Example of an eclectic living room design in Denver

From blah to ahhhh. Updated decor coordinated with existing gold sofa and bamboo dining set. Window coverings were coordinated during construction so that the track hardware is not visible. Designer: Michelle Turner, UDCP NOTE: This condo is a vacation rental on the island of Maui.

The master bath was a complete remodel. The original tub was a corner tub that included only a tile backsplash. We completely relocated the tub and tiled all the way to the ceiling including a beautiful deco band on the wall and another one as a backsplash. We used a quartz for the tub deck and continued the dry floor material for the tub face. We re plumbed to change the location for the tub faucet and replaced with a new one. We added a beautiful crystal chandelier over the tub. The master shower had a 45 degree angle and we took that out and squared it up. The shower and the tub are on the same wall, so we continued the tile all the way to the ceiling. We used a parallel pony wall and put glass on top so that you would have an open shower feel. We replaced all the plumbing valves and fixtures, this shower has a rain head, body jets and a removable sprayer. We were able to enlarge the footprint of the tub a little by squaring it off and not having that angle. We replaced the his and her vanities, added a quartz counter top drop in sinks and new plumbing fixtures, coordinating cabinetry hardware, lighting and mirrors. We replaced the door to the linen closet and lavatory and added new hardware. We replaced the mirrored sliding closet doors with barn doors with decorative hardware and added mirrors inside each closet. We added a “rug” made out of the same decorative tile as a beautiful feature. We took out all the soffits and drywalled to the ceiling. We finished with a fresh new coat of coordinating paint.

Splash your bath with fine furniture details to create a coordinated and relaxing atmosphere. With a variety of configuration choices, each bathroom vanity console can be designed to cradle a single, double or offset sink basin. A matching linen cabinet can be selected with a deep drawer for towels and paper items, and a convenient full-length mirror for a dressing area. For this vanity, stately beveled legs accent the beveled details of the cabinet door style, but any combination of Dura Supreme’s many door styles, wood species, and finishes can be selected to create a one-of-a-kind bath furniture collection. A centered console provides plenty of space on both sides of the sink, while drawer stacks resemble a furniture bureau. This luxurious bathroom features Dura Supreme’s “Style Two” furniture series. Style Two offers 15 different configurations (for single sink vanities, double sink vanities, or offset sinks) with multiple decorative bun foot options to create a personal look. A matching bun foot detail was chosen to coordinate with the vanity and linen cabinets. The bathroom has evolved from its purist utilitarian roots to a more intimate and reflective sanctuary in which to relax and reconnect. A refreshing spa-like environment offers a brisk welcome at the dawning of a new day or a soothing interlude as your day concludes. Our busy and hectic lifestyles leave us yearning for a private place where we can truly relax and indulge. With amenities that pamper the senses and design elements inspired by luxury spas, bathroom environments are being transformed from the mundane and utilitarian to the extravagant and luxurious. Bath cabinetry from Dura Supreme offers myriad design directions to create the personal harmony and beauty that are a hallmark of the bath sanctuary. Immerse yourself in our expansive palette of finishes and wood species to discover the look that calms your senses and soothes your soul.

This luxury bespoke wine cabinet was custom-made by Acorn for a residence in Sutton, Surrey. Our clients, who collect and enjoy fine wine, commissioned us to create a dedicated wine storage unit that combined exceptional functionality in an impressive statement piece. The resulting cabinet provides tailored storage and display in a stunning finish that coordinates with the interior décor style of the house. It is built-in to the bespoke floor to ceiling wall panelling we installed in the hallway. The wall panels cleverly conceal cupboard storage for clothing, footwear and other accessories. Creating hidden doors using wooden wall panels adds storage to the entrance hall while maintaining a beautifully, cohesive, streamlined look. Bespoke wine cabinet The distinctive tailormade wine cabinet features made to measure wine racks, horizontal bottle holders and shelving. The large doors are made of toughened glass sitting within a solid oak frame. While ensuring the wine bottles are stored in the correct position, the cabinet has turned an underutilised space into an eye-catching display feature in the entrance hall and when viewed from the dining table area. Integrated LED lighting adds ambience and highlights the collection. You can view more of our tailored lighting designs here. Oak room divider doors We also handcrafted a pair of coordinated minimalist oak partition doors that lead into the dining room area. Internal room divider doors are a superb way to create distinct spaces and separate rooms. The doors give our clients control over how they use their living space and can be opened to allow freedom of movement and create a sense of space or closed to provide privacy and a cosy atmosphere. The doors are designed to blend seamlessly into the cabinetry when opened giving the impression of there being no doors at all. Oak cabinetry with a graphite stain finish The oak cabinetry has been flawlessly finished with a graphite wood stain and satin lacquer, which gives the surface a premium and protective hardwearing finish. The grey stain allows the beauty of the wood’s natural grain to show through while also adding depth and character, creating a contemporary rustic aesthetic. The deep grey colour is an up to date neutral with a refined, high-end appearance; and this dark shade brings sophistication and drama to the entrance hall, while also making a stunning backdrop to the illuminated wine cabinet.

Our clients came to us after recently purchasing this 1967 home in the lovely Spring Creek neighborhood. They originally considered adding on to the master bedroom or possibly putting an addition above the garage. After all considerations, they decided to work within the existing sq. ft. of the home. They wanted to update their kitchen, they needed to add an office, as she works from home and they wanted consistent flooring throughout the front of the house. They had a small galley kitchen that you could enter from the front formal living/dining room or from the other end but it was completely closed off to the main living area, other than a small window. They really wanted to open it up but worried it might be too opened up. In addition to adding new ceiling height cabinets, they wanted to completely gut this outdated kitchen and start over with a cleaner, simpler looking kitchen. They had trouble envisioning what their space would look like opened up, so using our technology and being able to show them a rendering and being able to do a virtual walk-through, really helped them see their future. We demoed the entire kitchen and all of the flooring throughout the kitchen, family room, living room and formal living room. We removed most of the wall that closed off the kitchen to the living room, with the exception of the half wall that became part of the new island. The doorway that used to go between the formal dining and kitchen was closed off, creating more kitchen wall space and allowing an office to be added at the back of the formal dining that could be closed off, when needed. White Chandler cabinets were installed with beautiful Macaubus Giotto Quartzite countertops. Our clients chose to install a spice pull out and utensil caddy pull out on either side of the oven and a tray pull out for cookie sheets, as well. A wooden vent-hood was also built by Chandler, creating a nice contrast to the white cabinets. Matte black Stanton pulls and Elara knobs were installed coordinating with the Forge Industrial Pendant Island lights and the Doster Dome kitchen table pendant. A Kohler vault Smart Divide®top-/under-mount double-equal bowl kitchen sink was installed in the island with a Kohler Simplice kitchen faucet, also in matte black. Detailed posts were added to each corner on the back side of the island, giving it a more custom finished look. In the formal dining room, a 4-light Forge Industrial Island Light was installed, which coordinated with the two pendant lights above the island. Adjacent to the living room was an office/wet bar area, leading to the back porch. We replaced the existing wet bar with a new cabinet and countertop and faucet, matching the kitchen and installed a wine refrigerator, too. Hardwood floors were installed throughout the entire front of the house, tying it all together. Recessed lighting was installed throughout the dining room, living room and kitchen, really giving the space some much needed light. A fresh coat of paint to top it all off really brightened up the space and gave our clients exactly what they were wanting.

The goal for the foyer was to deliver a true “wow factor” the moment you step through the door. We selected a bold tropical-inspired wallpaper that set the tone for the home—fun, vibrant, and masculine. This high-energy backdrop was balanced with existing architectural features while introducing key updates for impact. We kept the client’s console table but paired it with a statement mirror that echoes the organic movement of the wallpaper, ensuring cohesion. The chandelier was chosen for its multidimensional glass tones, playing beautifully against the wallpaper and tying together surrounding finishes. A natural jute rug grounds the space, complementing the existing hardwood floors with warmth and texture. The stairs were refreshed with a patterned carpet that coordinates seamlessly with the upstairs hallway. Updated railings—painted posts with stained tops and iron balusters—elevate the overall look. For function, we designed a custom built-in baby gate that blends effortlessly with the updated railings, a perfect solution for a growing family. To extend the design story, the hallway carries coordinating vinyl grasscloth wallpaper, adding depth and texture without overwhelming the space.

The client’s goal for this makeover was to create a clean style with a contemporary vibe in her cold empty bedroom. The client’s main focus for the design was to block the morning sun that woke her up long before she wanted to begin her day. Problem(s) addressed: The room was void of furnishings, bedding and accessories. The décor consisted of a mattress, box spring, jewelry chest and an old comforter, and therefore had no inspirational piece from which to begin the design. We were literally starting from scratch. As for the morning sun dilemma, I was excited to come up with a better solution to the sun challenge than her temporary solution of stacking towels in the arch window. Solution provided: Furnishings were the first priority. Rich espresso-stained contemporary dresser, gentleman’s chest and nightstands began the design. Next, a leopard print upholstered chaise was selected to sit in front of the double arched window providing a place to read, work on a laptop, and listen to music or just lounge. Two faux leather ottomans were selected to perch at the end of the bed. Custom bedding and color scheme was next on the list. The client had requested a restful color palette, which fell into place when we found the perfect heather-gray, gold and cream hued bed ensemble. With the bedding selected, a coordinating wall paint and gold velvet fabric was chosen for the upholstered headboard. To solve the clients early morning wake up call, traversing draperies that are installed above the window arch were designed to shut out the morning sun. The inverted French pleat draperies, with their color block design, enhance the room’s clean contemporary style. Brushed silver hardware with cracked crystal finials coordinated the furniture hardware and added a touch of sophistication. Finally, a combination of elegant lighting, mixed media art, an area rug and accessories finish the room’s contemporary design.

For this vacation home, a complete gut job was needed in order to fit the lifestyle and needs of this young family of four and their guests. The narrow floor plan created unique challenges, but we maximized its full potential. The result was a warm but modern design with plenty of storage and seating. One of the biggest challenges was making sure everyone had a place to sit in the kitchen. The space between the kitchen and staircase was limiting, but with sleek modern chairs that tuck away, we were able to allow for traffic patterns and seat all of the children. To accommodate any vacation extras, an extra wide space near the kitchen and bathroom was transformed into additional shelving. We installed floor-to-ceiling cabinets that offer plenty of space for everyone’s belongings. A clean design was a must, so we opted for a more modern look. We used Benjamin Moore's "Simply White" as the foundation, putting it on the walls and cabinets, and coordinating the countertops and backsplash. To make the home more welcoming, we used natural wood on the island and floating shelves. The wood was coordinated with the floor, creating a cohesive interior.

Area rugs are known to warm up rooms, while complimenting hardwood floors. They provide softness for sound absorption, and create texture and comfort. This carpet was made from plush cut broadloom. The pattern was selected from numerous choices available, and the colors were chosen to compliment the existing furnishings in the room. This is a “one-of-a-kind carpet”, made specifically for this client. The rug anchors everything in the room together, including the sofa fabric, the chairs’ fabric, and the window treatment’s fabric. This custom designed rug simplifies shopping for area rugs using and coordinating with the exact colors of the room. The pattern design & colors are sculpted into the main carpet color. All of the chosen colors naturally coordinate with everything together in the room.

In this recently completed project, we reimagined the interiors of a former architect’s DC condo, curating a stylish and functional living and dining experience. The open-plan layout now features a cohesive blend of form and function furniture selections curated exclusively, and the dining space is anchored by stainless steel-framed custom DC photograph. This dining area also seating five, and sits perpendicular to a new window-wall bar cabinet we supplied, accompanied by coordinating bar stools for casual entertaining Just beyond, the terrace was upgraded with elegant evergreen planters, a propane firepit, and a tilting umbrella that echoes the indoor-outdoor harmony. Evening ambiance will be enhanced with an LED strip light installed beneath the parapet for a warm, glowing atmosphere. The transformation continues into the private spaces, where the primary suite now boasts a chic sitting room outfitted with a sleeper sofa, swivel chairs, curated art, and built-in cabinetry for added utility. The primary bedroom itself is wrapped in serene textures and tones, featuring a plush gray velvet bed, coordinating nightstands, stone-and-crystal lamps, and a soft area rug that grounds the space in comfort. Additional rooms in the condo received updates as well—those will be revealed soon in the next design showcase. Stay tuned!
