Bold Bathroom Tile

Friday, August 3, 2018 · Leave a Comment 

Brightly colored and bold patterned tiles are a fantastic way to bring life to your bathroom.  Tiles laid or printed in geometric patterns have become very popular over recent years and we can see why!  

A three dimensional cube pattern is printed on these fun bathroom tiles.  We like how the pattern continues all the way from the floor to the sink backsplash.

This black and white tile has a more traditional feel in this transitional space.  The tile wall has a nice peek-a-boo effect with the pitched ceiling in the shower.

A blue and white printed tile creates a backdrop for both the shower and bathroom vanity.  This shade of blue works brilliantly with cool and warm tones in the room.

Colorful Cabinetry

Friday, July 20, 2018 · Leave a Comment 

Adding some color to your kitchen cabinetry is a great way to liven up your space and give it some character.  We have been seeing dark navy cabinetry or a pop-of-blue kitchen island become popular over recent years.  Here are some ideas for painted kitchen cabinetry that you probably haven’t seen!

Mint and turquoise work so perfectly together in this sweet little kitchen.  Choosing two paint colors really works in this space, keeping the lighter color on top and the darker on the bottom.

Forest green cabinets paired with all white uppers and a distressed natural wood island work well together in this space.  We love the additional pop of color added by the brightly patterned runner.

Powdery pink base cabinets look incredible with Carrara marble countertops and natural wood floor.  Little hints of black in the decor pair well with the pink cabinetry.

A super funky example of painted cabinetry is displayed in this lofty kitchen.  Bright yellow cabinets are paired with a grayish mauve color.  Taking the paint color all the way up the walls and over the ceiling moldings is an interesting and unexpected element.

How stunning is this contemporary kitchen island?  The combination of countertop materials in white and black add amazing interest and contrast to the space.

Ultra Violet

This year’s Pantone color of the year was awarded to ultra violet. We love to see the fun ways that people have been incorporating color into the designs of their spaces.  

The bright purple walls in this sitting space are accentuated by variations of the same purple and blue tones.  This space has both contemporary and traditional design elements working together to create a funky, eclectic look.

We love the idea of doing a bold color on the ceiling!  This variation of ultra violet has a little more red in it, creating a warming overall tone.

Some ultra violet hued Togo chairs are a fun and casual way to dress up a space. A good way to use the color ultra violet is as a pop of color in an accent chair or sofa.

To add some elegant drama to your space, you could opt for rich, velvet draperies in a dark ultra violet plum tone.  This example shows how versatile this color is and how it can be used to add mature, luxurious elements to your space or playful quirky ones!

Powder Room Perfection

Friday, June 8, 2018 · Leave a Comment 

Powder bathrooms are such a fun space to make unique and funky.  We love to see what ideas people have and how they want to show them off to their guests.  The fact that powder bathrooms are also typically small, allows you to splurge on something you maybe normally wouldn’t or go for the wild idea that would be too much for a larger bathroom.  

This powder bath space is all white, but not lacking in interest.  The texture and pattern of the white tile on the wall and interesting shapes of the mirror and sink basin create a fun and playful design.

Hospitality Lighting

Hospitality style or custom lighting installations are an incredible way to elevate a space.  We love to draw inspiration from hospitality lighting for many of our residential projects.

This gorgeous light installation features chandeliers made of mother of pearl.  The natural material creates a warm glow and stunning texture.

A more minimal and modern display of light is shown in this hotel bar.  Twinkling, wire spheres of different sizes are grouped together to provide a delicate and intriguing sparkle.

This light installation is like a brass sculpture suspended in the air.  The light reflected off of the sculpture creates an appearance of water on the ceiling.

Delicate ribbons of fabric with light shining through line the ceiling of this hotel lobby.  We love how light and serene the installation makes the space feel.

Carefully placed panels of wood come together to create 3D geometric forms in this hospitality space.  The space is illuminated by LED lights in between the ceiling panels and funky light wall behind the front desk.  We love the multiple forms and layers of light used in this space.

Modern Fireplaces

Friday, May 4, 2018 · Leave a Comment 

Modern Fireplaces can truly transform a space and double as a work of art.  We love when form meets function to create the most interesting and sculptural space element.

A natural back-lit onyx fireplace really warms up this space in more ways than one.  The play on scale in this example is very interesting as well.  The fireplace itself is quite small but the fascia around it feels grand.

This industrial and masculine fireplace acts as a divider between spaces.  We love that the space feels open but still transitioned by the fireplace itself.

This modern fireplace has such an architectural quality to it.  The beautiful floating quartz and the simple pane of glass are a minimalist work of art.

Statement sofas and love seats are an awesome way to add huge impact to a space.  An upholstered piece in an interesting shape, color or texture can really elevate a design.

A moody, dark room is accentuated by a fun squiggly shaped sofa with a brass base.  The design of the sofa feels playful but polished.

Beautiful Breakfast Nooks

Breakfast nooks or eat-in banquettes are a perfect design solution for saving space.  We love how practical they are for families and the casual, cozy appeal that they add to a space.

This mid-century style dining nook feels warm and inviting, yet modern.  The space utilizes the beautiful views and eliminates the excess furniture.

Modern Mud Rooms

Friday, March 23, 2018 · Leave a Comment 

Mud Rooms, Key-Drops, and Laundry or Multi-Purpose rooms are an important space in a family home.  This space needs to be functional and well-designed.  Some mud rooms are just a landing space to put on your shoes or gather your things and others are valuable storage areas for back packs, sports equipment, you name it!

The clean, light design of this mud room cabinetry is beautiful.  The upper cabinetry provides concealed storage, while the lower cabinetry displays a translucent material that softens the design and gives it a playful touch.

This mud room uses open-style lockers for hanging coats and bags.  We love the deep grey-navy color of the cabinetry paired with the brass accent fixtures.

The ultra modern key drop area below offers less storage space, but is stunning.  The beautiful floating wood bench is like art all on its own.  The contrasting textures of the natural wood, smooth white tiles and concrete floors create a fantastic combination.

This combination of charcoal painted cabinetry and caramel colored leather is a winning pair.  The concealed storage below in the bench is an ideal place for keeping shoes.

Dual vertical storage with smooth walnut doors and a sweet little bench in-between create a chic mud room.  We love how this contemporary look still maintains a warm and cozy vibe.
