Twins on 12th - HER ROOM - View the complete Photo Gallery and project details at motivinteriors.com/portfolio Design: MOTIV Interiors LLC Photography: Sam Angel Design Challenge: This 8 year-old boy and girl were outgrowing their existing setup and needed to update their rooms with a plan that would carry them forward into middle school and beyond. In addition to gaining storage and study areas, could these twins show off their big personalities? Absolutely, we said! MOTIV Interiors tackled the rooms of these youngsters living in Nashville's 12th South Neighborhood and created an environment where the dynamic duo can learn, create, and grow together for years to come. Design Solution: In her room, we wanted to create a fun-filled space that supports softball, sleepovers, science, and anything else a girl might want to get into. The star of the show is a beautiful hand-printed wallpaper by Brooklyn designer Aimee Wilder, whose FSC-certified papers contain no VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds). That means that in addition to packing a powerful visual punch, they meet our standard for excellent indoor air quality. We also love this wallpaper because it is composed of so many different neutral colors - this room can organically evolve over time without necessarily replacing the paper (which was installed with a no-VOC adhesive). We refreshed the remaining walls with a scrubbable no-VOC paint from Sherwin Williams (7008 Alabaster) and gave the carpets in both of the twins’ rooms a good cleaning and simple stretch as opposed to replacing them. In order to provide more functional light in her room, we incorporated a corner floor lamp for reading, a telescoping desk lamp for studying, and an eye-catching LED flower pendant on a dimmer switch sourced from Lightology. Custom window treatments in a linen/cotton blend emphasize the height of the room and bring in a little “bling” with antiqued gold hardware. Before we even thought about aesthetics, however, MOTIV Interiors got to work right away on increasing functionality. We added a spacious storage unit with plenty of baskets for all of our young client’s animal friends, and we made sure to include ample shelf space for books and hobbies as she finds new passions to explore down the road. We always prefer eco-friendly furnishings that are manufactured responsibly, made with sustainably harvested wood (FSC Certified), and use no glue or non-toxic glues and paints. The bedding in this project is 100% cotton and contains no synthetic fibers. When purchasing bedding, check for the GOTS Certification (Global Organic Textile Standard). The introduction of a desk and drawer unit created a calming space to study and reflect, or write a letter to a friend. Gold accents add a bit of warmth to the workspace, where she can display her memories, goals, and game plans for a bright future. We hope you enjoyed this project as much as we did! Each design challenge is an opportunity to push the envelope, by creating a new and exciting aesthetic or finding creative ways to incorporate sustainable design principles.

Nestled in the picturesque town of Newcastle, WA, this kitchen renovation project, dubbed "Newcastle Nouveau," brings the essence of modern luxury living to a vibrant family home. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the space harmonizes functional design with aesthetic finesse, creating a kitchen that’s not only a culinary hub but a centerpiece of home life. Design Highlights: Central Island: The heart of this modern kitchen is a spacious, multifunctional island that offers ample preparation space, integrated storage solutions, and casual dining options. Topped with a sleek, durable countertop, it's perfect for gatherings, meals, and culinary creativity. Pendant Lighting: Over the island, elegant pendant lights illuminate the space, providing task lighting with a touch of sophistication. These fixtures add a layer of warmth and ambiance, accentuating the kitchen's modern aesthetic. Hardwood Floors: Rich, polished hardwood floors lay the foundation of the kitchen’s design, adding depth and warmth to the modern color palette. The natural texture of the wood complements the sleek lines of the cabinetry and appliances, creating a harmonious balance between modernity and comfort. Stainless Steel Appliances: High-end stainless steel appliances are seamlessly integrated into the kitchen layout, offering the latest in culinary technology. Their sleek design and superior functionality cater to the needs of a busy household, ensuring that style and efficiency go hand in hand. Cabinetry and Storage: Custom cabinetry, painted in soft, neutral tones, offers ample storage while maintaining the kitchen's clean and airy feel. Innovative storage solutions keep countertops clutter-free and ensure every utensil and appliance has its place. Project Execution: "Newcastle Nouveau" was conceived to reflect the homeowners' desire for a space that blends the beauty of modern design with the functionality required for a dynamic family life. Every element, from the choice of materials to the layout, was chosen to create a kitchen that is both a pleasure to cook in and a joy to live in. Outcome: The completion of the Newcastle Nouveau project marks the transformation of a traditional kitchen into a modern masterpiece. It stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful design, where every detail works in concert to create a space that is as inviting as it is impressive. This kitchen is not just a place for preparing meals; it's the heart of the home where memories are made and shared. Client Testimonial: "Our new kitchen has exceeded all our expectations. The Newcastle Nouveau project has brought a new level of style and function to our home. It’s become our favorite gathering spot, perfectly blending the modern aesthetic we love with the practicality our busy life demands. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome."

Location: New York, NY, United States This Loft was tastefully renovated back in the '90s, but was due for an update and an expansion of the kitchen and dining areas to accommodate the client's cooking skills and entertaining needs. EnlargIing the island and adding cabinetry to delineate the office, bar and dining areas was a priority. The bathroom was updated to feel like a tranquil spa with beautiful new tile, plumbing fixtures and cabinets. Our biggest challenge was coordinating the entire renovation while our client was out of town for the Summer! Photographed by: James Salomon
