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a more contemporary vibe to capitalize on the expansive bay views and were in the midst of ripping out low ceilings and outdated spaces.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.”

Dave Wilhide from Reico Kitchen & Bath in Springfield, VA, partnered with Professional Home Improvements to design a transitional kitchen featuring Green Forest Cabinetry in the Park Place door style in a White finish. The space is complemented by MSI Q New Carrara Marmi countertops and a full-height backsplash, along with KitchenAid appliances.
The client shared, “The hardest part was waiting to get started once we decided to move forward. Dave Wilhide was very helpful at the right times to keep things on track and offer advice that made final decisions easier. We really love the clean look and the additional amount of storage space.”

We initially considered a shaker style from Ikea but decided to upgrade the look with Semihandmade’s White Shaker Slab for doors, drawers, cover panels, and toe-kicks. The navy blue island is a custom piece that complements the countertops’ soft feel, giving it even more personality. We love the brass details in contrast with the navy-blue island and white kitchen doors. So what can customers expect? If a customer prefers to go towards the custom door route, Hive Kitchen Remodeling will offer advice regarding the best pick of door style. We will help you create a shopping list for any custom door provider.

Tucked into the opposite end of the small kitchen and enhanced by natural light is the breakfast nook.
“We have two small kids and needed space for them to sit and eat or play while we are cooking and cleaning,” she explains.
Therefore the space features a bench with cushions and more storage underneath, again featuring the Semihandmade cabinetry, as well as an overhead pendant light from Crate & Barrel.
Aja notes that there were no issues with the design and the process was virtually seamless.
“We used IKEA’s measuring service to take initial measurements of the space and they did make an error which affected our ability to execute IKD’s design. However, our contractor was able to make a few cost-effective modifications, and we had to order some additional doors and panels from Semihandmade in order to complete the project,” she describes.
In the end, Aja offers straightforward advice for others considering an IKEA kitchen.
“I say go for it! We love our IKEA kitchen, and will always recommend to our friends to use a design service like IKD. It made the process so much smoother, faster, and gave us exactly what we wanted,” she concludes.

The choice of a geometric blue tile is decidedly modern, but its subtle texture is reminiscent of danish pottery. Wood shelves and a custom vanity bring some warmth to the room and provide plenty of storage space in a compact ensuite.
