Bedroom - traditional bedroom idea in Los Angeles

The exterior of what looks like a vernacular Hamptons shingle cottage, designed by architect Blaze Makoid, is intentionally deceiving. For the interiors, Axis Mundi typically decided not to play by the rules. Instead of de rigeur nautical artifacts, floppy sofas and wicker furniture, the firm responded to Makoid’s all-white interior envelope by injecting rooms with comfortable modern elegance that’s more contemporary Cap Ferrat than Eastern Long Island. Clean furniture silhouettes—from Cassina, Poltrona Frau and B&B Italia—a Massimo Vitali beach scene, a Moooi chandelier and industrial finishes (such as the steel of the fireplace surround and the anodized aluminum of a sleek Bulthaup kitchen) spark a creative tension between indoors and out. The gray palette provides a quiet backdrop for the nature outside, except for the master suite, where custom oak panels and blue shades create a reassuring warmth conducive to sleep.

The Taylor sofa by Dellarobbia is a truly amazing update to classic mid-century designs of the fifties. The metal base has slightly flared legs that follow the angle of the sharp sides,, which contrast with the soft curves of the inner cushions. The base looks best in a contrasting fabric to the cushions. The deep tight seating area is deceivingly comfortable. The Taylor offers several configurable pieces to get the perfect seating arrangement. The Taylor can be upholstered in many fabric and microfiber selections. Manufactured By Dellarobbia.

Part of an extensive home remodel, this kitchen design was born of one man’s love of all things Harley Davidson. Color inspiration came from the client’s own cherished bike which was a stunning combination of matte black and brushed steel. The client’s wish was to have a large open area in which he could “be one with his guests” when hosting large gatherings. Cabinets, hardware and appliances all in black allow the focus to be on the beauty of the larger architectural elements as a whole. Included along the main storage wall is a hidden 42” refrigerator, dual pull-out pantries, and extra wide drawers below a pair of upper cabinets with matte black glass fold-up doors that open & close automatically via servo-drive technology. The new island - which measures just shy of 16 ½ feet! - is a true central point around which all action revolves. Wide walkways on either side provide ease of flow for multiple sous chefs and guests alike. A textured cypress soffit above the island was designed to house the modern hood and also create a feeling of unity as it is the same size as the island below. Textured cypress wood also wraps matte black cabinetry and lines the main wall, changing grain direction to provide visual interest. The 5’ Galley Workstation is a multi-functional marvel, easily transitioning from prep station to serving surface to clean-up with the addition of its built-in accessories. Placing an undercounter wine refrigerator on the back side of the island makes it easy for guests at the bar to help themselves. Close to the bar seating area, a 42” flat screen tv fits perfectly flush in the wall, practically disappearing when not in use. Unique details include a large display cabinet with a metal framed front & side crafted out of steel by a local artisan. The glass is 2-way mirror so when the interior light is off, the treasure is concealed inside. The interior is painted in the trademark Harley orange. Above a modern dining table, a one-of-a-kind chandelier was created from 3 bike helmets, painted in Harley orange by a local automobile detail shop. The interiors are finished in metallic silver for extra glow. Adjacent to the Kitchen, and initially deceiving in its simplicity, the main tv wall was quite complex and challenging to realize. It has a convex curve from left to right and slopes back from floor to ceiling. The interior hollow space created room for a shallow tv niche on top and partially recessed deep media storage cabinets below. The planning and framing involved to create the proper compound miter connections required extra diligence from the designers and builder, but the finished product was worth the effort!

By smoothing the curve of the wall and redesigning the hand railing, we were able to create an entranceway that drew your eyes upwards. This would not have been possible without a Design Build team. While designing the custom angled scoop in the wall, and a custom recessed handrail, the biggest question for our team was “how do we actually build this”? We couldn’t find any examples that matched exactly what we envisioned, so our Design Build team found their own way! It was a collaborative and efficient effort; the biggest reward was making these deceivingly complex shapes feel effortless. Perhaps even more impressive is our completely seamless recessed hand railing!

The Dove White Glaze is one of our most popular traditional style cabinets for those searching for white cabinets with a glaze. The door style is a raised panel beautified with a hand drawn dark brown glaze. Similar to our White and Grey Shaker, what makes this line unique is the door is made from a one piece solid wood which means not only does it look clean and sleek; it is not prone to the issue white colored cabinets suffer from shrinkage and expansion. The most common issue for white cabinets with a five piece construction is when there is shrinkage or expansion, the lines from the joint or seams will be distorted and noticeable, but this does not happen in our Dove White Glaze cabinets due to the door being a one piece construction. Alone, the cabinets look gorgeous, but when combined with crown molding, decorative fillers, and other accessories, you must see it to believe how magnificent they truly look. Other great ideas to spruce up your kitchen with traditional style cabinets include: a high low or staggered height wall cabinet, decorative doors, different array of islands with pillars/columns, or even adding the cabinets in your bathroom and laundry room. The quality does not just stop at the door. If we dive deeper into this cabinet line, we will see that the cabinet comes with soft close hinges and drawer glides, dovetailed full extension drawers, a full piece plywood back panel, and 5/8” plywood box. Do not let the low price for the quality you are receiving deceive you. The low cost is possible only because we own the factory and only supply ourselves to bring homeowners quality & uniqueness at an affordable price. Don’t just take our word for it, order a sample door here and you be the judge!

Looks can be deceiving. While these raised-panel Amarr Heritage doors feature the aesthetics of a wood door, they are in fact heavy-gauge steel doors that are durable and require little maintenance. The dual direction woodgrain in "Golden Oak" creates a traditional look, which is completed with the addition of handles and hinges.

This 3-Season Room addition to my client's house is the perfect extension of their interior. A fresh and bright palette brings the outside in, giving this family of 4 a space they can relax in after a day at the pool, or gather with friends for a cocktail in front of the fireplace. And no! Your eyes are not deceiving you, we did seaglass fabric on the upholstery for a fun pop of color! The warm gray floors, white walls, and white washed fireplace is a great neutral base to design around, but desperately calls for a little color.
