Living room - 1950s living room idea in Denver

This project combines two existing studio apartments into a compact 800 sqft. live/work space for a young professional couple in the heart of Chelsea, New York. The design required some creative space planning to meet the Owner’s requested program for an open plan solution with a private master bedroom suite and separate study that also allowed for entertaining small parties, including the ability to provide a sleeping space for guests. The solution was to identify areas of overlap within the program that could be addressed with dual-function custom millwork pieces. A bar-stool counter at the open kitchen folds out to become a bench and dining table for formal entertaining. A custom desk folds down with a murphy bed to convert a private study into a guest bedroom area. A series of pocket door connecting the spaces provide both privacy to the master bedroom area when closed, and the option for a completely open layout when opened. A carefully selected material palette brings a warm, tranquil feel to the space. Reclaimed teak floors run seamlessly through the main spaces to accentuate the open layout. Warm gray lacquered millwork, Centaurus granite slabs, and custom oxidized stainless steel details, give an elegant counterpoint to the natural teak floors. The master bedroom suite and study feature custom Afromosia millwork. The bathrooms are finished with cool toned ceramic tile, custom Afromosia vanities, and minimalist chrome fixtures. Custom LED lighting provides dynamic, energy efficient illumination throughout. Photography: Mikiko Kikuyama

This breathtaking bathroom remodel was completed for a couple in Dunwoody, GA. The bathroom now includes a bright, comfortable, spa-like feel, perfect for this young couple. They can choose to relax in the stylish, claw-foot tub or their seamless-glass shower in complete serenity. The large picture window allows plenty of natural lighting as well as the use of recessed can lighting and wall-mounted vanity lights. The comfort is extended even farther with a separate room for the commode. Tabitha Stephens

This older couple wanted to create a forever home where they could age in place and welcome family and friends. They purchased a small house on a large lot – a rare find close to downtown Bethesda. The end of this hallway in the basement has a separate entry door. There is a room and full bath off this hallway that can be used by a live-in caretaker if needed

A creative, forward-thinking couple approached 3 Lights Design with the desire to remodel their boxy, unremarkable, ranch style home. Through our initial conversations, we came up with an exciting program, including the desire to feel more connected to the outdoors and the surrounding area while simultaneously having cozy places to nest, having a roof top deck to take in the sweeping views on all sides, and, in general to create and open, light-filled floor plan. Not only that, all new angles are based on the cardinal coordinates, that is, north-south-east-west and takes the home and orients it to the entire world. The columns in this photo mark where a two walls separated once separated the former living room from a sunken office and dark entry way. Now it all full of light!

The owners desired a dining area that was its own space, while being part of the entry and living areas of the home. The coupled pillars and archways provide a false wall to create a room to itself while allowing for a dining experience inclusive of others that may be in other rooms in the home. The separate herringbone pattern of the custom flooring create another element that is unique to the dining area, further defining the room's area.

Add some class and cleanse the clutter in your bathroom by selecting a coordinated collection of bath furniture with spare sensibility. These two individual bathroom vanities are separated by the tall, free-standing linen cabinet provide each spouse their own divided space to organize their personal bath supplies, while the linen cabinet provides universal storage for items the couple with both uses. This master bathroom features Dura Supreme’s “Style Six” furniture series. This style is designed to create sleek, minimalist appeal. Bookended on both sides and across the top, a set of doors and/or drawers are suspended beneath the countertop. If preferred, a floating shelf can be added (like shown on these two vanities) for additional and attractive storage underneath. Style Six offers 10 different configurations (for single sink vanities, double sink vanities, or offset sinks), and an optional floating shelf (vanity floor). Any combination of Dura Supreme’s many door styles, wood species, and finishes can be selected to create a one-of-a-kind bath furniture collection. This white on white transitional styled bathroom showcases a beautiful Chrome framed cabinet door from Dura Supreme, sleek solid surface vanity countertops, polished chrome Kohler faucets, round under-mount sinks, 2 Dura Supreme mirrors that match the vanities, polished chrome hardware, gray painted walls, and classic wood floors. The combination of all of these design elements come together to create one incredible master bath! The bathroom has evolved from its purist utilitarian roots to a more intimate and reflective sanctuary in which to relax and reconnect. A refreshing spa-like environment offers a brisk welcome at the dawning of a new day or a soothing interlude as your day concludes.

Eat-in kitchen - mid-sized mid-century modern l-shaped beige floor eat-in kitchen idea in Austin with medium tone wood cabinets, blue backsplash, ceramic backsplash, stainless steel appliances, an island and gray countertops

This kitchen island showcases a blend of style and functionality with its built-in drawer refrigerators, perfect for convenient access to chilled items.

The main focus on this project was to pull the eye out into the expansive property with the use of Colorado Blue Spruce, Aspen and Crabapple trees. The porch was surrounded by a xeriscape that will be full and colorful all season. All plant material has a direct drip system installed, with groups of plants separated into different zones to ensure everything gets exactly the amount of water needed to flourish. We look forward to watching this xeriscape fill in within the next couple years!

The subtle color palette of taupe gray and crisp white speak volumes in this master bathroom! We wanted this bathroom to be timeless yet also efficient for this established young couple. We made sure to incorporate everything they would need, from their own personal areas to a classic makeup vanity to a sectioned off toilet room! The glass walls on the walk-in shower luster in the bright, sunlit bathroom.

This is one of the dressing rooms for the master bedroom. The client did not want storage in the master bedroom but separate areas for the couple.

Connecting existing and new patios with landscaping we worked with a landscape designer and contractor to create a indoor-outdoor flow and tie in many separate building materials. This backyard now connects with the living spaces inside and is a private oasis for this busy professional couple.
