Family Room

This formal living room embraces maximalist design with a gold and silver floral wallpaper accent wall (Seabrook Designs Nouveau Luxe). The other walls are painted Benjamin Moore Sparrow green. Traditional elegance is enhanced with the crown molding and layered lighting including wall sconces.

Acting as a blank canvas, this compact Yaletown condo and its gutsy homeowners welcomed our kaleidoscopic creative vision and gave us free reign to funk up their otherwise drab pad. Colorless Ikea sofas and blank walls were traded for ultra luxe, Palm-Springs-inspired statement pieces. Wallpaper, painted pattern and foil treatments were used to give each of the tight spaces more 'larger-than-life' personality. In a city surrounded yearly with grey, rain-filled clouds and towers of glass, the overarching goal for the home was building upon a foundation of fun! In curating the home's collection of eccentric art and accessories, nothing was off limits. Each piece was handpicked from up-and-coming artists' online shops, local boutiques and galleries. The custom velvet, feather-filled sectional and its many pillows was used to make the space as much for lounging as it is for looking. Since completion, the globe-trotting duo have continued to add to their newly designed abode - both true converts to the notion that sometimes more is definitely more.

This family room was totally redesigned with new shelving and all new furniture. The blue grasscloth added texture and interest. The fabrics are all kid friendly and the rug is an indoor/outdoor rug by Stark. Photo by: Melodie Hayes

Located in stylish Chelsea, this updated five-floor townhouse incorporates both a bold, modern aesthetic and sophisticated, polished taste. Palettes range from vibrant and playful colors in the family and kids’ spaces to softer, rich tones in the master bedroom and formal dining room. DHD interiors embraced the client’s adventurous taste, incorporating dynamic prints and striking wallpaper into each room, and a stunning floor-to-floor stair runner. Lighting became one of the most crucial elements as well, as ornate vintage fixtures and eye-catching sconces are featured throughout the home.

L’appartamento, di circa 100 mq, situato nel cuore di Ercolano, fa del colore MARSALA la sua nota distintiva. Il progetto parte dal recupero di parte dell’arredo esistente, dalla voglia di cambiamento dell’immagine dello spazio e dalle nuove esigenze funzionali richieste dalla Committenza. Attraverso arredi e complementi all’appartamento è stato dato un carattere confortevole ed accogliente, anche e soprattutto nei toni e nei colori di essi. Il colore del legno a pavimento si sposa bene con quello delle pareti e, insieme ai tappeti, ai tessuti e alla finiture, contribuisce a rendere calda l’atmosfera. Ingresso e soggiorno si fondano in unico ambiente delineando lo spazio con più personalità dell’abitazione, mentre l’accesso alla cucina è reso mediante una porta scorrevole in vetro.

Chapter One Interiors and Ambient Lounge SG helped create this beautiful lower level apartment with exposed brick that uses is light and comfortable for living. The very small living room space is solved by using the Ambient Lounge Twin Couch bean bag and Vera Table as it's showpiece furniture. The tone of the Eco Weave fabric balances the exposed brick and wood features and creates light textures that make the feeling so relax but stylish.
