Living room - transitional formal and open concept medium tone wood floor and brown floor living room idea in Boise with gray walls and a wall-mounted tv

When this 6,000-square-foot vacation home suffered water damage in its family room, the homeowners decided it was time to update the interiors at large. They wanted an elegant, sophisticated, and comfortable style that served their lives but also required a design that would preserve and enhance various existing details. To begin, we focused on the timeless and most interesting aspects of the existing design. Details such as Spanish tile floors in the entry and kitchen were kept, as were the dining room's spirited marine-blue combed walls, which were refinished to add even more depth. A beloved lacquered linen coffee table was also incorporated into the great room's updated design. To modernize the interior, we looked to the home's gorgeous water views, bringing in colors and textures that related to sand, sea, and sky. In the great room, for example, textured wall coverings, nubby linen, woven chairs, and a custom mosaic backsplash all refer to the natural colors and textures just outside. Likewise, a rose garden outside the master bedroom and study informed color selections there. We updated lighting and plumbing fixtures and added a mix of antique and new furnishings. In the great room, seating and tables were specified to fit multiple configurations – the sofa can be moved to a window bay to maximize summer views, for example, but can easily be moved by the fireplace during chillier months.

Marble is majestic. Black and white is classic. Notice the kitchen tile back-splash fills the wall over the doorway and the window too. In the bath, tile surrounds the tub and toilet walls. The shower accent tile adds the glam. We chose Sherwin Williams Window Pane 6210 for the Kitchen and Sherwin Williams Topsail 6217 for the Master Bath. Majestic, classic, clean and fresh!
