  - Description: After a year of living in their historical home and not being able to figure out their long and narrow living space, our family of four yearned to have a proper Living Room layout. The vibrant color sofa brought a new life to the minimalist style we wanted to maintain, while the custom lounger helped transition the room from the previously referred “gymnasium” into a formal, yet livable layout. We utilized custom kid-friendly fabric so the activity of the room didn’t have to stop and the kids co…

With an emphasis on conversation and connection, there is now ample seating for formal and informal business meetings. From the custom print of Bermuda above the console, to the sailing and diving books, and the natural texture of grasscloth wallpaper, we every last detail was carefully chosen as both a reflection of the company and it’s leader.

  - Description: Living Room: Every client has a design problem that leads them to reach out for help. In the case of this client, it all started with their living room. A long, rectangular formal living room in a traditional historic house is often resolved here in the South with a traditional color palette and endless symmetry. For this accomplished, artistic couple, redefining a traditional living room needed to reflect their eclectic tastes and be a welcoming environment for entertaining other artists in the…

  - Location: Winston-Salem, NC
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: Our client hired Catherine French Design to design a comfortable space for entertaining with the requirement that we needed to base the full design around a sectional. What was obvious to us is that the unparalleled views of this one-bedroom apartment needed to be a focal point. The furniture, lighting, and other objects all worked together to frame that first view out of the window as you walk in the front door. We played with pattern and texture in this space, to subtly pull from the art deco…

  - Description: Hello, my design lovelies! It's been awhile since we had a long, juicy project recap post. Probably because this summer has been bananas - in all the right ways. We've been growing (see our Meet the Team updates!) and traveling, and generally just getting our design on. If you follow all of our behind-the-scenes action on Instagram, you probably saw some of the pics and videos from our Boston Glam installation. And if you missed it? You're in luck, because today is all about how we designed and…

  - Description: Situated above the detached garage, this delightful guest house is a one-room, half-bath hideaway. The room is a play on texture and color, filled with the client’s artwork, toys, books, and personal family photos. The intent is a place for relaxation and contemplation, reading and writing. A small desk is placed beneath a window overlooking the lush backyard. A lounge chair and ottoman offer a place to read and sip morning coffee. Theater posters fill a gallery wall up the stairs. This personal…
