#PULPATHOME: Mixing Modern & Eclectic with Pulp Home

We have been loving receiving emails from customers sharing their Pulp Home wares & sharing how they live using #PulpAtHome… We love how this customer mixed one of our modern Star Objet Sculptures and a collection of our Asian Calligraphy Brushes in a gorgeous container, with red pops of color and ethnic art. Just a gorgeous little vignette!

Remember, if you share your Pulp pieces using hashtag #PulpAtHome, email us to receive 15% off your next Pulp Home purchase! See details here: #PulpAtHome

Project Process: #UniversityHeights Lighting Install

Popping in with another Pulp Design Studios project process post! This time, we wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the installation of Pulp Home’s Caviar Cluster Chandelier in our #UniversityHeights client’s bedroom. 

As you can see, we took a decidedly modern direction and it’s amazing to see the difference that just a switch of lighting can bring. While the project is only in its initial phase and more will be happening with furnishings and finishes, this gives you a good indication of the design launch point and we can’t wait to reveal the full transformation once complete!

Pulp Sourcebook: #HipMenagerie Guest Bedroom

Interior Design by Pulp Design Studios

 

In today’s Sourcebook series entry, we’re highlighting our #HipMenagerie Guest Bedroom. The Guest Room is the perfect place to make bold choices and be fearless! With the Pulp Design Studios principal’s background in hospitality and hotel design, the design team made dynamic choices that make for an exciting stay for any guest.

With only one pop of color in this space, Pulp Design Studios turned a neutral palette into an exciting and stylish space using contrast, pattern, and form. Bold patterns, contrasting colors, and unique accessories all come together to create a menagerie of modern style that Pulp’s client could be happy to host in. Custom casegoods, bed, and bedding designed by Pulp Design Studios make for a unique and interesting look that is exclusive to the Pulp client. In the end, we conceived a creative, quality design and that met the client’s needs stylishly and functionally.

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 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 it’s own beauty, and your style.

 

New Pulp Home Product: Asian Brush Collection

The Pulp Design Studios team, with an extensive background in hospitality design, designed Howard Wang’s China Grill in Southlake, Texas. As part of the design scheme, the Pulp team utilized a vast display of traditional Asian calligraphy brushes, backed with a turquoise grasscloth wall covering, to create a modern and affordable art installation that helped to set the mood and tone for the space, along with adding layers and texture for visual interest.

We are now thrilled to be able to offer a new collection of these calligraphy brushes at Pulp Home! Hung in groupings of three, five, seven, or more, they make for stunning artistic displays rooted in history while making a most modern statement.

 

Pulp Sourcebook: #ElegantRenovation Master Bedroom

Interior Design by Pulp Design Studios

 

Today we’re sharing the Master Bedroom from our #ElegantRenovation project as part of our Sourcebook series. We transformed this Master Bedroom into a serene and elegant Master Suite, delivering a quality design and end-product that met the client’s needs stylishly, functionally, and within budget.

Pulp Design Studios designed every piece of furniture in this Master Suite and tailored it to our client’s style. The modern wing back bed’s sleek shape adds a sexy touch, while the cane-front case goods maintain classic sentiment. Custom drapery treatments and upholstered Admiral chairs add a high-contrast and dynamic feel, while offering a sense of comfort and style. While custom can be luxe, it creates a singular style rooted in quality and individuality. (And Pulp clients get special pricing on custom goods and never have to pay full retail on our custom pieces.) With the stylish finishes, and exquisite accessories, this space delivers on timelessness with a modern edge.

Pulp Sourcebook: #CuratedComfort Nursery

#CuratedComfort Nursery

Interior Design by Pulp Design Studios

 

In today’s Sourcebook, we’re sharing the nursery from our Curated Comfort project. We took on a fashion-forward business owner as our client in Dallas, Texas. Due to the nature of their business and the fact that she and her husband were expecting their first child, this client’s residence had to be completed both with the utmost of style and in a hurry… No small feat! Keeping those goals in mind, we adapted our services to fit the needs of our client in order to create the sophisticated, comfortable, casual look they wanted. We played with pattern and nothing was matchy-matchy and, in the end, creatively cultivated an amazing space that reflected their individuality.

Pulp Sourcebook: Colorful Abode Living Room

Pulp Sourcebook Colorful Abode

Interior Design by Pulp Design Studios

 

We’re back with another installment in our Pulp Sourcebook series! This space is an oldie but a goodie – and we get lots of inquiries so we thought we’d share some insight.

This client had a major obsession with Jonathan Adler, so we used many of his pieces in the design scheme to achieve a look that reflected the client’s inspiration. The living room presented a challenge with its awkward layout so we created symmetry through the placement of the furnishings and the Chariklia Zarris’ Modern Symmetry prints above the midcentury sofa. And, using color strategically, we created a space that is as colorful as it is serene and sophisticated.

Blown Away by Bernhardt

It’s been two weeks since we returned from High Point Market, but we are still reeling from the warm welcome we received from Bernhardt. We more than appreciate them bringing the Pulp team to High Point to tour their showroom, but what we really took away from our trip was what we gained by being reintroduced to this amazing line…

First, see what we’re talking about for yourself:

The first thing that struck us was the aestetic. Bernhardt was established in 1889 and is built on a strong tradition of quality & style, but they’ve managed to modernize their line for today, while still holding on to their signature timelessness. It’s a genius blend of today, yesterday, & tomorrow. Honestly, scroll back up through those images… Just stunning.

At closer look, you notice the quality and thoughtful design details. 4,000 hand-hammered nail heads on one piece, intricate inlay, exquisite drawer closures, drop-down drawer fronts for entertainment media…. all details that have the end-user in mind. These details are so important to us as designers, because we know we’re bringing more than just beauty to our clients.

So, we’ve got the details and the style of a high-end luxury brand… you think the prices will be outrageous, yes? You wouldn’t believe it. One of our mottos at Pulp Design Studios is that Pulp brings value to the luxury market, and Bernhardt couldn’t align more perfectly with our company’s values with their price points. They are so affordable for our clients that we found ourselves ashamed for not using them more often! We are still in shock and awe.

Actually, we’ve presented close to 15 of Bernhardt’s pieces for our projects in the mere two weeks we’ve been back in the office since visiting the showroom.

And, almost as memorable as their furniture were the people. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners of Bernhardt, which is still a family business. We also spent a few hours with Heather Eidenmiller – Director of Brand Development,  Ron Fiore – Creative Director, and Stephanie Lowder – PR Specialist. They were so incredibly lovely and gave us the royal treatment. It was amazing to hear the thought process behind the designs and experience the thoughtfulness of the individuals behind the company’s success… (not to mention having a few great laughs together). It was a great treat and one of the most meaningful experiences at High Point, to date.

We not only came back feeling inspired, but we’ve come back with some amazing design tools that will benefit our clients and bring value to our business…. Just amazing. Designers, take note.

Really and truly…. Thank you, Bernhardt!

Work In Progress: Designing A Fabulous Entry

If you’re following Pulp on Instagram, you’ve seen the progress of our client’s Entry over the past couple of months (Truthfully, you can find us on Instagram daily! It’s an easy share when we don’t have the time to blog).

It’s exciting to see a design go from paper, to mock-up, to installation… See how this entry has progressed, so far:

Our next step, is to work in a little finesse and add the furnishings, art, and accessories. But, for now, with just a little paint and some new lighting we’ve turned a beige Foyer into and an exciting Entry that will be sure to spark the conversation of our client’s guests and set the tone for the rest of the home that Pulp Design Studios is designing… Stay tuned!

Fabulous, yes?!?
