5 Rug Style Trends We Love in 2023 to Elevate Interior Design

Looking to find your footing when it comes to home design? Rugs are one of our go-to pieces to ground and define an interior. Whether you’re wanting to connect or divide a space, rugs are great for adding intention and warmth to your home. Keep reading for a look at five rugs we recently styled in our interior design projects!

 

Geometric Rugs Make a Statement

An entryway is where first impressions are made, so it’s important that it sets the tone for the rest of the home. Combining modern and Moroccan, this geometric rug’s pop of pattern is the perfect way to draw guests into our Montevista Project.

We know how intimidating prints can be for homeowners, but oftentimes pattern is just what the interior needs to make a memorable statement. Featuring the same black and ivory tones found in nearby details, this geometric rug added a beautiful and balanced feel to our project’s entryway.

Bonus: the durable weave made it an ideal piece for a high-traffic space like this one!

 

Solid Rugs Can be Stylish without Being Boring

We’re all about incorporating color and pattern in an approachable way, like we did in our 83rd Place project. In a neutral interior like this one, a rug with a pop of color is great to style alongside quieter elements as it keeps the design interesting and eclectic without going over the top. The over-tufted dot design also adds a subtle and intriguing texture to the space. Who said solids have to be boring?

 

Hide Rugs are Not Going Out Style

When it came to adding sophistication and comfort to our Calle de Pompas Project, we looked no further than this cowhide rug. Its organic shape was a beautiful complement to the dining space’s small circular table. The rug’s natural texture and dark tones also added a warm and masculine touch to the interior.

 

Elegant Black and White Rugs are Always a Good Idea

High-contrast and high-impact color palettes are our love language, so it’s no wonder why this black and white rug was love at first sight for us. Its sleek and elegant colorway is just what our Silverleaf project’s entryway needed to draw guests in.

 

How to Style with a Jute Rug

We love combining chic, contemporary style with relaxed, approachable comfort. That’s why in our Ironwood Project’s primary bathroom, our goal was to create a serene, organic feel with touches of glam throughout. This textured jute rug gave us the best of both worlds! Its high contrast made a statement, while its natural texture kept the space feeling simple and grounded.

Part of our design expertise is knowing how to mix and layer bold elements into a space to make it interesting and stylish. We were able to do just that in our Marshall Ave project.

Rattan: A New Design Trend to Weave Into Your Interiors

Rattan: A New Design Trend to Weave Into Your Interiors

Today we’re sharing a design trend that you’re going to want to weave into your interiors ASAP. Dating back in popularity for centuries, rattan is a natural material commonly woven into wicker. Formerly used to accessorize a home’s outdoor areas, rattan is now making it’s way inside and we can’t help but swoon over the organic and serene feel it adds to a room. Read on for four ways to incorporate this trending texture into your home!

 

Rattan Furniture

One way we’ve been incorporating rattan into recent client projects is through furniture. In our Montevista Project, we incorporated a large rattan cabinet to serve as the focal point for this room. Our clients couldn’t get enough of the soft, textural twist this modern piece added to the space!

Rattan Accessories

If you’re not convinced you love rattan enough to commit to investing in large furniture pieces, try incorporating pops of this material into your home through accessories! Whether styled on a shelf or hung on a wall, small details, like this storage box, are perfect for bringing a touch of warmth and texture into any space.

Rattan Seating

In the heart of our Ironwood Project’s kitchen, we incorporated counter stools with rattan on the back rest. Subtle yet striking, this detail brought a refreshed and modern take on retro into the space. We love how it tied together the neutral tones incorporated throughout the surrounding kitchen!

Rattan Lighting

Though commonly woven into wicker, rattan is a versatile material that does not always have to be. Consider incorporating the material into your home as lighting! We styled this strong and durable vine in our Fairway Project’s family room as an intricate and modern light fixture. Chandeliers are like the jewelry of your home, and we love how this unique fixture instantly draws guests in.

Fluted Materials a Long-Loved Technique + 2022 Design Trend

Fluted Materials a Long-Loved Technique + 2022 Design Trend

If you’re looking to add visual interest and a pop of texture to your interior, look no further than fluted materials. An ancient technique used in architecture, this design trend is comprised of shallow grooves along a single surface. The resulting clean lines are a delicate way to bring balance and height into any space.

We’ve loved incorporating fluted materials into past interior design projects and we expect this design trend to only continue increasing in popularity this year. Read on for three ways to incorporate fluting into your home!

Fluted Furniture

A simple way to incorporate fluting into your home is through furniture. In our recent Fairway Project, we aimed to add fun elements in each room for the ultimate “wow” factor. The fluted details on this dining table was a beautiful complement to the adjacent floating shelves and linear pattern on the Roman shades. Talk about clean lines for days in this space!

Similarly, in our 83rd Place Project, we incorporated a fluted desk that added just the right amount of detail to the space. Balancing simple and sophisticated, this piece really helped us take the look of this room to the next level. Work from home life wouldn’t be so bad in a space as stunning as this one!

Fluted Cabinets

Another one of our favorite ways to incorporate fluting into projects is through cabinets and drawers! Beauty meets functional in our Trailside View Project, where we incorporated a wooden vanity with fluted cabinets. We love the modern elegance it added to the interior, while still providing the necessary storage for our clients.

Fluted Kitchen Hood

We may or may not have saved the best example for last. In our Fairway Project, we added a fluted hood that again paired beautifully between the adjacent floating shelves. We anticipate that the hood’s unique and unexpected finish will instantly turn the heads of anyone who enters the heart of this home.

Project Reveal: Monte Lindo Pt 2

In a recent post, we began to walk you through one of our latest interior design projects. We worked closely with our clients to fill this builder grade home with unique details that set the space apart, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Read on to explore the remainder of this project!

As the owner of a local real estate brokerage, our client needed a dedicated space to dive into his craft in the comfort of his own home. We filled the home office with masculine elements throughout, including a wooden desk, table, and light fixture with brown leather details.

To create separation between the office and the remainder of the home, we added a glass door mimicking the iron details incorporated throughout the project. How stunning does it look paired next to those metal cabinets?

 

The Must Have Eclectic Dining Room Design

This project’s dining room is filled with bold and eclectic details. Our work began in this space by first incorporating two details that were on our clients must-have list: the dining table and chandelier. For a pop of color and texture, we styled these unique pieces alongside blue velvet chairs, a striped rug, and black cabinets to tie it all together.

Our love for the dining room reached new heights when we chose to leverage the space’s fifth wall. For an extra touch of glam, we wallpapered the ceiling! We’re still swooning over how beautifully the print and chandelier complement one another.

 

Green with envy over this bed? Us too.

There’s nothing better than clients that trust your eye for design enough to explore options outside of their comfort zone. In our Monte Lindo Project’s primary bedroom, we styled this green upholstered bed as the focal point of the space. Adjacent to this piece, we added two sideboards as nightstands to maximize wall space. Lastly, after incorporating two mirroring lamps, a bench, and wall art, we kept the remaining interior details simple to really let the green bed pop.

Looking at the opposite wall of the primary bedroom, we doubled function and beauty by incorporating a sideboard with beautiful detailing for extra storage. We styled the corner of the space with a faux plant, accent chair, and a black side table for an extra pop of visual interest. Don’t the details in this corner draw you in?

Moving along to the desk area in the bedroom, we love the subtle, yet striking detail this textured chair added to the space! To fill the remainder of the corner, we styled floating shelves and a few of our favorite accessories.

 

The His and Hers Bathroom that Everyone will Want!

One challenge we faced when designing the primary bathroom of this builder grade home was styling the vanities, as one side has a window and the other does not. To work around this, we had a local metal company custom make two different sized-mirrors for this interior. The larger, vertical mirror was styled on “Her” side, while the horizontal mirror was styled on “His” side. For symmetry, we repeated the same light fixtures on both sides and a glam chandelier in the center over the tub. Lastly, we brought warmth into the space by adding accessories, a rug, and textured wallpaper.

We may have saved a close up of the best detail for last. This textured, vinyl wallpaper adds just the right amount of detail without overwhelming the space. Plus, it’s made of vinyl, which ensures its beauty will last for years to come, despite exposure to humidity from the nearby shower!

New year, new project reveal. We couldn’t be more excited to start 2022 off by sharing our Monte Lindo project with you all! We worked closely with our clients to fill this builder grade home with unique details that set the space apart.

A Kitchen Everyone Can Enjoy

Our work with the clients began after the interior’s finishes had been selected. To elevate the look of the kitchen, we worked with a local metal company to create these stunning glass cabinets, which we styled and chose to repeat in a few other spaces throughout the home as well. We love the contrast and unique detail it brought to the room!

Transitional Interior Design Phoenix

To complement the large kitchen island and add visual interest, we added three 30” woven, macrame-like pendants.  Our clients knew they wanted leather seating in the kitchen, so below we added six of these unique bar stools to the island. Doesn’t this space make you want to have a seat and stay a while?

Transitional Interior Design Phoenix

Moving into the dining room, this unique, geometric table is one of our favorite statement pieces in the home! To accommodate the clients’ young children and allow for easy cleaning, we added six black leather chairs to the space, and tied the entire room together with a patterned rug.

Adjacent to the dining table, we added a sideboard with stunning details on the drawers for visual interest. Just above, we brightened up the space by incorporating two large mirrors to reflect light from nearby windows. This is one of our favorite interior design hacks!

The Balanced, Beautiful Family Room

In the family room, we hung the same chandelier as the one found in the dining room for cohesion. We then filled the remainder of the space with a large custom sectional, statement side tables, accent chairs, and motorized shades per the client’s request.

Our goal was to make this space balance functional and beautifully designed! Similar to the kitchen, we wanted to fill the blank wall space above the cabinets that came with the home, so we added and styled floating shelves.

Transitional Interior Design Phoenix

Rather than styling the family room with one large coffee table, we opted to incorporate a series of three little tables– for a unique touch. For contrast, we styled the tables with lighter, neutral accessories. Check out Our Favorite Accessories to Style With blog post for our top styling tips!

Don’t Forget the High-tech Powder Bath!

Transitional Interior Design Bathroom Phoenix

We knew we wanted to do something different in the powder bath, so we incorporated a fun patterned tile, black hardware, and a statement art piece. We love how the space came to be as special and unique as the Toto Toilet, which, if you haven’t heard, is a high-tech powder room must-have!

Transitional Interior Design Powder Bath Phoenix

To tie in the black hardware in the powder room, we hung a black circle mirror centered between two gold pendants. We thoughtfully selected each detail in this space to beautifully complement one another. Stay tuned for part two of this project reveal!
