Fashion and Interior Design go hand-in-hand. When trend-setting fashion houses, such as Oscar de la Renta, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, or Marc Jacobs, reveal their collections during fashion week, you can bet some of those design elements start showing up at High Point the following season. Whether it’s color, texture, pattern, or structure, interior design and it’s furnishings are drawing inspiration from catwalks and red carpets to the magazines of Vogue.

Flow is just as important as function and storage when it comes to a kitchen’s design. The challenge for our client was that her kitchen felt, “closed off from the rest of the home,” which has a modern open layout. The cabinets, countertops and backsplash were standard builder selections and fell short of adding any excitement to the space. Our client’s number one wish was to open up the kitchen to the rest of her home. Adding color and selecting rich finishes would give way to a dynamic personality for her kitchen. She didn’t have the budget to overhaul the cabinets but knew it needed some life and light. These photos are of the original Kitchen…
We removed a section of cabinets that separated the kitchen from the living room in order to achieve the open-flow design our client was intent on. A beautiful granite slab replaced the original tile countertops. Task lighting was an issue so additional ceiling cans and under cabinet lights were added to improve the light quality throughout the space.
The taupe glass tile brings movement and pattern to the backsplash and is highlighted by the under-cabinet lighting.
The upper cabinet doors were replaced with frosted glass panels to give a more open, light feel.
The finishing touches to the renovation: a rich Benjamin Moore paint color selected for the kitchen and hallway, and a fabulous Laura Weitzner wall covering applied to the floating wall…color and texture are easy ways to bring attention to an architectural element.
In the end, the room was transformed from an ordinary kitchen to a space the client absolutely loves!!!
Many people are faced with the challenge of how they can update a room using existing furniture and incorporating new. As designers, we are mindful of the emotional attachments people have with their furnishings and are focused on the seamless integration of “old” and “new” items. Recently, our client asked us to rejuvenate her master bedroom. She requested a colorful environment with a soft, feminine flair that would breathe life into the space.
Our first priority for this project was to improve the scale of the furnishings within her bedroom. One of the solutions was to select appropriate table lamps for the two nightstands and antique occasional table.
Below, are the lamp options we presented to our client:
In the end, our client selected the lamp on the left for her two nightstands. Their appropriate scale, graceful shape and warm metal tones mix beautifully with the accent hardware on her existing case goods.
She selected the tall floral lamp for the antique occasional table. This fanciful lamp will be a statement piece in the room and provide a delicate feminine touch to the ornate table.
Stay tuned for the room’s transformation with the installation of the three new table lamps, the refinished bed and nightstands, new bedding as well as new window treatments…
