What Houzz contributors are saying:
Homeowners’ request: Keep things clean and simple, employing natural materials, finishes and textures wherever possible. “The bones of the house are amazing, so I felt a responsibility to let it speak for itself and not overdesign,” Holmes says. “It was very important that this space feel authentic, and that the kitchen transition seamlessly into the other spaces. The wall and trim color are consistent throughout the house, so the natural wood tones, the passages of gray slate flooring and the repetition of the honed white marble in the baths — they all draw you from room to room. It just flows beautifully.” Why the design works: “A wall of windows floods the space with light, reflecting off the honed marble and glass, and amplifying the size of the room,” Holmes says. “The exposed beams and warm woods tone down the formality and make the space feel more intimate and lived-in.”
