There were a few goals for this main level living space remodel, first and for most to enhance the breath taking views of the Tacoma Narrows Strait of the Puget Sound. Secondly to also enhance and restore the original mid-century architecture and lastly to modernize the spaces with style and functionality. The layout changed by removing the walls separating the kitchen and entryway from the living spaces along with reducing the coat closet from 72 inches wide to 48 wide opening up the entry space. The original wood wall provides the mid-century architecture by combining the wood wall with the rich cork floors and contrasting them both with the floor to ceiling crisp white stacked slate fireplace we created the modern feel the client desired. Adding to the contrast of the warm wood tones the kitchen features the cool grey custom modern cabinetry, white and grey quartz countertops with an eye popping blue crystal quartz on the raise island countertop and bar top. To balance the wood wall the bar cabinetry on the opposite side of the space was finished in a honey stain. The furniture pieces are primarily blue and grey hues to coordinate with the beautiful glass tiled backsplash and crystal blue countertops in the kitchen. Lastly the accessories and accents are a combination of oranges and greens to follow in the mid-century color pallet and contrast the blue hues.

If you are googling about picking wall art for your home, then you probably fall into one of two categories. Either your walls are way too bare, or they're smothered in outdated and generic artwork that doesn't represent you anymore! Don’t worry – neither of these situations have to last forever, and there are plenty of stylish ways to make sure that your personality gets to shine in your room decor as well as in the rest of your life! Just follow these 8 wall art ideas from our bedroom designer below, and get ready to be the star of your own show! 1) Blank Walls can be Fun If you're online researching how to buy any sort of wall art for your home, then you fall into one of two categories. It seems either your walls are bare, or your art isn't fitting. Either way, it doesn't represent you! But blank walls don’t have to be boring. In fact, they can be a canvas for you to express your unique personality. 2) Create an eye-catching Statement Piece A big, bold piece of wall art is the perfect way to make a statement in your room. But if you’re not careful, it can also look like you’re trying too hard. The key is to find a piece that reflects your personality and style, without being too over-the-top. 3) Hang something Larger than Life Go big or go home, right? Especially when it comes to wall art. Hanging a large piece of artwork will make a huge impact in your room. It’ll be the first thing people see when they walk in, and it’ll set the tone for the rest of your decor. Plus, it’s a great way to fill up a large wall space. Just make sure you pick a piece that you really love – you’ll be looking at it every day. For further Inspiration you can check out Wall Art Ideas from Unique-Canvas.com to decorate your Room. 4) Use a Vibrant Focal Point A focal point is a great way to add drama and interest to a room. It can be anything from a piece of wall art to a piece of furniture. In this case, we’re going to focus on wall art. A vibrant focal point will add color and life to your room. Making a statement and displaying your personality is easy with this. 5) Smaller is Better People often make the mistake of thinking that they need large, expensive pieces of art to fill up a large, empty wall. But the truth is, sometimes all you need is a small piece of art that packs a big punch. A small piece of art can be more intimate and personal, and it can also be less expensive. So if you’re looking for wall art ideas that are both unique and budget-friendly, try looking for smaller pieces! 6) Get Personal When it comes to wall art, the most important thing is that it speaks to you on a personal level. You should let your home reflect who you are and what you love! 7) Adorn yourself with Soulful Quotes A great way to show off your personality is with soulful quotes. Pick out a few of your favourites and have them printed on canvas. You can hang them up in your room or office as a daily reminder of what’s important to you. 8) Add some Colourful Décor Pieces A blank wall is like a blank canvas—it’s begging to be filled with something colorful and eye-catching! That said, if you're still unsure of where to start, don't worry. We’ve got eight wall art ideas that will help you decorate your room and bring out your personality. Final Thought No matter what your style is, you can find wall art that represents you. The key is to take your time searching for the right piece, and don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone.

M. P. m’a contactée afin d’avoir des idées de réaménagement de son espace, lors d’une visite conseil. Et chemin faisant, le projet a évolué: il a alors souhaité me confier la restructuration totale de son espace, pour une rénovation en profondeur. Le souhait: habiter confortablement, créer une vraie chambre, une salle d’eau chic digne d’un hôtel, une cuisine pratique et agréable, et des meubles adaptés sans surcharger. Le tout dans une ambiance fleurie, colorée, qui lui ressemble! L’étude a donc démarré en réorganisant l’espace: la salle de bain s’est largement agrandie, une vraie chambre séparée de la pièce principale, avec un lit confort +++, et (magie de l’architecture intérieure!) l’espace principal n’a pas été réduit pour autant, il est même beaucoup plus spacieux et confortable! Tout ceci avec un dressing conséquent, et une belle entrée! Durant le chantier, nous nous sommes rendus compte que l’isolation du mur extérieur était inefficace, la laine de verre était complètement affaissée suite à un dégat des eaux. Tout a été refait, du sol au plafond, l’appartement en plus d’être tout beau, offre un vrai confort thermique à son propriétaire. J’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à travailler sur ce projet, j’espère que vous en aurez tout autant à le découvrir!

En esta ocasión, participamos en el primer evento de decoración realizado en la ciudad de Málaga: Málaga Decora 2018. El evento tuvo lugar en La Térmica, un centro de creación y producción cultural contemporánea gestionado por la Diputación de Málaga.​ En él pudimos participar diferentes profesionales del mundo del interiorismo y la decoración, donde tuvimos que intervenir unas estancias que en su origen servían de dormitorios, transformándolos y creando cada cual un espacio diferente. A nuestra intervención le dimos el nombre de "La Salita", quisimos realizar una decoración muy atrevida y teatral, en las que las protagonistas fueran las paredes, ya que la habitación tenía una altura libre de suelo a techo de 4 m. También diseñamos e hicimos a mano una gran lámpara que coronaba la estancia. Creamos un diseño especial basándonos en la idea de los libros "pop up" realizado en papel cortado y plegado a mano. A eso se le añadió lo que supuso pegar los rollos de 3 m de papel ya cortado, con el peso que tenía y sin romperlo. ¡Fueron dos semanas de trabajo intensivo y muy duro que nunca olvidaremos!

An eclectic, modern media room with bold accents of black metals, natural woods, and terra cotta tile floors. We wanted to design a fresh and modern hangout spot for these clients, whether they’re hosting friends or watching the game, this entertainment room had to fit every occasion. We designed a full home bar, which looks dashing right next to the wooden accent wall and foosball table. The sitting area is full of luxe seating, with a large gray sofa and warm brown leather arm chairs. Additional seating was snuck in via black metal chairs that fit seamlessly into the built-in desk and sideboard table (behind the sofa).... In total, there is plenty of seats for a large party, which is exactly what our client needed. Lastly, we updated the french doors with a chic, modern black trim, a small detail that offered an instant pick-me-up. The black trim also looks effortless against the black accents.

A fun, cozy, functional family room where one can whine down after a long day or have a game night with kids or have a family movie night!! Multi color and width stripes creates a unique definition in the room!!

Brief: Create a room that wasn’t just a ‘man-cave’ but one that worked for all the family, and friends, too. It had to be a room that is ‘all things to all people’, so had to be designed to allow multiple activities to happen at the same time in the same space. The lighting, sound, and vision had to work on their own, and together.

This expansive, casual, Family Room opens off of the Kitchen, and features a 2-story vaulted ceiling with custom timber trusses, a Juliette Balcony with a wrought iron railing which opens to the Second Floor Play Room, and a large Antique Wood Mantel at the wood burning fireplace. Dark stained hardwood flooring combines with the dark stained wood work and trusses to create a rich but comfortable living space.

A circa 1920 wood frame house, the Maupas Residence required a seamless restoration of an original fireplace. An update of the hearth, firebox, and surround, supported the preservation of its original elements and ensured this historical attribute remained a central feature of the home.
