Juliette's Hideaway Project

Title: Classy Elegance with Coastal Charm
Design Style: Classy, Elegant with Warm Tones and Neutral Fabrics
Room Type: Living Room, dining room, primary bedroom adding feature walls and beams to the ceiling and shiplap on the main wall and hanging chandeliers  to add some unique style. Added pendant lighting above the island and purchased all new furniture for the space. 

Color Palette: Warm whites, soft blues, sandy beiges, and rich browns to reflect a coastal yet sophisticated vibe.

Furniture: A mix of classic upholstered sofas and armchairs with clean lines, complemented by wooden coffee tables and side tables.
Textiles: Plush, neutral-toned fabrics for upholstery, paired with throw pillows and blankets in coastal hues and patterns.
Decor: Nautical-themed artwork, decorative shells, and driftwood-inspired accessories to subtly infuse the coastal theme.
Lighting: Elegant, warm-toned lighting fixtures to create a cozy and inviting ambiance.

For The Hideaway Project, we set out to create an extraordinary space that radiates class, elegance, and warmth! With a stunning blend of neutral fabrics and coastal features, the design perfectly captures the client's sophisticated taste while offering a serene and inviting atmosphere. Our goal was to achieve a cohesive look that beautifully marries their love for coastal aesthetics with timeless elegance. By incorporating high-quality, timeless furniture in neutral tones and adding warm, inviting colors, we crafted a luxurious yet comfortable haven. Natural materials like wood and linen bring a cozy texture, while delightful coastal accessories—think seashell-inspired decor and nautical-themed artwork—infuse the space with soft blue and sandy hues that evoke the beach!

The room's existing architecture featured a few structural elements that couldn't be altered. I designed seamlessly around them integrating the new aesthetic. They also had a collection of sentimental antique pieces. I made sure to showcase them into the design without disrupting the overall flow and style.

Strategic Space Planning: The room was divided into functional zones, including a cozy seating area and dining space, enhancing both organization and spaciousness. Creative storage solutions, like built-in shelving and hidden compartments, helped maintain elegance and reduce clutter. Existing structural elements, such as columns, were designed to match the theme, while the window area was transformed into a cozy conversation nook with comfortable seating and soft textiles.

Budget Considerations: The client had a good budget but needed to allocate funds wisely, prioritizing high-impact furniture that would be long lasting and decor for quality and visual appeal, while choosing budget-friendly options for less critical items. Balancing Bold and Neutral Elements: To achieve a dynamic look, neutral furniture was paired with bold decor, such as vibrant artwork and statement lighting, creating harmony.
