Home office - small contemporary built-in desk home office idea in New York with white walls

Our decorating mission for this home was to keep the integrity of the wonderfully unique and handcrafted architectural details. The very ornate mahogany ceiling is original to the house. Notice the intricate details of the hand painted ceilings. To offset the heaviness of the Mediterranean architectural details we kept the décor in a transitional style. In order to create a conversational area, we placed a sea foam chenille sofa and loveseat in front of the stone fireplace that is the focal point of the room. It is also original to the house.

The clients love of dark woods was carried into the living space with a gold and cork vinyl wallcovering creating the backdrop of an 85" television. The built in, faux finished, storage unit below the television contains a drawer with a mesh front to house a subwoofer. The sofa is upholstered in a combination of leather and upsholtery. A wood top slides from side to side on our custom ottoman.

Small coastal condo gets a new life! This project started as a consultation that really focused on whether or not it was feasible to maximize functionality out of a tight kitchen area in a condo on the beach. The cabinetry was sort of dated but not terrible terrible. Refresh or total gut of this small kitchen The client wanted to give it a refresh worked but we had worked with her before…so she could not quite decide how far to go. Maybe just repaint the existing cabinets? She needed some furniture. She wanted a little more ambiance and pizazz. And she wanted the Cheryl magic. Ok finally, decision made. Kitchen had to go@! Decision made- a new kitchen to go with the new living! After further review on site with her during the consult meeting, and pitching a few inquiries around for bids on cabinetry and countertops – she ultimately decided to gut and re-do the whole layout. And man-oh-man what a difference some well executed design makes!! This layout was unique and truly optimized every inch we could muster from the kitchen. (Working around that spiral staircase and navigating the soffit that wrapped the entire kitchen and adjacent living room!!) Colors needed to be bold while still feeling fresh so we paired a deep aubergine and a sort of “matte” Caribbean blue which laid the groundwork for a stunning living area palette. Tough layout to enlarge much There were a lot of other “givens” in this space that made the execution of the design a highly strategized process. We knew we had to work around the large wall space that starts the kitchen because it had the laundry room hiding on the other side… the awkward nook with windows on all sides that was a small breakfast area before the remodel… oh, and did we mention that dang spiral staircase?! Multiple site visits to plot the cabinetry and countertop curve paid off all said and done, though! Living space that work with the open floor plan kitchen Designing the furnishings then became the fun part! With a smaller living space flanked by windows and sliders – but one that needed to balance the kitchen in substance – we had to break a few preferred design rules to make up the amount of seating desired. The deep grape-y purple barrel swivels were the perfect “transition” piece by the slider offering access to the views while being versatile enough to still afford safe use of the slider and passage outside. Adding some graphic punch with the droplet shaped, stone and brass cocktail table and bold multicolored rug we love the balance of these weightier aesthetic choices with the adjacent kitchen. Signature pieces make all the difference Carrying through little pops of that blue green between the counter stools (I die! Seriously! SO GORGEOUS) and the sofa (with those brass nails!) — these colors really created a sturdy but eclectic tonal feel that the client was just over the moon for. The art and grasscloth on the walls throughout developed the architecture of the space in an overall structure that was really lacking – it feels warm, inviting, comfortable – BEAUTIFUL – but not too priss and pomp. Now if we could just keep the pup off the sofa!

The living room furniture wasn’t doing our clients any favours. The comfort they once sought in the room had turned to lethargy, and they wanted to liven things up. (When the sag in your sofa turns you into a human burrito, it’s time to let go.) Before we brought in the new, however, we wanted to focus on functionality. How was the space going to be used? Our clients love to host casual get togethers with family and friends, and they love a family movie night, so we knew ample seating was a must-have. We also wanted to make the living room feel as big as it actually is. Something to note: Let your furniture breathe! Allow for plenty of clearance between your furniture; don’t fill up your space with furniture just because the space allows for it. We got rid of the bookshelf and console table behind the sofa, which opened up the space for entertaining or for movie nights. Our clients now have room for a Christmas tree in the corner! Now the space is modern, purposeful, and oh so cozy! We stopped at nothing to make this living room feel as inviting as possible. The detailed tile in the fireplace, the textures in the accessories and pillows, and the various wood tones all work together to create comfort and style. And please don’t worry about mixing wood tones. When done with the right balance, the different shades will add warmth and depth to any space. Ottomans are the perfect way to maximize seating and comfort. They can be used for extra seating or pulled over to a sofa to rest the legs for maximum lounging. Now that there’s plenty of clearance between the cocktail table and sofas, our clients have the space to move these versatile pieces around. Thank you for visiting! We’re always honoured to share our transformed and updated homes! We hope you love this cozy living room as much as our clients do.
