This cozy gathering space in the heart of Davis, CA takes cues from traditional millwork concepts done in a contemporary way. Accented with light taupe, the grid panel design on the walls adds dimension to the otherwise flat surfaces. A brighter white above celebrates the room’s high ceilings, offering a sense of expanded vertical space and deeper relaxation. Along the adjacent wall, bench seating wraps around to the front entry, where drawers provide shoe-storage by the front door. A built-in bookcase complements the overall design. A sectional with chaise hides a sleeper sofa. Multiple tables of different sizes and shapes support a variety of activities, whether catching up over coffee, playing a game of chess, or simply enjoying a good book by the fire. Custom drapery wraps around the room, and the curtains between the living room and dining room can be closed for privacy. Petite framed arm-chairs visually divide the living room from the dining room. In the dining room, a similar arch can be found to the one in the kitchen. A built-in buffet and china cabinet have been finished in a combination of walnut and anegre woods, enriching the space with earthly color. Inspired by the client’s artwork, vibrant hues of teal, emerald, and cobalt were selected for the accessories, uniting the entire gathering space.

The exposed wood beams give an earthy feel to an otherwise completely modern and contemporary living space. It is undeniable that the orb chandelier is the grand focal point of the space. Lighting available from www.wegotlites.net

Hanging this chandelier in the middle of a large open space creates a more intimate setting.

This cozy mountain retreat was meant to be an inviting home away from home! Now, it's time to grab a cup of tea and cuddle up with your favorite puppy! Anything is possible with a great team! This renovation project was a fun and colorful challenge! We were thrilled to have the opportunity to both design and realize the client's vision 100% via Zoom throughout 2020!
