The open-concept condo could use some visual interest. The goal was to create a moody, modern yet cozy space. Inspired by our travels to Europe, we often referred to this style as Moody Mediterranean. We used warm wood tones, sand-colored tiles, and Dekton countertops, a strong man-made solid surface material that mimics travertine.

This historic home in Oak Park was in need of updating, with deferred maintenance inside and out requiring extensive work. This created an opportunity to rethink the house for a modern family in the 21st century, with an updated plan, a strong connection to the yard from the kitchen and new mudroom, covered patio, and flexible rooms for work-at-home, gym, or guest functions. The insulation and mechanical systems were upgraded to Phius levels, and a solar PV array added to meet annual net zero energy performance. With minimal upfront energy expenditure, the home’s operational carbon was reduced by 100%, and the house is a delightful place for the young family to grow into.

How to choose wall lamps? Special requirements: When displaying a piece of artwork on the wall, you can choose to use wall-mounted picture lights instead of spotlights. Compared to spotlights, wall lamps have their unique advantages. Wall lamps can be installed on the wall near the artwork, providing more natural and even lighting around the artwork without creating strong glare on the surface of the artwork. Spotlights, on the other hand, usually need to be installed above the artwork and may require the use of a light shield to control the direction and intensity of the light.
