Bold Pattern, Warm Soul — Whole-Home Interior Design & Renovation | Raleigh, NC
This project is proof that a home can have a strong point of view and still feel completely livable. The homeowners wanted personality — spaces that felt collected, intentional, and a little unexpected. The result is a whole-home transformation where every room tells part of the same cohesive story.
The kitchen serves as the heart of it all. Sage green cabinetry with raised panel detailing wraps the entire space, while a bold large-scale botanical wallpaper in warm cream, brown, and black makes an unforgettable statement. The pattern doesn't stop at the kitchen walls — it carries through the built-in bar area and connects to the living room, creating a visual thread that ties the main floor together. White Calacatta-style quartz countertops and backsplash, matte black hardware, mercury glass pendants, and a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator with custom cabinet surround complete the kitchen's layered look. A built-in window seat breakfast nook with sage cushions adds charm and function in equal measure.
The living room anchors the home with drama and warmth. A floor-to-ceiling walnut wood slat accent wall frames the fireplace and soars to the two-story ceiling, flanked by white built-in bookshelves lined with the same botanical wallpaper. The furniture palette — white linen sofa, cognac leather mid-century chairs, and a natural wood coffee table — keeps the space grounded and inviting against the bold backdrop.
The nursery is a room unto itself: dusty blue walls and ceiling meet a framed safari toile accent wall, a vintage-inspired black iron crib, and a dramatic black woven drum pendant. Classic and cool with just the right amount of edge.
A moody bonus room doubles as a home theater, with dark walls, wood slat paneling, and plush oversized sofas tucked under a sloped ceiling. The primary bathroom rounds out the project with a floor-to-ceiling charcoal shaker vanity, matte black fixtures, and white quartz — sleek, modern, and confident.
Every room was designed and executed by a single team — from concept to completion.

Packed with cottage attributes, Sunset View features an open floor plan without sacrificing intimate spaces. Detailed design elements and updated amenities add both warmth and character to this multi-seasonal, multi-level Shingle-style-inspired home. Columns, beams, half-walls and built-ins throughout add a sense of Old World craftsmanship. Opening to the kitchen and a double-sided fireplace, the dining room features a lounge area and a curved booth that seats up to eight at a time. When space is needed for a larger crowd, furniture in the sitting area can be traded for an expanded table and more chairs. On the other side of the fireplace, expansive lake views are the highlight of the hearth room, which features drop down steps for even more beautiful vistas. An unusual stair tower connects the home’s five levels. While spacious, each room was designed for maximum living in minimum space.

DECK:
* 128 sq ft TimberTech© Coastline™ decking & cocktail rail
* TimberTech© black aluminum handrail system with square balusters
* Waterproofed frame w/ picture-frame design
* NOTE: Normally we would have wrapped these posts in PVC; however, the client elected not to, and decided to paint instead
* 100 sq ft of concrete walkway connecting garage entryway to deck
The 2 rooms added an estimated $120k worth of value to the home, and the PVC deck adds another estimated $15k.
This family needed hang-out space upstairs that allows them to enjoy the good weather with easy access to the living area and kitchen inside. Downstairs they needed an extension for machinery storage and working. They got everything they needed, and will love their home for many years to come.

A fresh new look without a full gut renovation.
For this kitchen refresh, we kept the existing cabinetry while completely transforming the feel of the space with new countertops, backsplash, and updated plumbing fixtures. Removing two columns opened up the room, allowing for better flow, more natural light, and a brighter, more connected space overall.
Proof that thoughtful changes can make a dramatic impact.

Built in 1903, the kitchen in this stone estate has transitioned to fit the needs of many different owners. In 2017, the challenge was to transform it from an eclectic mix of minimal functionality to a kitchen the new homeowners wanted to love for the "next 30 years." It was important in the overall kitchen design to give a nod to the stately manner of the home, yet have the styling reflect a more contemporary color palette and finishes.

This one-room renovation reimagined an underused formal dining room into a cozy, conversation-focused sitting room—infused with moody sophistication and architectural interest. With minimal structural limitations, the project offered full creative freedom to rethink the layout and mood of the space.
The goal was to create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere: a space less about utility and more about experience. We introduced bold, layered elements—including wall moulding, rich finishes, and a dramatic ceiling wallpaper—to elevate the room without overwhelming it. A curved sofa became the cornerstone of the layout, softening circulation and encouraging connection, while a flexible secondary seating area added versatility.
Lighting played a critical role in setting tone and function. A sculptural statement fixture brought visual presence, while layered accent lighting offered warm ambiance for evening use. Every detail—from the ceiling pattern to the furniture silhouettes—was chosen to strike a balance between drama and cohesion, tying in tonal references from adjacent rooms while giving this space its own identity.
The result is a distinctive, inviting retreat designed for everything from quiet moments to casual entertaining—proof that even a single room can completely shift the rhythm and feel of a home.

This Glencoe kitchen is designed to feel effortless — but make no mistake, every element was carefully composed. Floor-to-ceiling custom millwork provides elegant storage while allowing the stunning natural grain to become a design feature in itself. The quartz slab backsplash and matching island bring cohesion and visual calm, framing the kitchen in clean geometry and luxurious simplicity.
Light oak tones and brushed gold accents soften the modern lines, while wide pendant lighting adds a quiet sculptural moment over the island. The entire space is bathed in natural light from tall windows and French doors, blurring the lines between inside and out. This kitchen doesn't shout for attention — it invites you in gently, encouraging presence, connection, and clarity.
New Explode Construction brought their signature craftsmanship and modern sensibility to this serene, tailored space — proof that minimalist design, when done right, can be full of soul.
