Interior design for this custom home was all about blending the styles of the homeowners while maintaining a sense of warmth and coziness. In this serene corner, texture and tone come together to create a refined yet approachable aesthetic. A large-scale sculptural canvas, created by our Principal Designer, Sarah Rice-Maldonado, commands attention with its striking draped fabric effect, offering a modern take on classic relief art. Its soft ivory palette pairs harmoniously with the warm beige wall, creating depth and dimension without overpowering the space. Below, a sleek black console table grounds the composition, topped with thoughtful accents—an earthy woven vase with lush green foliage, a rustic wooden bowl of natural finds, and a stack of curated books supporting a framed black-and-white photograph that adds a personal, nostalgic touch.
Balancing this vignette is a light blue and cream striped armchair, which introduces subtle color and pattern while maintaining the room’s understated elegance. A round black side table with brass ring hardware adds a touch of contrast and classic charm. The overall design showcases our masterful blend of contemporary minimalism with organic warmth, where every object feels intentionally placed and rich in texture. This space invites you to slow down, observe, and appreciate the quiet sophistication that emerges when art and interior design speak the same visual language. It’s a testament to how thoughtful details can elevate even the most intimate of corners.
This stunning kitchen is a masterclass in contrast, craftsmanship, and elegance. At the heart of the space is a dramatic navy herringbone zellige tile backsplash, creating a bold focal point that anchors the creamy white cabinetry and the rustic stone hood surround. The custom stonework adds texture and an old-world touch, blending seamlessly with the modern sophistication of the space – all of which speaks effortlessly to the elements of the adjoining living and dining area.
Crisp shaker-style cabinets with brushed brass hardware lend a clean, timeless appeal, while glass-front uppers display a curated collection of pottery and baskets, bringing warmth and personality. The generous island, painted in a rich navy hue to echo the backsplash, provides a sleek yet welcoming hub for gathering, anchored by three upholstered bar stools with wood and metal detailing for a mix of comfort and industrial edge.
Oversized metal dome pendants offer dramatic overhead lighting, while fresh florals and tall candles add softness and charm. The integrated stainless-steel appliances complete the look with a professional-grade polish, making this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Every element—from the tactile materials to the layered palette—works in harmony to create a culinary space that feels luxurious, inviting, and entirely personal. It’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and contemporary design.
This elegant dining space artfully combines bold sophistication with welcoming warmth. A striking gold chandelier, sculptural in form, floats above a custom wood table, setting the tone for a room that feels both luxurious and livable. The table’s rectangular shape encourages conversation and connection, surrounded by plush white upholstered chairs with curved brass frames that echo the metallic tones above.
The built-in bar area is a standout feature, clad in dramatic navy cabinetry with glass-front doors that showcase curated dishware and glassware. The antique-style mirrored backsplash adds depth and glamour, catching the light and reflecting subtle patterns throughout the space. Brass hardware and clean lines provide a contemporary contrast to the more traditional mirrored surfaces.
On the table, a sculptural bowl brimming with vibrant pomegranates and a tall vase of white tulips lend freshness and color, grounding the space in natural beauty. Stone accents along the adjacent wall add texture and a subtle rustic charm, tying the design back to the home’s architectural roots.
Altogether, this dining area balances classic and modern aesthetics with impeccable attention to detail. It’s a space designed for both everyday elegance and memorable gatherings, where timeless style meets thoughtfully layered design.
