To modernize the space with eclectic flair and be mindful of budget, the designer specified a high/low combination of fixtures, finishes and accessories. The client made affordable choices for decorative items such as hardware and mirrors and invested in hardworking features such as Kohler plumbing fixtures, Caesarstone quartz counter tops in Misty Carrera, and COREtec Plus XL flooring in Walden Ash. The Hoshi porcelain star-motif accent tile was carried from the backsplash down to the shower curb, creating visual interest and a memorable detail. The modern mix of oil rubbed bronze and brushed gold finishes bring worldly sophistication to the space.

Quiet luxury encourages you to invest in your home, not just furnish it. This trend is about incorporating select high-quality pieces into your contemporary space to elevate the aesthetic. Importantly, quiet luxury is not about filling a room with finely-made furnishings - instead, it’s about using only one or two high-quality pieces to instill a subtle sense of sophistication.
To create this look, start by finding finely-made items that complement your space and showcase a few refined design elements. Our designers recommend looking for items that speak to you and are made using premium, long-lasting construction techniques and high-quality materials like solid hardwood and top grain leather.
The other aspect of quiet luxury to consider has to do with the “quiet” part of the name. A room with the quiet luxury look will contain a few high-end pieces that you’ve invested in, but the pieces shouldn’t steal too much attention with flashy elements and glossy finishes. Quiet luxury shines through moody tones and traditional color palettes, which is why quiet luxury statement pieces are often dressed in dark colors or deep earth tones for a distinctive atmosphere. Another way high-quality furnishings can have a "quiet" look is through the use of aging techniques applied to their surface, which delivers a perfectly understated, timeworn aesthetic.

Our poster project for The Three P's, this small midcentury home south of campus has great bones but lacked vibrancy - a je ne sais quoi that the clients were searching to savoir once and for all. SYI worked with them to nail down a design direction and furniture plan, and they decided to invest in the big-impact items first: built-ins and lighting and a fresh paint job that included a beautiful deep blue-green line around the windows. The vintage rug was an Etsy score at an awesome price, but only after the client spent months scouring options and sources online that matched the vision and dimensions of the plan. A good year later, the West Elm sofa went on sale, so the client took advantage; some time after that, they painted the kitchen, created the drop zone / bench area, and rounded out the room with occasional tables and accessories. Their lesson: in patience, and details, there is beauty.

This custom-made sofa was the right decision for this couple who wanted to invest in high-quality furniture items that fit their exact specifications. The storage ottoman has multiple uses: as a coffee table with a tray, additional seating for guests, or can be used to create a chaise for maximum relaxation.
The hand-woven rug was selected first, and the fabric for the sofa and window coverings selected afterwards. The result: a perfectly coordinated color palate.

A playground. A showcase. An investment. Whatever your kitchen is to you, it’s always right to design it as a personal statement. This gray and wood kitchen features glossy kitchen cabinets in Greyloft in the large center island as well as cherry kitchen cabinets in Saddle Suede. Both kitchen cabinet colors are used on slab style cabinet doors for a contemporary design.

This single family home came with a recently updated kitchen, but a cramped living space and obtrusive fireplace. We kept the furniture simple and clean with a Scandinavian bent, changed out kitchen pendants and stools to make it more modern, and transformed the adjacent room to a bright home office. We also created a sweet and simple nursery for their newest addition.

Embarking on a garage remodeling project is a transformative endeavor that can significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of the space.
By investing in tailored storage solutions such as cabinets, wall-mounted organizers, and overhead racks, one can efficiently declutter the area and create a more organized storage system. Flooring upgrades, such as epoxy coatings or durable tiles, not only improve the garage's appearance but also provide a resilient surface.
Adding custom workbenches or tool storage solutions contributes to a more efficient and user-friendly workspace. Additionally, incorporating proper lighting and ventilation ensures a well-lit and comfortable environment.
A remodeled garage not only increases property value but also opens up possibilities for alternative uses, such as a home gym, workshop, or hobby space, making it a worthwhile investment for both practicality and lifestyle improvement.
