Design ideas for a traditional family room in Orange County with grey walls.

Custom built-in cabinets and bookshelves with textured grasscloth wallpaper makes the perfect backdrop for this cozy family room. Sheer striped roman shades still lets plenty of light it while still allowing for privacy. Vintage swivel club chairs upholstered in an updated blue plaid fabric. The yummy rich brown tufted leather ottoman allows for plenty of room to rest your feet on.

Inspiration for an expansive mediterranean formal open concept living room in Phoenix with a standard fireplace, a stone fireplace surround, yellow walls, medium hardwood floors and a concealed tv.

This office design met the need for a comfortable seating area for casual business meetings. The distressed wood bookcase from Restoration Hardware fit the space perfectly. Carefully selected furnishings provide a mix of leather, kilim print custom chairs, rustic wood, stainless, leather, and a menswear patterned carpet.

This second story master suite addition, complete with private balcony, is a restful retreat. The clean lined leather bed with silk linens is a comfortable contrast to the antique crystal chandelier, and antique bed side table. Beth Singer Photography

This open concept breakfast area off the kitchen is the hardest working room in the house. The show stopping sea glass chandelier sparkles as light streams in the windows overlooking the pool area. A pair of original abstract artwork in blue and white adorn the space. We mixed Sunbrella outdoor fabric chairs with leather seats that can be wiped off when the inevitable spill happens. An outdoor rug hides crumbs while standing up the wet feet tracking in from the adjacent patio and pool area.
