Project Reveal: Fanfol Pt 2

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.

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.

Project Reveal: Fanfol Pt 1


For the past few months, we’ve been sharing sneak peeks on
social of our latest Paradise Valley remodel project. We are so excited to finally begin unveiling this project’s full reveal on our blog. Read on to explore our Fanfol Project!

A Entrance Worth a “Wow”

At Living With Lolo, we know how to make a grand entrance. Upon entering the home, we aimed to draw attention to the interior’s high ceilings and architectural detail by adding black paint for contrast. To further draw the eye upward, we added a stunning chandelier with brass detailing and crystal-looking pieces made out of alabaster. We can’t get over the “wow” factor it added to this space!

For the remainder of the entryway, we stuck with a neutral palette and styled a black and white rug, custom upholstered bench, and a console cabinet. This cabinet balances beautiful and functional as its storage is perfect for items that our clients can quickly grab as they head out the door.

On top of the console cabinet, we styled two abstract, brass mirrors, which we opted to hang from the wall on one side and rest on the table on the other. In the reflection of the mirror, you’ll notice a beautiful textural piece we ordered. Handmade with wool, this detail goes down as one of our favorites we styled in this home.

Incorporate Shapes for Added Design Interest

Whether it’s an arched cabinet, mirror, or circular side table, we love incorporating unique shapes into our client projects for added interest. Adjacent to the custom, upholstered sectional topped with custom pillows, we styled a stunning circular side table made out of shag green and marble. Peeking out from behind the sofa is a stunning, arched glass cabinet, perfect for displaying treasured items and luxe details.

For the interior’s centerpiece, we added a custom wood and glass coffee table that mirrors the circular structure of the nearby side table. To complement the neutral pieces throughout the space, we added neutral artwork and hand-finished leather chairs filled with design-forward details.

The Mid-Century Modern Dining Room

Outfitting the large black table in this project’s dining space, we added ten mid-century modern leather chairs. We can’t get over how beautifully sculpted the oak frames and float-like cushions look!

Reminiscent of the brass and crystal-like chandelier in the home’s entryway, we also added two flush mount fixtures made of brass and crystal above the dining table. Wouldn’t you like to be invited to a dinner party in this space?

Behind the dining table, we included a cane and wood sideboard just below custom floating shelves, which we styled with neutral accessories and artwork. 

 

Don’t Forget the Backyard

Is there anything better than a summer getaway in your own backyard? We furnished our clients’ outdoor area by adding a cement dining table and metal chairs with custom rope detailing. When selecting this furniture, we made it a priority to ensure the pieces would be long-lasting and durable enough to withstand the Arizona climate.

An Interior Designers 5 Favorite Kinds of Greenery & Faux Plants

There’s no better way to bring life into your home this Spring than with greenery and faux plants. Historically signifying nobility and status, house plants are now a common and timeless piece for adding delightful, positive energy to any abode. Read on to discover 5 of our favorite plants to incorporate into our clients’ homes!

Use a Cactus to Bring the Outdoors in, Especially in Phoenix Design

As an Arizona-based interior design firm, we love bringing the outdoors in with cacti. Available in various sizes and heights, these versatile plants can be styled on a small shelf or planted in a floor planter to maximize space in interiors with tall ceilings. In our Black Rock Project’s entryway, we added a faux cacti to fill in the wall space next to the bench and artwork.

Olive Trees Create Peace & Harmony

Symbolizing peace and harmony, we love curating serene spaces with olive trees. Investing in a realistic-looking, higher-end faux plant is key to fooling the eye of those with even the greenest of thumbs. In our Fanfol Project, we filled the corner of the large living space with this 7-foot faux olive tree from Crate and Barrel. To further personalize the plant for our space and add a dash of contrast, we planted the tree in a black, circular planter.

Vases with Stems

If you’ve been following us for a while, you’d know that vases are one of our favorite accessories to style on top of cabinets and console tables. You can take your tablescape a step further by adding real or faux branches to the vases. McGee & Co. is one of our favorite shops for sourcing dainty and delightful greenery like this! We recommend bending and fluffing the branches for an extra realistic look.

A Snake Plant is Perfect the Not-So Green Thumb

Don’t have a green thumb or aren’t in love with the look of faux plants? You’re in luck: snake plants are incredibly low maintenance and require little care in order to flourish. With the ability to survive in low light levels and without fresh water for 2-8 weeks, these eye-catching plants are perfect for incorporating authentic color into your home with ease.

Brighten and Fill Large Space with a Fig Tree

Symbolizing prosperity and wellbeing, fig trees are another great option for maximizing space in larger interiors. We love how the lush leaves can help brighten and liven up any space. In our Fanfol Project, we opted to style it in a wicker basket for a more natural, boho feel.

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.
