Bedroom - mid-sized modern master bedroom idea in Austin with white walls and a wood stove

If this beautiful modern kitchen had a catchphrase, it would be "go big, or go home!". With an expansive island, large light fixtures, oversized subway tile, and lengthy cabinet hardware, everything in this space is scaled perfectly to match the high ceilings and the spacious room. The magnificent fireplace is the perfect accent to this large, open concept space. Its modern look and cozy warmth are the glue that ties this space together. Weather hosting an elaborate dinner party, or enjoying movie night with the family, this space will bring the "wow" factor to all.

This design combined the 18th century luxury city dwelling style with some modern tones. The walls were given a yellow shade to bring a cozy warmth into the room. Stenciling was infused on to the walls to bring some subtle details. The chairs were reupholstered and repainted to give a nod to classical furniture but with a modern twist of color. Original dark wood moldings and shelving were maintained but to take away some of the darkness we painted the backing of the shelf the same warm yellow as the walls and introduced lights, so that the client could show case their family heirlooms and travel collections.

The overall goal of this family of six was to achieve a home where they could easily entertain their children’s friends. A sizable living room floor plan with tall ceilings and a 24-foot stacking glass door that opened to the backyard oasis created the ideal space for hosting gatherings of all sizes. The floor-to-ceiling fireplace wasn’t just eye-catching but added a cozy warmth that complemented the crisp white walls and stark lines throughout. Elegant touches included a floating ceiling with cove lighting detail, a travertine clad accent wall, and breathtaking hill country views.

There's pleasing symmetry to this gas fireplace that is flanked by windows. Located in the master bedroom it provides a cozy warmth to chilly nights.

The vision was simple yet profound: to seamlessly blend indoor comfort with the refreshing ambiance of the outdoors. And oh, did we deliver! With windows aplenty, our clients can now bask in natural sunlight and savor picturesque views without stepping a foot outside. For this project, we selected nothing but the best. We adorned the sunroom with exquisite Pella Architect Reserve windows, ensuring not just breathtaking vistas but also unparalleled quality and durability. And because comfort is paramount, we installed a state-of-the-art Ditra Heat Radiant floor system with a customizable thermostat, allowing for cozy warmth even on the chilliest of days. But let’s talk about style! The floor, a timeless canvas of classic black and white porcelain tiles, adds a touch of sophistication while effortlessly complementing the existing aesthetic of the home. It’s the perfect backdrop for lazy afternoons with a book or lively gatherings with loved ones.
