How to: Design Around Personality and Circumstance

Every family, every home and every project is unique. Embracing – and incorporating – that individuality through design is the ultimate way to create a home perfectly suited for YOU. Are you collecting a small farm of rescue pets? Will you be regularly entertaining? Are your kids making it impossible to keep your home in order? 

Each of these circumstances (and many more) are important to consider when exploring a remodel or redesign, and your designer should be able to incorporate thoughtful elements that will help you achieve your goals beyond aesthetics. 

Check out these modifications our team made to help our clients achieve their exact goal. 

An Environment for Entertaining

Entertaining is a true skill, and thoughtful design can help elevate at-home events to ensure you’re the host with the most. Our Modern Entertainment project, a collaboration with Broken Compass Woodworking, reimagined an existing space in our clients home to create custom seating, storage and cabinetry to maximize entertainment potential. 

The built-in seating mimics a swanky cocktail bar, with underseat storage for barware and supplies. On the opposite wall, we added floating shelves to display glasses and bar tools. The deep blue paint, dark wood and textured detailing rounds out the space fit for at-home entertaining. 

Accommodating Kids

Kids are notoriously messy and often synonymous with clutter. We recently worked with a family in Nashville with four children and a slew of pets, and they knew their circumstances warranted a few thoughtful touches while redesigning their home. 

Paying particular attention to the laundry and mudroom space, our team incorporated custom touches to fit the family’s specific needs: four hidden drawers to store each child’s shoes, retrofitted shelving designed to fit four laundry baskets and custom cabinetry to perfectly store cleaning supplies. The results were sleek and chic, and those visiting will never know the mayhem that was thwarted through thoughtful design.

When we embark on any project, we not only take your design preferences in mind, but also your needs surrounding specific circumstances. Challenge always accepted!
