Few color combos can compete against a duo as dynamic as grey and yellow, so we gave this pair extra crowd-pleasing flair in our Lorelai collection. A shelter arm sofa elevates the golden couple, with a button tufted back and bright pillows working together to make these winning hues look better than ever. Their chemistry heats up on the mid-century accent chair and reaches its ultra-chic peak on a hand-woven wool rug that’s dripping in diamond shapes.

The house was a new construction built in the woods of Yosemite. The style of the house is very contemporary, and has a lot of full height windows all around the house to bring the nature from the outside into the house. The style of the kitchen fits the contemporary style of the house. At the same time, the white color finish of the kitchen cabinets and the shiny surface allows the kitchen to blend nicely and not compete with the surroundings of the house. The shiny surface of the door style also brings the reflections of the outside into the house.
Door Style Finish: Alno Sign in the Star Line System. High gloss lacquer door style, part of the handle-less system of Alno that has no handles. This is a contemporary door style and the handle-less system helps to emphasize the contemporary style of the kitchen.

Wanting to highlight their extensive collection of artifacts from their world travels but not wanting to take up valuable wall space needed for their art, a great art niche was created at the top of the stair well. Floating shelves, with spot lights underneath showcase the one-of-kind pieces.

For this primary bedroom redesign, the client envisioned a retreat that would provide a sense of escape and tranquility. The room was designed with a moody atmosphere, blending deep, rich colors that envelop the space in a cocoon of comfort. Color drenching was used on the walls, creating a seamless flow of hues that added depth and warmth. A stunning mural wallpaper became a focal point, its intricate design bringing an artistic, yet serene element to the room. To elevate the ambiance, a statement light fixture was carefully selected, adding a touch of luxury and drawing attention upward. Every element was thoughtfully curated to transform the space into a peaceful sanctuary, offering both beauty and relaxation in equal measure.

Warm, Natural & Quietly Luxurious — Primary Bathroom Remodel | Raleigh, NC
This primary bathroom remodel is a masterclass in restraint. No loud statements, no trend-chasing — just a beautifully considered combination of natural materials, soft color, and hardware that ties it all together. The result feels like a boutique hotel bathroom that also happens to feel completely personal.
The vanity is the anchor of the space. Custom white oak cabinetry in a warm, medium-toned stain brings natural grain and texture to the room without competing with anything around it. Brushed brass hardware — bar pulls with decorative rosette ends — reads elevated without being fussy. White quartz countertops with soft veining sit cleanly above, and a large arched black-framed mirror grounds the wall in a shape that echoes the soft, organic tone of the whole room. Flanking the mirror, a pair of sage green and gold wall sconces add a layer of unexpected color that feels completely right — designer without being obvious.
The shower is where this project truly shines. Floor-to-ceiling sea glass green linear tile wraps every wall in a luminous, slightly irregular pattern that catches light beautifully. Brushed brass fixtures — a hand shower, slide bar, grab bars, and frameless sliding door hardware — run throughout, keeping the palette tight. Two built-in niches lined with arabesque marble mosaic tile provide both function and a moment of pattern within the serene field of green. A quartz bench seat and large-format floor tile with a center drain complete the enclosure with the same calm intentionality found everywhere else.
Live-edge floating shelves in rich, burl-patterned wood add warmth to the open wall space, styled with a mix of black iron candleholders, organic wooden objects, and natural accessories. Every detail — down to the wooden tray and hand-thrown vase on the vanity — was chosen to feel grounded, tactile, and lived-in.

The owners came to Klopf Architecture with a clear vision: Create a brighter home with clean lines and visual surprises – but that enhances the Eichler vernacular – that blurs the boundaries between inside and outside and supports “modern living”.
Renovating a 1962 Eichler home into a contemporary, higher-quality home required more than a few changes. However, love of the Eichler style and respect for the house's history required keeping many elements. Klopf Architecture partnered with the owners of this Eichler home in San Francisco's Diamond Heights to balance these two competing desires while significantly updating their 2-story courtyard home on a hill.
Appropriate to the style of the house, the owners have a clean, minimal aesthetic – free of clutter but filled with carefully placed art and whimsical collectibles. With white walls, warm mahogany and rich grays throughout, the home is bathed in light and feels both elegant and welcoming.

We were very blessed to work with these clients who came to us with a wooded lot in North Saanich and wanted to create a home for themselves that worked with their lifestyle and aesthetic. Both clients are avid bikers and kayakers and wanted to be able to get out and enjoy the outdoors and be able to feel like they lived in the wilderness of B.C. We completed as little tree removal as necessary, including putting effort into maintaining the fern and salal landscape that encompassed the woodlands surrounding the project. Staging area for construction and material storage were also limited, and scheduling the subtrades for their work was tight, but with competent site management, we left the site in a natural state. The energy efficiency was close to net zero, but the solar component and the proximity of the many trees made it difficult to attain a complete net zero level. We included a 6” rock wool exterior insulation layer around the entire home, under-slab insulation and other key items to maximize the efficiency of the living areas. Additional seismic components were also included to increase the longevity of the home and protection of the occupants should a seismic event occur.

"TaylorPro completely remodeled our master bathroom. We had our outdated shower transformed into a modern walk-in shower, new custom cabinets installed with a beautiful quartz counter top, a giant framed vanity mirror which makes the bathroom look so much bigger and brighter, and a wood ceramic tile floor including under floor heating. Kerry Taylor also solved a hot water problem we had by installing a recirculating hot water system which allows us to have instant hot water in the shower rather than waiting forever for the water to heat up.
From start to finish TaylorPro did a professional, quality job. Kerry Taylor was always quick to respond to any question or problem and made sure all work was done properly. Bonnie, the resident designer, did a great job of creating a beautiful, functional bathroom design combining our ideas with her own. Every member of the TaylorPro team was professional, hard-working, considerate, and competent. Any remodeling project is going to be somewhat disruptive, but the TaylorPro crew made the process as painless as possible by being respectful of our home environment and always cleaning up their mess at the end of the day. I would recommend TaylorPro Design to anyone who wants a quality project done by a great team of professionals. You won't be disappointed!"

This run of the mills 1950 Rambler in Fairfax city area is in a desired need of a facelift.
The retiring homeowner wanted to stay in their old neighborhood while desiring to uplift their droopy front elevation and compete with rest of new comers in their neighborhood.
Through several design consultation and lots of changes, our design staff has presented her with a final draft.

• We designed implemented a new covered front porch with trex flooring and stone columns with tarped tops, beaded panel ceiling, recess lights and ceiling fan, perfect place for couple rockers to hang outdoor and enjoy the view.
• The entire three sides of the house were covered with veneer water table stone and hardie plank siding with a jade green and a complementary shaker siding on the gables.
• Adding tow gable over the garage and the left elevation has changed the entire front elevation
• The new arts & Craft wooden garage door and front door uplifted the street appearance and given it a much-desired country look
• The entire roofing was changed up with Architectural shingles and trimmed and new gable, then painted the old brick walls to compliment the new Hardie sidings.

In the ever expanding market of multi-family residential projects, we were approached with one main goal - create a luxury hospitality experience to rival any name brand destination a patron would aspire to visit. 7SeventyHouse is positioned on the West side of Hoboken amongst an emerging set of developments transforming the previously industrial section of the city. In order to compete with other signature properties not only is 7SeventyHouse ‘a brand new residential collection that is more a destination than simply a home’ BUT as a resident ‘you are a part of something bigger; a community thriving on tranquility, sustainability, innovation and a holistic approach to everyday living’. See, we nailed it (or so says the savvy marketing team paid to bring people to the property).

This 18th-century French-inspired mansion features three magnificent, curved staircases that complement the home's luxurious character. Each staircase blends forged iron railings with contemporary white oak components, creating a transitional aesthetic that bridges classical elegance and modern refinement. The staircases rise through grand spaces adorned with custom crystal chandeliers and surrounded by exceptional architectural finishes. Large windows frame outdoor views, while the curved forms of the stairs add graceful movement to the grand interiors. Together, these three staircases demonstrate how thoughtful craftsmanship can enhance rather than compete with a home's opulent surroundings.

For those interested in refreshing their space, Staging Beautifully can assist a homeowner in decorating their home with the items they already own and love.

This will result in a complete interior transformation which will reflect your personality, style, comfort and functionality to your living space without having to buy anything.
Looking to sell your home, consider home staging to target a higher selling price. Home Staging aims to de-personalize your home and make it appealing to virtually all prospective buyers. The way you live in your home and the way you market your home are two very different things. Your home is competing with every other home on the market. A home that looks like it needs work or isn't move-in ready prompts buyers to low-ball their offers, or eliminate your home from consideration all together. Those homes that are staged to reflect current trends attract and appeal to more buyers, resulting in more offers, faster sales, and higher sale prices. Sometimes, an agent may even recommend your price be increased once your home is staged! A well-staged home can even start a bidding war with multiple offers!
