual nature of the fiddle leaf fig and how resilient they are!

Tropical potted plants are an excellent choice for adding lushness to your space.  We love the combination of smooth natural concrete and white pots.

Creative Space

Play rooms, teen rooms and flex rooms have become increasingly popular requests in residential home design.  We love an opportunity to think outside the box and create a fun and creative space for young minds to feel at home. 

This lively space displays a large chalk board wall for doodling and art projects.  We love the idea of a large table work space and open shelving for storage.

A flex room with low, comfy seating and funky artwork make the perfect teen hangout space.  Brightly colored accent pillows and details add a youthful vibe.

A quirky graphic wallpaper or bold piece of furniture make great additions to a children’s playroom; this space happens to have both.  We love the subtle, or not-so-subtle, bunny theme throughout this adorable space! We also love what we did for the Psychedelic Assisted Treatment Center in Phoenix which duplicated the bunny theme.

Benched

Friday, September 28, 2018 · Leave a Comment 

We love mixing up the traditional dining table and chairs with varied styles of seating.  Using a combination of different styles of seating can create a more approachable design and unique look.  Lately we have been all about the bench!  

When there is a lack of room, it is a great space-saving solution to put an upholstered bench against a wall and build your dining look that way.  This solution reads intentional and looks fantastic.

Dramatic Doorways

Entry ways are the introduction to a space.  The first impression you have when you walk through the door tells you a lot about the experience you are about to have.  Why not have your doorway make an impact and say something about your style?  

This beautiful, contemporary, arched-pivot door creates such a nice contrast against the rough tumbled stone walls.

Dreamy Daybeds

Friday, August 31, 2018 · Leave a Comment 

Daybeds and chaises are a versatile piece of furniture that can be used in many different spaces.  Some daybeds can function like a deep sofa that can be repurposed into a bed and some can be more like a bench.  No matter the shape, depth or design, daybeds are a fun and unique piece to add to your space.  

A gorgeous marigold colored velvet daybed shines in this living room space.  We love the versatility of this piece!

Touch of Terrazzo

Friday, August 17, 2018 · Leave a Comment 

Terrazzo is a poured composite material containing pieces of glass, granite, quartz or marble and comes in many different variations and colors.  Terrazzo gained great popularity in America in the 1920’s and was used to cover flooring, countertops, furniture and more.  We have seen terrazzo make a comeback in recent years and are loving the updated, contemporary takes we have been seeing!  

This architectural lobby desk is covered in a gorgeous salmon colored terrazzo.  The warm tone of the terrazzo and cool tone of the poured concrete create a nice contrast.
