Search results for "Heavier" in Home Design Ideas

The grey trend has evolved in the last twelve months. Nowadays browns, beige and a touch of grey are in demand. Greige is the new buzzword.
Heavier hand scraped or contoured products, the rage that started around 2005 has taken a back seat in most areas, while a softer wire brushed "ceruse effect" seen mostly on White Oak has been remarkably strong showing no effects of becoming “dated” like the others mentioned.
Ceruse Color Possibilities
There are numerous color combinations to the "cerused" process with the most popular being white or off white. This design trend in hardwood flooring can have darker gray white oak with a mild ceruse off white effect.
There are limitless possibilities in either a prefinished hardwood floor or with what we can create for you in a custom on-site finished hardwood floor.
If something suits your fancy, contact us and we can work on creating just the look and sense of style you are looking for.

Located in Silverleaf's beautiful Horseshoe Canyon, this 7,700 square foot Ranch Hacienda serves as a vehicle for outdoor space.
The owners' desire for "classically traditional" with a lighter, brighter, and airier flavor than the neighborhood's popular, heavier Tuscan fare found expression in exterior materials and detailing that is simple in nature. The Nate Berkus-designed interiors complete the material and color palette with warm restraint.
The home, designed for a family with an extreme focus on outdoor living and sports, includes a basement equipped with a home gym, batting cage, and steam room. Outdoor facilities include a sport court and putting green. Additional features of the home include a motor court with dual garages, separate guest quarters, and a walk-in cooler.
The clients, receptive to the architect's exploration of multi-use spaces reflecting modern life, gained a laundry room which functions more as a home command station for a highly engaged mother than a place for chores. The multi-use room includes a washer and dryer, wrapping station, project area, winter storage, and her office. Additionally, it's connected to the outdoors, features a beautiful view, and is bathed in abundant natural light.

A farmhouse coastal styled home located in the charming neighborhood of Pflugerville. We merged our client's love of the beach with rustic elements which represent their Texas lifestyle. The result is a laid-back interior adorned with distressed woods, light sea blues, and beach-themed decor. We kept the furnishings tailored and contemporary with some heavier case goods- showcasing a touch of traditional. Our design even includes a separate hangout space for the teenagers and a cozy media for everyone to enjoy! The overall design is chic yet welcoming, perfect for this energetic young family.

The kitchen was made of modified IKEA components. The two-toned approach made the kitchen seem larger with heavier grey on the bottom and lighter white on the top.

Our Sag HarborCollection is hand-woven in a premium extra-large fiber, making for heavier and more substantial seating than standard outdoor wicker chairs. Chair pairs beautifully with our assortment of teak dining tables, whether they are the golden-brown color of new teak or have weathered to silver-gray. The collection also includes a generous lounge chair, ottoman, and loveseat. The highly adaptable and scalable Sag Harbor sectional converts your exterior space into a relaxing, inviting lounge area. Customize your seating arrangement using the curved settee with any combination of the other offered pieces: corner chair, end chair, armless chair, and wedge/side table. The premium fiber is expertly hand-woven around a sturdy aluminum frame for years of enjoyment.

We embellished the opening of this room by sinking the header into custom millwork. The design wraps around to the adjoining space and is incorporated into the crown molding--a nice focal point that can be seen from the front door.
A narrow but impressive wall-mounted console interrupts a long hallway wall and complements the heavier, straight lines of the console behind the sofa.

It is practically unheard of in interior design—that, in a matter of four hours, the majority of furnishings, accessories, lighting and artwork could be selected for an entire 5,000-square-foot home. But that was exactly the story for Cantoni designer Richard Bustos and his clients, Karen and Mike Moran. The couple, who had purchased and were in the midst of gutting a home on the water in Newport Beach, California, knew what they wanted.
Combined with Richard’s design assistance, it was a match made for swift decision-making and the resulting beautifully neutral, modern space. “We went into Cantoni in Irvine and fell in love with it—it was everything we liked,” Karen says. “Richard had the same vision we did, and we told him what we wanted, and he would direct us. He was on the same level.”
Even more surprising: they selected the furnishings before the home’s bones were even complete. They had wanted a more contemporary vibe to capitalize on the expansive bay views and were in the midst of ripping out low ceilings and outdated spaces. “We wanted modern warmth,” Karen says. “Cantoni furniture was the perfect fit.”
After their initial meeting, Richard met with the couple several times to take measurements and ensure pieces would fit. And they did—with elegant cohesion. In the living room, they leaned heavily on the Fashion Affair collection by Malerba, which is exclusive to Cantoni in the U.S. He flanked the Fashion Affair sofa in ivory leather with the Fashion Affair club chairs in taupe leather and the ivory Viera area rug to create a sumptuous textural mix. In the center, he placed the brown-glossed Fashion Affair low cocktail table and Fashion Affair occasional table for ease of entertaining and conversation.
A punch of glamour came by way of a set of Ravi table lamps in gold-glazed porcelain set on special-ordered Fashion Affair side tables. The Harmony floor sculpture in black stone and capiz shell was brought in for added interest. “Because of the grand scale of the living room—with high ceilings and numerous windows overlooking the water—the pieces in the space had to have more substance,” Richard says. “They are heavier-scaled than traditional modern furnishings, and in neutral tones to allow the architectural elements, such as a glass staircase and elevator, to be the main focal point.”
The trio settled on the Fashion Affair extension table in brown gloss with a bronze metal arc base in the formal dining area, and flanked it with eight Arcadia high-back chairs. “We like to have Sunday dinners with our large family, and now we finally have a big dining-room table,” Karen says. The master bedroom also affords bay views, and they again leaned heavily on neutral tones with the M Place California-king bed with chrome accents, the M Place nightstand with M Place table lamps, the M Place bench, Natuzzi’s Anteprima chair and a Scoop accent table. “They were fun, happy, cool people to work with,” Richard says.
One of the couple’s favorite spaces—the family room—features a remote-controlled, drop-down projection screen. For comfortable viewing, Richard paired the Milano sectional (with a power recliner) with the Sushi round cocktail table, the Lambrea accent table, and a Ravi table lamp in a gold metallic snakeskin pattern.
“Richard was wonderful, was on top of it, and was a great asset to our team,” Karen says. Mike agrees. “Richard was a dedicated professional,” he says. “He spent hours walking us through Cantoni making suggestions, measuring, and offering advice on what would and wouldn’t work. Cantoni furniture was a natural fit.”

The basement is designed as a warm, immersive retreat that blends eclectic design with spa-like tranquility and hidden entertainment spaces. The overall palette centers around warm natural woods, matte black accents, and layered moody lighting, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere throughout the space.
The main living area features a comfortable lounge zone anchored by a fireplace, with plush seating, textured rugs, and low, ambient lighting to create a relaxed, intimate vibe. Built-in shelving in dark wood with black metal details adds visual interest and provides space for books, art, and curated décor. The lighting plan emphasizes dim, warm, and indirect sources—wall sconces, concealed LED strips, and table lamps—to keep the environment calm and atmospheric rather than bright and open.
One side of the basement transitions into a Zen-inspired spa retreat. This area uses lighter warm woods and natural stone elements to create contrast while maintaining harmony with the rest of the basement. The spa includes:
A glass-front sauna with slatted cedar walls and soft backlighting
A cold plunge tub with dark stone or concrete surround
Minimalist fixtures in matte black
Subtle greenery and natural textures to reinforce the calming, restorative feel
The spa zone should feel like a boutique wellness retreat tucked inside the home—clean, quiet, and intentionally minimal.
A unique feature of the basement is a hidden “man cave” lounge accessed through a secret door disguised as a built-in shelving unit. When opened, it reveals a darker, more intimate room designed for entertaining or unwinding. This space uses rich two-tone walls in deep warm hues—such as charcoal paired with dark walnut or oxblood—along with low lighting and heavier textures. The room could include a bar area, media setup, leather seating, and subtle accent lighting to enhance the clandestine, speakeasy-like atmosphere.
Overall, the basement should feel layered, cozy, slightly mysterious, and luxurious, balancing relaxation, wellness, and entertainment in a way that feels cohesive but full of discovery.

Therma-Tru Classic-Craft Rustic Collection door. Evoke Old World charm with regionally inspired styling. The Rustic Collection recreates natural beauty to suit home styles from the lively Southwest to the ornate European. It blends the casual elegance of authentic rustic wood grains with all the benefits of fiberglass, thanks to AccuGrain technology. And, with Classic-Craft, you get more.

Who doesn't love the elegant look of a personalized door mat? This makes a wonderful house warming gift, wedding gift, Christmas gift or any gift! But don't forget about yourself. We think this mat would look awesome in front of your door too! We call our mats Coco "Not" because unlike ordinary coco mats made out of scratchy coir, ours don't shed or shred, they are anti-bacterial, don't mold, mildew or hold water, and are soft enough to walk on but rough enough to catch the dust and dirt. Cleaning is a breeze. Use a broom for a light dusting or hose off with water to remove heavier soiling. Our mats are inlaid, not printed & are finished with a non-slip backing that keeps them in place to perform better than any other entry mat made today. Every mat is made to order and you can customize yours just the way you want it. We are working on setting up our International order/shipping charges. In the meantime email us with your International shipping request and we will get back to you with a quote.

Alder cabinetry in our custom-blended Night stain. Wide rail shaker style door door provides a heavier looking door style for this massive kitchen. Boasting an 18' long island, this is one long kitchen wall. Divided by the center appliances, the length of the wall has dimension & variation thanks to a grand hood & an opposing beverage center area.

Before the renovation, the kitchen featured warm wood cabinetry, beige countertops, darker square floor tile, and limited wall finishes around the main work areas. The darker cabinetry and surfaces made the compact space feel heavier compared with the lighter remodeled design.

Basalt setts that need to withstand heavier pedestrian foot traffic and more. This install required working in the rain on a tight deadline - this entire paved pathway was jointed with our Resin Jointing Mortar in one morning! Contractor and new occupants: impressed and happy.
