Lake Forest Contemporary Chateau

Project Year: 2022
In the powder room, DGI went moody and dramatic with the design while still incorporating minimalist details and clean lines to maintain a really modern feel.

In the living room, We selected a custom area rug that grounds the space with texture and dimension. The boucle fabric side chair adds even more texture to the seating area, meanwhile the clean lines and sculptural forms of the other furniture pieces add to the minimal, modern aesthetic in the home.

In the formal living room, the crown molding and trim were painted charcoal grey for a more modern look, which helps to draw your eyes up and around the room. We weren’t afraid to select darker, textured furniture and fabrics for the space because it’s balanced out by the white walls and soft sheer...

In the formal living room, We discarded the existing damask drapery and introduced modern ripplefold drapery and sheers instead. The woven drapery fabric creates a formal look in the room while maintaining a modern feel. We opted to add a layer of white sheers to soften it up and allow natural...

In the formal living room, we opted for a porcelain slab to create the modern, cement look finish. A simple wood mantle, stained to match the existing wood doors, completes the design. It’s minimal and modern but still creates an inviting, cozy ambiance in the formal living room

We kept the existing arch alcove beside the fireplace, but we opted to paint it the same charcoal grey as the trim and crown moulding throughout the home. Behind it, we added a soft, textured wallpaper to elevate the space. It creates the perfect space for displaying our client’s own artwork.

The family room features a large, L-shaped Italian leather sectional that frames out the seating area. The pewter leather creates a contrast against the white walls and light grey area rug. We selected an oversized boucle bench and two channeled ottomans to round out the seating and add some...

Despite the dark furnishings throughout the family room, the space maintains an overall serene and sophisticated feel because of the cool tones and clean lines of the furniture. We created a focal point in the family room through a custom granite plinth coffee table. It adds a beautiful depth and...

We also gave the family room fireplace a huge upgrade. We discarded the tile surround and ornate mantle for a super sleek and modern porcelain. It features the same cement-look porcelain slab as the formal living room to tie the spaces together. The minimal profile on the surround instantly gives...

DGI painted the existing built-in shelves in the same charcoal grey seen throughout the rest of the home. It adds a beautiful depth and contrast to the fireplace wall in a modern way. The leather sectional and granite coffee table play off of the charcoal paint to create balance between the dark...

Custom stone tables are one of our favorite ways to instantly elevate a living room, and this satin black granite deserved it’s own close up. Fun fact: this coffee table took a team of nine men to set into place!
Lake Forest Contemporary Chateau
DGI transformed the open concept family room, breakfast area, and kitchen with modern furnishings and light fixtures, minimal window treatments, and a neutral palette of cool toned greys. We kept the wood window frames to add a touch of warmth throughout the space. We opted for the same charcoal...
Lake Forest Contemporary Chateau
DGI designed a large home office complete with two desks. The vaulted ceilings and wood beam details draw your eyes up, and we selected an aged iron chandelier to complement them. We kept the existing fireplace mantle, but we opted to paint the wooden surround in the same charcoal grey seen...
Lake Forest Contemporary Chateau
DGI opted for black office furniture and dark grey desk chairs to balance out the crisp white walls and create a moody tone in the office. We designed ripplefold drapery for the window treatments to keep up a cohesive, modern look.

DGI designed a modern breakfast table for more casual dining. We brought in the same black tones and bold contrasts seen throughout the rest of the home with the dining table and chairs. Above it, we selected a contemporary, wave-like light fixture. The curves of the fixture mimic the arches and...

Up close, you can see how the breakfast room furniture features subtle, sculptural forms and a gorgeous wood grain. The white leather seat and back of the chair gives off a minimal feel, while the wood framing features unique lines and subtle curves.

Off of the breakfast table, there is a built-in china cabinet in a unique, arched vestibule. DGI opted to paint the cabinet charcoal grey to give it a more modern feel. Then we selected a contemporary light fixture with sculptural curves that mimic the arches of the built-ins and doors.

DGI designed a moody and sophisticated formal dining room, incorporating the client’s existing table and chairs. We opted to cover the walls in a light grey textural wallcovering, but on the ceiling, we installed a charcoal grey grasscloth wallcovering to create a really moody look in the space. We...
Lake Forest Contemporary Chateau
The fireplace and built-ins were painted in the same deep charcoal grey as the ceiling and crown for a monochromatic effect. Above the fireplace mantle, we removed the ornate millwork and selected antique mirrors that add to the moody feel in the space. We completed the design by selecting a modern...

The new custom vanity is a major upgrade from the existing conditions. It’s larger in size and still creates a grounding focal point, but in a much more contemporary way. We opted for black stained wood, flat cabinetry with integrated pulls for the most minimal look. Then we selected a honed...

Lake Forest Contemporary Chateau
The crisp white walls, minimal floor tile, and suspended chandelier set a bright and modern tone as you enter the home. We swapped out the ornate stair rails for a modern, simplified baluster. However, we opted to keep the crown molding, trim, and door frames throughout the entire home. We decided...
