Tour a Fearless Family Home + Meet the Clients

Bedecked in pattern and meticulously filled with quirky conversation pieces, this updated craftsman is a stylish kid-friendly mecca. Cleanable seating, custom homework stations and a family table for gathering make this home as functional as it is stylish. These clients were fearless when it comes to color and pattern. The result is a home with stylish heart-happy moments our clients aren’t afraid to live in.

Tour this incredible home, featured in the November 2017 issue of Better Homes & Gardens.

Q. WHO IS THE CLIENT AND HOW DID THEY FIND PULP?

Two hip professionals with school-aged children were searching for a designer in Seattle to help them personalize and finish their new home. After realizing that they couldn’t make their home as stylish as they wanted it to be, they began their search for an interior designer and found Pulp. After checking out our work, they decided Pulp was the team to bring their dream home to life.

“The clients’ house was already structurally beautiful, but just wasn’t personalized. The main focus of this project was to take the beautiful bones of the home and personalize every inch.”

Q. WHY DID THEY SEEK OUT A DESIGNER RATHER THAN ATTEMPTING IT ON THEIR OWN ?

These clients had great personal style as it is. They had similar tastes, but both liked different things and found that every time they tried to pull something together on their own, it never turned out as exceptional as they wanted. They knew they needed to bring in a designer to create a cohesive, yet dynamic home that illustrated both of their styles to perfection.

Q. WHAT WAS THE CLIENT’S PROJECT SCOPE?

The clients’ house was already structurally beautiful, but just wasn’t personalized. The main focus of this project was to take the beautiful bones of the home and personalize every inch through bold wallcovering, lighting, furnishings and unique accessories to maximize the personal touch.

“Anytime you take a statement wallcovering to four walls and a ceiling, you’re bound to create a jaw-dropping transformation.”

Q. WHAT WAS THE MOST DRAMATIC TRANSFORMATION?

Easy. The transformation in the master bedroom was stunning. Anytime you take a statement wallcovering to four walls and a ceiling, you’re bound to create a jaw-dropping transformation.

Q. BETH, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE SPACE?

I have to say the bedroom is my favorite space in the home. I think we have to give ourselves a pat on the back for creating a room that is soothing and collected, but full of bold pattern.

Q. CAROLINA, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE SPACE?

I love the living room. It’s filled with so many statement pieces, from the dynamic art selections to the layered patterns throughout. It comes together for an absolutely beautiful space.

Q. WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST PROJECT CHALLENGE?

The TV was not centered, which prevented us from framing the design around the TV. This family primarily uses the living room to gather and watch TV together, so the off-centered placement created a challenge. We always design spaces to function seamlessly into our clients’ everyday lives, so we had to figure out a way to work around the layout. We added a chaise  in front of the TV so the family could lounge and watch together, while enjoying the living space.

The Top Trends from High Point Market October 2017, featuring millennial pink and blush, statement hardware, photography, statement furnishings, bunching tables, coffee table sets

5 Interior Design Trends You’ll See Everywhere in 2018

The Trends You Need to See from High Point Market 2017

Last weekend sent our design team to High Point Market to hit the floors and search for the best pieces and trends for our interior design clients. See the favorites that you’ll be seeing everywhere in 2018…

1. WE’RE BLUSHING

It’s no secret that the color blush (aka millennial pink) has taken the world by storm this year. More than a trend, we love the way this color creates a relaxing statement. Our designers loved the way Arteriors showcased this beautiful color.

2. MAKE A STATEMENT

We are always on high-alert for the latest and greatest statement pieces. We love this piece by Noir — it’s certainly one way to make a punch in a space! It’s not a piece for everyone, but would find a perfect home in a playful office or game room.

3. GET THE CANDID

We love selecting photographic artwork for our interior design clients. There’s a hard line to straddle between stock art and fine art, but these pieces are true works we’d love to hang on a client’s wall.

4. HARDWARE, HARDWARE…

Hardware, hardware, hardware. There was no shortage of statement pieces showcased on case goods. We love those perfectly smart small details, which inspired us to design our own Starburst Pulls!

5. BUNCHING TABLES

Bunching tables were one of our teams favorite trends spotted over the weekend. We love the possibility that working with multiple pieces presents in design. They create a lot of flexibility for our clients due to they modular and moveable design. Every cool kid has one, XOXO… you know who.

Happy weekend!
