Clean, Cute, and chic: Our Washington Project
My client adores clean, fresh spaces and gravitates toward bright whites. While honoring her minimalist style, I encouraged her to have a little fun with contrast—because a pop of dark and a dash of color can make a space feel so much more alive!
Design Vision:
The mission? Keep her serene, airy vibe but sprinkle in a few bold, dramatic touches to give the space depth, personality, and a little extra chic factor.
Key Elements:
Layout:
We created an open and inviting layout, carving out cozy, stylish zones for living, dining, and relaxing.Light and Dark Balance:
White remains our beautiful foundation—think bright, creamy neutrals on larger pieces like the sofa—but we added darker accents like a gorgeous black coffee table and deeper-toned décor to spice things up.Why You Shouldn't Fear Contrast:
If you’re nervous about diving headfirst into bold color, keep your big investment pieces neutral (like your couch!) and add drama through accessories like pillows, throws, and vases. This way, you can easily swap them out when you're ready for a refresh. Contrast brings life and dimension to a space—don't be afraid to have a little fun with it!Evolving the Look:
We're not done yet! We’ll be layering in even more dark accents with throw pillows and décor for a perfectly curated, ever-so-chic final look. Designing is a slow and steady process, and we’re enjoying every step of the journey to make sure every detail feels just right.
The design feels effortless yet elevated, crisp yet cozy. By introducing contrast thoughtfully, we stayed true to her style but gave her home that extra wow factor. And the best part? Everything can evolve as her style evolves—nothing is permanent, just perfectly placed for now.
