Step inside our Sereno Canyon Project! With one young child and another on the way, the clients of this North Scottsdale interior design project wanted a home that was both family-friendly and chic to reflect their lifestyle.
The home itself was a new build so we had a clean slate to work with and our clients were easygoing and open to new and creative ideas. Continue reading to see how we designed this comfortably modern and uniquely one-of-a-kind North Scottsdale interior design project, Sereno Canyon.
Bench-https://rstyle.me/+f1M5FuUyOc2MtnNY0kBK5g,
Upon stepping inside the spacious entryway, guests are immediately greeted by two sides. To the right, we added an upholstered wooden bench with brass detailing just below a complementing brass mirror. We love how the mirror not only opens up the entryway but also serves as an eye catching piece with its dynamic angles and edges.
On the opposite side of the entryway, we added a gorgeous console made with burl wood and fluted detailing. These cabinets make the perfect space for our clients to keep any not-so-pretty, on-the-go essentials within easy reach. For a pop of contrast, we styled a piece of modern, abstract artwork to serve as the focal point of the tablescape.
Throughout this project, we kept to a mostly neutral palette with clean-lines and simple furnishings. However, we then added visual interest through details like this artwork, as well as rugs and unique lighting.
Chairs-https://rstyle.me/+cajb8VidflvynTSKkqf7rg
Because the family room is directly across from the front door, we knew we had to create an inviting living space that truly welcomed our clients home. To best meet the needs of this soon-to-be family of four, we added a spacious custom sofa and two large upholstered chairs, perfect for entertaining.
Centering the space, we added organic shaped coffee tables and a marble and fluted side table that ended up being one of our Principal Designer’s favorite details! Can you blame her? To emphasize the home’s tall ceilings, we also hung a unique light fixture between some of the beams creating contrast among the ceiling.
Because young children will be crawling and toddling around in the home, we made sure to include plenty of softness in the form of rugs, pillows, and upholstered seating, all of which are also durable and stain-resistant, and/or easy to clean.
Stools-https://rstyle.me/+Mm_5_OIm13QOvrjm2CeQYw
We knew the kitchen would truly be the heart of the home for this young family, so we opted to add several brass bar stools with leather seats to ensure they’d be kid-friendly and easy to clean. For mood lighting and an eye-catching detail, we also hung three beautiful pendants above the kitchen island.
Chairs-https://rstyle.me/+KCZfnCjACqVQZkevk6uZTg
For consistency throughout the entire home, we added custom drapery that went all the way up to the ceiling and hung on cool curtain rods that expanded to the width of the windows. We love how this further elongated the look of the interior!
This particular space was so large we split it into two: the dining room and the morning room. In the dining room, we added a large concrete dining table and stunning leather and brass accented chairs. Just behind the dining room is the morning room, which is styled with the same rug as the dining room to keep the interior cohesive and pull the two spaces together.

Named Phoenix Magazine Best Interior Design three consecutive years, Lauren leads projects from concept through construction for high-end homes in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and Phoenix.
Recently on the blog, we shared a sneak peek inside our Bronco Project, a North Scottsdale interior design project that doubles as our CEO’s home and an office space for the Living With Lolo Team! Today, we’re finally unveiling the remainder of the home! Keep reading for a look inside this beautiful abode.
We extended a one-of-a-kind feel throughout the home with custom interior design elements that best fit the style and personality of our CEO.
Centering the primary bedroom, we added a custom upholstered bed with a fun abstract pattern painted across it! While we kept the surrounding fabrics neutral, we added a pop of color as the backdrop for this space with this gorgeous wallpaper from Quercus & Co. We love how it brought life into the room in a muted and sophisticated way.
At the foot of the bed, we added two elegant hardwood chairs to fill the remainder of the space with comfort and style. For finishing touches, we also styled a rug, custom nightstands, and custom Roman shades for an additional dash of cozy.
In the primary bathroom, we incorporated the same black-stained oak cabinetry with push-to-open mechanisms found in the kitchen. The push-to-open cabinetry allows for no visible hardware, creating an ultra-sleek, modern look. The white quartz countertops and marble flooring add a gorgeous shine and contrast to the space.
To warm up the space, we added an Annie Selke runner and natural elm bench. This detail sprinkled in some beauty and functionality into the bathroom. For some more inspiration on how to incorporate benches into your interiors, check out the 5 bench styles we love!
Lastly, our CEO obviously knows what interior dreams are made of! Because she envisioned a spa just outside the primary bathroom, we added a large slider to connect the two spaces and bring an indoor-outdoor feel into the bathroom.
This luxurious fixture on the ceiling has to be our favorite part of the master bathroom! Can you blame us?
This project’s guest bedroom is made to appeal to any visitor! This beautiful cane and wood bed creates a fun and modern feel. The pillows, Loloi rug, and gorgeous custom artwork tie it all together for a cozy overnight stay.
Our CEO wanted to create a gorgeous, yet inviting space where her family can unwind and watch movies. This chic hangout room is the perfect spot to sit back and relax! The custom olive sofa is to die for and was built for comfort.
Centering this room is a bold, minimalistic coffee table with an intricate texture. Large and spacious, it is the ideal spot for her son to hangout and build puzzles. For a vibrant pop of color and personality, we added fun artwork and custom drapery.
At Living with Lolo, we are all about having functional, livable spaces that are full of beauty, life and character. The sandy ash sideboards make a show-stopping statement and add ample storage to the room.
Is this rug Loloi? If so, need to tag to fulfill partnership requirements
We value creating spaces that are unique and distinctive. This powder room room is the perfect example of fun, yet sophisticated and was so much fun for us to design.
The wallpaper is a unique, handpainted print with purple and moth tones. For consistency, we painted the same color on the baseboards and ceiling, and even used the same quartz from the kitchen on the 12-inch floating vanity.

After living in this beautiful Scottsdale home for several years, our clients wanted to bring a more unique, contemporary feel to their spaces through a complete remodel. Read on for a first glimpse inside our latest Scottsdale interior design project, Hidden Hills!
To best serve the needs of this family, we added luxury vinyl flooring with a white oak finish throughout the home as it is extremely durable. Its resistance to stains, bacteria, water, and mold make it the perfect option for clients with pets or children.
To make the warm woods and furniture in the home really pop, we painted all of the walls and baseboards a beautiful white shade called Chantilly Lace. In the entryway, it’s a beautiful and bright contrast to the cane console table, ceramic lamp, and handmade art.
In the family room, we added rift cut white oak cabinets and floating shelves styled with some of our favorite accessories. Adjacent to the shelves, we added a custom cement fluted fireplace as the focal point for the space. We love how this piece balances both statement and subtle!
We pride ourselves on creating designs that are personalized just for our clients. To fit the scale of their large family room, we added two custom sofas: one leather and one in a white performance, linen-like fabric.
The two sofa styles surround a black marble console table and two accent chairs. To draw the eye upward, we hung a beautiful brass chandelier, which is a metal found in various accents throughout the home.
To open the family room up to the backyard, we replaced windows with a 20-foot, sliding door. We love how this detail brought the sunlight and nearby mountain views in!
We encourage clients to step out of their comfort zones by being brave and bold with their style, but in an approachable, fun, empowering way. In this project’s powder bathroom, we added a fun cement tile with an abstract graphic print.
Complementing the black and white tones found in the pattern, we added black mirror and a vanity made of black metal and a marble top. Lastly, for a pop of color, we added a beautiful sage green grass cloth wallpaper.

It’s the season of gathering together. Whether you’re nestling in for a movie night or catching up over a cup of joe, this time of year is centered around the home. There’s nothing better than filling your interiors with details that will leave all guests in awe. Read on to discover eye-catching coffee tables we’ve styled in recent projects! We know you’ll love these timeless pieces as much as we do, well in to 2023 and beyond.
Rope Coffee Tables Offer Beautiful Texture without Overwhelming Your Interior
Who said coffee tables have to be boring? In our Scottsdale interior design project, Camelback Country Estates, we added this beautifully textured coffee table made from hand-braided Pandan leaves. Neutral in color, this piece is the perfect balance of showstopping and subtle. It draws guests in without overwhelming the overall interior. What more could you ask for?
Subtle Texture with a Linen Coffee Table
For an even more subtle pop of texture, consider incorporating a linen coffee table into your home. This table’s body is wrapped in a linen fabric sealed with a lacquered finish to ensure the piece is well-protected in high-traffic living spaces. The details don’t end there! We love how this table also features a recessed edge to give the illusion that it’s floating above the ground. Finding this unique piece still has us floating on Cloud 9!
Wood Coffee Tables Never Go Out of Style
We love the organic and timeless look wooden coffee tables add to interiors. This circular table was the perfect piece to style between two sofas in The Estates Project to encourage conversation. Simple in design, we opted to style the tabletop with a book, vases, and a few of our other go-to accessories.
Add a Contemporary Touch with a Glass Coffee Table
We’re all about transformational design from floor to ceiling and from finishes to furnishings. Add a contemporary touch to your home with a glass coffee table. In our Paradise Valley interior design project, Fanfol, this table’s glass top floats above three wooden spheres. We selected this piece with cohesion in mind and love that it mirrors the circular structure of nearby side tables.
Metal Coffee Tables – Great for Minimal or Detail Designs!
At first glance, this may look like a beautifully bare table, perfect for achieving a minimal look. But what if we told you that upon a closer look this modern table is actually filled with details sure to capture any design lover’s heart?
Made of cast and hand-forged iron with a black finish, this table’s edge is comprised of brass-finished detailing, which ties in beautifully with the black and brass chandelier hung just above this piece. We can’t get over the subtle “wow” factor it brought to the living space in our Cave Creek interior design project, Montevista.
Classic Marble Coffee Tables
You can never go wrong with the classic marble and gold combination. Nesting coffee tables like this one in our Phoenix interior design project, Calle Lejos, are easily stackable and moveable, making them the perfect solution for smaller spaces. Plus, who doesn’t love a layered look?
We hope this blog post helped you gain some inspiration on which coffee table you may want to style in your home! For more design trends, tips, and project reveals, subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Instagram.

Our Camelback Country Estates clients left California to enjoy Scottsdale living year-round. This Scottsdale interior design project was filled with transitional pieces that helped them comfortably evolve their traditional style into a completely livable, more modern vibe that is perfect for their young family. Keep reading for a look inside!
An Open Entry Space
Because this project backs up to Camelback Mountain, we wanted to bring the beautiful views indoors by incorporating large glass doors, windows, and mirrors throughout the home. In the entryway, the front door originally had an ornate metal design, so we opted to remove that detail for an added modern and open feel.
Further accentuating the openness of the space, we hung a large, geometric chandelier from the interior’s high ceilings for added impact. Just below the chandelier, we styled a rug and dining room table as the centerpiece, as opposed to a typical entry table, to fill in the remainder of this large room.
A Dining Room that’s Stylish for the Parents + Functional for the Kids
We believe you can have beautiful, chic spaces without it being all too precious to live with comfortably. For this family’s project, we designed a dining room that could also function as a kid’s craft space. To balance beauty and functionality, we styled stunning cabinets to home all art supplies, and also added leather chairs to ensure easy cleanup. As a backdrop for this space, we added a textured grasscloth wallpaper.
The Family Room That Serves the Family
This spacious family room gave our design team plenty of room to be creative. To maximize the large space, we decided to split the room into two: a sofa and a seating area. In the sofa area, we added a custom-sofa proportionate to the size of the space. To best separate these two sections of the family room, we hung two chandeliers from the wooden ceiling.
For family movie night entertainment, we hung a Samsung Frame TV that doubles as a piece of art when not in use. Because this TV was long, we wanted to maximize space underneath, while still being cost effective, so we opted to style two sideboards side by side as opposed to adding a custom piece.
While most of our clients don’t identify as risk-takers when it comes to design, they don’t want the same-old-same-old look either. They value unique, contemporary style with lots of personality and character; but they also want their homes to feel light, airy, inviting, and comfortable. We aimed to do just that in this family room by re-tiling the fireplace with a beautiful cement tile and quartz slab. We love how these details helped our clients step out of their comfort zones in an approachable way!
We Didn’t Forget to Show the Hallway Some Design Attention
To maximize space in the long hallway off the living room, we opted to put two consoles side by side to give the look of a larger, custom piece. On top of the console tables, we flanked the statement artwork with a cement lamp, vases, and other table accessories.
Boucle Bed + Grasscloth Wallpaper = Guest Bedroom Full of Texture!
This home’s guest bedroom is texture galore! For comfort and warmth, we started by adding a beautiful, sage green grasscloth wallpaper. Contrasting this pop of color, we styled a boucle-textured bed with stunning leather detail straps. Flanking this piece, we added two cane nightstands with brass footing and large lamps to fit the scale of the bed.
A Feminine Office Space
Our team opted to convert a small room right outside the primary bedroom into an office space for our client. We wanted to make this room feel feminine, so we added a beautiful embossed textured wallpaper and a blush-colored rug to match. For an added pop of color, we incorporated gold bookshelves with plenty of room for storing office supplies!

Great design consists of layered illumination. As you begin your next seasonal home refresh, aim to incorporate a mix of lighting sources. Lamps not only serve as statement pieces, but they also provide dimension and can set the mood of a room entirely! Read on for a look at a few lamps we’ve styled in recent interior design projects.
Desk Lamps Can Be Stylish and Functional
The first lamp we always recommend sourcing is a desk lamp. In the corner of our Fairway project’s primary bedroom, we added a small desk area for our client to get work done from home. We styled a beautifully arched desk lamp to not only tie in the other brass elements found throughout the room but also provide a light source to ensure productivity.
Brighten Your Bedside with a Stylish Nightstand Lamp
Sometimes lamps can be artwork themselves! In our Scottsdale interior design project, The Estates, we styled a modern, ceramic lamp on top of the two nightstands flanking the upholstered bed. Balancing both beautiful and practical, nightstand lamps are a great source of light on dimmer days. In bedroom areas, aim to find a lamp with shades that can help contain the light to avoid disturbing any nearby nappers.
Make a Statement with a Floor Lamp
Floor lamps can serve as beautiful statement pieces in any interior. We love that this brass floor lamp from our Marshall Ave interior design project is adjustable and can be molded to fit into nearly any space. This versatility will allow the piece to live in our client’s home for years to come. One of the top tips we share with clients is to not be afraid of investing in quality pieces like this that they love!
Beautiful Entryway Lamp
Have you ever laid eyes on a more beautifully intricate lamp? We can’t get over how the color of this lamp from our Cave Creek interior design project, Calle De Pompas, complements the adjacent artwork and accent wall. It’s the perfect touch to make guests feel right at home as soon as they enter.
Don’t Forget about Hallway Lamps
Last but not least, lamps always sit pretty on cabinets or console tables. Inside this cutout in our 83rd Place project, we opted to maximize space by styling a ceramic table lamp, artwork, and various accessories. We kept all of these details neutral to avoid overwhelming the space, and we love the subtle yet striking effect it had on the overall setup!

We heard you loud and clear, and are so excited to unveil the remainder of our Estates Project! Keep reading for a look at how we modernized this home and made it approachable and inviting with a full renovation.
The Mid-Century Modern Bedroom, with Custom Bed
Starting in the primary bedroom, we anchored the space with a custom, teal bed. Would you believe us if we told you that the wallpaper behind this show-stopping piece was designed in the 1960s? Still a popular pattern to this day, we love the mid-century modern feel it added to the space!
To keep the room feeling light and airy, we hung neutral, floor-to-ceiling custom drapery. This length is ideal to elongate the look of any interior!
To really allow the bed to shine, we kept the surrounding details neutral. Adjacent to the bed, we styled wood nightstands with a sleek silhouette and gorgeous cutout handles.
On top of each nightstand, we added a black lamp that’s practically artwork itself! We love how its round details look styled in front of the wallpaper pattern.
Get ready to grab a glass of wine and nestle in! To elevate the look of this cozy corner, we tiled the fireplace and drywalled over two adjacent windows to prevent distraction and really let the fireplace do all the talking. Finishing off the space, we added a rug, chaise, and side table to encourage rest and relaxation.
An Elegant and Inviting Dining Room for the Family
Moving into the family dining room, our goal was to create an elegant and inviting space that would fit the whole family. Surrounding the round table are six chairs with beautiful wooden, leather, and brass detailing. We carried the brass element upward and hung a two-tier, antique brass chandelier.
Lastly, to maximize wallspace behind the table, we hung two cement art pieces with curves in all the right places. We love the subtle interest and intrigue it added to the interior!
Combining Beauty and Function in the Family Room
If you’ve been keeping up with us for a while, you know that combining beauty and function is our specialty. Because of this, we aimed to keep the family room comfortable yet stylish.
To do so, we added a custom sectional, a large coffee table, and beautiful marble and brass side tables to allow the family a spacious area to gather and connect.
The other side of the family room came with a cozy fireplace that we wanted to center the remainder of our designs around. To fill the wall space on one side of the fireplace, we added a custom cabinet to store our clients’ essentials. On the other side, we added a plant and a gallery wall with similar height to artwork on the opposite wall.
Does this angle of the family room make anyone else’s jaw drop? As mentioned in part one of the Estates Project reveal, we wanted to capitalize on the high ceilings found throughout this home, so we opted to paint it black. We love how the brass chandelier and lighting pops off the ceiling!
For consistency, we added black frames to the sliding doors leading to the backyard. We also anchored these doors with custom drapery for an extra cozy feel.
The Best Detail for Last – Custom Built-Ins!
We may have saved our favorite detail for last! In the same family room, we added a custom built-in that goes all the way up to the ceiling. We filled the built-in with custom size shelving, so we could add various accessories and make it a beautiful piece of art as a whole.
To fill in the space in front of the shelves, we created an additional mini seating area by styling two chairs and a table.

Sit pretty, while fusing function and fashion into your home with benches! Whether styled in your entryway as storage for on-the-go goods or at the foot of your bed for added elegance, this timeless decor piece adds beauty and functionality to your everyday life. Keep reading for a look at five benches we recently styled in our interior design projects!
Leather and Fabric Upholstered Bench
Talk about texture! We pride ourselves on being able to provide the perfect blend of colors, textures, and styles that make a relaxed, eclectic design look chic and polished.
In our Fairway Project, we styled a beautifully upholstered bench at the foot of our custom bed. The bench’s textured upholstery evoked a high-end feel, and the leather buckle straps and iron legs added a distinctive and masculine touch to the space.
Boucle Bench
Is there a better way to welcome guests into your home than with a decor piece that naturally encourages conversation? This large and chic, chaise-style bench lures all who lay eyes on it. Neutral in color with black leather straps, this piece is the perfect complement to the statement artwork styled just above it.
Cane Bench
We care about having livable spaces that are full of beauty, character, and function. Benches are great to style in areas where you’ll need quick access to essential items. In this home gym, our clients can enjoy keeping their water, hand towel, and other equipment within easy reach during their workouts. Plus, we love how the cane on this bench elevates the space!
Leather Bench
We love the elevated comfort leather details add to our interior design projects. This bench’s blind-tufted, leather cushion sits inside an antique brass base, adding just the right amount of elegance and charm to our client’s entryway. It’s muted tones allow the adjacent artwork to shine!
Classic Wood Bench
If you’re in need of additional seating in your living area, but don’t have the space for large accent chairs, consider adding a wooden bench like this one! Simple in design and fusing function and fashion, this piece would sit pretty in any home without overwhelming the surrounding design.

If you’re in the interior design industry, you know there’s nothing better than wrapping up a project and seeing your full vision come to life (especially nowadays….thanks to recent supply chain issues!). These upcoming months, our team is booked and busy with finishing touches, and today kicks off the first of many new project reveals coming your way. Allow us to introduce you to our Estates Project!
A Warm Welcome + Modern Entryway
When designing an entryway, we love creating a space that instantly draws guests in and conveys a warm welcome. In this project, we really wanted to draw the attention upward to the home’s unique angled ceiling with wooden details, so we opted to paint it black.
Contrasting the black ceiling is this modern marble and brass console table with curves in all the right places. To reflect and bring more light into the space, we hung a beautiful octagon-shaped mirror. The way the glass is cut makes it look like it’s made of gemstones, further luring guests in!
Serving as the backdrop to these one-of-a-kind pieces, we added a stunning wallpaper with a washi cement finish for a touch of texture.
You know we love introducing statement pieces in an approachable way. To top off the entryway, we hung a hand-crafted, four-tiered chandelier with a personality of its own. Each symmetrical layer features individual plates of gold leaves, adding just the right amount of glam to this interior.
A Glam + Sophisticated Office
We believe in using our creativity and intuition, but also in listening to our clients and getting to know them deeply in order to create designs that are customized and personalized just for them. As the legal counsel for a major beauty brand, our client needed a space that she could come into and kick butt, while feeling inspired. This office does exactly that!
To complement the black cieling we carried throughout the home, we added black marble tile on the floor. Centering the space, we styled a beautifully carved desk with a spacious table top and a custom chair in one of her favorite colors – green!
Just behind the desk we added a grass cloth wallpaper accent wall and two shelving units with natural hand-woven cane paneling for added texture. And lastly, because no space is complete without touch of glamour, we hung a statement chandelier that really brought a “wow” factor into the space.
The office’s sitting area features a little bit of drama, a little bit of edge, and a lot of livability. To complement the bolder elements in this space, we styled a monochromatic, mid-century modern leather chair with a seductive silhouette. Adjacent to the chair is a brass side table for added functionality. Wouldn’t you want to have a seat and stay a while?
An Open + Inviting Formal Living Room
Just outside our client’s office is the formal living room. To keep the space feeling open, while still allowing for separation, we added glass doors for just the right amount of privacy. The door’s black frames beautifully complement the black accents found on the ceiling and nearby bookshelves. Lastly, we added two sofas to finish off this entertainment space.
We believe in culling the options for our clients and bringing them only the best selections for their space, the design, and their lifestyle, and sometimes that means seeking custom furnishings and finishes! To further elongate this living space’s high ceilings, we added floor-to-ceiling custom drapery. Further bringing the eye upward, we also added a two-tier brass chandelier.

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.

5 Unique Wall Art Ideas from Scottsdale Luxury Interior Designer
Few things make a home feel as complete as wall art does. It adds an undeniable dynamic, vibrancy, and texture to any space it’s styled in. Keep reading to discover a few unique pieces that have taken our clients’ walls to the next level!
Tapestry Wall Hangings
Upscale tapestry, anyone? We believe in strategically layering bold patterns, colors, and textures with quieter elements to create an interior that is interesting and easy to live with. This tapestry beautifully balances both subtle and show-stopping in our Fanfol Project. Despite being neutral and relaxed in color, the texture on this piece still demands the attention of all it encounters and we’re here for it!
Carved Concrete Wall Art
It’s time to bolden-up your neutrals! In our Montevista Project, we leveraged the power of neutrals to experiment with bolder textures. The intricate curves of this concrete wall art are carved in all the right places, adding just the right amount of intrigue to this home’s entryway. Doesn’t it draw you in?
Paper Shadow Box Wall Art
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. To avoid going over the top or creating too much of a good thing, we styled this neutral paper shadow box above this beautifully styled console table. We love how the wall pieces’ height elongated the look of the walls too!
Volcanic Ash 3 Dimensional Art
There’s nothing better than helping clients step into their bravest, boldest selves through home design. To do this, we aim to introduce color, pattern, and texture in an approachable way. This volcanic ash, three-dimensional wall art is subtle in color, but don’t be fooled… its corners and curves create a unique statement piece that simultaneously catches and restricts light in a captivating way. We loved playing with shadows by styling this artwork next to a nearby window in our Fanfol Project.
Wall Planters
One of our favorite ways to bring life into a home is through greenery. This hexagon wall planter is a great solution for adding small plants to your interiors without taking up counter or shelf space. Style it solo or pair with matching planters for a mirrored, cohesive look.

Art Deco architecture can be found everywhere, from the iconic Chrysler Building in New York to the vibrant buildings and houses in Miami and South Beach. While it may no longer be a popular building or house style, you can still draw inspiration from Art Deco when designing your living space. Redfin asked some design experts for creative ways for homeowners and renters to incorporate Art Deco interior design.

Last month on the blog, we shared a sneak peek inside our latest Paradise Valley interior design project, Fanfol. In this home, our goal was to create a gorgeous space filled with details that made it livable and well-suited for our client’s relaxed lifestyle. Read on to explore the remainder of this beautiful project!
The Master Bedroom with Details You’ll Love!
We love incorporating unique details into our client projects and this interior is full of them. First, we added a handmade wallpaper to serve as the focal point of the room and instantly draw guests in. We hand-selected a blue from the wallpaper to then paint on the ceiling for added intrigue.
After taking a closer look inside, guests may notice unique detailing that sets our bed selection apart from any other. This dipped bed has it’s natural wood exposed at the top, while the bottom half is coated in white paint. Such a subtle, yet noteworthy detail!
Flanking the bed, we styled two large lamps on top of white, fluted dressers. By keeping the furniture neutral, we really allowed the accent wall and ceiling detail to shine! Talk about “no wrong side of the bed” in this primary bedroom.
A Masculine, Golf-Inspired Guest Bedroom
In the guest bedroom, our client asked we keep his love for golf at the heart of our design choices to complement the golf medals and photos he planned to display in the interior. This inspired us to add a green accent wall and a masculine grouping of furniture, including an upholstered bed with leather accenting. Adjacent to the bed, we styled a multi-material lamp on top of a beautiful nightstand with cane detailing, two shades of wood, and brass finishes, all atop a complementing black and ivory rug.
A Feminine, Pink Guest Bedroom
To satisfy our client’s request for pops of pink in the second guest bedroom, we applied a coat of light pink paint to our board and batten accent wall and a vintage, pink rug to further warm up the space. Keeping the furniture light and neutral to prevent overwhelm, we styled an upholstered bed flanked by two nightstands with brass and marble detailing. We also set up a small seating area in the corner of the room for guests to comfortably lounge in the space.
To finish off the interior, we opted for adding a fluted console table as opposed to a dresser. This our go-to cost-effective solution for spaces like guest bedrooms, where drawers likely won’t get much use.
A Lively & Fun Powder Bath Remodel
This powder bathroom was such a fun space to work on! We started by adding a grasscloth wallpaper comprised of white and brass detailing. Next to the accent wall, we hung a unique mirror with hair-on-hide and brass edging. Lastly, to further bring life into the space and incorporate more of the brass detailing, we added a brass planter above the lavatory.
Design Where Luxury Meets Livable
In the seating area in one of the bedrooms, we hung custom drapery and added this modern, brass iron chair with a soft-curved structure and cream-toned cushions. We love when luxury meets livable in details like this!
The Home Theater Room Design Everyone Will Enjoy
Our client’s movie room was already near completion at the start of our project. Because the accent wall, flooring, and back-row recliners were already installed, we wanted to make sure any finishing touches added to the space really made it feel unique and personal to our clients.
For a cozy feel, we added a custom sofa that complemented the blue from the flooring and a few cacti near the movie screen. For functionality, we also added a coffee table and a few side tables. Above the pre-existing bar area, we hung movie posters highlighting some of our clients’ favorite films. Lastly, we added custom lighting to really give the space that iconic, movie theater feel.
Every Theater Needs a Bathroom
In the bathroom off the movie room, we aimed to mirror the details found throughout the movie room overall. First, we incorporated a blue mirror above the pre-existing vanity to tie in the blue from the movie room’s flooring and custom sofa. Then, we added dark wallpaper to remain consistent with the theater’s dark walls. Lastly, we tied in another movie poster to give one of our client’s favorite movies a moment to shine.
