Custom window treatment created by Janet Kelly Originals, the curved architecture of the walls, multiple windows with casement openings and the fact that the walls are curved presents a window challenge. The box pleat valance and the draperies (that function on a curved traverse rod) is continuous mount to compliment and not compete with the curves within the space.

Living room - large contemporary formal and loft-style dark wood floor living room idea in Montreal with gray walls, a standard fireplace, a plaster fireplace and a concealed tv

The deep enveloping blue on the walls create a cozy feeling for this dining room. I love how you can see the living room space and the sunroom from the dining room. We created a seamless design so that all of these spaces work together without competing with one another.

With a view like this, why would you want the furnishings to compete? Keep it simple and expansive so the trees and the 2nd green across the street take center stage. You can't help but notice the gorgeous windows (left bare on purpose) and wonderful wood ceiling to bring Nature in.

here we needed to handle two focal points as the homeowners did not want the tv over the fireplace. the fireplace surround design needed to consider the beautiful beams and the small windows on the sides it was decided to create a strong center and let everything around it enhance the ambiance . the wall unit was designed around the tv and was painted as the wall color with walnut movable dividers to complete the other walls rather than competing with them

This large, devout family in West LA hired us to make their new construction, storybook traditional home dreams come true. And we had such a joy in working with them and love the end result. Small touches of contemporary lighting and art make the space feel updated and fresh, while materials and forms of the furnishings lent themselves to a truly timeless result. The basketweave backsplash lends beautiful interest while not competing with the cabinet design. We love a good traditional design, and had a wonderful time with this project and these clients.

We designed a playful, Bohemian style for this guest bedroom. The ivory linen Roman Shades don't compete with the focal point wall. The mustard chair is a great spot to read before bed or lay out clothes for the day.

For this kitchen, designed by Peter Bittner, the client had a very clear idea of what she wanted right from the start. She did her research. The mother of a fast growing, young family, she wanted something as efficient as it was beautiful – on the simple, yet elegant side. Her requests were straightforward: white and light grey Bilotta cabinetry in a transitional style so as not to compete with the detailing inside her 1950s Tudor-style home; a heated tile floor (By Rye Ridge Tile); stainless appliances; white subway tile backsplash by Walker Zanger (again to keep it clean and not compete with its surroundings); and seating at the island for snacks and homework. The “pop” suggested by Peter was done through the satin brass hardware and lighting fixtures. The real challenge with this space was to fit as much as possible into the existing footprint which was overall on the smaller side. The solution was eliminating a doorway (with a swinging door that opened into the kitchen) and stairs from the kitchen to the basement. By moving the stairs and doorway, the usable space increased considerably. The typical working triangle became the focus for one side of the kitchen and the island overhang and seating became available on the other side. To make up for the limited amount of wall cabinets Peter designed shallow pantry-style cabinets along the back wall. Quartz Countertops by Rom Stone Fabrication.

Stan Sachley design circa "1980" The architect clearly understood the proper use of space and light, while still respecting earlier mid-century desert architecture. The floors were kept clean and polished, as not to compete with the existing split travertine which ran through glass walls. This effect, blurred the indoor/outdoor living spaces. Finishes selected, were chosen to highlight a more refined and modern environment.
