For this luxury custom new build, I developed the kitchen and living room selections together to create a cohesive flow between the two spaces. I began with the architecture, natural light, and the overall feeling the home needed, then selected finishes that felt refined, warm, and timeless.
I considered each material in relation to the next—from cabinetry, countertops, flooring, hardware, lighting, and stone to the furnishings, rugs, textiles, and decorative elements that would ultimately complete the space. The goal was to create contrast and interest without making the rooms feel busy, balancing texture, tone, scale, and finish so everything felt intentional and connected.
Once the architectural finishes were established, I carried that design direction into the furnishings and styling, selecting furniture, rugs, lighting, artwork, pillows, and accessories that complemented the palette and brought softness, depth, and personality to the home.
Rather than approaching each room or selection independently, I designed the main living area as a whole, creating a consistent visual story from the permanent finishes through the final layers of furniture and decor.
