Refreshing Spring Spaces

With spring in full bloom, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home’s interior or exterior spaces.

Heart of the Home

A thoughtful layout combines with understated decorative elements to give this kitchen flourish and charm. Uncluttered lines, soft colors, and airy, open light fixtures give a unified feel, but subtle modern farmhouse details make it shine. An elegantly shaped custom marble backsplash, cutout toe kick molding, and decorative hardware add to the allure.

Sumptuous and Serene

Against a fanciful seafoam backdrop, adept pairings of pattern, texture, and style combine in a harmonious dining room that feels both classic and current. Gathered around a stately table with a rich espresso finish, chic French chairs repeat the wall palette with a solid light turquoise on the fronts and a muted print on the backs. On crisp white drapery panels, an embroidered flange with a seafoam coral design echoes the scheme.

Scenic Muse

With the aura of a tranquil country estate, inviting furniture provides ample seating around the hearth on this spacious terrace. Chic neutrals blend with natural materials like rattan sofas and wooden tables, punctuated by notes of pale, calming blue. Plush cushions and pillows beckon visitors to linger. The dining area showcases a skillful mingling of fixtures and accessories, from an old-fashioned table with a parquet pattern and iron legs to Lucite dining chairs that instill a contemporary touch.

Grace Meets Glamour

Against a bold chinoiserie backdrop, traditional elements blend with modish details and unexpected accents to bring this dining room a bit of whimsy. A hand-painted tole pagoda lantern harmonizes with the wallpaper’s Asian influence and adds to the refined open-air feel. Along with a sprawling fiddle-leaf fig, a luxe porcelain planter with a bamboo trellis pattern brimming with ivy, and other notes of fresh greenery, mirror the verdant landscape beyond. These lively features are balanced with classic furniture in crisp, clean whites and varied wood finishes.
