Timeless Style with a Twist

This classic contemporary home blends elevated finishes with unexpected design moments—creating a space that feels both refined and full of personality. The client wanted a fresh, timeless aesthetic with a touch of drama, and the result is a beautifully layered interior where clean lines meet bold choices.

STANDOUT DETAILS:

  • Dramatic floor-to-ceiling black grid windows
  • Full bar with wine fridge and custom lighting
  • Bold wallpaper in the entryway
  • Brick fireplace in the living room
  • Refined office with custom design touches

A show-stopping bar area serves as the heart of the home’s entertaining space, complete with undercounter lighting, backlit shelves, and a dedicated wine fridge. In the entryway, graphic wallpaper sets the tone with style and confidence. Throughout the open concept kitchen and dining area, bold light fixtures add a sculptural element, while black grid windows bring in natural light and architectural charm.

The living room features a brick fireplace that adds warmth and texture, while a sleek office space balances function and style. Each element was selected to create a cohesive yet surprising environment that reflects the client’s personal taste.
