Conceptualization

the combination of timeless elegance & elevated elements evoke an opulent, yet delicate feeling in this quiet luxury aesthetic. various textural components are pulled together to establish a sense of aged sophistication with a modern twist. soft velvets & vintage-inspired moldings are adorned with intricate detailing, drawing from early 20th century parisian architecture. deep & rich colors harmoniously blend with soft textures, subtly encapsulating the allure of a glamorous voyage into the past, creating an atmosphere of refined luxury & nostalgia, reminiscent of a bygone era.

Clients Andre and Simone purchased their 1963 raised ranch home in a suburban, New Jersey college town in 2018. The home fits the blended family of Simone’s 5-year old daughter and Andre’s 7-year old son with their budget and convenient proximity to New York City. Although the family stays busy during the week, dinners together are an important aspect despite their busy schedules. The couple originally purchased the home as their “starter home,” but they are now ready to make it their forever home with a few improvements.
