Sexy is back in vogue and this house remodel proves it. The goal for this design was to keep it chic and keep it foxy. Other than enjoying each other's company and the cuddles of their dog kids, these clients love to entertain. We wanted to create a classic interior design that layered every neutral tone in the book. I hope you love walking through this stylish interior design as much as I loved pulling it all together.
This is a grand formal living room dripping in style! Features a fantastic black painted wood fireplace with a deer head crowning it off. We used gold accents in a strong way to keep this space feeling classic and chic.
Painted pictures of their dogs flank the fireplace and peek over these sculptural gold lamps. A gold tone shad run connects the two sister sofa’s and plays nicely off the warm tone of the wall color.
The purpose of this space was to create an intimate space to hang out with an after dinner cocktail. Because of the soaring ceilings, we decided to set the room up with twin sofas facing each other to direct the conversation towards one another, allowing that feeling of intimacy.
Both sides of the room are also flanks with sets of large windows which allow fantastic natural light to flood in. This meant we were able to go deeper with the color choices in the room without making it feel dank and dreary.
By layer neutrals from across the spectrum, we were able to accomplish created a a dynamic space with a ton of visual interest.
The large windows allow so much natural light in lifting the vibe of the room. Having a glass top cocktail table also gave us a surface for that natural light to bounce off and great ambient glow.
The base of this cocktail table is amazing! The subtle shape of the stretchers provide just enough pattern to make this design sing.
The stark contrast from the natural tones in the trophy agains the black painted wood fireplace truly modernizes the use of taxidermy.
These gold antlers is a fun way of modernizing the use of deer in a Texas interior design. Other modern gold accents were used to bring it all together.
To connect with the deer head on the fireplace, we decided to use a modern silhouette of a deer on throw pillow.
I love the peek-a-boo of the detailing on the contrasting trim we did around the base of the sofa. Additionally, adding natural wood elements brings so much life into this design.
This fabulous updated stacked stone fireplace front was added to give a lot of texture and dimension. What I love most about it is the metallic flecks of copper throughout.
Walking into the main heart of the home is a treat for the eyes. We packed a lot into this open concept living dining, and kitchen area.
We wanted to use high end materials for this design project to make every square foot have impact. The dining chairs are made out of mohair bringing that sexy luxe flavor.
The caramel colored mohair dining chairs lined in antiqued brass nail heads in detail allow you to see how fantastic they are. The curved back is sheer perfection with this round top dining table.
The dining area has great storage with a custom build in cabinet. We highlighted the wood by painting the back black and using black marble for the counter tops.
We elevated the design of the dining rooms built in by adding a honed back marble counter top and continuing it up on to the backsplash. I also love how it allows gold accessories like this sculpture to make an impact!
Other elements in this space is the mixing of metals, which is very important when doing a layered neutral design. The dining table base and fixture are an industrial feeling oil rubbed bronze while you will see other accents in the space having gold and silver tones.
Natural colored barstools with caramel colored wood legs provide much needed extra seating for clients who love to entertain.
This is the epitome of a sexy classic kitchen design. We did a deep black kitchen cabinet color with classic marble for the countertops. The backsplash is chevron marble creating texture and style. An angled center island was added for extra workspace and to define the space.
Having a window above the sink lets in a lot of natural light which helps this kitchen not feel so dark. The other way we lightened the kitchen was with the contrasting white marble throughout.
This view lets us see how much of a chefs kitchen this truly is. It' was very important to be able to have a high end gas range for all of the fantastic meals that would be cooked.
Another classic element infused into this interior design was the white porcelain farmhouse apron front sink.
To create something different and unexpected, we used a chevron marble backsplash and turned it on it’s side. This helped visually raise the backsplash area and draw the eye up.
One final way we decided to help the cabinets not feel so dark was with nickel hardware. This not only contrasts well with the kitchen cabinets, it adds a classic design element.
One last look into this fabulous kitchen for appreciation. I love a good classic traditional black and white kitchen.
I love the natural variations with marble and these counter tops deliver!
We continue our tour with more layers of neutrals throughout the main living space.
When designing a living room that has an unusual shape, it’s important to fill it with the right furniture to maximize usability while maintaining an open and inviting feel. We did this by having a sectional with a chaise and a single swivel chair.
Adding to the entertaining vibe of this home is a fantastic built in dry bar with plenty of wine storage. We also left the built in tv cabinet because my client didn’t want to draw focus away from the fireplace.
The main feature of the room is this original artwork of a lounging male nude. This view has so many layers to unpack, layering everything that is sexy about this design.
A fun fact about this project is we designed the entire home around my clients favorite work of art they own. I love the vulnerability of this art and how it’s the main feature of this design.
I can’t get enough of a curated cocktail table. We brought in depth, texture, and gold to create this perfectly accessorized coffee table.
A touch of rustic elegance with the metal top coffee table brings a casual element into the space that say, “kick your feet up and relax."
We decided to keep the windows unobscured and simple add non functioning drapes to the family room. It finished the space and allowed the natural light to flow through the home.
An unexpected detail in the draperies is the oil rubbed bronze twisted metal rod. Add’s just enough traditional element without overwhelming the space. We also chose to keep it simple with a pinch pleat on the drapes.
This fabric is one of my favorites! It surprises you with a classic traditional houndstooth pattern, but layered in is an updated check.
The fireplace screen is a mixed metal traditional style layered nicely.
To leave a natural element in the room, we decided to use a natural edge stone slab for the fireplace hearth. Another fun and unique feature to this classic, chic, and sext interior.
