If you look at the original photo of this living room, you can easily tell what a challenge I was facing in needing to make this an appealing space for the next few years.
Prior to renovation, I needed to make this room and home satisfactory to the owner's contemporary and Modernist style sensibilities. They had a close eye on budget and didn't want to pay to have the ceiling re-painted since it was in fairly good shape. Given that the rest of walls were all darkly paneled (and the owner's wanted architectural white to show off artwork), I needed to find a way to integrate the beige-ish ceiling color with that crisp white and their furniture colors
The floors were also very old, damaged, dark oak and while they'd be eventually replaced with bamboo during renovation, I needed to figure out how integrate them into the overal color scheme of the room and home.
My final choices were to let some of the brown/grey show thru the fireplace re-paint, put in a light beige carpet to coordinate the fireplace, beige ceiling and the slight beige in the sofa.
Since I had a bit left in the budget to work with window treatments and the owner's didn't want to block the view to the gorgeous outside views, I got lucky and found an exotic fabric store with the lovely, (slightly beige) sheer fabric. We had the many yards of that fabric hemmed and then simply doubled it over simple tension rods placed in between the ceiling beams. The overall effect was to raise the window height visually, soften the "feel" of the room while still keeping to the owners need for a minimalist, light and contemporary space.

The 12-degree roof gradient effectively avoids rainwater pooling on the roof surface, reducing long-term moisture erosion on frames and sealing parts. 2.0mm thick aluminum profiles ensure stable wind resistance and structural durability under outdoor temperature changes. Powder-coated aluminum surface resists rust and UV fading.
Clean minimalist modern lines coordinate well with contemporary residential architecture. Optional configurations include zip screen side enclosures, LED strip lights and ceiling fans to form a fully enclosed outdoor room.

The white kitchen with a blue island and the white bathroom with a wood vanity offer a harmonious blend of classic elegance and natural warmth, each room having its distinct character while maintaining an overall cohesive design theme.
White Kitchen with Blue Island:
The kitchen features a predominantly white color scheme, creating a bright and open atmosphere. The white cabinetry, often with classic shaker-style doors or a clean and minimalist design, provides a timeless backdrop that exudes cleanliness and purity. The white cabinetry is a symbol of elegance and simplicity.
At the center of the kitchen, a blue island takes center stage, serving as a striking focal point. The blue hue, whether soft and coastal or vibrant and energetic, adds a touch of personality and visual interest to the space. The island is not only aesthetically appealing but also a functional workspace and a gathering place for family and friends.
Countertops, made from materials such as light-colored quartz or granite, harmonize with the white cabinets while offering a practical and easy-to-maintain workspace. Backsplashes may also incorporate blue hues, creating a cohesive and coordinated design.
The kitchen's flooring, often light-colored tiles or hardwood, complements the cabinetry and countertops while enhancing the overall brightness of the room. Pendant lights with contemporary designs provide both functional lighting and a decorative element, adding to the modern and stylish ambiance.
White Bathroom with Wood Vanity:
In the bathroom, a serene white color scheme takes center stage. The white walls and fixtures create a clean and refreshing ambiance. The focal point of the room is the wood vanity, which introduces a touch of natural warmth and organic beauty to the space. The wood vanity may feature a rich, natural grain pattern, adding character and depth to the room.
The vanity top is often made of materials like marble or quartz in light or neutral tones, providing a practical and visually appealing surface for daily grooming routines. The combination of white and wood in the bathroom design creates a sense of balance and tranquility.
A large mirror above the vanity enhances the functionality of the space and contributes to the open and airy feel. Pendant or sconce lighting fixtures may be installed to provide effective illumination while adding a touch of elegance and style.
Natural light filters in through windows, enhancing the brightness and serenity of the bathroom. The wood vanity in a white bathroom creates a calming and balanced atmosphere, offering a refreshing and inviting environment for daily rituals and self-care.
In both the kitchen and bathroom, the integration of contrasting elements—white and blue in the kitchen, and white and wood in the bathroom—creates a design that is both visually pleasing and practical. The result is two distinct spaces that share a common theme of elegance and warmth, making them welcoming and functional areas in a home.

This fun bathroom was inspired by Palm Springs meets Mid-Century design. We started with the attractive tile design and built up from there to meet floating white oak cabinets paired with a bright, marbled effect countertop. We especially love the patterns that came together to complement each other through careful color coordination.

Splendor is a fantastic collection of classic Persian designs with a look fit for royalty but price for all to enjoy. These rugs are perfect for homes where the overall effect is a more traditional feel. Although, the selection of beautifully blended color combinations complement and coordinate with both classic and modern furnishings.

Replacing a large roman tub, K. Rue Designs created this large island for storage and open display shelving. A simle yet effective design statement on the floor tile outlines the island. His and her sinks are separated with a tall pier cabinet with designated space on both sides. Tons of lighting illuminates the space for putting on makeup, making a cup of coffee, and getting ready for the day. Coordinating cabinetry conceals the coffee station and is accented with colorful artwork on the wall.

ETHICA
The latest evolution of Veneta Cucine's most successful models. A fresh look based on today's new focus on excellent quality of the surfaces, which are produced using a special thermostructuring process for a truly natural effect. Our range is moving steadily towards the living area, with new solutions that finally break down the barriers between the kitchen and the living-room, bringing both areas together in coordinated compositions that are attractive and highly functional.

For this Brooklyn condo renovation, Gallery Kitchen and Bath updated the entire kitchen and both bathrooms, as well as painted and laid out new flooring throughout the entire apartment. The owners wanted to unite the seeming medley of the existing space into a cohesive design more representative of their own style. With its ultra-high ceilings and exposed joints and beams, the space already lent itself to the farmhouse look. The end result is a modernized, eclectic farmhouse style that we keenly carried throughout the home.
MORE DETAILS
Compelling textures and color combos reign supreme. The kitchen features semi-custom Shaker-style stone gray cabinets, a white subway tile backsplash running all the way up the wall, and white quartz countertops. We built the island in part to create a pleasing yet efficient flow from the kitchen into the living and dining areas as the space was opened up. We also painted the plumbing stack white to not make it stand out.
We also redesigned the bathrooms, giving each a unique treatment. In the master bath, we took a Victorian-goes-modern approach with coral walls, champagne fixtures, and a clawfoot tub. In the guest bathroom, we stuck to a transitional style that approaches modern without becoming contemporary, pairing herringbone marble floor tiles with a mix of subway and penny tiles on the walls and in the shower. Both maintain elements, such as tiles, fixtures, and colors, that coordinate with the overall eclectic farmhouse look.
HOW WE COLLABORATE
Collaboration with our clients to their desired degree is one of our core pillars. In this condo renovation, the clients wanted central air and were initially considering a true central air system. We advised against it, as not only would it take away from the unique beauty of unusually tall ceilings by adding unsightly ductwork, but it would also significantly detract from the farmhouse look. Instead, we suggested a mini-split system. Our recommended units were both cost-effective and much more complementary to the comprehensive theme. Of course, we ultimately always honor the clients’ choices but it’s just as important to us that we make sure to provide all the necessary information so our clients can make educated decisions that are best for their needs.
SPACE PLANNING
Another key element of the renovation process is space planning. From this perspective, we consider the placement and positioning of objects with regard to the overall flow of space. The building where this renovation took place is U-shaped at one end, which happens to be where this particular apartment is located. Uniquely-shaped spaces naturally require more concentration than those built in the standard rectangular shape. Questions we consider include: Where will people really spend time in this space? What will the flow of foot traffic be? Is there easy access to the kitchen island? Does it flow well into the hallways? Does the island protrude into anything? Working in New York, with its variety of homes and architectural styles, has greatly developed our experience with standard spaces and unconventional ones alike.
SOME HIGHLIGHTS
- Ultra-tall ceilings, allowing for stacked cabinets in the kitchen, as well as long pendant light fixtures and more chandeliers than usual throughout the home
- Completely refurbished cast iron clawfoot tub in one bathroom, with a 270-degree shower curtain around the tub
- Vibrant color choices, including an all-blue bedroom in various shades
- Treated exposed brick walls
Fun Fact: A client once showed us inspiration photos that they sourced online of this exact project, having no idea it was one of ours.

After working with this client on their home a few years ago, we were given the opportunity to create a landscape design for one of their multi-family properties. The goal was to create a landscape that not only enhances the property and fits the style of the building, but is also as cost effective and low maintenance as possible. We achieved this by keeping a limited plant palette, utilizing gravel and artificial turf, and exploring various options for hardscape and screening to achieve the desired look without blowing the budget.
This was a "design only" project. Installation was coordinated by the homeowner and completed by others.

In great shape, the kitchen didn't need much once the client moved in, except to put some personal touches to warm the space. The light fixtures needed updating throughout the home, so that's where the focus was here. Charming murals grace the soaring walls, which we wanted to maintain. A coordinating color was selected to tone down the sponging effect on the walls, and they were painted in a solid eggshell finish to appeal to the client's more modern aesthetic. Classic lanterns and pendants were added to update this farmhouse kitchen. It's in the details.
