Pulp Sourcebook: Edgy Executive Office

Shopping Guide, , , , , ,

Sourcebook - Edgy Executive OfficeInterior Design by Pulp Design Studios

The Pulp Design Team created a creative workspace for our client, an ad exec in one of the country’s leading advertising firms, with a goal of increasing creative productivity, showcasing their client’s style, and creating a mood and ambiance that is not typical of most high-rise offices.

The Pulp Design Team was fortunate enough to design a workplace with such an edgy color! Light in the workplace is tricky to work with. Let’s admit, those fluorescent lights aren’t doing anything for us. Picking the right color is the trick! Check out the amazing colors we pulled from Benjamin Moore and Farrow & Ball to create the same edgy vibe!

Whether you just love what we do and want to create it for yourself or you have a space that you’d love to get the ‘Pulp Treatment’, we hope that this series inspires you to live more beautifully.  And if you’d like to hire us (And, really…you should hire us!  wink. wink.) get in touch and tell us about your project!

 

Note: Color is in essence, reflections of light and one’s surroundings.  As a result, the color you see in our client’s space would certainly translate differently into your own.  If you are not working with a designer, play with paint samples on various walls in your own space to see if you get the effect you want.  We would also be glad to provide you with a consultation if that would be valuable.  We want your space to reflect its own beauty and your style.

Before and After: West Seattle Townhouse

Pulp Design Work, , ,

West Seattle - Pulp Design Studios

With a high/low approach for a couple wanting a design forward, yet livable, space that showcased their dynamic personalities, Pulp Design Studios designed this gorgeous jewel-box town home. Our married, working couple loves to entertain and needed a space that would meet their personal needs, as well as hold up to their pets.

Our team designed this dynamic concept for our homeowners that would give them lots of unique style elements, texture, and contrast. We furnished and spruced their space, working around just a couple of existing items and provided our clients with luxury items such as the bone inlay cocktail table, textural black croc wall covering, and hair on hide pillows. We offset some of these higher end items by adding in whimsical touches, like individual feathers framed in ikea frames. Unexpected touches, like the split face bookends and the teak chair in the shape of a hand add a quirky layer to the graphic edge we gave this space.

Watch the fun video tour we made of the space, with before and afters!

Interior Design by Pulp Design Studios

In today’s Sourcebook series entry, we are coming back to an old favorite of ours, as well as a fan favorite! The Modern Craftsman is such a timeless formal living space in one of our most-pinworthy homes.

A neutral living space allows for spectacularly bold accents, such as this gold Sunburst Mirror, to command attention. The asymmetrical chaise adds an unexpected touch that ties the room to the architecture. You can’t go wrong with adding white and gold accessories and, of course, what better way to make it cozier then with some soft throws.

Now lets talk about paint… Paint is a tricky thing to work with especially when you have sunlight and artificial light coming from all different angles. This beautiful, airy, tonal look was not created with ease. In order to have the house have one consistent color the Pulp Design Team had to paint different quadrants of the house in different shades of the paint. It was a meticulous process that we went through in order to achieve the clients goals for a soothing space!

Shop the Look - Queen Anne Craftsman

Interior Design by Pulp Design Studios

You may recognize this #QueenAnneCraftsman living room from our recent Behind the Scenes of an Installation post. Sorry we’re not sorry to be going back here again; we just can’t get enough of this fun project!

The best thing about the design of the #QueenAnneCraftsman living room is the mix of patterns and use of color; our Pulp Design team created a fun, happy room that doesn’t feel too youthful or loud. And while the design is timeless, we noticed that the colors were a little reminiscent of springtime…so we thought we would pass along some tips – straight from the source – to inject a little spring happiness into your own home.
