Quiet Luxury – Earthen Inspired
This Dallas family home redesign was deeply rooted in their aspirations to elevate their daily life, entertain with ease, and find solace after bustling entrepreneurial days. Their home needed to be a reflection of their story – a place where both the family, including their beloved Wheaton terrier Bobo, and their friends could gather.
Central to this home's redesign was the desire to elevate everyday living while creating an inviting environment for family and friends. Each space, from the living room to the dining room, has been thoughtfully curated to foster meaningful gatherings, turning everyday moments into memorable experiences. The custom furniture pieces and the carefully considered design elements work in concert to create a home that is not just a showcase of aesthetic beauty but a functional space that encourages connection and celebrates life's simple pleasures.
The Leisure Lounge, a space designed for both relaxation and connection, is enhanced by a dramatic architectural element that challenges conventional expectations. At first glance, this striking element appears to mimic a fireplace, yet it serves a radically different purpose. It's a geometric wall feature, artfully crafted to frame and highlight an outdoor water feature. This ingenious design shifts the narrative, turning what could be mistaken for a traditional indoor element into a window to the outdoors. It invites a serene biophilic experience, blurring the lines between the interior and the natural world. This transformation turns the room into a harmonious oasis, where the calming influence of water is seamlessly integrated into the living space.
The living room is a testament to artisanal craftsmanship. Here, the custom-designed fireplace, with its limestone plaster finish and softly rounded corners, adds a sculptural beauty. Accompanying furniture, like the bespoke dual-facing tete-a-tete and curved sofa, are not just functional but artistic statements, enhancing the room's welcoming aura.
In the dining room, the asymmetrical table is more than a centerpiece; it's a celebration of unique design, encouraging the flow of conversation and laughter during gatherings. This space is a harmonious blend of traditional elegance and modern flair.
The primary bedroom suite is a haven of serenity. The custom king bed, with its delicately curved headboard, promises restful nights, while the sleek console and floating shelves add a touch of modern sophistication.
Woven into the story of this room, you will find a striking portrait of a woman, a piece imbued with its own dramatic backstory. This artwork was rescued from a mansion in the 1920s that tragically caught fire, adding a layer of historical intrigue to the room. This portrait isn't merely decorative; it's a conversational centerpiece that connects the past to the present, reflecting the depth and richness of the family's appreciation for art and history.
In this earthen sanctuary, every piece of furniture narrates a story meticulously custom-designed by the Urbanology team. These aren't just furnishings; they are a confluence of the family's essence and the artisans' mastery, emblematic of truly bespoke design. This transformation marries traditional, rich design principles with modern perception, creating a space that's not only aesthetically stunning but also deeply meaningful. It's a blend of elegance and comfort, where each element, from the plush shearling chairs to the unique dining table, weaves a tale of collaborative creativity and authenticity.
