Our clients wanted to build an outdoor living area complete with fire feature, dining area, and TV entertainment. This project was built to look original-to-the-home and provide a large seating area with plenty of shade for enjoyment. The covered patio shades the majority of the backyard patio area, leaving the fire feature area open to star gazing in the evening. Sparkling and shimmering, decorative glass is the perfect medium for this lovely fire feature! The polished capstone along the perimeter of the fire feature provides additional seating for those captivated by its beauty and warmth. Tongue and Groove ceiling is a beautiful enhancement to this patio cover. An outdoor TV is wired in the living area of this patio cover, bringing the entertainment outdoors! A large farm-style dining table is perfectly placed in the middle of patio for an outdoor dining experience. Needless to say, the space underneath this patio cover is wonderfully utilized. Recessed lighting illuminates the patio in the evening while appealing column lanterns begin to light the backyard. Ceilings fan are an ideal addition to any outdoor space.

Located in Argyle, Texas, this comprehensive whole-home renovation was conceived by USI Design & Remodeling who reimagined the home's interior architecture, transforming a collection of compartmentalized rooms into a cohesive environment designed for modern living, entertaining, and daily comfort. The project encompassed the kitchen, family room, dining room, lounge, office, primary bathroom, and supporting circulation spaces, creating a unified experience that feels both expansive and intentional. Throughout the home, refined materials, custom millwork, and carefully curated finishes establish a sense of understated luxury while maintaining warmth and livability. At the heart of the renovation is a completely reconfigured kitchen and gathering space designed around functionality, hospitality, and visual connection. Architectural barriers were removed to improve sightlines and circulation, allowing the kitchen, dining, and family spaces to function as a single integrated living environment. A dramatic five-foot workstation sink anchors the kitchen, while custom cabinetry and furniture-inspired details elevate the space beyond conventional residential design. Adjacent to the kitchen, the former pantry, laundry, and service corridor were reimagined as a hybrid scullery and utility suite, creating a highly functional support space that discreetly accommodates food preparation, storage, organization, and household operations without compromising the elegance of the primary living areas. The renovation extends beyond aesthetics to create a home tailored to the family's evolving needs. The primary bathroom was transformed into a spa-inspired retreat, while the lounge, office, and dining spaces were redesigned to support both everyday living and entertaining. Consistent architectural detailing, layered textures, and thoughtful proportions establish continuity throughout the residence, allowing each room to feel connected to the larger design narrative. The result is a sophisticated yet approachable home that balances practical performance with timeless design, delivering a renewed living experience that is both highly functional and distinctly luxurious.

This small Ranch Style house was gutted and completely renovated and opened up to produce a truly indoor-outdoor experience. Panoramic Doors were essential to that end. Most of the house, including what was previously an enclosed Kitchen, now share the views out to the private rear yard and garden.

At HOC, a trusted interior design studio and acclaimed as one of the best interior designers in Delhi NCR, we believe every dining experience deserves a space that’s both inviting and exquisitely styled. This modern dining area perfectly embodies that vision. The centerpiece is a stunning white marble dining table, its natural veining adding texture and character to the room. Positioned slightly angled toward you, it invites connection and conversation. Resting gracefully on the table is a dark glass vase filled with a delicate bouquet of peach-toned and white flowers—an elegant touch that softens the space. Accompanying the vase are two dark-toned glasses and a bottle of rich brown liquor, subtly suggesting warmth and hospitality. Two light brown leather chairs flank the table, blending comfort with understated sophistication. Above, a framed cityscape artwork in muted grays, browns, and soft oranges complements the taupe-grayish beige textured wall, bringing depth and personality to the room without overwhelming the calm, balanced atmosphere. Soft, diffused lighting washes the space evenly, highlighting the luxurious details like the intricate marble veining and the carefully curated accessories. The overall palette—beiges, grays, and muted earthy tones—creates a serene and refined setting that feels both peaceful and welcoming. Designed with thoughtful symmetry and a slightly elevated perspective, this dining space is a testament to HOC’s commitment to crafting interiors that are as functional as they are beautiful, making every moment here truly special.

Experience the latest renovation by TK Homes with captivating design by Jessica Koltun Home. The mid century inspired color palette of textured whites and contrasting dark colors flow throughout the wide-open floor plan features a formal dining, dedicated study, and Kitchen Aid Appliance Chef's kitchen with 36in gas range, and hidden pantry. Designer amenities include white oak millwork, marble tile, and a high end lighting, plumbing, & hardware.

Removal of the walls that separated a once tiny kitchen from the dining room was like that feeling of relief when you unbutton those far too tight pants at the end of the day. It opened up the core of the house, let the daylight flood in, and provided a desired social connection between the cooking, dining, and entertaining experience, plus views to the front yard. One step towards achieving historic status to even apply for the MILS act - all the windows were replaced and returned back to their wood frame glory, and a previously modified window was returned back to it's orginal glass door and window configuration with direct access to the front porch. Existing harwood floors were patched and refinished, structural beams and footings were added as required, and all well worth the effort. The coveted island/ "command station" features a natural quartzite countertop, farmhouse sink, beautiful hand-painted tile, and uber comfortable counter height stools - perfectly proportioned to where the seat back will never get dinged up against the stone top and can tuck completely under the countertop when not in use. Tall, flanking pantries are convenient for everyday items, and deep lower drawers house all the necessities a home chef wants within arms reach.
