Traditional Carson, CA. Kitchen / Dining Area Remodel

Custom Design & Construction

We were honored to be asked by this recently retired aerospace employee and soon to be retired physician’s assistant to design and remodel their kitchen and dining area. Since they love to cook – they felt that it was time for them to get their dream kitchen. They knew that they wanted a traditional style complete with glazed cabinets and oil rubbed bronze hardware. Also important to them were full height cabinets. In order to get them we had to remove the soffits from the ceiling. Also full height is the glass backsplash. To create a kitchen designed for a chef you need a commercial free standing range but you also need a lot of pantry space. There is a dual pull out pantry with wire baskets to ensure that the homeowners can store all of their ingredients. The new floor is a caramel bamboo.

West Vancouver, Montiverdi Estates, Residential Renovation

LCI Design

West facing living room with floor to ceiling windows allows views of sunsets and plenty of afternoon light year round . The previously white walls were painted in Benjamin Moore 'Brandon Beige'. The original wall to wall ,white carpet was replaced with Teragren strand bamboo flooring. The original fireplace was covered in mirrors , which was replaced with limestone and the hearth was built out to create a concrete tiled bench. Since it was important to maintain the view, it was decided to purchase two Ligne Roset, 'French Line' white leather arm chairs with solid oak arms and legs that look elegant and don't obscure the view. The pockel door to den /office was replaced with a custom made shoji door.

Ash Street Whole Home Interior Design and Renovation

Evelyn M Interiors

It all started with a colour consultation that side tracked onto the homeowner’s fireplace. It soon turned into a whole home interior design and renovation. The homeowner originally wanted to know what I thought of adding a mantle to the painted white brick on his fireplace and I answered honestly by saying I didn’t think it was money well spent due to the outdated look of the fireplace peninsula. The homeowner then admitted he didn’t like the look of the fireplace and wanted to know what I would do to change it. That conversation was the beginning of a complete redesign to this Ash Street home. photo credit; Evelyn M Interiors

Urban Loft DC Row Home - Staged for Sale

Signature Design Interiors

With a listing price of just under $4 million, this gorgeous row home located near the Convention Center in Washington DC required a very specific look to attract the proper buyer. The home has been completely remodeled in a modern style with bamboo flooring and bamboo kitchen cabinetry so the furnishings and decor needed to be complimentary. Typically, transitional furnishings are used in staging across the board, however, for this property we wanted an urban loft, industrial look with heavy elements of reclaimed wood to create a city, hotel luxe style. As with all DC properties, this one is long and narrow but is completely open concept on each level, so continuity in color and design selections was critical. The row home had several open areas that needed a defined purpose such as a reception area, which includes a full bar service area, pub tables, stools and several comfortable seating areas for additional entertaining. It also boasts an in law suite with kitchen and living quarters as well as 3 outdoor spaces, which are highly sought after in the District.

This living room is a well curated space that boasts eclectic furniture and style. The fireplace and mantel was original to the house, but the rest of the room lacked architectural detail to support this focal point. We introduced elements like a ceiling medallion which had similar ornamental detail as the fireplace insert. We juxtaposed the traditional ceiling medallion with an industrial modern light fixture that’s high in contrast to the white ceiling. Other architectural details were introduced through trim application. Our favorite detail is the doubled baseboard around the perimeter of the room which could have decreased the ceiling height visually, but by introducing crown molding at the top and painting it the same colour as the wall, we visually extended the height of the wall onto the ceiling which balanced the larger scale baseboard at the bottom of the room.

A living room, often referred to as a lounge room in Australia and New Zealand, is the hub of the home. If you only have one living room in the house, it’s likely to serve multiple purposes: be it a place to watch TV, play games, spend quality time with family or hang out with friends. If you have the luxury of two living areas, one is usually a formal living room or lounge room, reserved for reading, relaxing and entertaining. A successful living room design is inviting, has enough seating for the whole clan – a comfortable couch is a must – and encourages conversation. Browse photos on Houzz for living room layouts, furniture and decor, and strike up a conversation with the interior designers or architects of your favourite picks.

Which living room layouts will work best for you?

Every living area will have design challenges. A long, narrow lounge room, for example, risks looking like a hallway if furniture is lined up against the walls. Instead, opt for small furniture items, like a cosy two-seater couch, and create various focal points throughout the space. In square living rooms, a symmetrical layout encourages a formal setting. Place seating on either side of the room, with a focal point in the middle to pull the room together. For a truly intimate vibe, replace your couch with some occasional chairs positioned around a coffee table or ottoman. This will make the main focus conversation. An open-plan home – one where the lines are blurred between kitchen, dining and living – may require a layout that focuses on definition. You’ll want to make sure furniture doesn’t block the flow between spaces, and instead use something like an area rug to create zones.

How can you decorate your living room?

The living room can be a place in which to show off your personality, but if you want a timeless living room scheme, stick to neutral walls, couches and ottomans. Colour can be added through accessories, and is a lot more interchangeable! Rugs, cushions and throws are great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and ceiling lights will set the mood. Make your living room unique by including family heirlooms and photos. For a polished look, try creating a coffee table vignette – you could use books as pedestals or group items together on a tray. Try adding a vase, a mixture of round and rectangular objects and some books.

What are some small living room ideas?

Small living room designs can be tricky to work with, but aren’t doomed to fail. Often, you just have to get creative with furniture. An open-back chaise can create a sense of spaciousness, while small side tables paired together can substitute a coffee table. Even better, an ottoman can be used as a footrest, coffee table or extra seating. Big furniture items like the couch are best kept in light colours, and if there’s room for a coffee table, a glass-top one is best. If you have two spaces in one – perhaps your living room sits in front of a single-wall kitchen – make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. For definition, just add area rugs, or use your couch as a dividing wall. It’s worth having a few furniture pieces, whether a bookshelf, couch or entertainment unit, in the same colour as the walls, too, so they blend into the room and visually expand the space.

Is open-plan living for you?

Today’s homes often embrace open-plan living, whereby the living room runs off the kitchen and/or dining areas. Open-plan living allows greater functionality, but can risk creating a vast, soulless space if not done right. To avoid a cavernous feel in an open-plan design, define areas with furniture, rugs and lighting, or consider using a wall divider. Also be sure to keep flooring, lighting and materials consistent throughout, for cohesiveness. Noise may be an issue – someone banging pots and pans while you’re watching TV, for example – so include lots of soft furnishings, such as rugs, curtains and couches to help absorb the noise. You will also need to factor in plenty of storage, so mess is kept at bay.
