This home office transforms into a guest bedroom. The mirror comes down and becomes the desk. The TV becomes the monitor for the computer/laptop to save space. The bedside table contains the file cabinet and a hidden printer. The sofa becomes a bed and has storage underneath for the bedding.

Inspiration for a contemporary home design remodel in Portland

In New York City every bit of space counts. The rear hall of this Upper West Side apartment was generous, but underutilized. Custom built-ins transformed a hallway into an office that can be shut out of site when work is done or company comes. The cabinetry contains a drop down desk, filing cabinets, storage for office and computer equipment, thin shelves for paperback books, and deep shelves for the display of art and objects brought back from the client’s trips abroad.

The kitchen was originally planned to mimic the location of appliances in her current kitchen to minimize re-learning of appliance locations. The only change was adding a trash cabinet between the fridge and the sink. A french door fridge allows someone in a wheelchair to easily access frozen and cold foods, while the water and ice dispenser on the outside of the door make it easy to stay hydrated rather than using the sink each time. She can roll up to the kitchen sink due to the recessed cabinetry under the sink or stand at counter height to put away dishes from the dishwasher. The dishwasher is ADA and very simple to use , and is raised off the floor so whether she is sitting or standing it's easier to reach. The gas cooktop has controls at the front making it easy to reach from the wheelchair and the exhaust fan above also has a control at the front. All cabinet door handles are D-shape, which makes them easy to grasp and there is plenty of electric outlets for charging phones, computers and small appliances. The kitchen island is table height at 30" so meal prep can be easily done in a wheelchair while guests and can be seated in a chair or wheelchair around the island. The dining chairs can also be turned around to add extra seating in the living room area. Pendant lights above the kitchen island light up the space, while recessed lighting in the kitchen and living room provide overall room lighting. There is also under cabinet lighting which makes the room glow at night! Wainscoting made of commercial grade material is strategically placed on sharp corners and exposed walls to reduce and minimize damage from the wheel chair, while creating a finished and complete look! We selected a free standing microwave to sit below the island, which is easy to use and is the same style as in her previous apartment. The island is 48" from the appliance wall, leaving ample space to open doors and maneuver around in the wheelchair and has easy access to the laundry area as well. We eliminated the pocket doors that had been in front of the laundry area for easy access, and since it was exposed, dressed it up with coordinating tile to the kitchen with additional cabinets above. There is a coordinating quartz counter on top of the washer and dryer for folding laundry or storing additional supplies.

This new homeowner desired a kitchen that was light and airy with some vintage undertones. Her dream for an island to prep food, eat and entertain came true when she purchased her new home. This large kitchen had so many wonderful features including a large sliding glass door, pantry, computer work area, and fire place. However there were some layout challenges. First the oddly shaped island did not allow easy access to the fridge if someone were sitting at the island. Secondly, her large family of six could not all dine together. My solution was to enlarge the island to seat six and omit the small kitchen table area in front of the fireplace. New light grey wall color, white subway tile back splash and light granite counter tops contribute to the light airy feel of their new kitchen. Vintage touches can be seen in the counter stools and island lighting. The clients are extremely happy with the 5' x 9' island. This kitchen truly is the heart of their home! Nina Leone Photography

My client a successful banker, ask for designs for his dining niche, study /guest room, master bedroom and bath. The room used as guest room/ study is small space approximately 11 feet by 11 feet. The room has cherry wood and green painted book shelving. files along one wall, a sleep sofa in front of the window wall covered in a soft light grey chenille fabric, and what was formally a small closet hides a pull out desk and TV. The room has a warm neutral oat meal color looped woven wall to wall wool carpeting and the walls are covered in a Donghia medium grey grass cloth. One shade from Conrad Shades spans and covers the two windows behind the sleep sofa. Ashod Kassabian

Family room right off the kitchen we added this beautiful, deep blue velvet couch from West Elm with a fun patterned neutral rug from Wayfair.com and a multiuse coffee table from West Elm. The top pops up so you can use it as a computer desk.

When our client came to us, she was stumped with how to turn her small living room into a cozy, useable family room. The living room and dining room blended together in a long and skinny open concept floor plan. It was difficult for our client to find furniture that fit the space well. It also left an awkward space between the living and dining areas that she didn’t know what to do with. She also needed help reimagining her office, which is situated right off the entry. She needed an eye-catching yet functional space to work from home. In the living room, we reimagined the fireplace surround and added built-ins so she and her family could store their large record collection, games, and books. We did a custom sofa to ensure it fits the space and maximized the seating. We added texture and pattern through accessories and balanced the sofa with two warm leather chairs. We updated the dining room furniture and added a little seating area to help connect the spaces. Now there is a permanent home for their record player and a cozy spot to curl up in when listening to music. For the office, we decided to add a pop of color, so it contrasted well with the neutral living space. The office also needed built-ins for our client’s large cookbook collection and a desk where she and her sons could rotate between work, homework, and computer games. We decided to add a bench seat to maximize space below the window and a lounge chair for additional seating.
