          • A Contemporary Master Bedroom in a Traditional Home, Sometimes those who love contemporary design actually live in traditional spaces. There is no reason not to have a room that matches your personal style when a balanced interior design is developed. New homeowners who find modernist designs appealing had a master bedroom with architectural features that included traditional moldings, oak hardwood floors, paneled doors, traditional wall sconces and a chandelier. When INSTUDIO Design Directors discussed ideas about a new bedroom design the husband wanted to push the overall design plan in a new direction. He had seen back lit upholstered walls and wanted to include this idea. A white fabric upholstered wall system with lighting was designed. The walls and trim were painted a pale blue gray. A plush blue custom rug both grounded and added color to the room. Gloss white parsons mini desks became night tables. Shiny white wall mounted lamps replaced sconces and reading lamps. The simple straight lines, dark wood and curves of the homeowner’s traditional mahogany sleigh bed added juxtaposition to the design. Outfitted with white on white the bed linens the room has contemporary allure. , Bedrooms Design

          • A Fun Foyer Features Fantastic Art, A foyer gives visiting guests a first impression of both the homeowners and the home’s interior design. When a young couple chose INSTUDIO to design their home the large foyer of their Burlingame, CA bungalow was painted a sunny yellow with white trim for a traditional look. Traditional furnishings completed the space. The furniture, lighting, rug and art was all very nice but did little to reflect the vibrant young couple living there. When narrowing down selections for a new console table the designers were told by the clients that they rarely used their existing cabinet and could easily live with no furniture in the foyer. A new accent/wall color was selected for adjoining rooms it made sense to include some of the new color in the foyer to coordinate the rooms. INSTUDIO suggested painting the walls in wide horizontal stripes. This treatment would make the room itself a work of art. The Homeowner/Husband surprised both his wife and INSTUDIO by teaming with a friend to create a large scale work of computer art based on the iconic Chuck Close “Self portrait, 1967” as an enormous Lego toy. Visiting guests now get a first impression of the young fun art loving couple who live in the house the moment that they walk through the front door. , Other Spaces Design
