This Hendersonville living space was designed to feel polished, welcoming, and effortlessly livable, with a strong balance of classic forms and fresh color. A curved sectional anchors the room and encourages conversation while taking full advantage of the soaring ceiling and dramatic arched windows overlooking the water. Layered neutrals create a calm, timeless foundation, while the client’s love of red and blue is expressed through bold accent pillows, artwork, and accessories that bring energy and personality to the space. Art Deco influences show up in the sculptural lighting, curved silhouettes, and graphic patterns, adding a subtle sense of glamour without feeling overdone. Custom drapery frames the windows, and a deep blue fireplace surround serves as a striking focal point, resulting in a refined yet comfortable great room designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

Floor-to-ceiling curtains in a heavy fabric add drama and depth, emphasizing verticality while softening the bold color palette. Golden accents and a contrasting orange bedside table inject energy and personality into the space, balancing the masculine foundation with vibrant touches. At PIEKNO Studio, we bring layered design narratives to life - blending architectural thinking with elegant detailing, and tailoring every space to our client’s vision and lifestyle.

As per our client, “this house dates back to the turn of the century. It’s a shingle style, architectural design that emerged in the late-Victorian era as a bit of transition to the Arts & Crafts movement”. This house has been painstakingly renovated and preserved by our clients. It’s always an honor when you get to work on timeless homes like this.

Located on a flat, square, corner plot in a dense neighborhood comprised of small homes, this project was a blank canvas to create a landscape that is both an opportunity for community engagement as well as a peaceful space to recreate and entertain, while also expanding the living space on the property. The client is an avid surfer does volunteer work for the Surfrider Foundation, and he was inspire to build a landscape that fulfils Surfrider’s Ocean Friendly Garden program. We combined a mix of California natives with edible plants such as herbs and fruit trees. We created curvilinear beds outlined with rock and pebbles of ascending size to mimic the rock outcroppings of the local coastline. The veggie beds are made of rammed earth—a tradition natural building technique that uses, mud, sand and a small amount of cement. With fruits and flowers hanging into the sidewalk, this garden allows for friendly neighborhood interaction as well as a more-intimate area for this client to relax and entertain in. *Images captured at 1-year and 3-years after

We began by lightening the space up with a whole unit paint job and lighter engineered wood floors. This lighter space gave us a great foundation for the relaxing feel the client wanted. To address the irregular room shape, we use a layered rug approach. We perched a new relaxing cushy sectional with a chaise to allow for optimal visibility and flow in the space. The natural tone wood coffee table grounded the family room space. The swivel chair allows for enjoying the beautiful city views as well as conversing within the space. We utilized the existing ripple fold hardware and installed new blue/gray custom ripple fold draperies. Accent furniture, art and accessories finish off the soft transitional look with beach-inspired colors featuring the client's unique art.

Since 2010, our studio has been designing interiors for investors, developers, and commercial property owners, focused on elevating market appeal, asset valuation, and competitive edge. Inspired by their global travels, the clients envisioned constructing four short-term luxury rental villas within their private estate in Greenville, South Carolina. The interiors were meant to capture a distinct regional flavor without relying on literal historicism, defining four directional concepts: Japan, Persia, the Nordic, and the Mediterranean. Each of these four interior projects was developed by our studio under strict structural constraints. As a foundation for the interior spaces, the clients provided a traditional South Carolina architectural template featuring multiple pitched roofs and a rigid, immutable floor plan that remained identical across all four villas planned for the site. While this approach ensured a cohesive exterior for the entire complex, it posed a significant challenge for the interior design of each villa..
