Wet bar - transitional single-wall dark wood floor and brown floor wet bar idea in Dallas with shaker cabinets, black cabinets, black backsplash, subway tile backsplash and gray countertops

This home was designed for a young professional with a busy career in tech who wanted a place to come home to and fully exhale. She's well traveled, loves Europe and knows her wine, and her favorite cities, Paris and New York among them, shaped every room. The result is warm, quiet and collected, with a little European soul. In the living room, soft linen Roman shades, a slipcovered linen sofa and a velvet swivel chair set a calm, layered tone, while brass lighting and a dark stone fireplace add warmth and weight. A custom curved bench built by a local craftsman does triple duty as extra seating, a drop zone and her pup's favorite perch for watching the street. The dining room centers on a white oak table under alabaster cone pendants hung from oversized chain. Upholstered wood-frame chairs, velvet host chairs, a sculptural dark wood sideboard and a vintage rug make it feel like a place to linger over a good bottle of wine, and the art nods to her love of both wine and Paris. The bathroom didn't exist before. We carved it out of a second living area and built it from scratch, with a mitered-edge natural stone vanity top, an integrated brass sink, brass fixtures, a sculptural mirror and dark stacked tile in a frameless glass shower. It feels like a small European hotel moment. Transitional, European-inspired interior design in Wilmington, NC by Kasey Smith Interiors. Photos by Abigail Jackson Photography.
