This project showcases a case study of a client residing in Rome, Italy. The client, a family of three, lives in an 89 square meter house. They sought a suitable lighting fixture for their bedroom, and we engaged in a discussion to understand their requirements. The clients shared that their bedroom follows a rustic wooden style, with a preference for a natural and fresh ambiance. They adorned the room with wooden furniture and plenty of green plants. However, they were unsure about their choice of lighting. Initially, they considered a ceiling light but found it lacking in aesthetics. Subsequently, we recommended this wooden pumpkin pendant light, handcrafted from solid wood, and aligned with the principles of nature and environmental sustainability. It perfectly matched the client's requirements, and they expressed great satisfaction with the result.

This project is a client case located in France. The client's residence spans 130 square meters. Having grown up in France, the client's aesthetic has been influenced by the country's classical style. Their preferred decor style leans towards French countryside vintage, adorned with vibrant decorative pieces and lush greenery, reflecting a deep appreciation for nature's freshness. For this project, the client aimed to select suitable lighting fixtures for the dining room and bedroom. They favored bamboo and rattan weaving as materials, but wanted to incorporate a range of colors beyond the natural tones of bamboo and rattan. We recommended a three-tiered bamboo and rattan pendant light, accented with black and red tones. Upon receiving the products, the client expressed how perfectly the lighting fixtures aligned with their vision, conveying their satisfaction. We are delighted to share this case study, hoping it inspires and provides ideas for your own home decor endeavors.

View of the stools here with their silver accents connecting them with the stainless silver appliances in the kitchen. The white washed french dough bowl keeps the kitchen from feeling too modern and and the bright yellow lemons warm up the space so that it's doesn't feel too cold with all the silver and blue. Alright, I hope you've enjoyed this Carolina Coastal tour in the city here. And I hope that it sparks your inspiration of what you can do in a small room and setting in an apartment.

This project is a case study of a client located in Istanbul, Turkey. The client owns a Chinese restaurant with an approximate area of 120 square meters, consisting of a main dining hall and two small private rooms. The client desired a rustic countryside with a touch of Chinese style for the restaurant's interior design. They envisioned a mix of natural wood tones and green elements, such as abundant green plants, to complement the overall ambiance. The client's main requirement was to find the most suitable pendant lights for the restaurant, ensuring ample illumination throughout the space. Based on the restaurant's style and the client's needs, we recommended a series of pendant lights in a pendulum-shaped rattan design. For the main dining hall, a single pendant light was installed, while each of the private rooms featured a trio of pendant lights. Given the hall's spacious area of approximately 90 square meters, we arranged a total of 15 pendant lights to ensure sufficient lighting. As for the private rooms, with a combined area of around 30 square meters, the three pendant lights in each room effectively illuminated the entire space. Additionally, we incorporated green plants as decorative accents in the center of each pendant light, perfectly aligning with the restaurant's overall style. The client expressed great satisfaction with this lighting arrangement, as it perfectly met their needs and harmonized with the desired ambiance of the restaurant.

The couple who embarked on this Lake Zurich Illinois home renovation spent years planning a move from Virginia to the rolling hills of Northern Illinois when their first grandchild was born. Wanting to be closer to their grown children so they could enjoy their new role, they first embarked upon finding the right realtor and the right home. They settled on the “perfect” home; perfect that is to transform. The seriously outdated 1,800 square foot ranch had a closed outdated kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a living room with a fireplace, a full basement and 2 baths. Although it had “good bones”, it was straight out of a builder’s catalog with wall to wall carpet, standard tile and honey oak everywhere you looked. But this couple had big plans for this home. In tandem with their home purchase, they began the search for the just the right renovation company. The team they chose needed to be cohesive, as the whole house renovation would be designed hundreds of miles from their home several states away. She found Advance Design Studio, Ltd. online, and was quickly enamored by the team and by Common Sense Remodeling, simply by studying the website. Her decision to choose Advance Design to partner on this complete ranch renovation was confirmed quickly upon her first face to face meeting with owner Todd Jurs, and later by Advance’s designer, Nicole Ryan. Three bedrooms were converted into a one master suite with ample bath and walk in closet, laundry, and a 2nd multi-purpose room designed for movies and entertainment, a home office, and a guest room all in one. A doorway leading to the garage was reconfigured to create a foyer area, and allowed for a better flow to an open modern kitchen complete with a large island for cooking and entertaining, which included a wide bench seat overlooking the back yard and opening onto an eating area flanked with a fireplace and TV. The piece de resistance culminated with 3 walls of full glass anchored by a striking fireplace in the new four season’s room where the homeowners enjoy coffee every morning while gazing at the current day’s mid-western landscape. The open floorplan encourages living in “one space” throughout the day. Ryan worked with the couple remotely, exchanging 3D color renderings and floorplans with detailed budget updates until the project took on the very image they had envisioned. “Working with them was a change from our normal meeting process since they were literally in a different state. We conducted meetings by phone, while reviewing materials and drawings via computer. It was a fun process that necessitated lots of detail and careful coordination, but we made it happen and the process was as smooth as if they were right here like normal”, says Nicole. During a stressful time planning their move, the constant interaction with Nicole assured the couple that all was being addressed by the Advance team and they could relax and focus on other important things (like moving cross country). The new master bath incorporated heated flooring, a walk in shower with seating and custom shower niches, and an elegant double sink vanity with ample space for two. “The layout of each of the rooms is exactly what I envisioned,” the client said. “Advance’s attention to details such as light switch placement, electrical outlets, and many other minute details you wouldn’t even think of was the icing on the cake. If I didn’t think of it first, they certainly did,” said the happy homeowner. Small details like the crown molding, the custom designed fireplace mantle, the under-cabinet lighting and etched door glass, and even subtle rhinestones shimmering like delicate jewelry in the tile backsplash brought the whole project together. The clients were extremely happy with the way the Advance team made sure these small things were executed perfectly. “It’s just gorgeous,” they said at a celebratory event in their home hosted shortly after completion for the entire Advance Design team that made it happen. “The entire crew at Advance Design was a pleasure to work with. We couldn’t have done this with a lesser team,” they concluded.

This project is a case study of a client living in Athens, Greece. The client resides in a 60-square-meter duplex loft apartment. The overall style of the house leans towards a Scandinavian modern aesthetic. The client, a woman with a preference for minimalistic and fresh designs, shared with us that her home's overall decor revolves around white and black tones. However, she desired something unique in terms of lighting fixtures. We recommended this wooden pumpkin pendant light, featuring a natural wood color and a thin slice design that disperses light for localized illumination. We suggested she install this pendant light in a space that could accentuate the overall ambiance. The client received the product and placed the pendant light in the area connecting the upper and lower levels, expressing great satisfaction with the result.
