Showhouse Resource Guide

The article highlights several kitchen and bath design showrooms that serve as sources of inspiration for designers and clients alike. These showrooms offer comprehensive displays, allowing visitors to experience diverse design elements, materials, and technologies in fully realized settings, rather than through small vignettes. Designers leverage these spaces to showcase their creative vision, distinct design styles, and the latest trends in the industry. Bluebell Fine Cabinetry & Design in Wayne, PA, exemplifies this approach with its 5,000-sq.-ft. showroom featuring four custom kitchens, a bar, and a beverage pantry. The showroom's philosophy is to provide full-size displays that immerse clients in purpose-driven spaces. The 'Gulfstream' kitchen display, for instance, incorporates eucalyptus veneer used in aircraft interiors and a 5’x15′ island with a cantilevered Peruvian walnut top, alongside a concealed door leading to another display. Another notable display, the 'Reeded' kitchen, showcases reeded rift white oak cabinetry and fluted glass details, reflecting current design trends. The showroom also includes a dark and moody beverage pantry with blue/gray painted cabinetry and bleached walnut millwork, alongside a design library with adjustable lighting to help clients visualize materials under various conditions. Bakes & Kropp Fine Cabinetry's new flagship showroom in New York City's A&D Building is another example. Bob Bakes, co-founder and head of design, emphasizes the unique challenge and thrill of designing showrooms, which require multiple distinct yet cohesive kitchen displays. The 2,000-sq.-ft. space features eight displays, including three kitchens, a wine room, a butler's pantry, and a dressing area. The showroom's entrance presents a 'soft modern' impact kitchen with a mix of white and steel blue/gray cabinetry and natural stone countertops. Subsequent displays showcase a more traditional style with hand-painted white and burled walnut cabinetry, and a transitional kitchen with Cinder-stained walnut and Harbor Gray-painted cabinetry, many with functional, 'live' appliances. The wine room is highlighted as a favorite, demonstrating the firm's broader capabilities beyond kitchens. Rocpal Kitchen & Bath Studio in Oshawa, ON, Canada, has expanded into a 12,000-sq.-ft. showroom, fulfilling owner Fernando Rocchetta's vision of a dynamic and interactive one-stop shop for home renovations. The showroom features five full kitchen displays, eight vanity displays, an ensuite, mudroom, laundry room, walk-in closet, wine room, and an outdoor kitchen. It also includes a lower level for retail products and provides on-site interior design expertise. Displays are meticulously designed for functionality and aesthetic appeal, often eliciting a 'wow' reaction from visitors. Live features such as a GE Monogram pizza oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Cove dishwasher, and Invisacook induction cooktop demonstrate appliances in action. The walk-in closet and ensuite display, with its calming colors and Salice accessories, is a particular highlight for the showroom manager. Haggard Home Cabinetry & Design in Johns Creek, GA, moved into a 5,400-sq.-ft. showroom, tripling its previous space. April Haggard, the owner, designed the showroom to reflect both kitchen/bath design and interior design services, a unique combination in her area. Kitchen displays line the perimeter, with furniture filling the middle, creating a cozy, home-like atmosphere. The showroom includes smaller vignettes for a laundry room, primary bathroom, and closet, and showcases cabinetry lines spanning various budget levels. Instead of displaying appliances, Haggard focuses on items she sells, such as tile, countertops, flooring, and cabinetry. The showroom also features two dedicated design centers for cabinetry and interior design, complete with islands, televisions for design projections, and extensive samples. A conference room incorporates a repurposed white kitchen display, showcasing a hint of whimsy with pink tiles and wallpaper. A.T.C. Design Center in Fremont, CA, expanded its showroom to 5,000 sq. ft., integrating a former warehouse space. The new layout includes six kitchens and three bathrooms, along with extensive material sample displays. A central, oversized workbench/multi-use island made from five different Neolith slabs serves as a focal point, demonstrating the firm's expertise with unique materials and hosting networking events and client meetings. One kitchen display effectively blends modern and traditional styles, showcasing glossy white slab cabinetry alongside green shaker-style cabinetry, anchored by a large centerpiece island with Raphael Stone quartz. The showroom also prominently displays porcelain, quartz, and tile samples in visually distinctive and easily accessible ways, helping clients visualize full slab applications. #ShowroomDesign #KitchenDesign #BathDesign #InteriorDesign #Cabinetry #DesignTrends #HomeRenovation #MaterialSelection #ClientExperience

The 2025 Lake Forest Showhouse & Gardens, a biennial event benefiting the Lake Forest Chapter of the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago, showcases the transformation of the historic Pembroke Lodge. This year marks the 20th production of the event, held in a grand Georgian-style main house originally designed in 1895 by architect Henry Ives Cobb with landscape architecture by Frederick Law Olmsted, and later revised by David Adler in the late 1930s. Thirty-eight interior designers and nine landscape design companies collaborated to reimagine the 15,000-square-foot mansion, including its tennis hut, pool house, and the remaining 3.5-acre grounds. Visitors can view numerous showstopping rooms, with nearly all sourced design elements and furnishings available for purchase, and 15% of the proceeds going to the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago. Among the highlighted spaces, the Foyer by Cynthia McCullough Interiors features Braquenie’s Les Muses et Les Lions wallcovering, inspired by the original 1930s design, complemented by Regency mirrors, an upholstered bench, and a Chippendale glass cabinet. Joey Leicht Design's Salon stands out with double doors lacquered in Tropical Rose, handpainted and embroidered silk walls by Fromental, and custom banquettes inspired by Frances Elkins. Birkman Interiors created a masculine, clubby Office, adorned with global artifacts, inviting contemplation and travel planning. Amy Kartheiser Design's Garden Room offers an ideal setting for luncheons, incorporating blue treillage-wrapped walls and chairs upholstered in Pierre Frey fabric with yellow and green accents, effectively bringing the outdoors in. The First Floor Hall/Stairwell by Lauren Collander Interiors is characterized by enchanting, hand-embroidered wallcovering and lush green tones, creating a Parisian garden aesthetic that guides visitors through the home. The Main Kitchen by Ablaze Design Group boasts a spacious central island with dual table-height surfaces, custom cabinetry, heat-resistant Dekton by Cosentino surfaces, and biophilic lighting to support circadian rhythms. JenMarie Interiors designed a stylish Mudroom featuring a striking Schumacher wallcovering, fluted wall paneling, bespoke built-ins, and Corinthian-style marble flooring. Sarah Dippold Design's Second Floor Landing serves as a harmonious transition space with jacquard fabric wallcovering, a custom floor runner, and layered textures. Robbins Architecture created a serene Girl’s Bedroom with a soft, dreamy Benjamin Moore color palette and wildlife imagery, evoking a fairy tale setting. The Mahjong Room by White Couch Design offers a stylish space for the trendy game, featuring House of Harris’ Fancy Flock wallcovering with herons, flowers, and lily pads, a round pink linen-wrapped game table, a custom scalloped settee, vintage chairs, and a Champagne Bar. Lastly, Meghan Jay Design's Cabana blends 1920s chic with contemporary style, utilizing a muted palette of blush tones and soft yellows, enhanced by an arched hallway ceiling with wave-shaped fabric panels. The Lake Forest Showhouse & Gardens is open for a limited time, with advance tickets required. #LakeForestShowhouse #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #HistoricEstate #LuxuryInteriors #DesignShowcase #ChicagoDesign #PembrokeLodge #PhilanthropicEvent

This blog post explores various strategies employed by kitchen and bath design firms to create inspiring showrooms that effectively showcase their talents and product offerings to clients. It features insights from several design firms across different locations, highlighting their unique approaches to showroom design and client engagement. Marvista Design + Build in Pittsburgh, PA, emphasizes a clean and uncluttered aesthetic in its 2,500-sq.-ft. showroom. Michael Jacobs, the president, designed the finish selection room to be tidy, with samples neatly stored away, preventing clients from feeling overwhelmed. A key feature is the tunable lighting system, designed by a Los Angeles-based expert, which allows designers to adjust the color temperature to match a client's home, thereby eliminating the need for clients to take samples home. The showroom also includes diverse kitchen and bath displays, like a white and gray kitchen for older homes and a 'Posh Prohibition' bar showcasing updated cabinetry for traditional settings. Functional elements such as motorized shelves and paneled appliances are incorporated to inspire clients. The bathroom display, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, features a walnut vanity and unique tile work, serving as a luxurious public restroom. The Kitchen Bin in Winfield, NY, founded by Debbie U. Pugh, stands out with its unique location inside an old grain bin. This unconventional structure draws in curious visitors, offering a memorable experience. The 1,500-square-foot interior boasts 30-foot ceilings and a curved staircase leading to a loft with flooring and tile samples. Pugh's showroom maximizes product display by showcasing a full kitchen with multiple paint colors, stains, door styles, hardware options, and organizational accessories. An adjacent espresso bar adds to the inviting atmosphere. The presentation room features door samples from various manufacturers, including a local custom cabinet maker, and custom-designed hardware selection boards. Many displays are fully operational, creating a home-like environment where clients can relax by a fireplace, enjoy a cappuccino, and visualize their designs on a large-screen TV. The showroom is designed for potential future use as a guest space or vacation rental, highlighting its versatility. JM Kitchen & Bath Design, with a 45-year history in the Denver, CO area, opened two new showrooms in Arvada, CO, and Colorado Springs. The 3,500-sq.-ft. Arvada location, situated in a busy outdoor mall, was built from scratch, offering flexibility in designing consultation rooms and working spaces. Jason Price, CEO, noted that the full-sized, fully staged, and equipped displays, including five kitchens, allow visitors to visualize options in a realistic setting. Many displays feature working appliances, enabling the company to host events with chefs, demonstrating functionality in an intimate, no-pressure environment. The showroom presents a diversity of colors, styles, and budget options, from quarter-sawn walnut and metallic acrylic cabinets to natural rustic alder. The emphasis is on forward-thinking design, showcasing both current and future trends. Like Marvista, JM Kitchen & Bath avoids cluttered sample displays, encouraging clients to envision their ideal spaces. DesignCraft Kitchen & Bath expanded its presence with a new 1,900-sq.-ft. showroom in Brentwood, TN, complementing its Tampa, FL location. Tracy Urso, CFO and interior designer, identified a need for comprehensive remodeling services in the Nashville area, where many homes built 15-20 years ago are due for renovation. The Brentwood showroom features two kitchens with two-tone cabinets and quartz countertops. Urso particularly highlights the bath display, which incorporates a full slab of quartz for an accent shower wall and floating vanity countertop, enhanced by deep black and gold veins. Matte black fixtures and brass accents complement the design. The selection room provides a one-stop-shop experience with cabinetry, hardware, and tile samples, and a large-screen television for real-time design visualization. Urso's office also serves as a display for built-in cabinetry outside of kitchens and bathrooms. Jennifer Gilmer Kitchen & Bath opened a 750-sq.-ft. satellite showroom in Easton, MD, to address a local need for quality kitchen and bath design services, leveraging its established presence in Chevy Chase, MD, and Ashburn, VA. Jennifer Gilmer's personal relocation to Easton prompted the expansion. The compact space focuses on six kitchen displays, as Gilmer believes kitchen cabinets can also be considered for bathrooms. The showroom emphasizes unexpected and atypical design elements, such as a refrigerator, freezer drawers, and a coffee machine integrated into tall cabinetry, which are fully functional and used during events. Unique touches like authentic vintage lights, a reclaimed chestnut countertop, and solid wood live-edge shelves are incorporated to inspire clients and demonstrate the firm's ability to create custom, beautiful kitchens. #ShowroomDesign #KitchenDesign #BathDesign #InteriorDesign #HomeRenovation #ClientExperience #DesignTrends #BusinessStrategy #RetailSpaces

This article showcases the unique interior design styles of three designers, Jenny Powell, Edward Girardi, and Biff Bartron, as demonstrated in their personal homes. Each designer offers insights into their design philosophy, material choices, and practical tips for creating functional and aesthetically pleasing living spaces. Jenny Powell, owner of Somethings Unique, resides in a spacious Landenberg home with her family. Her design approach emphasizes a blend of elegance and family-friendliness, incorporating a relaxed European style with Scandinavian influences. After moving into their home, the Powells lightened dark wood floors and painted walls in pastel yellow and beige to create a brighter atmosphere. Powell's design is characterized by mixing old and new elements, such as Swedish Rococo-style sidechairs paired with contemporary fabrics, and the use of natural light and preserved greenery. Key elements of her home include fauteuil chairs from Spain with a gray-blue glaze, silk curtains in two colors, and durable microsuede upholstery for family-friendly living. The kitchen features granite countertops and unique hammered metal hardware, while the sunroom offers a casual dining space with a pine farmhouse table. Powell's home is adorned with her father's art, and she advocates for mixing styles, choosing tactile materials, incorporating personal art, and using a soft Scandinavian color palette. Edward Girardi, a proponent of high-rise living, has transformed his 16th-floor condominium in Wilmington into a sophisticated urban sanctuary. His design focuses on maximizing space and functionality in a compact environment. Girardi converted an adjoining unit into an intimate media room, painted in a custom purple-tinged gray. He meticulously blends his own paint colors and uses a sophisticated neutral palette as a backdrop for his home. A large, self-painted contemporary artwork dominates the living room, complementing the angular, masculine aesthetic. He repurposed a cocktail table by replacing its gold top with etched glass and staining the wood mahogany. Girardi's philosophy includes investing in neutral basics and updating accessories with lively prints. He emphasizes grouping family photos for impact and keeping them current. The dining area features a glass and chrome table for spaciousness, and custom built-in cabinets hide a bar and storage. His galley kitchen is designed for efficiency, with ceiling-height cabinets, slate tiles, and cork flooring. In the bedroom, a contemporary pedestal bed is paired with Shaker nightstands, and the space is unified by painting moldings and doors the same color as the walls. Girardi's advice for small spaces includes using larger tiles, decluttering with built-in storage, grouping pictures, measuring furniture carefully, and using solid colors to enlarge a space. Biff Bartron, a partner in BW Design Group, showcases an elegant California ranch home in Wilmington that balances luxury with simplicity, reflecting his preference for peaceful, spa-like environments. Despite initially being in disrepair, Bartron envisioned an open, light-filled space. He renovated in stages, prioritizing the kitchen and bathrooms. The enlarged kitchen features two dishwashers, three microwave ovens, stainless steel sinks, granite counters, and porcelain tile floors that mimic limestone. Sleek cherry cabinets with frosted glass panels and a pass-through window enhance light. A clever design integrates a Sub-Zero refrigerator, with the back half extending into the garage. Bartron unified the public spaces by installing dark ebony-stained hardwood floors. The dining table has an acid-treated copper top, and the living room offers comfortable seating for 11 around a baby grand piano. A chocolate brown daybed and silk curtains frame a bay window, allowing the city lights to become part of the decor. His color palette and simple furniture highlight a dramatic art piece from Paris. The powder room features hand-painted bamboo shoots and polished river rocks in the sink, adding a surprise element. The master bath is a spa-like retreat with a large stone shower and bamboo accents. Guest rooms on the lower level open to a private garden, and a secondary kitchen caters to entertaining. Bartron upgraded lighting and installed a whole-house stereo system. His recent addition of an Asian-inspired front porch creates a tranquil entry. Bartron recommends an Asian-inspired palette, using frosted glass for light and privacy, pampering oneself with luxury baths and linens, keeping window treatments simple to preserve views, and choosing durable materials for pet and family-friendly living. #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #DesignerHomes #ScandinavianDesign #UrbanLiving #ModernRanch #SpacePlanning #Renovation #HomeStyling

The Edinburgh gallery Bard presents a new exhibition titled 'Bardware,' which aims to reframe the perception of craft from an exclusive, high-art domain to an accessible, everyday practice. Founded by Hugo Macdonald and James Stevens, Bard seeks to bridge the gap between craft as a specialized hobby and as luxury objects, instead focusing on items designed for daily use and sensory engagement within the home. The inspiration for 'Bardware' stems from the founders' appreciation for traditional hardware stores, which they view as symbols of optimism and the human capacity to make, fix, build, and repair. The exhibition features works from 20 Scottish craftspeople, designers, and artists, all commissioned to create objects that enhance daily domestic life. The brief encouraged the artists to produce items that could be touched and used regularly, challenging the conventional hands-off approach often associated with gallery exhibits. The display includes a diverse range of functional and decorative items, such as Primitive Arrangement vases by Nick Ross, two-armed candelabras by David Taylor, and architectural toilet-roll holders crafted by Juli Bolaños-Durman from salvaged materials. Other notable pieces include James Rigler’s bronze-glazed ceramic 'Greek Knobs,' Oliver Spendley’s bowls made from polished mountain rock shards, and All About Willow’s hand-turned cherry porridge spurtles. The collection also showcases Clement Knives’ pocket knives made from whisky-barrel hoops, Eve Eunson’s baskets woven from sea plastic collected from Shetland’s beaches, and Studio Viv Lee’s devotional ceramic characters. Additionally, Jess White contributes leather-wrapped boulder doorstops, while Araminta Campbell offers cozy alpaca hot-water bottle covers. Each piece is presented to encourage interaction, emphasizing the tactile and experiential qualities of craft. This exhibition marks three years since Bard opened its doors in Leith, establishing a unique approach to presenting and selling craft. Macdonald highlights the importance of humor and mild irreverence in making craft more approachable and moving it beyond the confines of a museum setting into everyday life. He acknowledges the cost associated with handcrafted items but underscores their inherent value, contrasting this with the societal issue of cheap, mass-produced goods. Since its inception, Bard has observed a significant increase in public engagement with craft, marked by a greater willingness to purchase, utilize, and inquire about the practitioners, materials, and skills involved. Macdonald believes that craft is a fundamental 'life force' that enriches human experience and fosters connections across cultures and time. He posits that craft is not a regressive or counterbalancing force to design and technology but rather a parallel and powerful element that becomes even more impactful when integrated into modern life, indicating a collective awakening to its enduring relevance and value. #CraftExhibition #ScottishArt #HomeDecor #DesignInteriors #FunctionalArt #BardGallery #EverydayObjects #HardwareShopInspiration #ContemporaryCraft

In today's real estate market, the initial impression a home makes online, termed "screen appeal," is as crucial, if not more so, than its physical curb appeal. With a vast number of listings readily available at buyers' fingertips, a home must capture attention digitally before potential buyers commit to an in-person viewing. Zillow's home trends expert, Amanda Pendleton, highlights that effective online presentations are vital for drawing in prospective buyers. Zillow's research indicates that listings featuring a comprehensive media package, such as those utilizing Zillow Showcase, tend to sell for approximately 2% more than comparable homes with standard listings, translating to an average premium of $9,000. Zillow Showcase enhances the online viewing experience through high-quality 3D home tours and interactive floor plans, allowing buyers to understand a home's layout and flow without a physical visit. These immersive listings generate significantly more engagement, including 81% more page views, 80% more saves, and 96% more shares on Zillow compared to non-Showcase listings. Even without opting for Zillow Showcase, homeowners can implement several strategies to boost their home's screen appeal and potentially increase its selling price. One of the primary recommendations is to hire a professional photographer. When selecting a real estate agent, it is important to review their portfolio for evidence of professional photography, as amateur photos can detract from a listing's appeal. A professional photographer can capture the best angles and lighting, showcasing desirable features and creating content for 3D home tours. The initial photos in a listing are critical for grabbing buyers' attention, so these should highlight the home's most appealing features. While an exterior shot might be a starting point, it should quickly be followed by strong interior shots to give buyers a comprehensive view of the living spaces. Presenting a variety of rooms early on, such as the kitchen, living room, and primary bedroom, allows buyers to quickly assess the home's overall appeal before delving into more detailed views of individual spaces. Staging is another key element. Homeowners have the option of traditional staging, where professional stagers furnish the home, or virtual staging, which digitally adds furniture to empty rooms. Virtual staging is often a more cost-effective solution, helping buyers visualize room proportions. Decluttering and depersonalizing the home are also essential. While buyers appreciate homes with character, excessive personal items can make it difficult for them to envision themselves living in the space. Open and uncluttered spaces are generally more appealing in photographs. However, a complete absence of personal touches can make a home feel sterile; strategically placed artwork or subtle decor can add personality without being overwhelming. Adjusting the home's layout for photographs can also make a significant difference. If the current furniture arrangement makes a room appear cramped or awkward, temporarily reconfiguring the layout or removing unnecessary pieces can create a more open and spacious impression. Incorporating a virtual tour is deemed a necessity, as it allows prospective buyers to virtually walk through the home and understand its spatial relationships. Finally, leveraging social media to share the listing can expand its reach and generate additional interest, potentially catching the eye of a broader audience of prospective buyers. #RealEstate #HomeSelling #ScreenAppeal #VirtualTours #HomeStaging #ProfessionalPhotography #OnlineListings #ZillowShowcase #HomeMarketing

The annual WOW!house at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, showcases 22 immersive spaces designed by a mix of established and emerging talents. This year's exhibition, on view from June 2 to July 3, offers a comprehensive look at current design trends, featuring contributions from designers like Alessandra Branca, Chad Dorsey, and Peter Mikic. The showhouse serves as a source of inspiration for both full-scale redesigns and minor refreshes, highlighting innovative approaches to spatial planning, color palettes, and luxurious yet livable layering. The following outlines key design ideas observed at the showhouse. The entrance hall, designed by Victoria Davar of Maison Artefact, creates a theatrical ambiance reminiscent of a country château. Davar raised the ceiling to five meters and installed a floating staircase, an antique stone floor, and traditional joinery. The space is adorned with an 18th-century Norwegian table and Pierre Forsell candleholders. A spiraling ‘Oak Leaf’ chandelier by Cox London serves as a dramatic focal point, emphasizing the impact of nature-inspired, large-scale pieces in an entryway. Chad Dorsey’s Fromental Drawing Room combines American and British Arts and Crafts influences. The room features a bespoke Strike fireplace, Alexander Lamont’s ‘Kita’ lamp, Kyle Bunting’s custom leather chequerboard rug, and Romo’s cinnamon chevron textiles. Fromental’s hand-painted ‘Kiku’ wallcovering extends across the walls, ceiling, and door casings, creating an immersive, atmospheric effect. Tommaso Franchi of Tomèf Design created a Venetian-inspired primary bedroom and sitting room, showcasing Italian craftsmanship. Franchi blended modern and historic elements using Fortuny textiles, Bonacina’s handwoven rattan, and Barovier&Toso;’s Murano glass. Draped fabric panels on the walls and upholstered doors add softness, warmth, and a cinematic quality to the space. Ben Pentreath Studio’s unfitted kitchen presents a Greco-Gothic fantasy with bold colors, eccentric details, and a focus on craft. Designed by Rupert Cunningham, Leo Kary, and Alice Montgomery, the kitchen features delicate wooden storage shelving from Lopen Joinery, allowing the architectural background and wall color to show through, blending practicality with poetic design. Alessandra Branca’s bedroom features a canopy bed wrapped in Casa Branca’s patterned linens, inspired by Mongiardino and David Hicks. The design combines classical references with sculptural pieces by Timothy Schreiber and Francis Sultana. ‘Paisley’ walls and striped drapery, alongside antiques from Rose Uniacke and Hawker Antiques, create a soft, luxurious, and hospitable environment. Alex Dauley’s media room, in collaboration with Nucleus, is a warm, cocoon-like space. Fully upholstered walls, ceilings, and a fitted custom rug in amber and walnut shades create an enveloping atmosphere. Hidden smart sound and lighting technology from Nucleus, along with handcrafted walnut and bronze shelving and sculptural lighting, add sophistication. The room also highlights pieces by Black artisans, including Darren Appiagyei’s raw wood vessels and Danielle McKinney’s giclée print. Emma Sims-Hilditch’s courtyard room, a boot room and dog snug, demonstrates that functional spaces can be stylish. It incorporates a marble sink for muddy vegetables and an elegant dog shower. Layered with antiques, bespoke craft, and hand-painted Delft tiles by Marlborough Tiles, this space highlights a modern trend of dedicating comfortable areas for pets. Daniel Slowik’s chartreuse morning room, designed with Treasure House Fair, emphasizes romantic restraint. The walls are covered in hand screen-printed cotton poplin with a trompe-l’œil pattern. Notably, large, ruffled frilled cushions made from Nuthall Temple fabrics add a witty and indulgent contrast to the room's unique antiques and art. Nicola Harding’s powder room, created with Drummonds, features a tented aubergine silk ceiling, transforming the small space into a magical retreat. Layers of patterned fabric, glossy tiles, and brass and mirrored finishes create a sensory experience. Harding’s bespoke rug-covered cabinetry and playful furnishings, combined with Drummonds’ elegant fittings, show how small spaces can achieve significant dramatic impact. Pirajean Lees’ circular sanctuary, wrapped in Dedar fabrics, is a sensory experience inspired by music, particularly jazz. Wool satin curtains, wild silk, and velvet mohair cover custom bookcases and a desk, with case designs referencing musical instrument trunks. A curving bespoke sofa, a custom Jennifer Manners rug, and a sculptural “Record” chair invite deep listening and pause. Peter Mikic’s dining room is a vibrant celebration of color, featuring Benjamin Moore’s ‘Broadway Lights’ yellow. The room includes an atomic chandelier, a bespoke dining table by Kaizen inlaid with semi-precious stones, and hand-painted trompe l’oeil panels. Billy Metcalfe’s abstract mural electrifies the back wall with sweeping strokes of green, blue, and red, creating a full-color feast. #DesignTrends #ShowhouseDesign #InteriorDecor #LuxuryInteriors #ColorPalettes #CustomFurnishings #ArchitecturalDetails #LondonDesign #HomeStyling

This article highlights the second annual Modern Style showhouse by Atlanta Magazine’s HOME, which features a meticulously renovated 1980s contemporary house in Buckhead. The project signals a growing appreciation for the architectural style of the 1980s within the city, opting for renovation over demolition. Originally designed in 1987 by architect Larry Farrow, a cofounder of GreenbergFarrow, the house served as his family's residence until 2003. After a prolonged period of vacancy, the current owners embarked on a mission to revitalize the property. Rodolfo Castro of Castro Design Studio served as the residential designer, aiming to preserve the original architectural integrity while updating it for contemporary living. Castro's redesign involved opening up the floor plan to create more expansive kitchen and dining areas. Additionally, he oversaw the construction of an extension that includes a new bedroom suite and laundry room, alongside the renovation of a study and master suite, which now feature larger bathrooms and abundant storage solutions. Tate Builders & Associates, led by Emily and Steve Tate, managed the construction aspects of the project. Julie Witzel of J. Witzel Interior Design led the interior design efforts, establishing a cohesive modern aesthetic throughout the house with clean lines and warm accents. Her selections for lighting, flooring, and stone were instrumental in maintaining a consistent look across the various spaces, which were decorated by 12 distinct design teams. Witzel herself designed the conjoined living and dining rooms and collaborated with Kingdom Woodworks on the kitchen, breakfast room, bathrooms, and laundry areas. The diverse contributions from different design teams brought unique character to each space. GraysonHarris Interiors + Design crafted an electric blue, high-contrast master bedroom and bath, while Mallori Hamilton from Wakefield Beasley Interiors envisioned a serene and mellow guest suite. Justin Q. Williams of Trademark Design Co. created a cozy yet impactful bedroom, and Beth Kooby Sobbott designed a bohemian-inspired retreat for a teenager. Roche Bobois contributed a vibrant sitting room featuring Kenzo Takada’s iconic Mah Jong sofa. Katja Lauterbach of Duett Design designed a study emphasizing restraint and an adjacent bathroom with a minimalist aesthetic. Additional spaces include powder rooms designed by Kerry Jemison Weinheimer of Jemison Design and Leah Alexander of Beauty Is Abundant. Kolo Collection curated an avant-garde selection of outdoor furniture for the pool deck, complementing the original angular pool. The home's closets and pantries were outfitted by The Container Store with their Avera line, offering customized storage solutions. This collaborative effort transformed the 1980s architectural gem into a modern showhouse that honors its past while embracing contemporary design and functionality. #ModernStyleShowhouse #HomeRenovation #InteriorDesign #BuckheadHomes #LarryFarrow #RodolfoCastro #JulieWitzel #AtlantaDesign

The Bell Museum's Curiosity Shop has undergone a significant reinvention, moving beyond traditional museum merchandise to offer a curated selection of quirky and unique items. Emma Allen, the museum's director of operations, spearheaded this transformation with the goal of creating a retail space that stands out from typical museum stores. She aimed for a distinctive aesthetic and product range, ensuring visitors could find items that reflect curiosity and individuality rather than just branded souvenirs. Key to this new approach is the emphasis on items that facilitate personal expression and creativity, such as magnifiers, cloches, moss, miniature plastic animals, and faux bird eggs. These components are specifically chosen to inspire customers to create their own dioramas, a nod to the museum's natural history focus. This interactive and creative aspect differentiates The Curiosity Shop, providing an experience that encourages engagement with the products and their potential for home decor. Beyond the diorama elements, the shop features a variety of unconventional decor pieces. One notable example is a framed insect riding a motorcycle, playfully titled 'Weevil Knievel,' which Emma Allen highlights as a personal favorite. This item exemplifies the blend of natural history with whimsical, artistic flair that defines the shop's inventory, catering to those who appreciate unusual and conversation-starting decorative accents. Inspired by these unique offerings, the article presents several home decor ideas that draw from the Bell Museum's distinct aesthetic. These include Christian Lacroix playing cards, known for their fantastical illustrations, which offer a sophisticated yet playful touch to any living space. Another suggestion is 'Whales: An Illustrated Celebration,' a nature-based book by local author Kelsey Oseid, which combines artistic illustration with scientific themes, perfect for adding an educational yet decorative element. Further decor ideas include a John Derian plate featuring a vintage mushroom print, demonstrating how functional items can also serve as artistic displays. Animal print shoes, such as Ulla Johnson's leopard print mules, are cited as an example of incorporating wild, natural patterns into personal style, which can be extended to home textiles or accents. Sculptural art pieces like blue-gray coral offer an organic, oceanic touch, bringing natural forms indoors. The collection also features a gold honeybee necklace from Gumuchian, with a portion of its proceeds supporting the University of Minnesota’s bee and pollinator program. This item connects directly to environmental consciousness and wildlife preservation, reflecting a broader interest in nature. Finally, a taxidermy Abyssinian roller, with its vibrant blue plumage, represents a more traditional yet striking natural history display, echoing the museum's core exhibits and providing a bold statement piece for home interiors. These curated selections aim to help individuals infuse their living spaces with a sense of wonder and uniqueness, mirroring the spirit of The Curiosity Shop. #HomeDecor #InteriorDesign #BellMuseum #TheCuriosityShop #QuirkyDecor #NaturalHistory #Diorama #ArtisticHome #Stylemaker

The 2020 Lake Forest Showhouse & Gardens, which opened on July 11 and ran until August 9, 2020, showcased a historic Colonial-style estate designed by Frost & Granger in 1906 and later remodeled by Stanley Anderson in 1926.

Robert Highsmith and Stefanie Brechbuehler, the husband-and-wife founders of the design firm Workstead, have curated their living room with a collection of "unexpected heirlooms." Mr. Highsmith, 43, is described by Ms. Brechbuehler as the couple's lead collector, whose passion has filled their home with objects reflecting his thoughts, loves, and curiosities. Ms. Brechbuehler, 47, finds inspiration in being surrounded by these meaningful pieces, which range from ancient urns to midcentury modern furniture. The couple relocated from a farmhouse in Salisbury, Conn., to Charleston, S.C., and strategically displayed their favorite finds in their living room for daily enjoyment. The article highlights three key items that contribute to the unique ambiance of their living room. The first is an "Easy Upgrade" item: a weeping fig tree priced at $395 from Hyams Garden and Accent Store. The couple emphasizes the technique of using a large-scale plant or branches that touch the ceiling to create a lively and enveloping atmosphere. This “scale trick” is consistently applied in their designs, providing an unexpected visual element that pulls a room together. They purchased a nine-foot-tall weeping fig tree shortly after moving to Charleston, illustrating their commitment to this design principle. The second featured item is a "Splurge": a 19th-century boat bench priced at $2,800 from Obsolete. Mr. Highsmith has admired Obsolete in Los Angeles since his student days, finding inspiration in its curated vignettes. After establishing Workstead, he acquired this storage bench, salvaged from a boat and made of chestnut. Its wave and scroll forms, along with its practical utility—featuring doors to contain clutter—appealed to him. The bench currently serves as storage for family board games and a seating area with a view of a park, demonstrating its multifaceted functionality and whimsical quality. The third unique item is an "One of a Kind" antique weather vane from Eldred’s auction house. Mr. Highsmith’s collection includes objects chosen for their essential geometric shapes, which have influenced his light fixture designs at Workstead. Among these pieces are a rusted metal cone, a spherical iron form for casting glass floats, and a marble cylinder used as a pedestal. The timeworn weather vane from Nantucket, crafted from cedar shakes with a galvanized steel nose cone, is a particular favorite. Mr. Highsmith appreciates its beauty as a sculpture and its past functionality, noting how its new context in his living room brings delight to both the couple and their guests. #InteriorDesign #HomeDecor #Workstead #CollectingArt #AntiqueFurniture #HomeStyling #RealEstate #CharlestonLiving

Corner showcases are an efficient way to utilize otherwise wasted space in a room, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. These furniture pieces can range from thin, tall designs to broader units that incorporate more wall space. When selecting a corner showcase, several factors should be considered, including the available space, the desired shape, and the budget. The space in the room's corner dictates whether a full-sized or a more slender showcase is appropriate. The shape can vary from rounded curves for thinner units to flat designs for those that occupy more wall area. Budget constraints will naturally influence the size and type of showcase one can acquire, with larger units typically being more expensive. The importance of corner showcase designs in contemporary homes, especially those with limited floor space, cannot be overstated. They provide much-needed storage and display areas without encroaching significantly on a room's usable space. Hall corner showcases, for instance, can hold decorative items while still allowing ample room for other furniture and activities. This type of furniture adds a touch of class and style to a home. Additionally, some corner showcases can be wall-mounted, further enhancing their space-saving capabilities. The article presents ten distinct corner showcase designs. The Glass Door Corner Showcase Design, made of wood with a glossy walnut finish and glass doors, allows displayed items to be easily viewed and can be illuminated internally. The Cabinet Corner Showcase Designs cater to multimedia needs, featuring space for a TV or stereo system, alongside glass-doored cabinets and drawers for storage, maximizing utility in an unutilized corner. The Curio Cabinet Showcase Design, often in dark walnut, combines glass cabinets and shelves within a wood frame, offering a vintage or contemporary aesthetic in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas. The Alcove Corner Showcase Design provides an antique aesthetic with four levels of glass shelves and carved wooden elements, suitable for showcasing delicate art or crockery. The Ladder Corner Showcase Designs, a modern option, feature a triangular shape that widens towards the base, with five shelves for diverse display items. Hanging Corner Showcase Designs are ideal for saving floor space, appearing to float on the wall with solid shelves in a beehive-like pattern, best for a few small decorative items. Zigzag Corner Showcase Designs offer a contemporary look with zigzag edges and ample shelves, providing a stylish contrast, especially against light-colored walls. Floating Corner Showcase Designs, made from walnut wood, feature open shelves suitable for children's rooms or study areas for books and stationery, or even kitchens for organizing utensils. The Corner TV Showcase Design effectively integrates TV placement with display units, maximizing corner space and making the room appear larger. Finally, Corner Glass Showcase Designs are large units with glass doors and shelves, offering an open structure for displaying items and can be illuminated for enhanced visual impact. These designs collectively offer varied solutions for home organization and decor, ensuring that corners are utilized efficiently and stylishly. #CornerShowcaseDesigns #HomeDecor #InteriorDesign #SpaceSavingFurniture #LivingRoomFurniture #ShowcaseIdeas #FurnitureDesign #ModernHome #DisplayUnits
