Photographer Derrick Godson Clients brief was to create a modern stylish games room using a predominantly grey colour scheme. I designed a bespoke feature wall for the games room. I created an abstract panelled wall in a contrasting grey colour to add interest and depth to the space. I then specified a pool table with grey felt to enhance the interior scheme. Contemporary lighting was added. Other items included herringbone floor, made to order interior door with circular detailing and remote controlled custom blinds. The herringbone floor and statement lighting give this home a modern edge, whilst its use of neutral colours ensures it is inviting and timeless.

Textiles chosen for the custom ottoman, cornice and pillows extend the warm color story into the family room. Cinder gray leather seating on perpendicular walls surrounds a large storage ottoman which doubles as a footrest. Floor lamps on either side of the sofa provide illumination for reading and other task lighting activities. A plush abstract pattern area rug softens the space and repeats the cool neutral color scheme.

My clients are parents of 4 children under the age of 5 - they requested that their living room be functional, practical and of course look good! They wanted to maximize seating in the room but also did not want the room to feel cluttered. The main seating area includes a matching sofa and love seat along with a large comfortable chair. Both sofas are upholstered in a faux leather, which has proven to be very durable and cleanable. We agreed that two small ottomans were a good alternative to a large coffee table, so that they too could be used for extra seating and/or moved out of the way so her children could play games on the carpet. The ottomans are also upholstered in the faux leather to protect them from staining. A small shelf below the upholstered ottoman top is great for displaying books or other small decorative items. The large rug is a shag! I had this made by Barry Carpet on Pico Blvd. It is both stain resistant and adds to this warm and inviting living room. I suggested a storage bench on the far wall with a cushion atop of it to create an additional seating area. She knew she wanted blues, browns and tans for the color palette so we first selected the sofa fabric and I found this fabulous Clark & Clarke floral fabric at Durelee for the large chair. I always love a wow factor in each room and this chair is definitely just that! We pulled the colors together with the blue upholstered ottomans, bench cushion and coordinating, colorful stripe and floral pillows. The Ghost chairs on the sides of the fire place not only fill in the space around the fire place but also serve as additional seating. I tried to create a focal point on the fireplace with the round silver mirror, white coral, pair of floral vases and the plant of course. Another interesting feature in the room are the custom made two tone angled book cases. Not only do they look great, but they are both unique and functional as well. We chose shutters for the window treatments because we wanted the room to feel light and airy. The walls were painted blue to match the furniture. Art work, the small accessories all over the room, along with fresh flowers were the final touches. My client was thrilled with the results - it met her expectations that the room be a warm, cheery, inviting space for both her family to play and entertain. She once told me that she smiles every time she walks downstairs and sees the bench with the beautiful blue floral bench cushion. An expectation of mine that I have fulfilled as a designer.

The den which initially served as an office was converted into a television room. It doubles as a quiet reading nook. It faces into an interior courtyard, therefore, the light is generally dim, which was ideal for a media room. The small-scale furniture is grouped over an area rug which features an oversized arabesque-like design. The soft pleated shade pendant fixture provides a soft glow. Some of the client’s existing art collection is displayed.

Urban Project Management renovated the sitting room and included a custom made Murphy closet. We brought the room up to the 21st century with the latest styles.

Sophisticated and chic living room boasts a lot of natural light. The client wanted to keep the existing fireplace 'as is' so CURE Senior Designer, Melanie Christoff's challenge was to create a conversational space that was layered but simple. The elegant olive green leather chairs was the jumping off point for this space, adding in the bookcases that flank the fireplace to create more of a built in look and feel. The natural stump coffee table and the live edge benches serve as the perfect juxtaposition to the clean lines and metal finishes in this space.
