Adding the right soft furniture is key for any space. For industrial spaces like this, neutral materials with different textures work best against exposed brick walls. The right balance of rough and smooth surfaces creates an inviting and homely environment. Smooth out coarse industrial elements by incorporating soft furniture to your space. Combining a shaggy neutral rug and contemporary floor lamp to bring individual style and elegance to your space.

Blue/grey kitchen units were custom-made and paired with Corian and Stainless Steel work surfaces. The flooring is white ash, milled in Norfolk.

This living room was inspired by elements of nature: a flowing stream and river stones. The custom-made wall decor, glass panels, and custom tabletop mimic the fluid movement of water. Designer: Fumiko Faiman, ASID. Photo by: Jeri Koegel.

A colorblocked wall in Purple Passion provides the perfect backdrop as an enhancement of the artist's own original artwork. We added coffered ceilings with recessed lighting; the interesting definition is created in the new coffered ceiling by adding additional depth with gray paint. This balances the purple wall and coordinates with sofa and animal print on the chairs. A hand-knotted custom rug in a contemporary pattern grounds the conversation grouping, and motorized shades can be lowered to protect the furnishings or raised to any point to expose the beautiful ocean view.

It was a mutual love of Italy, specifically the Tuscan countryside, that inspired renowned architect Mark Scheurer and his wife, Jane, to build their dream home in a simplistic, but elegant style reminiscent of a centuries old Italian farmhouse. Scheurer’s aim was to bring light, air, and an indoor/outdoor feeling into the home while preserving privacy throughout this rustic Southern California home, all of which was achieved a lot in part due to the implementation of Eldorado Stone. The use of stone was a predominant element throughout the design. Scheurer used 2,800 square feet of a custom blend of Eldorado’s Veneto Fieldledge and Hillstone profiles, both of which were applied with an overgrout technique, creating a sense of ageless authenticity and textural beauty. Another 500 square feet was used in the interior to create a dramatic focal point of exposed stone in the living room and boast large, arching windows that open up the living room and filter in light. Upstairs, the master bedroom continues the home’s rustic Italian design with exposed stone walls that reach to the beamed ceiling above. Although Scheurer is in a neighborhood that request for real products to be used in home construction, he had no problem obtaining approval to use Eldorado Stone, which speaks volumes about Eldorado’s beauty and believability. No one doubted the authenticity of the product. In fact, Scheurer believes that Eldorado is even better than natural stone in that the color palette is easily controlled as well as consistent.

Comfortable yet elegant for that homeowner that actually lives in their spaces! Here we faux finished the cabinets with a trellis pattern to go with our "Bird Bath" theme. We painted the brick wall and added moss and bugs. The upper corner we painted as if it were crumbling to reveal the sky outside. We added a mirror from Uttermost that has bird's nests all around the frame. To open up the space we mirrored the closet doors to appear as french doors to a patio. It was a fun project!

Wall panelling tones down the strong pattern on the rest of the walls.

Designed to comfortably accommodate a growing family, a full open chef’s kitchen with peninsula island was added to the open loft layout. From the dining area and throughout reclaimed wood finishes and furniture, like the rustic farm house dining table and sideboard were used to complement the historic nature of the building. To further preserve and showcase the building’s historic details, plaster was removed from the walls to expose the original brick.

We added the brick wall and beams on a plain drywall condo interior to bring a new york loft look to a very dull space. There is full depth storage drawers built into the bed and a large custom matching dresser at a very shallow depth opposite the bedwall to get the most storage possible in a tight bedroom. We opened up the doorway to the closet, removed the closet doors and added wrought iron trim and custom curtains for a very casual look! Kori Nightingale
