Set against the hills of Agoura Hills, this striking modern architectural home was styled to feel warm, livable, and quietly sophisticated. When first invited to complement the home’s incredible design vision, our team embraced the opportunity to bring an added layer of comfort and livability to the clean architectural lines and dramatic indoor-outdoor flow. Organic textures, layered furnishings, and relaxed contemporary accents were thoughtfully selected to enhance the home’s natural light, strong connection to the landscape, and overall sense of modern California living — allowing the architecture itself to remain the true focal point.

In the primary bedroom, our focus was on creating a space that felt both elevated and comfortable with a masculine edge. We brightened the room with a dynamic abstract wallpaper mural, introducing movement and visual depth. The large existing mirror was repositioned between the windows to expand the sense of scale, making the room feel even more spacious. Leather seating and a bench add strength and richness, while the channeled upholstered bed and plush bedding soften the overall feel. Updated wood flooring, new nightstands, and a custom built-in infuse warmth and ground the space in natural elements. A plush area rug provides comfort underfoot, while woven window treatments add texture and complement the darker tones in the wallpaper. The design carefully balances black and gray tones with bright accents to maintain an airy feel. Gold finishes and mixed metals were layered throughout, tying into the home’s broader design palette. A new ceiling fan with wood-toned blades harmonizes with the natural elements and furnishings. The result is a bedroom that feels polished, grounded, and richly layered with materials and textures.

The powder room was transformed from builder-grade to a high-design jewel box. The space now features a custom vanity with a stone countertop, layered textured wallpaper, and a unique statement mirror. A painted ceiling and trim complete the transformation, giving this small space a bold and refined personality.

The living room is anchored by a dramatic double-height bookcase that transforms the space into a personal library and architectural focal point. Reaching toward the soaring ceiling, the custom shelving is accessed by a rolling ladder that adds both function and timeless character. Curated books, collected objects, and artwork fill the shelves, creating a layered display that reflects the homeowner's story and passions. Comfortable seating, warm textures, and thoughtful lighting balance the scale of the room, making it equally suited for quiet reading, intimate conversation, and entertaining. The result is a living space that feels grand yet inviting, where every detail contributes to a sense of warmth, personality, and discovery.

This shower design makes a bold architectural statement through pattern, proportion, and material contrast. Vertical and horizontal tile bands create a striking graphic backdrop, adding rhythm and depth while maintaining a clean, tailored aesthetic. The neutral palette keeps the composition grounded, allowing texture and line to take center stage. A marble bench introduces organic movement through expressive veining, balancing the structured geometry of the tilework. Warm brass plumbing fixtures provide a refined contrast, adding warmth and subtle sophistication against the cool stone and tile surfaces. Frameless glass panels maintain visual openness, allowing the full material story to remain uninterrupted. The result is a modern, thoughtfully layered shower space that feels both sculptural and highly functional, blending bold design with timeless material choices.

What began as a renovation project morphed into a new house, driven by the natural beauty of the site. The new structures are perfectly aligned with the coastline, and take full advantage of the views of ocean, islands, and shoals. The location is within walking distance of town and its amenities, yet miles away in the privacy it affords. The house is nestled on a nicely wooded lot, giving the residence screening from the street, with an open meadow leading to the ocean on the rear of the lot. The design concept was driven by the serenity of the site, enhanced by textures of trees, plantings, sand and shoreline. The newly constructed house sits quietly in a location advantageously positioned to take full advantage of natural light and solar orientations. The visual calm is enhanced by the natural material: stone, wood, and metal throughout the home. The main structures are comprised of traditional New England forms, with modern connectors serving to unify the structures. Each building is equally suited for single floor living, if that future needs is ever necessary. Unique too is an underground connection between main house and an outbuilding. With their flowing connections, no room is isolated or ignored; instead each reflects a different level of privacy and social interaction. Just as there are layers to the exterior in beach, field, forest and oceans, the inside has a layered approach. Textures in wood, stone, and neutral colors combine with the warmth of linens, wools, and metals. Personality and character of the interiors and its furnishings are tailored to the client’s lifestyle. Rooms are arranged and organized in an intersection of public and private spaces. The quiet palette within reflects the nature outside, enhanced with artwork and accessories.

This primary bathroom is a study in sculptural modern luxury. Wrapped in warm bronze-toned mosaic tile that extends seamlessly from wall to ceiling, the space feels immersive and architectural. The softly curved ceiling detail adds movement and depth, creating a cocoon-like atmosphere that elevates the entire room. Floating charcoal vanities with fluted drawer fronts introduce texture and rhythm, while matte black vessel sinks and a marble slab countertop bring a sharp, tailored contrast. Sculptural pendant lighting hangs in front of a statement mirror, casting a warm, layered glow that enhances the metallic tones and adds dimension. The glass-enclosed shower in the background maintains the clean, contemporary lines while reinforcing the spa-inspired feel. Bold yet refined, this primary bathroom blends dramatic materiality with modern precision, resulting in a moody, high-end retreat designed for both impact and serenity.

This kitchen remodel in Raleigh, NC transformed a dated cooking space into the warm, functional heart of the home. Our team at Lavish designed custom sage green shaker cabinetry paired with a soft blue-gray island topped in crisp white quartz, with a built-in banquette-style pedestal table extending from the island to create casual seating without crowding the floor plan. A handmade-look Zellige tile backsplash runs to the ceiling behind the range, while floating white oak shelves, brass hardware, capiz drum pendants, and a matte black faucet and pot filler layer in texture and contrast. Leather counter stools and wishbone dining chairs keep the space feeling collected and comfortable. Because the kitchen opens to the family room, we carried the design through the entire living space. The living room remodel includes a shiplap fireplace surround with a herringbone marble hearth and chunky wood mantel, performance linen sofas, a tufted swivel chair, and layered vintage-style rugs — creating a cohesive open-concept layout that's ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. As a full-service interior design firm in Raleigh, NC, Lavish managed this project from kitchen design and cabinetry selection through lighting, furnishings, and final styling, delivering a seamless kitchen and living room renovation under one roof.
