Formal home entry blends traditional architectural detail with bold, contemporary elegance. A pair of dramatic gold fringe chandeliers hang high above a round metal entry table with a beautiful chinoiserie vase with fresh flowers, a modern woven topped entry bench and a soft blue patterned rug beneath, an inviting moment that sets the tone for the rest of the home. On the walls are a sumptuous neutral grasscloth, charcoal painted trim, and a vintage style bowl of fruit artwork flanked by sleek brass and glass sconces. Add a dramatic charcoal painted staircase and millwork with architectural gravitas to the modern foyer decor for a beautifully designed and grand entry to this home.

This entry has just the right pop of color in the framed artwork stacked over the console. The tufted round ottomans provide extra seating if needed and are stored safely under the table. The table is upholstered in leather and has nickel nail head trim detail. The top is protected by a thin piece of glass. The contemporary silver pendant is just the right size to give off extra lighting at night and serves as a piece of art during the day. Michael Hunter Photography

At the other end of the home is this media room featuring a Velvet Aqua sectional and area rug that defines the TV screening area. An accent chair in the very bold pillow fabric is added to balance the seating area and a large Zebra cocktail ottoman for casual feet-up comfort in front of the sectional. An exterior entrance leads into an entry with a console on the left and a round table right front. The round entry table has Crocodile embossed leather stools that can be used as seating around the table or pulled into the screening area. Assorted trees and accessories ad to the coastal vibe while the selected furniture is more eclectic than overtly beachy.

This lovely craftsman style home provided the perfect blank slate for us to elevate with our clients' personalities. On the "must haves" list was add color, make it approachable and cozy, and keep the sunshine pouring in. The front rooms open to each other, so creating a flow connecting the spaces was important - however, giving each space its own twist was priority. We selected a bold red paint on the exterior of the front door and a classic, chevron-patterned, textured grasscloth for the Entry to set the stage. Lighting and furnishings were layered in for added pops of color and functionality. The Living Room furnishings were selected to maximize seating and relaxation. We delivered on color with the addition of an uber comfy, lime green swivel chair and placed it bordering the Living Room and Dining Room so one could join both conversations. The Dining Room walls were painted a moody blue to create a backdrop for chic dinner parties and record listening sessions. Reupholstered vintage dining chairs brought their own stories to the table while a custom made buffet stores oodles of board games and records. Custom window treatments in both spaces added the necessary privacy while allowing the sun to shine through and create the perfect sunny spots for their sweet dog to nap. Adding in artwork provided the fun punctuations in these two areas. When my client mentioned that she loves to sit out on the deck with a cup of tea and listen to the birds sing, my first thought was - let's have them join you inside! We reimagined the Breakfast Nook seating and created a custom banquette to perch on amongst the sweetest bird themed wallpaper. The Breakfast Nook's color palette of olive green and saturated orange paired with the lovely natural light is calming and perfectly reflective of our client's disposition.
