Robin Stancliff photo credits.For this bathroom, my client wanted a very light and open feel with interesting accent points. The bathroom was a complete gut, and we were able to keep the design fee fairly minimal by using the same materials from the client’s master bathroom in new and creative ways. None of the plumbing or electrical elements needed to move, so that helped keep costs low as well. As the bathroom is rather small, we had to think outside of the box for creating display areas, which is how we decided to use the floating shelves to display decorations and give the bathroom a more inviting feel. The tile in the bathroom is a marble-look porcelain, which allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. A very unique element of this bathroom is the barn-door style glass shower door. The shower also features small corner shelves to store toiletries as needed. I placed LED lighting throughout the bathroom and added a frameless beveled edge mirror to help keep the room as minimal as possible. With a white under-mount sink and a leather-finished countertop, the vanity is clean and simple while still remaining stylish and modern. I integrated custom tile work throughout the shower and vanity to effectively tie the design of the bathroom together and add a modern flair to a clean, bright, and minimal space.

Up on a Hillside, stands a strong and handsome home with many facets and gables. Built to withstand the test of time, the exquisite stone and stylish shakes siding surrounds the exterior and protects the beauty within. The distinguished front door entry with side lights and a transom window stands tall and opens up to high coffered ceilings, a floor to ceiling stone fireplace, stunning glass doors & windows, custom built-ins and an open concept floor plan. The expansive kitchen is graced with a striking leathered granite island, butlers pantry, stainless-steel appliances, fine cabinetry and dining area. Just off the kitchen is an inviting sunroom with a stone fire place and a fantastic EZE Breeze Window System. There is a custom drop-zone built by our team of master carpenters that offers a beautiful point of interest as well as functionality. En suite bathrooms add a sense of luxury to guest bedrooms. The master bedroom has a private sunroom perfect for curling up and reading a book. The luxurious Master Bath exudes tranquility with a large garden tub, custom tile shower, barrel vault ceiling and his & hers granite vanities. The extensively landscaped back yard features tiered rock walls, two gorgeous water features and several spacious outdoor living areas perfect for entertaining friends and enjoying the four seasons of North Carolina.

Angular geometry defines the spatial planning in this kitchen, with a central island constructed in thick-edge quartz serving both as a prep surface and informal dining zone. The fluted vertical paneling beneath the island’s seating overhang introduces a rhythmic detail that contrasts the otherwise smooth, slab-style finishes. Seating is arranged with four counter-height stools in camel-toned leather and matte black metal framing, offering a material counterpoint to the pale surfaces. Cabinetry throughout the perimeter follows a full-overlay layout with continuous flat faces, avoiding visual breaks and reinforcing the room’s minimalist approach. Integrated underlighting runs below the upper units, creating clean separation from the stone backsplash and maintaining uniform task lighting. The floor is finished in large-format porcelain tile in a soft ecru tone, selected for consistency across adjoining zones. Ventilation, lighting, and climate controls are ceiling-integrated with square-edge registers and recessed fixtures spaced in a tight grid layout.

The living room is defined by a two-story ceiling height and a full U-shaped leather sectional positioned over a layered green area rug. Walls are painted in a lime-tone matte finish, contrasted by crisp white baseboards and crown molding. Recessed ceiling lights and dual floor lamps provide mixed lighting across conversation zones. At the far end, an arched entryway leads to the main stairwell, while an open pass-through reveals a fully integrated kitchen. The kitchen is outfitted with white raised-panel cabinetry, fluted molding along the upper crown, and a central cooking alcove detailed with arched inlay and tile backsplash. Dark wood floors run wall-to-wall, creating a visual anchor beneath the otherwise high-volume layout. The mezzanine railing above overlooks the main seating area, giving vertical depth. Bold accents—such as animal-print stools, lime green throw pillows, and indoor plants—offer visual breaks without interrupting the structural color symmetry.

A full indoor shot captures a spacious and inviting living area with a stunning view of a waterway. Large windows span the entire back wall, offering unobstructed views of yachts and docks, while filling the room with natural light. The ceiling features exposed, light-colored wooden planks, enhancing the airy and relaxed ambiance. The seating arrangement includes a large light beige sofa adorned with patterned throw pillows, two matching light beige leather recliners, and two light gray-taupe armchairs. In the center, a round, light-colored wooden coffee table with a decorative tray anchors the living space, which is complemented by a dark-patterned area rug with a beige border. The kitchen area, visible in the background, showcases dark cabinets and bar stools, providing a functional yet stylish contrast to the living area's light tones. Small framed artworks on the wall by the windows, along with potted plants, add decorative charm and a touch of greenery, completing the modern and tranquil design.

Million Dollar Listing’s celebrity broker Ryan Serhant reached out to Decor Aid to stage a luxurious Brooklyn condo development. The only caveat was that our interior designers had 48 hours to come up with the design, concept, and source all the furniture. Always up for a challenge, we partnered with Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams to create this contemporary gem. Staying true to their contemporary vision, our interior decorators sourced all pieces through MGBW. Starting in the living room, we placed the Gunner Sofa, a piece that offers clean-lined living. The thin arms and slanted profile emphasize the modern elegance of the home. Through the use of various contemporary patterns and textures we were able to avoid the one-dimensional ambiance, and instead, the apartment’s living room feels detailed and thought out, without making anyone who enters overcrowded with home decor. The Melrose cocktail table was sourced for its sleek, stainless steel and glass design that contrasts with more substantial pieces in the space, while also complementing the contemporary style. The glass design gives the illusion that this table takes up less space, giving the living room design a light and airy feel all around. The living space transformed into something out of a decor catalog with just the right amount of personality, creating a room that follows through with our starting design, yet functional for everyday use. After the living room area, we set our eyes on designing the master bedroom. Our interior decorators were immediately drawn to the Celina Floating Rail Bed, it’s opulent nailhead trim, and dramatic design brings fresh sophistication to the bedroom design, while also standing out as a timeless piece that can complement various trends or styles that might be added later on to the bedroom decoration. We sourced the Roland Table Lamp to add texture, with its elaborate ribbed design, that compliments the air of masculinity the Carmen Leather Ottoman add while contrasting with the light, sleeker pieces. This difference in weight left us with a bedroom decoration that lives up to the trending modern standards, yet a space that is timeless and stylish no matter the decor trends. Once we finished and the project was completed, our senior designers took a step back and took in all of their hard labor. Decor Aid was able to make this newly built blank space and design it into a modern wonder small brooklyn apartment. The MGBW furnishings were all hand-picked to keep an even balance of complementing and contrasting contemporary pieces, which was one of our more critical apartment decorating ideas. The apartment home decor brings to life this modern concept in a way that isn’t overbearing and shows off their style making the space in every sense an accurate reflection of a chic contemporary style.

Located in the heart of a 1920’s urban neighborhood, this classically designed home went through a dramatic transformation. Several updates over the years had rendered the space dated and feeling disjointed. The main level received cosmetic updates to the kitchen, dining, formal living and family room to bring the decor out of the 90’s and into the 21st century. Space from a coat closet and laundry room was reallocated to the transformation of a storage closet into a stylish powder room. Upstairs, custom cabinetry, built-ins, along with fixture and material updates revamped the look and feel of the bedrooms and bathrooms. But the most striking alterations occurred on the home’s exterior, with the addition of a 24′ x 52′ pool complete with built-in tanning shelf, programmable LED lights and bubblers as well as an elevated spa with waterfall feature. A custom pool house was added to compliment the original architecture of the main home while adding a kitchenette, changing facilities and storage space to enhance the functionality of the pool area. The landscaping received a complete overhaul and Oaks Rialto pavers were added surrounding the pool, along with a lounge space shaded by a custom-built pergola. These renovations and additions converted this residence from well-worn to a stunning, urban oasis.
