Around the Studio
Home Furnishings | Full-House Design
We believe that the most important choices are the most personal - in your own home - whether it's watching Netflix on the sofa or drinking coffee in your favorite chair each morning. Well-chosen furniture pieces can make or break how well our home functions. Creating a beautiful, cohesive full-home furniture design takes a home to the next level- making it a space you can love for a lifetime.
Outdoor Spaces | Hot Tub Home Addition
Living the outdoor dream means something different to everyone, but this custom outdoor space and hot tub(!) is a custom home addition that would have anyone ready to permanently relocate to their own outdoor oasis. Created specifically for a busy family home, this design was much more than a hot tub landing pad- it was a seamless and beautiful extension of the home itself.
Great Room | Beautiful Blue
We've loved taking you on a tour of this beautiful blue Modern Coastal home design. And today we'll show you the final, incredible finish of this multi-room design- the Modern Coastal Great Room. Oh y'all, this one is just so glorious! Not only do these homeowners have great taste, but we really got to have so much design-fun with this space- bringing in extra plush seating, artfully layered patterns, large art, and all the unique coastal-inspired details we love.
The Modern Coastal Keeping Room
Creating a seamless transition from room to room is one of our favorite facets of a perfectly finished space, and this beautiful Modern Coastal Keeping Room was the perfect opportunity to work that creative design flow. With a bright, open area encompassing the kitchen, dining room, and keeping room, writing a gorgeous color story and weaving in those fresh coastal details made this entire space feel synchronous, polished, and complete.
Kitchen Design- Modern Coastal Blues
Bringing some modern waterside charm to this crisp, beautiful kitchen allowed these homeowners to connect with their happy place. This modern coastal kitchen design is full of rich blues, just the right maritime touches, and a modern, sophisticated update on a classic style. We can all use a little light and warmth right now in these long days of winter (especially this year!), and we're here to spread that sunny vibe as we take you on a tour of all the design moments we lovingly created for this home.
Plush | A Neutral Bedroom Retreat
When it comes to great bedroom design, comfort and beauty go hand in hand- and that's what we love the most about this neutral-inspired bedroom retreat. With plush texture and gorgeous tones tucked into every corner, this serene spot is crafted to be its own relaxing world. We're taking you on an inside look at this gorgeous scene, from the tonal color-scape to the layers, light, and carefully chosen design nuances that bring it all together.
The Modern Parlor | Formal Living Room Design
Modern, beautiful, formal, and a truly unique all-in-one - this Parlor design is something we could not WAIT to share with you. Part of a large-scale home design for a wonderful family, this Formal Living Room space embodies classic beauty with a modern feel.
Living Room Style | Modern-Traditional
This living room design came together as such a beautiful fusion of modern and traditional style, we couldn't wait to share all the details with you. Although we work with clients all over the Eastern US, our studio and home base is in the heart of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and we love it when we get a chance to create beautiful spaces right here in our hometown.
Falling for Orange: Design Color Crush
Fall color is all around, and today we wanted to give some much-deserved love to orange-inspired design. While we don't always think of this hue as a traditional staple of the home design color palette, orange can be so much more than just an October one-off. When placed with creativity, art and skill, it's a design bombshell that can bring glamour and glow to any space.
