Home design - eclectic home design idea in Los Angeles

Dennis and Joe have a large, light-filled house. New construction meant lofted space and open floor plans with traditional styling. Running a busy dental practice by day and engaged in a rich social life by night, this couple needed a professional to take the lead on making their house a home. That’s my cue! They wanted to take risks, and stay away from “matchy-matchy”. We gussied up a plain ol’ TV room and gave it a healthy dose of luxury. Our plan was initially inspired by an abstract painting hanging over their stone fireplace. We brought in their love of the outdoors to make things cozy and used family furniture whenever possible for nostalgia and comfort. I took their love for one-of-a-kind objects and started making a design plan, aiming to solve their biggest frustration: the family room. They had a tortured relationship with a “forgotten family room,” a great space that was spacious and bright, but not at all cozy or joyful, and certainly not “them.” I wanted to create a cozy space functional for everyday curling up with puppies and watching TV after dinner, yet chic enough for hosting the pre-dinner kitchen overflow and cocktails during parties. I went looking for contrasting textures and materials. I wanted to balance patterns and scale, and use non-traditional colors as neutrals to create an overall sense of “BAM!” Dennis and Joe loved the nod to the classics juxtaposed with new and different globally-inspired pieces. For this project our design aesthetic can be described as Middle Eastern/tribal meets mid-century modern. We played to their sensible side with proportion and balance, and stayed as far away from boring/bleh as we could. You could say this room was pretty successful...It was featured in DC Modern Luxury. (#nobigdeal, right?) From there we moved on to other spaces.. We added colorful pillows and sheer drapery to finish off their formal living room. We kept an inherited bedroom set from Dennis’ Mom and added color, draperies, and pillows to overhaul the guest bedroom. Their project was not a rip-and-replace, we weren’t starting from scratch with a blank piece of paper. Rather, our goal was to take what was already there and make it better, more like them. Using functionality first, we focused on giving the house a soothing, joyful aesthetic. We upped the chic factor by a gajillion and helped them find their ‘happy’ at home.

This Australian-inspired new construction was a successful collaboration between homeowner, architect, designer and builder. The home features a Henrybuilt kitchen, butler's pantry, private home office, guest suite, master suite, entry foyer with concealed entrances to the powder bathroom and coat closet, hidden play loft, and full front and back landscaping with swimming pool and pool house/ADU.

The fire damage restoration project in East Brunswick, NJ has been completed with great success! Our crew has completely gutted and rebuilt the second floor of this beautiful home and made it look and function even better than before.

This bed had Rugosa rose and other natives. These owners reduced those to expose this Creeping Oregon Grape understory, planted as 4" pots and highly successful as a perimeter planting with better drainage.

Favorite successful business in today's world necessarily imply that success and victories are expressed in specific property. And what can be a better way to emphasize the successful status than your own house? And your favorite business often takes a lot of time. To be able to spend more time with the family, many successful people want a separate office in their own house or apartment. Interior Designers Dubai of Luxury Antonovich Design created hundreds of luxurious offices, each of which has become an ideal place to work and create. The style of the interior follows the design concept of the apartment. However, the office design has some nuances. Much attention is paid to lighting and functional facilities in the office. Nothing should distract from the work, but on the contrary, contribute to inspiration. Ergonomic furniture and spacious closets are perfectly combined with rich decor. In the luxury interiors there should be an appropriate furniture made of wood of valuable species, armchairs and sofas upholstered in leather. Natural shades in the interior contribute to a comfortable mental attitude to work or reading books.

When searching for a new home your first impression upon arrival is key to a successful showing. What better way to great the new owners than an inviting place to sit and contemplate how much they would enjoy living here. Editing the front porch and adding details that don't overtake the stacked stone facade, carefully crafted windows and inviting front doors was all that was needed to create this inviting front porch. Again, our photographer captured the feeling perfectly. Staging + Photos = Strong Presentation.

Flowers and vegetables make great companions, both aesthetically and functionally. Flowers add splashes of color to the sea of green and attract beneficial pollinators, ensuring your garden will be successful and productive.

This whole house renovation was a successful collaboration of design and construction between Greenleaf craftsmen, Analogue Design, and Mill Valley Kitchens with interior design and decorating by the client. We upgraded almost every room in this home including an expanded kitchen, built-in cabinetry, a basement renovation, three bathroom renovations, four bedrooms, an office, a laundry and mudroom, and a sewing/craft room. The walls on the first floor were opened up and reconfigured to allow for better flow, and the second floor was completely restructured to create enough space for four bedrooms. The basement was remodeled and also includes a powder room and sewing/craft room. A former breeezway was completely rebuilt with a new mudroom and laundry area. New Marvin French doors were installed to capture natural light and connect the space to an outdoor stone patio.
