A kitchen corner dining space where vintage charm meets modern elegance. Tucked beneath a brutalist torch cut chandelier, the intimate round table is draped in soft texture, inviting slow mornings and warm conversations. A crimson velvet covered chair adds a pop of drama, echoing the ruby-toned plates that climb the wall like curated art. With layered pillows, moody candlelight, and a window view framed by autumn hues, this little corner proves that even small spaces can have grand character.

This bold kitchen remodel embraces layered materials, custom metalwork, and statement design to create a space that is both striking and highly functional. Designed to stand out, the kitchen blends contrasting textures and finishes to achieve a look that feels curated, elevated, and completely unique. At the center of the space, a custom kitchen island anchors the design, surrounded by rich material contrasts—from natural stone surfaces to warm wood tones and sleek metal accents. The use of custom metalwork, including architectural details and specialty elements, adds depth and a refined industrial edge that elevates the entire room. Custom cabinetry provides both structure and storage, while thoughtfully integrated features ensure the kitchen remains as practical as it is visually impactful. Layered finishes and bold combinations of materials create dimension throughout, proving that mixing textures can result in a cohesive and sophisticated design when done intentionally. Strategic lighting and an open layout enhance the overall feel, allowing each material and detail to shine while maintaining flow into adjacent living spaces. This kitchen is a perfect example of how bold design choices, mixed materials, and custom craftsmanship can come together to create a one-of-a-kind space that reflects both personality and luxury.

Just because you have a child entering your life does not mean that you have to give up on style. With the choice of right materials and sophisticated colour choices, the design of this apartment in Amber Garden, Mid-levels proves that practicality does not have to come at the expense of chic design. A warm mood is created in the dining room, with the use of a rustic wooden dining table from TREE. The table is complemented by cosy chairs from Habitat.

The office space is designed as a focused, high-altitude study that balances executive precision with organic warmth. A minimalist dark wood desk provides a commanding work surface, while a cream leather chair offers a sophisticated, modern silhouette. Above, a large-scale woven cane lantern adds a significant textural element, casting a soft, patterned glow that grounds the airy room. Positioned to take full advantage of the sweeping river views, the space is layered with sculptural ceramics and linen drapery, creating a restorative professional environment. It is a quiet corner of the home that proves a workspace can be as artful and curated as any social gallery.

Refreshed & Refined Sometimes the best transformations begin with good bones. In this project, we reimagined a dated 90's kitchen, dinette, and living space with a thoughtful refresh - proving that impactful change doesn’t always require a full renovation. An awkwardly placed three-sided fireplace was removed and replaced with a custom built-in feature wall, creating a strong focal point for the open-concept space. The existing cabinetry was refaced, while additional cabinets and a new island were added to improve storage, flow, and everyday usability. The entire space was updated in a warm neutral palette, accented with subtle green and blue tones the homeowners love. The result is a fresh, timeless space designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

Inside, the kitchen proves that small doesn’t mean limited. The layout is compact but highly functional, with every inch doing the work. A center island keeps the space feeling open and uncluttered. Rift-sawn white oak cabinetry introduces warmth and grain, balanced by clean lines and micro appliances.

This stunning kitchen transformation proves that warm, earthy tones can be just as striking as classic white — and far more personal. The result is a sophisticated, chef-caliber space that feels layered, collected, and completely livable, with a color story rooted in nature and elevated by thoughtful material choices throughout. The perimeter cabinetry is finished in a rich warm greige — that perfect blend of gray and beige that feels both current and timeless — running floor to ceiling with generous crown molding detail and brushed brass bar pulls that catch the light beautifully. The custom range hood, painted to match and finished with elegant curved molding, anchors the cooking wall and creates an architectural focal point that draws the eye immediately upon entering the room. The central island makes a bold and confident design statement in a contrasting sage green, a color choice that bridges the warm cabinetry and cool marble-look quartz countertops with unexpected harmony. The island countertop — a striking Calacatta-style quartz with dramatic gold veining — extends across all perimeter surfaces, tying the entire kitchen together under one cohesive material story. A large white farmhouse apron-front sink sits within the island, paired with a brushed champagne bronze gooseneck faucet and matching pot filler above the range — hardware details that elevate the space from beautiful to truly bespoke. The backsplash deserves its own moment: a full-field installation of a tone-on-tone marble mosaic tile in soft white, warm gray, and hints of gold runs wall to wall and floor to ceiling behind the range — a shimmering, textural surface that catches the light throughout the day and gives the kitchen an almost jewel-box quality up close. Three oversized sage green dome pendant lights with brass interiors and gold rods hang above the island, echoing the island color and creating a perfectly coordinated, designer-curated look. The professional-grade Wolf dual-fuel range with signature red knobs commands the cooking wall — a statement appliance that signals serious culinary intent while adding a pop of bold color that energizes the otherwise soft palette. Panel-ready refrigerator cabinetry seamlessly integrates the appliance wall into the overall design, maintaining the clean, furniture-like quality of the custom cabinetry throughout. The remodel extends into the adjacent family room, where a full fireplace surround tiled in the same marble mosaic as the kitchen backsplash creates a cohesive design thread between the two spaces. A warm wood mantel, linen drapery, and a mix of cognac leather and cream upholstery complete a sitting area that feels like a natural, harmonious extension of the kitchen beyond.

Completed in 2015, the Othello House was designed by PRDG Architecture + Design and built by Better Builders as a striking example of modern living in West Seattle. Though the homeowners chose not to pursue formal certification, the project was built to meet the rigorous standards of a Five-Star Built Green™ home. From the ground up, sustainability and style were equally prioritized. The build preserved native vegetation, retained mature trees on-site, exceeded Washington State Energy Code requirements, and recycled over 70% of construction waste by weight. Recycled-content materials were thoughtfully incorporated throughout, reinforcing the home’s eco-conscious foundation. Large windows on all sides flood the interiors with natural light, while the surrounding landscaping is designed to highlight lush greenery and native plantings. The result is a home that combines premium modern design with environmental responsibility—proving that sustainable construction can also deliver the ultimate in comfort and function.

This jewel-box powder bathroom proves that small spaces can make the biggest design statement.

This beautiful and exceptionally efficient 2-bed/2-bath house proves that laneway homes do not have to be compromised, but can be beautiful, light and airy places to live. The living room, master bedroom and south-facing deck overlook the adjacent park. There are parking spaces for three vehicles immediately opposite. Like the main residence on the same property, the house is constructed from pre-fabricated Structural Insulated Panels. This, and other highly innovative construction technologies will put the building in a class of its own regarding performance and sustainability. The structure has been seismically-upgraded, and materials have been selected to stand the test of time. The design is strikingly modern but respectful, and the layout is very practical. This project has been nominated and won multiple Ovation awards. Architecture: Nick Bray Architecture Construction Management: Forte Projects Photos: Martin Knowles

This ASID award-winner began as a traditional Mediterranean design. Atmospheric redesign of the ceilings and millwork proved foundational in the transition to a cleaner architectural manifestation. This home goes from formal elegance to casual cool, effortlessly.

This kitchen remodel in Raleigh, NC delivers the bright, classic white kitchen so many families dream of — with warmth and personality built in. Our team at Lavish designed crisp white shaker cabinetry offset by a natural wood island with furniture-style legs, topped in thick white quartz with generous seating for four. Rattan bistro counter stools, brass-banded shade pendants, a glossy herringbone tile backsplash, floating white oak shelves with brass gallery rails, and a fully paneled refrigerator keep the space feeling collected rather than stark. A professional-grade range and double wall ovens make it as serious about cooking as it is about style. Just off the kitchen, we designed a custom walk-in pantry with floor-to-ceiling shelving, quartz counters for small appliances, and cabinet storage below — keeping the main kitchen clutter-free. And for a jewel-box moment, the powder room bathroom design wraps the walls in a pink chinoiserie floral wallpaper, paired with a navy vanity, marble top, and unlacquered brass fixtures. As a full-service interior design firm in Raleigh, NC, Lavish handled this kitchen remodeling project from cabinetry design and appliance planning through the pantry, bathroom design, lighting, and final styling — proving that even the most timeless white kitchen can feel completely custom.
