Inside an Unrecognizable Modern Home Transformation in Dallas

A Pulp Interior Design Project in Progress

As part of our Three-Step Design Process, we are taking you on a tour through projects that are currently in progress. We love getting to share an inside look at who we’re working with,  why they wanted to hire an interior designer and how we are working with our clients to create forever spaces that elevate the way they live.

Step One: Consultation + Intake

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

Our clients are a wonderful and creative family of three who decided to gut and renovation their existing home in Dallas. Both of our clients work in creative industries, so we helped them bring plenty of creative expression into their home.

They’ve lived in their current home for years and after looking to buy a new home and not finding one that felt right, they decided to take on a total renovation of their existing space. We designed everything down to the towels and soap dispensers for this project, starting with finishes during the reno, and rounding it out with an entire home of new furnishings.

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

Our clients explored the option of moving, but ultimately decided to go all out on their existing home. They knew they needed to bring on the experts from the beginning to get the home they were looking for, but couldn’t find. A project this scope requires an amazing team from the start to make the most of time and budget!

 

Step Two: The Design Phase

WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NEW DESIGN?

Our client loves Domino so the publication’s aesthetic served as huge inspiration for this project — think modern, eclectic with touches of bohemian and the Pulp flair. We wanted to create a really cool home for our clients, filled with distinct design elements that they could always love, regardless of what’s trending.

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

One of our clients’ must-haves was a sectional in the living room, which is all fun and games unless you’re working in a tight area. This home is small (but very mighty. Stylishly mighty we will add) so working a large piece of furniture in without making the space feel crammed was a challenge. But, we’re in the business of bringing all of our clients’ home wants and needs to reality, so we found the best possible sectional for the space and made it look amazing . You’ll just have to wait for the final reveal to see!

WHAT ARE THE CLIENTS MOST EXCITED ABOUT?

The entire renovation process was really exciting. Our clients loved getting to see each step come together throughout the process — their home is unrecognizable compared to the before photos! They’re so excited to have a space where they can spend time together, work and entertain that feels perfectly like them.

Step Three: Install + Execution

We can safely say that our clients’ home has been totally transformed, inside and out. This reveal is going to be a good one, but until then, we’ll give you a little taste of the space with a few install photos!

Stay tuned for the final reveal — it’ll be more than worth it! In the meantime, if you’re feeling inspired to finally get your forever home, let’s talk!
