Denver-based designer Andrea Schumacher is never one to shy away from neither textures nor colors. This becomes more than evident after a quick scroll through her Instagram page. Andrea knows how to walk a fine line where her projects are fresh, yet timeless and no two are ever alike. With that in mind, one could only imagine the serendipitous joy of Andrea's clients when they connected over Facebook. While the then-engaged, now-married couple loved the structure and exterior of this Cherry Village home, they felt the interior lacked some joy. The clients made it clear to Andrea that they wanted her to have fun with this redesign.

Andrea began with a coat of white paint to lighten up the previously brown and heavy interiors of the home and things took off from there.

The color palette throughout the home was heavily inspired by the Serendip wallpaper by Manuel Canovas, seen in the dining room. Andrea's clients were not afraid of color and it shows. The couple even chose to go with the very same wallpaper as their choice for colors in their dining room canopy chairs. The textures, designs and colors seen in the Cherry Village home are playful and light hearted.

The great room displays Andrea's innovative creativity and resourcefulness. Andrea and her team wrapped the fireplace in grasscloth, which helps hide the TV. This approach is also much more friendly on the budget than using stone. The matching colored sofas provide for a cohesive and uniform design narrative throughout the space. They were upholstered in Kravet's Ypsilon in Vizir.

Andrea keeps the levity and playfulness going in the sitting room, where plenty of natural light flows in to allow for a custom natural sheepskin rug step into center stage.

As a nod to the home owners' affection for dogs, Andrea added a flocked dog wall covering by Osborne and Little in an adjacent mudroom. The black and white from the mudroom connects to the center table and throw pillows within the sitting room .

The evidently entertaining project makes for a uniquely gorgeous home which does not take itself too seriously and has plenty of color and levity.

Phyllis Browning Company presents

Our version of this timeless classic started with a heavy focus on natural materials. A sawn-cut gray Lueder stone exterior gives a sense of comforting weight that is balanced with a super smooth stucco finish. A standing seam metal roof and custom chimney shroud pay homage to the Hill Country aesthetic, while elevating the style from cottage to castle. A traditional craftsman roof extension over the front patio draws you in where you are welcomed with beechwood stained tongue-and-groove ceiling and custom wrought iron front door. Inside, you are greeted by a 16-foot double-sided see-through fireplace and the first of four exposed wood beam ceiling treatments. Passing custom built-ins and piano area, the foyer gives way to the great room, kitchen, and dining room, which embrace an open, functional layout. Natural light illuminates these living areas with a half-dozen French doors and twice as many windows. Custom herringbone-laid brick flooring leads to the pantry, mudroom, and laundry room, each with a variety of must-have features.

Temporary Wallpaper

Wallpaper once was a simple feature of a home that has now turned into a key creative staple in home design. From intricate patterns, colors to visuals that tell a story, wallpaper is an essential feature in 2021 that enhances any room. Wallpaper selection creates a sense of depth, style, and visual interest.

Fashionable Healthy Kitchen Appliances

In light of the pandemic, people have turned to a wellness living lifestyle reflected in their kitchen design. Wellness kitchen appliances make healthy living easy and effortless. Going into 2021, kitchens have transformed to include storage for whole foods, prep spaces, and innovated appliances to make healthy meals... can you say 'air fryer'?

Maximalism

A few years ago, the minimalism trend hit the design market. Originating in the '60's, the idea of having a stark white room with only the bare essentials was all the rage. Now, since Covid hit and everyone has been stuck inside, they realize they actually would like more colors. Maximalism is making the comeback with people putting mismatched furniture with wacky colors all over their house.

Plants

Greenery in the house is nothing new, but it has especially started trending since quarantine. As people were stuck inside, a little greenery helped bring the outdoors in to them, and make them feel less alone. Many new plant moms and dads were born in this era, and this trend will continue throughout the year.

The Color Green

Green has made its way back to the interior design world. Whether plants or kitchen cabinets, green brings a sense of relaxation and wellness to any home. Many designers have moved from whites and neutrals to pops of color. People strive for a healthy living lifestyle, and the green pop of color is perfect because it enraptures nature, wellness, and health.

What design trends do you see being popular in 2021?

Actress, singer, and dancer Ashley Tisdale announced her own interior design company Frenshe Interiors, which is named after her lifestyle blog Frenshe. Tisdale, 35, launched her company posting a picture via Instagram on February 24 of a kitchen she renovated with her father and contractor, Michael Tisdale.

“Welcome to my passion project! Over the years I’ve gotten to work with some amazing interior designers and learned a lot about myself in the process,” she captioned the post. “My dad and I have started to work together on projects for other clients and I can’t wait to share with you. This page will have my own work and also designs that inspire me.”

On March 4, Tisdale officially announced her company on her Frenshe blog titled “Introducing My New Passion Project: Frenche Interiors.” In the blog post, Tisdale goes into detail about her home renovation process, which unlocked her love for design.

“We were looking to move to our dream area over the last couple of years and when we got the chance we jumped at it even though the house was falling apart,” she wrote when describing bringing her house back to life.

The project began as a personal home renovation project, which turned into her new interior design business. The renovated home is located in Los Angeles’s Los Feliz neighborhood and was sold for $5.78 million.

Tisdale included before and after pictures of the property, so people can see how her vision came to life. Alongside her dad, Tisdale maintained the integrity of the home, while renovating much of the home including the roof, windows, and floors.

In February, Tisdale announced via Instagram that she took the Kelly Wearstler Masterclass. The masterclass is a 17-part course that takes aspiring designers through the world of interior design while perfecting their style through patterns, light, materials, architecture, and furniture.

For more information about Tisdale’s interior design jobs and accumulated knowledge visit Frenshe Interior’s Instagram.

What do you do when there’s not a client- I mean no one to specifically design for- when staging a home to be sold?  The answer, of course, is that you have to invent a story. I found this out when I was asked to stage this home for a prominent developer here in Miami, Florida.

There is a reason why today’s hottest architects and interior designers are referred to as starchitects and design celebs. Their designs are just spectacular. Enter 835 E Dilido Dr. Created by the renowned firm Design Solutions and award-winning interior designer Luciana Fragali, the home is an oasis of luxury in Miami’s Venetian Island neighborhood.

This magnificent Venetian Islands estate has 99 feet of Biscayne Bay frontage, showcased by 12-foot-high retractable Vitrocsa windows that blur the line between inside and out. The sweeping, open-plan interior leads directly to deep terraces, a zero-edge pool with an integrated spa, a cabana kitchen, and an Ipe wood dock.

Inside the beautiful form and exceptional function continues. Rich materials and bespoke details make the large, 7, 112 sq. ft. home feel handcrafted and intimate. The home’s concept—neutral and layered—was informed by Fragali’s Brazilian heritage.

“A lot of my inspirations come from Brazil,” she says, “which I think is the design capital of the world—I’m proud of my people.” But she adds that she’s over the rustic finishes that many associate with the country’s aesthetic. Fragali counts on Brazilian designers such as Jader Almeida as inspirations and this home was no exception. Generous spaces set the stage to showcase custom pieces by Jader Almeida, making this home truly unlike no other. Though with regard to this Venetian Island project, their influence is hard to discern except around the edges: Design/Solutions is doing something all its own.

“I always advise clients to go neutral for big spaces, so they don’t get bored,” Fragali says. So when it came to designing this home, color was saved for accessories, which could be mixed and matched and rotated. Fragali knew that the concept needed an injection of warmth through texture, artwork, curtains, and accessories. These accessories are used to elevate the design and functionality of this modern yet comfortable living space.

Even within its limited palette, the family room carries mighty visual interest—and coziness. The TV hangs from a rich marble wall with a matte finish, above a custom floating shelve. The walnut wood backing for the marble slab features a simplistic design and exudes the warmth that was the designer’s goal. The beige sofa and black accent chairs are from Jader Almeida.

The living room is a variation on the theme, perhaps a shade more formal. Another Jader Almeida sofa appears, the orthogonal design of the elevated base of turned feet with continuous seat and the large feather pillows, attract for a pleasant experience in the living environment. The Basic sofa is an expression of the signature of contemporary design. Wooden Easy armchairs back up against the million-dollar water view, while six Jader Almeida pendants frame the dining room table creating an aesthetic that is both industrial and sophisticated.

The large office features a privacy glass feature and private bath, with courtyard views. Upstairs, two guest rooms feature wide bay views, in addition to the secluded master suite which also offers two balconies, an Ornare closet, and a private gym.

The post Special Elements For Kitchens By Valcucine appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Valcucine launched its new, patented kitchen system based on the circadian cycle.

Valcucine, among the world’s leading brands in kitchen design and technology for over three decades, recently launched the smart, patented V-Motion system. It simplifies daily kitchen chores by activating various functions with the simple gesture of a hand, like changing the backlight of your kitchen.
 Daylight is important for our physical and psychological well-being. Based on the “circadian cycle”, the back panel light automatically recreates the changes that occur in sunlight throughout a 24-hour period, reproducing natural-looking light.

The circadian cycle is a natural, periodical biorhythm that repeats itself at 24-hour intervals. It is governed by many different factors and based on external stimuli such as the way light changes from day to night; like daylight through your window.

Valcucine has been prominent in the kitchen industry for thirty-five years, earning a reputation for the improvements it adds to the uses and longevity of a kitchen.

If you love a charming or vintage feel, you'll love the way this homeowner displays bulk spices on open shelving. The colors and textures of the spices add dimension to the space, as do other kitchen necessities and a jar of red apples. Gold fixtures and reclaimed wood shelving complete the look.

There's no rule that says you NEED to display plates and bowls on your open shelves. This homeowner chose to display greenery, which adds a natural feel to the entire kitchen. Wood-topped stools, industrial lighting and clean white countertops finish off the design.

If you want to make a big statement, use open shelving on the wall of a room with cathedral ceilings. White wood paneling adds to the wow-factor, while the long farmhouse table and rustic finishes make the design look rustic and cozy.

Reclaimed wood shelves with marble countertops are a truly elegant combination. The pair also happens to give off an extremely natural look. In this kitchen, the look is complemented by gold finishes and a custom, vintage-inspired stove.

If you love the French country look, you'll love using open shelving to create European-inspired designs like this one. These shelves display bulk spices and plates, and also help to create a kitchen feature we absolutely love: A home coffee bar.

Though completely neutral, this kitchen has plenty of design interest. The differing colors of the wood floors, wooden dining table, white subway tile, black countertops and silver chairs all come together to form a modern, family-friendly space. A chalkboard area adds to the completed design.

For all those looking for the sleek, modern kitchen that still has the charm and finishing of the classic French colonial design, look no farther. Dacor, a leader in innovations, recently unveiled their new model at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Showcase in Orlando last week to lauded reviews. The design, a sleek composite of stainless steel exterior keeps the unit blending perfectly into modern looking kitchen designs while offering the same charm and compartmentalized organization for any practical homeowner looking to build a luxury kitchen for the modern era.

Dacor’s four-french-door unit is bringing a new concept to modern luxury kitchens with compartments constructed for different uses from freezers to FreshZones for entertainment needs, and the ability for the whole unit to be built-in without obstructing the valuable space needed while cooking or entertaining in the area.

“Versatility helps ensure luxury kitchens are not only custom from a design standpoint, but from an entertaining perspective as well,” said Michael Magnani, Director Product Marketing, Dacor. “We’re proud to bring Dacor’s latest cooling solution to KBIS to highlight its beautiful exterior aesthetics, precise high-end food preservation qualities and high-tech enhancements. As the most versatile built-in refrigerator on the market, the Four-Door FreshZone Plus French Door Refrigerator is an ideal solution for replacement or new construction scenarios.”

The refrigerator’s FreshZone Plus capabilities provide flexible storage options that can regulate accordingly to the section’s contents. Meaning they can either expand sections to accommodate a watermelon, or change temperatures if you’re chilling wine or steaks in the compartment.

In addition to its cooling capabilities, the refrigerator also features triple-door mounted Wi-Fi enabled cameras in the FreshZone. Through a smartphone, the cameras display the refrigerator’s contents so there’s never a need to forget to pick something up at the grocery store.

Let’s all just face it, water isn’t fun. It never was, and anyone that told you otherwise was lying. That’s not saying that drinking water isn’t important, and a necessary life function, but its just not a fun thing to do. Luckily, there’s an answer—Soda Stream’s Aqua Fizz.

Seltzer is fun, bubbly, and the healthiest alternative possible to soda while still having the carbonated bubbling. This machine is simple, easy to use, and sized perfectly. For all those living in cities like New York or Los Angeles, where counter space and kitchen sizes come at a heavy premium, buying a new countertop appliance can mean facing an irksome reality, turning most things down because they just can’t fit no matter how practical they are. (Looking at you, mixers and food processors.) The Soda Stream though stands at just over 17 inches high, well within the height of most cabinets, and only 6 inches wide.

The product comes with a CO2 can, where the bubbles are coming from, two glass carafes, and caps for both bottles.

The machine is also ridiculously easy to use. The space for the bottle opens with a latch for easy access to lock things in, and the boring water turns into brilliant seltzer with a simple touch of a button.

Whether you like seltzer really bubbly like Polar or less carbonated like Perrier is up to you, and the longer the hold on the button, the bubblier the bottle will be.

This is a perfect product for any home. Between the stainless steel finish, black liner, and compact design, it’s the perfect fit for any seltzer-lover to have their fix on demand.

Featuring a sensual yet minimalistic, glass island worktop supported by a single, U-shaped "leg," the one-of-a-kind, carbon fiber cooking space was inspired by the Italian automaker's concept car, "Sergio."

Not a fan of the provocative hue? Not a problem.

Comprised of 84 unique components, the luxurious chef's haven can be easily customized to suit the taste of buyers; for instance, the futuristic peninsula also comes in sophisticated black and crisp white.
