Gloaming Way, Beverly Hills Once weighed down by dark floors, heavy railings, and too many dividing walls, the interior of this Spanish Beverly Hills home​ has transformed into one of spaciousness, light, and organic touches of nature.

Spaces that echo the affirmation ‘where there is
s love, there is light.’
Before & After
BEFORE
Because the kitchen has low ceilings and low exposure to light, we needed to come up with a design that would infuse the room with space and brightness. We chose a powdery white paint for the walls, white lacquer base cabinetry, and heavily-veined calacutta counter tops — all to help reflect light. We then brought in contrast and texture with deep blacks and walnut wood accents. We adhered closely to our color palette to achieve a peaceful, uncluttered atmosphere.

The yoga room and bathroom underwent a complete transformation. The dark tile flooring was replaced with the same light wood flooring as in the foyer, the walls were repainted to match the powdery white color throughout the home, and detailed crown moulding added to the light, airy feel of the space. In the bathroom, both the counter and shower were updated with marble and open shelving replaced the dark storage previously offered.

We felt the best way to make use of the high slanted ceiling in this small room was to build a sleeping loft where our client’s daughter could tuck herself away and overlook her room as if from a magical treehouse. This increase in floor space allowed us to also build her a custom daybed that serves as a sofa in the daytime and an extra bed for sleep-overs at night. Under the loft, we built her a custom desk so that it would fit perfectly in the space, and under the stairs to the loft we built in shelves and cubbies to organize her school work and her toys.
