The large gathering area in this home is a open space for a lot of design features. A custom designed ceiling provides a conversation piece as well as the custom designed mirror application to the TV wall. Adding a bit of glamour, a chandelier ties the room together bouncing light around the space.

The full renovation of this 3-story home located in the gated Royal Oaks development in Houston, Texas is a complete custom creation. The client gave the designer carte blanche to create a unique environment, while maintaining an elegance that is anything but understated. Colors and patterns playfully bounce off of one another from room to room, creating an atmosphere of luxury, whimsy and opulence.

A warm, nature inspired master bathroom with clean lines and a peaceful ambiance. Bamboo cabinets, a soft color scheme, quartz countertops and a soaking tub help to achieve the client's goals. Glass tiles in a soothing palette were used vertically to bounce light and add texture. Also, the sleek fittings compliment the space's style. Design by April Force Pardoe Interiors.

This open concept floor plan was designed with the modern family in mind. This vantage from the kitchen shows how the family room, kitchen and dining area are all part of one great space, so you always feel like you're part of it all. High ceilings and light finishes keep things bright and airy and help bounce all the natural light flooding in from the large picture windows. Can we talk about that view?! We opted for black window trim to frame off the view just like a piece of art. Forgoing wood trim around the windows keeps this look clean and modern and lends to this effect. We could look at it all day long. Photo: Kerry Bern www.prepiowa.com

Our client was drawn to the look of subway tile but wanted just a little something extra. We recommended a beveled subway tile to import a different look witha added texture. The result, an ordinary tub/shower fiberglass surround turned extra ordinary by installing 4” x 8” white beveled tile. A beautifully cut sea glass tile border added a pop of color and completed the look. A great idea: we furnished and installed a curved shower rod to create additional space inside the shower for our clients. We typically furnish light/vent combination units in each shower to eliminate moisture. In this particular case, the ceiling light bounces off the beveled tile nicely providing the clean and dramatic feel our client was going for.
