Having something to pull inspiration from is important when you’re planning an interior design, new construction, or remodeling project. Whether it’s a picture of a room that you love, a piece of furniture that you’re drawn to, or a painting that you are totally in love with, these pieces of inspiration will help us craft the design plan that complements your style. When my husband and I decided it was time to redesign and remodel our master bath we went to what inspires us first.

Original art, sophisticated finishes, and a classic yet modern look is where we began with our inspiration. My husband really loved the grey marble tiles we found, so that’s where we started for our color palette and we built on that to create the master bath we’ve always dreamed of.

We talked about all of the things we would want in our dream bathroom. This was fun! Marble floors, beautiful fixtures, ample storage, velvet lined jewelry drawers, and even space for a tucked away ironing board. We kept the list going until we were ready to start talking about the design. That’s when we had the exciting time of seeing our vision come to life with these beautiful renderings of what our bathroom was soon to be!

Cobb Life Magazine featured our bathroom project and took these gorgeous photographs. I especially love seeing the before and after shots. The difference is amazing!

It has been funny and somewhat challenging to live in our home while the remodeling project was underway. But the dust has settled and we are so happy with the finished results!

Last month we toured a client’s finished basement complete with all the bells and whistles. This month we’ll tour this lovely Roswell Ranch home where tradition meets modern sophistication. The heart of this client’s home is the open layout where the kitchen, hearth, dining and living areas come together as one cohesive space. We love the unexpected zebra print rug in the dining room! Don’t be afraid to use interesting patterns and accessories that you love. It brings out your personality in your home. Have fun with it!

Using orange throughout has an energizing effect complemented by neutral tones and unique accessories. We opted to use white for the rug, table and other accessories because white is both modern and sophisticated…and this client happens to not have children or pets, so a white rug was a “go!” But if you love the modern white and you do have children or pets, opt for adding your white touches to accessories, lamp shades, throws and pillows (with removable inserts so you can launder them!)

We selected furniture and accessories with matte gold trim and hardware, such as the coffee table, lamp, and the beautiful half-oval chest. These metallics bring a touch of modern sophistication to the space.

Below, we used the clients existing leather sofa and coffee table but we made the space new again by adding colorful pillows and a throw along with brightening the space with a modern rug.  Having a new interior design plan doesn’t mean that your favorite sofa has to go. We can work with your “must stay” pieces and bring new life to them!

The custom walnut builtins we designed were constructed to allow for both accessory display and architectural interest. The custom shelves create a modern and unique art piece all its own, while the lighter walls allow the accessories to really show. Before, this was simply wasted space, now it has a purpose. Think of areas in your home that you can get creative with and use in a smart and stylish way.

In the next blog we will move to the guest room, office, and guest bath. We’ll share some great tips to help make your guests feel more at home. Perfect timing before summer!
