Home owners Ken & Bonnie never used their dining room. What they really wanted was a traditional library room to house their large collection of prized books! During their first floor facelift and kitchen renovation, Advance Design also created an elegant library room filled with beautiful architectural details that flowed effortlessly with the rest of the home’s stately design and thoughtful details. “Advance Design’s master carpenter was a very patient perfectionist, cutting each and every little piece of trim until it came together with these intricate wood architectural details that we absolutely love!” reports Bonnie. “Our dining room was just a wasted room that we never used. We needed a place to store and display our extensive book collection, and now we have this amazing room that is an unexpected “wow” factor when guests walk in our front door”. Advance Design placed hidden lighting inconspicuously to break to monotony of the books in a decorative shelf area where the family posts photos of children and family at special life events. The room looks out over the beautifully manicured front garden near the home’s entry, and is a most peaceful place to pull up a chair, drink some tea, and enjoy a good read. Photographer: Joe Nowak

This corner of the home office / guest room highlights the balanced use of space - tall cabinets flank the sofa bed for maximum efficiencies. Neutral tones keep the room bright.

This young married couple enlisted our help to update their recently purchased condo into a brighter, open space that reflected their taste. They traveled to Copenhagen at the onset of their trip, and that trip largely influenced the design direction of their home, from the herringbone floors to the Copenhagen-based kitchen cabinetry. We blended their love of European interiors with their Asian heritage and created a soft, minimalist, cozy interior with an emphasis on clean lines and muted palettes.

I love the design of this side table. Purchased from All Modern, it was a very affordable option that complimented the bookshelf and the light wood tones of the floor. The woven lumbar pillow added just a touch of warmth and texture to the contrasting black leather side chair. Photo: Rebecca Quandt

Create a cozy reading nook with a plush armchair, soft lighting, and a bookshelf filled with your favorite novels. Add a warm, textured rug and a side table for a cup of tea, completing the perfect spot for relaxation.

The living room is flooded with natural light. Carefully curated floating shelves display a collection of objects within two niches carved from the wall.
