Lauren Perry Interior DesignFor many, the idea of downsizing can be daunting, especially when moving from a spacious rural home to a compact condo.
However, our clients were determined to embrace this change to simplify their lives and indulge in waterfront living. With panoramic views of Lake Nepahwin, they were eager to create a retreat maximizing space without compromising style.
To optimize space, we adopted a minimalist approach, focusing on multifunctional furniture and clever storage solutions. By strategically placing furniture and incorporating a pantry, disguised as an built-in armoire in the living room, we were able to make the most of every square inch while maximizing the expanse. “Every inch of real estate is valued,” says Lauren Perry “and that is how downsizing becomes a delight.”
The original pantry was excessive for the couple, but the primary bedroom was lacking closet space. Enter demolition. We opened a bathroom wall and converted the existing pantry into a walk-in closet for our client’s impressive wardrobe. Prioritizing the built-ins with plenty of drawers customized this space for our client’s personal needs and showcased her impeccable taste in clothes, shoes, and accessories.
Every selection had to be carefully considered so the space is inviting, without feeling congested. The fixtures and decor were curated to layer interest, but not detract from the beautiful views of the condo, a delicate balance best left to the professionals.

Nandina Home & DesignA professional couple with one teenage daughter upsized in footprint, but downsized in maintenance, by moving into a 4-story brownstone in downtown Aiken, SC. They looked to fill the space with bright color and light-filled rooms, with an edgy vibe, while keeping the original classic architectural style intact. Our favorite feature: the peacock blue dining room ceiling with the same accent color on the built-in china cabinets and inside the front door.

Fairfax Design SolutionsWhen downsizing from a large single family home to a high-rise condo, knowing what to keep and what to sell/give away can be quite a task. Fairfax Design Solutions assisted this wonderful couple with deciding which furniture pieces to move to their Tysons condo. We also designed their new TV and electric fireplace wall. Everything came out beautifully!
Lewis & Associates Designs, llcWhen the homeowner open the front door for the first time, this is what awaited her. Instant move in! The Great Room, with its vaulted ceiling, lets in lots of light and is oh so cozy. We used the rug from her former dining room, the coffee table and lattice club chair from the family room and coupled them with a new, fresh sofa and chair in creamy white. We made sure that although she had downsized her square footage by more than half, that all her treasures were still around her.
HomeSource BuildersThis was the second home we built for this retired couple. Downsizing with warm, contemporary sizzle, this 1,700 sq. ft. single-story features a spacious main living area, with direct access to the screened porch. Master on one end, guest room on the other. The brick-look kitchen backsplash wall is actually porcelain tile. High-efficiency, wood-burning fireplace heats the entire home. Glass panel doors add a flair. LED lighting throughout. The owners are thrilled with the realistic hardwood look and feel of the LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring in all areas. Featured in the Asheville Parade of Homes.
