Getting Personal - Lincoln Park Japandi Loft

Project Year: 2021
This main living area is the truly the heart of the home. The living and dining room are filled with natural light from the double-height windows, and the kitchen feels like an extension of the space.

We kept the furniture low profile in the living and dining room so the spaces feel unified and modern. We introduced a dramatic gallery wall that acts as an art installation in our home.

Above the range, we incorporated the same stone from the TV wall and created an oversized yet simple hood.

In order to make the primary bedroom feel light and airy, we kept the palette simple and bright. We opted to suspend pendants above the nightstands to draw the eyes up and make the ceilings feel taller, and took that even further with tall mirrors carrying from the nightstand to the ceiling.

We carried in the same stone for the vanity in the guest bathroom as well as a fluted wood-look porcelain tiles to add warmth to the walls. In here, we opted for a floating vanity to add a delicate touch.

The focal point of the living room is the dramatic fireplace wall. We chose a book-matched stone to go behind the tv and a satin black porcelain to wrap the fireplace beneath the mantle. We carried the black across the bottom with 4-foot wide fluted wood cabinets.

The palette is kept simple with natural textures and shades of white for a soothing, hotel-like feel.

Floor-to-ceiling ripplefold drapes also create the illusion of a taller ceiling and create a simple, soft backdrop for the seating area.

At the fireplace, we knit a few different elements together in one cohesive design. On the right side, bookmatched stone slabs create a focal point behind the TV, while black porcelain frames the fireplace and ties in with the black cabinets beside it.

On the left, we carry fluted wood cabinet doors from the floor to the ceiling hiding extra storage and carrying in some natural texture. Below the mantle, the cabinets carry across 4-feet wide, while at the top, we took them 2-feet wide and then transitioned to open shelving with gray mirror backs....

We created custom linen drapes for the space to carry the eye all the way up to the ceiling. They create a soft backdrop for the cozy, loungey sectional.

We fell madly in love with a black marble and instantly knew it was perfect for our coffee table. So, we created a custom plinth table with the stone to fit our sectional perfectly and carry in dramatic stone veining to the seating area.

Above the dining table, we dropped oversized, sculptural globes that act as a light fixture to bring the ceiling down a bit above the table, but also become an art installation in the space.

One of our favorite parts of the design is the gallery wall that we curated above our staircase. We filled almost every inch of the wall, and that’s the only place we have personal photos in the whole home. Today, it’s full of pictures from our wedding and honeymoon, but over time we can swap the...

The dining table incorporates the black marble from the coffee table in it’s pedestal legs and a rift-cut black stained oak top to maintain a simple, modern aesthetic.

Above the kitchen, we incorporated an oversized picture window in the third bedroom to allow natural light into the room. Blackout drapes provide privacy when guests are in the room.

The kitchen pulls in Japandi-influence with rift-cut white-oak cabinets, a simple textural backsplash and an oversized stone hood.

It was really important to us to be able to high small appliances out of site when they aren’t in use, so we incorporated two 4-foot long appliance garages on either side of the range wall.

When they’re open, we have access to all of our small appliances, and then as soon as we’re done using the,...

The backsplash throughout the kitchen is a simple ceramic tile that adds a soft texture to the space without competing with the wood and stone accents.

Beside the refrigerator, we tucked in some open shelves to provide a coffee station for easy access during busy mornings.

Above the kitchen, the third bedroom feels like an extension of the living room with the oversized picture window. Today, this room is my office but when guests visit, the sofa easily pulls-out to an extra bed and this becomes an en-suite guest room.

In an effort to tie the two floors together and not add any visual clutter, we incorporated a new glass stair rail.

The other bedroom upstairs is our main guest room. We retired the bedroom furniture from our previous primary suite up here to give it new life and create a space that guests can comfortably relax in when they come visit.

We incorporated a carved marble tile on the accent wall as a nod to the fluted wood in the living room cabinets. From there, we carried in the same wood tone at the vanity cabinets and stone from the TV wall into the countertop.

Matte black Brizo fixtures create a luxurious spa-like experience for guests.

The primary bathroom is actually a hybrid of the existing conditions and our new aesthetic. We kept the shower as it was (the previous owners had recently renovated it, and did a great job) and also kept the white subway tile that extended out of the shower behind the vanity. In the rest of the...

We kept it simple by the tub for a truly Japandi spa-like escape. The Brizo Jason Wu tub filler adds some contrast but otherwise the tile wall is the artwork here.

At the vanity, we wanted the look of one long, linear and integrated sink, but needed the surface area between the sinks to be functional. As a solution, we integrated two sinks into the countertop and recessed the part between them just about two inches so that it stays dry, but still gives a...

n the powder room, we went for a completely different look. I always say, there are no rules in a powder room, you can do whatever you want in there (from a design perspective at least). In ours, we opted to black it out. The walls are wrapped in a black and brass inlay tile, the ceiling is painted...
