Our Top 6 Cabinet Design Picks that Balance Form & Function

If you’ve been keeping up with Living With Lolo for a while, you’d know how much we love balancing beauty and function. Keep reading to discover a few of our top cabinet designs!

 

Stylish Decorative Office Cabinet Designs

As the owner of a local real estate brokerage, the client from our Monte Lindo Project needed a dedicated space to dive into his craft in the comfort of his own home. Because we recognize how important it is to be inspired by the interiors around you, we filled the home office with masculine elements like this stunning iron cabinet with an antique gunmetal finish. The glass doors made it perfect for displaying timeless home decor and treasured items.

Functional Arched Metal Cabinet

We love incorporating unique shapes into our clients’ interior design projects for added interest. This metal cabinet’s arched structure and stark contrast was the perfect design statement to include in our Fanfol Project’s mid-century modern home.

 

Rattan Cabinets are Perfect for Storage and Staging

Here’s a statement piece you’re going to want to weave into your interiors ASAP! In our Montevista Project, we incorporated a large rattan cabinet to serve as the focal point for this room. The near-opaque cabinet doors made it the perfect space for hiding not-so-glamourous household goods. Plus, our clients couldn’t get enough of the soft, textural twist this modern piece added to the room!

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!

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!

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?

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.

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!

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!
