Color, Texture, Pattern
The Beginning
A new home with Builder-grade paint and finishes that lacked a sense of warmth and the feeling of "home."
The Concept
Begin in the foyer and use color, texture and pattern to connect all the first floor spaces. Add interior architectural details to create more of a custom-home look. New furnishings combine the client's updated-traditional style, comfort, and well-crafted details in the accent pieces.
The Transformation
Color: With a defined paint scheme, we unified the first floor spaces—flowing from the foyer into the kitchen, family room and breakfast room. Warm colors invite you into the space. A soft white on the trim, rather than a stark white, blends the colors together. A punch of teal blue creates a fresh accent.
Texture and Pattern: The first floor of this home is filled with hardwood floors, which we softened with beautiful area rugs. Like the paint scheme, the rugs connect the open space plan with texture and pattern.
Architectural Details: The fireplace in the family room becomes a stunning focal point with the addition of vibrant glass mosaic tile. Built-in shelves create extra storage and display space for art and photos. Crown molding gives the family room and kitchen a finished look. In the kitchen, a basket-weave tile backsplash complements the countertops and adds texture and dimension.
New Space Plan and Furniture Layout: The first floor space plan includes a new furniture layout for the family room that centers around a focal point—the fireplace—and incorporates lots of seating and comfy spaces. A punch of color comes from the coffee table ottoman. Accent furniture arranged throughout the first floor adds interest, color and even additional storage from such pieces as chests in the foyer and the breakfast room.
