Anglin House

Recently completed. The West family recently purchased a beautifully renovated home and wanted to move into a space with all new furnishings, rugs, accessories and window coverings.

The two have different tastes in furnishings. He is more "mod" and she leans towards "transitional". Our job was to marry the two into a cohesive and beautiful design theme.

The budget was moderate and the space is fairly tight but with a great floor plan. In cases like this, we spend quite a bit of time on space planning with the client so we make sure to optimize traffic patterns, allow for enough seating and choose pieces that offer enough storage and function for their lifestyle.

Our client has four family members currently living at home and does light entertaining. They wanted a large built in media center which we are designing and will become the focal point of the living room. They wanted to be able to seat 10 in the dining room during holidays, and they wanted a game table in the living room.


Project Year: 2016
Project Cost: $25,001 - $50,000
Country: United States
We worked with the client and custom cabinet maker, Brad Allen Woodworks to create this gorgeous media center. We also selected all the furnishings, rugs, lamps, window coverings and accessories. We incorporated the client's art collection into the finished design.

Anglin House - Custom Cabinetry
Our client's living room and dining room is fairly small and they did not want the room to feel crowded with oversized furniture. They also entertain frequently and need seating for 10 in their small dining area. Our solution was to turn the dining table at an angle allowing for easy expansion...

Another view of the living room towards the fireplace. The Caligaris table has a beautiful smoked grey glass top that worked well with the tan silk couch and taupe colored satin dining chairs.

Anglin - "On the Boards" Living and Dining Room
When working with clients, we begin with space planning before selecting furniture. The client had several "musts" and the space is fairly tight. They wanted optional seating in the dining room for 10. The wanted a built in media wall in the great room and a game table in the living room.
Anglin House - "On the Boards" Floorplan Option 1
The wife really wanted a curved couch so we added that to this floor plan option. In reality, we decided against it because it encroached into the space allocated for the built in media cabinet. We also changed strategy for the game table in the living room. We selected an accent table that could...
