To set off the cabinetry, a marble-look, quartz countertop work surface creates a sleek look. The eye catching herringbone, marble backsplash adds the perfect texture and pattern to the space.

Details: Styling your Space

The fine details of a room enhance the character, originality and adds a boost of personality to the design. 

Feature Walls:

Hang your favorite photos, mirrors and artwork in an unique way to create the perfect focal wall that will liven up a drab living space. My basement living area needed some character and by hanging a variety of wall art in a unique, yet still balanced way, I was able to achieved a successful, fun feature wall.  

By hanging artwork or photos in a linear or geometric pattern it creates a more formal look with clean lines and continuity. This look is often achieved by using the same frame or frame color and meticulously measuring out the ideal pattern. Overall, the end result is quite striking.

This brilliant design features a stunning feature wall by placing wood and mirror in a striped pattern. Not only does this look beautiful but it is functional by allowing the space to appear larger then it is.
