An ideally sized rug for this simple dining room. Not only does the rug add a lot of color to this sparse space, it also helps to define the dining room as a separate area from the living room and home office, in this open floor-plan.

This entry way makes a bold statement right when you walk through the doors. The bookshelves are filled with family keepsakes and natural greenery. There are two paint colors with a subtle but noticeable difference that compliment each other and help define the large space. Brad Knipstein was the photographer.

The deck steps, with built in recessed lighting, span the entire width of the Trex deck and were designed to define the different outdoor rooms and to provide additional seating options when entertaining. Light brown custom cedar screen walls provide privacy along the landscaped terrace and compliment the warm hues of the decking.

A dining area is anchored by the placement of a dining table and dedicated lighting, creating a natural gathering point within the open layout. The lighting helps visually define the space while reinforcing its function, all without interrupting sightlines or openness. A compact work nook is integrated using a small desk paired with open shelving or a low partition. This provides a sense of separation and purpose while allowing light and visual flow to continue throughout the room. Together, these zones establish structure without closing off the space. Each area feels distinct and functional, yet remains part of a cohesive visual story—demonstrating how open floor plans can feel organized, intentional, and easy to live in.
