A MAIN FLOOR REDESIGN
Transforming a builder-grade home into one that feels personal, layered, and thoughtfully curated. The brief was simple: glamorous, but calm. Refined enough to feel elevated, comfortable enough for everyday family life, and balanced to reflect both husband and wife.
Scope: Main floor refresh • Entry • Living • Dining • Kitchen styling
WHERE WE BEGAN
The home had beautiful bones, but builder-grade finishes left it feeling impersonal. Rather than starting over, the goal was to uncover the homeowners’ style through thoughtful refinements—creating a home that felt elevated, personal, and functional while respecting both the budget and everyday life.
WHAT WASN'T WORKING
-
The builder-grade paint lacked warmth and wasn’t highlighting the home’s natural light.
-
Existing draperies didn’t showcase the beautiful windows or ceiling height.
-
While many of the existing furnishings were high quality, a few key pieces needed updating to elevate the overall design.
-
Outdated light fixtures kept the home from feeling current and cohesive.
-
The soft furnishings didn’t reflect the family’s love of bold artwork or their evolving personal style.
THE VISION
Planned Updates
-
Repaint the entire main floor, color-drenching walls and trim while introducing accent moments where appropriate.
-
Replace existing draperies with fuller, more luxurious treatments that better frame the home’s architecture.
-
Introduce wallpaper to create bold focal points and layers of personality.
-
Add custom millwork to enhance architectural character throughout the home.
-
Replace key furnishings—including the sectional and entry bench—to better reflect the family’s style.
-
Update lighting to add warmth, drama, and visual interest.
-
Layer in artwork, textiles, and accessories to complete the home's new design language.
