Inspiration for a tropical landscaping in San Diego.

For the Living Room we aimed for a cool, natural, relaxing environment with color accents to tie the water in, as well as some touches of gold.
Living room - large coastal open concept ceramic tile living room idea in Miami with gray walls and a wall-mounted tv

This room definitely makes a statement, with its grand cream leather king bed, whose lightness is emerging out from the almost 3-D faux finish on the walls. Thank you, Krista and Cindy with Ufauxrea for all the wonderful work you do for us! This bed wall finish is a soft charcoal geometric pattern, with highlights in glass beads that help to create the illusion of depth. The chrome chandelier adds some excitement to the room, while the traditional rug and beautiful damask foot blanket help to ground the design for a more transitional feel.

My white lacquer parsons table allowed the vibrant colors around it to stand out. The dining chairs are raw teak, with white patent vinyl seats. I covered the host chairs by C.R. Laine in an exciting shade of chartreuse, which was supported in the artwork and bowl centerpiece!

On the first floor, right off the kitchen, is an open office nook. The shelving and lighting was strategically designed and placed around the room’s architecture. We accented this room with a sparkling pearl mica wallcovering.

Flexhouse, Chicago, IL Sullivan Goulette Wilson Ltd., Sullivan Goulette Wilson, Designer John James Construction, Contractor Ranquist Development Group, Owner Photographer: Darris Lee Harris Photography FlexHouse is a speculative row house development targeted to buyers of modest income, so a tight construction budget had to be met. The solution was to provide efficient, light-filled unit plans within a simple modern box, clad with commonplace materials used in a dynamic way.

The charcoal gray accent bed wall helped to add intimacy and warmth. the fireplace is surrounded by capiz tiles that shimmer. We designed the hearth to continue down the wall and underneath the built-in dresser. The door to the Master Bathroom is actually a hidden door when closed that plays into the wall paneling–beautifully designed! Off-whites and grays keep this room quiet and serene, and let the view and architecture do the talking.
