We used panel-ready appliances to not take away from the beautiful custom cabinetry done in this space. The warm wood stain selected here is perfectly complimented with a dark contrasting island in shade Borreal Forest.
"Should we spend the money and design a family home? Is it even worth it when you have young kids?"
This is a question we get asked often. But the truth is, most of our clients have kids and animals, so we make sure that all of our materials selected from the ground up are family friendly.
For this home, we selected a durable quartz countertop paired with a wipeable tile backsplash, making this kitchen ideal for cooking - yet still esthetically pleasing. By mixing metals and cabinet finishes, it elevates the space and pushes the boundary on design expectations.
We always put careful consideration into our client's lifestyle before selecting any type of flooring, paint sheen, countertop, sofa fabric, rug - and the list goes on.
The stone fireplace is flanked by two custom built-ins that house so many family memories, heirlooms, photos and art. These built-ins are proof that you can mix some classic accent pieces with family collectibles and finish it off with a few family photos to really bring life to the space.
When you take the family's lifestyle into consideration, you're not only met with a timeless design that can withstand little sticky fingers, but also the knowledge that you are creating lifelong memories for these families.
We selected a washable rug that not only adds warmth and texture but anchors the space.
They will be gathered around tables for birthday dinners and plenty of holiday meals. Young and old will be piled on the sofa laughing and enjoying family nights together. That should be any designer's main focus when creating a home for a family.
