We can state with a matter of fact that we will never stop loving marble — especially in all those unique places around a space. Determined to paint luxury on every inch of the spaces we design for our interior design clients, we only want to see (and design) more marble clad hoods. There is no part of the home that should be left untouched by quality and beautiful material. A few of our favorite kitchens using this eye-catching trend…

Good interior design can have a huge impact on a client’s lifestyle and wellbeing. Thoughtful selections result in more than just a beautiful space– the right colors and design can make overall improvements in lifestyle and wellbeing.

The Pulp Edit: September 2017

We’re kicking off the beginning of Fall with plenty of patterns, perfectly unique details and color. Our top ten favorite interior design trends and materials of September 2017…

This cement tile from LiLi is graphic, bold and all around stunning. Unique tile always adds that “wow” factor in a space that every client wants. We have been loving LiLi Tile for their dynamic selection– we’re always uncovering new favorites that inspire a flood of new design ideas.

Can you say Final 15 with a flair for the unexpected? These dice boxes are the perfect blend of a well-styled accessory with personality. There is no day that we aren’t integrating interesting pieces like this into our interior design clients‘ projects. We love those little details that make you do a double take.

We spotted this to-die-for bench in the September/October 2017 issue of Veranda. Photographed by Max Kim-Bee and selected by Thomas Pheasant, we love the chic and glamorous feel of this custom bench.

We love the urban garden feel that these floor-to-ceiling windows create in this room featured in the September 2017 issue of House Beautiful.

It’s no secret that we love a good wallcovering. The Feather Zebra wallcovering by Schumacher is soft, but still captivating and would create so much interest in a space.

We are loving this vibrant wallcovering by Anna Redmond. It’s all about pattern play when it comes to finding that perfect print to elevate a client’s space.

Sometimes a room just needs a punch of pop art. This pillow is fun and funky and adds that extra touch of personality. Spotted in the September 2017 issue of Better Homes & Gardens, this hip pillow was photographed by Nathan Kirkman.

Flipping through the latest issue of Better Homes & Gardens, this intriguing piece of art jumped out. We love selecting pieces like this that instantly captivate everyone’s eyes. This space was photographed by David Land.

One trend that will always make our favorites list is bold use of classic materials all over a space. This marble table photographed by Bjorn Wallander in the September 2017 issue of House Beautiful is every bit luxurious as it is functional.

Last, but certainly not least, is one of our all-time favorite wallcoverings. We recently installed this beauty in our Dallas Showhouse space and it is nothing but stunning. Bridget Beari knows how to do it…

With so many stunning issues hitting the shelves this month, we can’t help but share these ten amazing trends. What are you loving this month?

We love getting to show off our interior design clients‘ spaces throughout the entire design process- from initial site visits to the final lust-worthy space. Behind the dreamy schemes and furnishing installs are countless hours spent imagining unique designs with flair and hours on the phone tracking and completing orders. For our design friends and clients, we are sharing a peek into the timeline behind luxury interior design…

Weeks of design work always pays off when we get to leave our clients with exactly the space they always hoped to have. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Pulp in Progress: A Hip Family Home with a Flair

August 24, 2017Entertaining + Home Living, Pulp Design Workflair for the unexpected, interior design, modern, pulp in progressBeth and Carolina

As part of our Three-Step Design Process, we are taking you on a tour through projects that are currently in progress. It will be a fun look into who we’re working with, what made them want to hire a designer and how we are working with our clients to help solve some key design challenges that will improve their daily experience. Plus, you’ll get a glimpse at some of our designs before they’re completed!

Step One: Consultation + Intake

Q: WHO IS THE CLIENT AND WHAT IS THEIR SCOPE OF WORK?

After purchasing their soon-to-be dream home, a creative and well-traveled family of four came to Pulp to take a blank canvas and fill it with flair. Our clients are busy-professionals with two young children who love imaginative play and family time. This whole-home project came to us as a completely clear and unfinished space ready to be elevated and transformed with a Pulp twist.

Q: WHY DID THE CLIENT DECIDE TO HIRE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER RATHER THAN TAKING THE PROJECT ON THEMSELVES?

This modern house is the first home our clients have owned and they wanted to be proud of every space everyday. Looking to create a space that would function in the everyday, withstand a busy family with young kids and a dog and be just as unique as it is refined and sophisticated, our clients came to us to take their dreams and turn them into reality. They knew they needed professionals who designed with an edge to turn their new space into a lasting family retreat.

Step Two: The Design Phase

Here’s where we took everything we learned from our client at our consultation and intake process and put all that information and our creativity to work for our clients. We started really getting to know our client and their kids, their vision of their home and how they tend to “do life” in each room. Then we started by gathering inspiration from our client in the form of a Pinterest board and began to collaborate on the design between our offices.

Q: WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NEW DESIGN?

Through our Splendid Living approach, we learned that our clients are drawn to clean and modern design, but also love comfortable and vintage elements. In addition to wanting kid-friendly spaces that would inspire creative play and free imagination, our clients wanted a fresh space infused with unique and interesting furnishings and a stunning master retreat. Traditional was a word we ruled out day one as we approached the design inspired by our clients’ dynamic personalities and styles.

Q: WHAT WAS A UNIQUE DESIGN CHALLENGE AND HOW IS PULP SOLVING THE PROBLEM?

One of our clients’ must-haves was a guest room that doubled as a playroom and family space. Facing spacial constraints and a big dream, we had to imagine a way to make the room playful but sophisticated. Creating a dual-function room with size limitations can be challenging, but we employed our own imaginations to select truly unique furnishings appropriate for kid time and guests.

Step Three: Installation + Execution

This stunning home has been coming along beautifully. Each installation leaves us that much more excited to show off the completed home. Check out our Instagram for more photos and details on this installation.
