Search results for "Overpower" in Home Design Ideas

My real estate client, Anne, wanted to sell her floating home on Seattle's Portage Bay. After years of being a rental it needed a facelift.
The quaint living room was overpowered by a big, black woodstove. The stove took up a quarter of the space, the stovepipe put a hole in the vaulted ceiling, and it was an eyesore as well. It had to go! The flooring broke up the space by having five different materials, so we unified the space with Bella by Shaw Flooring everywhere except the bath where we installed Sky Blue Marmoleum.
The kitchen counters were stained, chipped marble tiles, mounted on top of a top-mounted sink to make it look like an under-mount! The counters were replaced with a quartz sheet and a true under-mount sink. The oil rubbed bronze wall-mounted faucet and recycled glass tiles from Bedrock Industries complete the new design.
The bathroom was updated in the 1980's and was due for an update. The oak vanity, mirror and light fixture were painted and the vanity got a new counter to match the kitchen quartz and a new deep under-mounted porcelain sink. New faucet, door pulls and knobs, light bulbs and paint completed the lift.
The back of the house was once used as a darkroom and sticky tape was left around the windows and door to mount black-out material. There were shelves and flooring that didn't fit the feeling we were after. All the sticky tape was removed, sanded, and painted, shelves removed and the floor replaced. With all that gone, the existing windows shine and let the light in to the now functional flex space.
The washer/dryer and water heater were just "hanging out" in the laundry area and are now housed in their own enclosures.
The bedroom got a new light fixture, and the whole house got new paint, minor repairs and the new flooring.
Outside, the deck was cleaned, and trim and doors were painted.
Designer and artist, Shannon Buckner of Bent Productions, selected the color palate, flooring, and staging, bringing an early 1900's house up to date for a modern lifestyle.

This full wall view highlights the thoughtful balance of style and comfort in the room. The built-in bookshelf, painted in Sherwin Williams Dried Thyme along with the wall and ceiling, creates a seamless and calming backdrop. Flanking ceiling lights softly illuminate both sides of the shelves, adding warmth without overpowering the space. A cozy sofa anchors the room, perfectly placed for movie nights or quiet reading. The blackout curtain feature allows for complete control over light, ideal for winding down. The Savanna Anetope Brownstone carpet really stands out here — its antelope-inspired pattern adds subtle texture and ties the whole space together with muted nude and grey tones that complement the green beautifully.

This reading area was designed around the beautiful blue bibliothèque, which is undoubtedly the focal point of the room. The furnishings around it were chosen with a neutral palette so as to not overpower the focal point. Yet, they have gracious lines and finishes found in French furnishings and interiors.

For this project in Ambleside, we created a made-to-measure fitted bedroom. The goal was to maximise storage and dressing space without overpowering the room, as it had many windows with views to be admired.
We selected Daval’s Made-to-Measure Fitted Bedroom Furniture, which allowed for flexibility in design. It features a backlite headboard panel, bedside chests with LED reading lights, and USB points with lighting controls easily accessible.
A mirror-fronted wardrobe placed at a corner utilises the space beautifully for full-hanging storage while doubling as a dressing mirror. The design also features his-and-hers dressing areas so the couple can have their own dedicated spaces. Chests were strategically positioned, providing extra storage for small items while adding warmth and balance to the design.
They had an ensuite bathroom with an alcove area outside, perfect for a run of robes for extra storage, with everything behind closed doors.
This bedroom was thoughtfully designed by Mike Hughes and expertly installed by our skilled installation team.

Updated Spec Home: The Bathrooms
The last stop on the main level of this Updated Spec Home are the Bathrooms. Every surface of the Guest Bath and Master Bath was touched- even some renovations in the Master bedroom. All I can say is thank goodness these two love wallpaper – we selected classic patterns for each bath that will stand the test of time!
Guest Bathroom
The Guest Bath also doubles as my mom’s bath. The footprint remained the same but we updated everything. A new vanity was chosen to give her that furniture look while still providing some storage – although there is a linen closet located just outside the bath. We topped it off with a beautiful mirror with great detail and an equally great light fixture. Also, we mixed the finishes in the bath between nickel and champagne, i.e., gold/silver mix. Mixing metals is perfectly acceptable and quite frankly way more interesting the everything matching. Updated Spec Home Bathrooms - Robin's Nest Interiors

We found this amazing wallpaper with its subtle colors and pattern and selected a large square tile to coordinate for the floor. Yes, you can do a large tile in a small bath because it actually makes the space feel larger. For finishing touches, we had this gorgeous shower curtain made. Above the new toilet, we added interesting abstract artwork framed in a large mat so it would not clash with the wallpaper.
Master Bathroom
Originally, the Master Bath had a large garden tub as the focal point and a tiny stand up shower in the corner. We removed the garden tub, moved the shower to this area as the focal point and turned the tiny shower into a much needed linen closet. At this point, I know you are thinking, what about resale with no tub? There is a tub in the Guest Bath so the house will still be appealing to young families or bath lovers alike.

Tile selections came first – my sister fell in love with this gorgeous dark greige glass tile. We used it in the upper half of the shower while keeping the lower half light with this plank tile in a striated pattern. We carried the plank tile onto the floor for a seamless look.

The owner was renovating the family homestead on a large farm and wanted a French Country kitchen that was warm and inviting.
We selected and antique white with Espresso glaze and used Dura Supreme’s Nob Hill door style to accomplish this. We were able to enlarge the original kitchen by taking out the hallway behind it and incorporating that space into the kitchen which allows room for a center eat-in table. The pull out fillers with decorative pilasters, corbels on the wood hood, fluted clipped corners with decorator ends all add to the French Country design while providing the functions of unique storage and traffic flow thru the space.
The mullion doors by the sink make it feel more airy and open and tie in with built in hutch cabinetry at the end of the room proudly displaying the family antique dinnerware. The subway tile with the simple decorative design behind the cooktop provide durability without being overpowering to the cabinetry details.
Cabinets: Dura Supreme Crestwood - Nob Hill doors style
- Antique white w/ Espresso glaze on maple
- Flex Crown molding above
Countertops: Crescent edged in 1875 - K - 35
