Inspiration for an eclectic light wood floor family room remodel in Orange County

This forever home, perfect for entertaining and designed with a place for everything, is a contemporary residence that exudes warmth, functional style, and lifestyle personalization for a family of five. Our busy lawyer couple, with three close-knit children, had recently purchased a home that was modern on the outside, but dated on the inside. They loved the feel, but knew it needed a major overhaul. Being incredibly busy and having never taken on a renovation of this scale, they knew they needed help to make this space their own. Upon a previous client referral, they called on Pulp to make their dreams a reality. Then ensued a down to the studs renovation, moving walls and some stairs, resulting in dramatic results. Beth and Carolina layered in warmth and style throughout, striking a hard-to-achieve balance of livable and contemporary. The result is a well-lived in and stylish home designed for every member of the family, where memories are made daily.

What began as a small, extremely dated kitchen in this 1929 Spanish Casa with an even tinier nook that you could hardly eat in has turned into a gorgeous stunner full of life! We stayed true to the original style of the home and selected materials to complement and update its Spanish aesthetic. Luckily for us, our clients were on board with some color-loving ideas too! The peacock blue cabinets pair beautifully with the patterned tile and let those gorgeous accents shine! We kept the original copper hood and designed a functional kitchen with mixed metals, wire mesh cabinet detail, more counter space and room to entertain!

The slightly curved staircase from the entry way leads down to the unfinished basement of this home. In order to stay true to the architectural elements found in an 
southwestern home, the walls were curved throughout and adorned in 6 
inch, knotty alder wood trim. Although these design elements are 
beautiful, they presented great challenges to the trim carpenters, since 
the thick wood trim could not be manipulated around the curves. To remedy the problem, a 8 inch piece of rubber flex trim was cut to the 6 inch trim size and faux painted to match the knotty alder trim. As you can see, the finished product turned out beautiful and you could not tell the faux painted trim from the natural wood trim. Paul Kohlman Photography

This full basement renovation included adding a mudroom area, media room, a bedroom, a full bathroom, a game room, a kitchen, a gym and a beautiful custom wine cellar. Our clients are a family that is growing, and with a new baby, they wanted a comfortable place for family to stay when they visited, as well as space to spend time themselves. They also wanted an area that was easy to access from the pool for entertaining, grabbing snacks and using a new full pool bath.We never treat a basement as a second-class area of the house. Wood beams, customized details, moldings, built-ins, beadboard and wainscoting give the lower level main-floor style. There’s just as much custom millwork as you’d see in the formal spaces upstairs. We’re especially proud of the wine cellar, the media built-ins, the customized details on the island, the custom cubbies in the mudroom and the relaxing flow throughout the entire space.

design by Pulp Design Studios | http://pulpdesignstudios.com/ This project for a large family with six young children had to be functional, durable and comfortable. With the home being located outside of the city in a rural part of town, Pulp Design Studios took inspiration from nature, choosing warm neutrals as the back drop for pops of green, blue and red.

What once felt like a series of separate rooms now lives as one cohesive, light-filled space. This renovation transformed a confined kitchen and underused formal dining room into a central hub for daily life — complete with custom cabinetry, improved layout flow, and backyard views. Walls were removed, circulation improved, and smart storage added, all while staying true to the homeowners’ love of natural light and simple, purposeful design. The result is a more connected first floor, where the kitchen, dining, and sitting areas now feel naturally linked and effortless to live in.

This home is designed for a modern, European feel with a large entertainment area and discrete living areas for their young family and extended stay visitors. The program was organized into two bars of accommodation, linked by the kitchen node. Large, movable windows on the interior faces frame selective views of the landscape, while facilitating natural light into all parts of the house and easy movement out.
