About This Design

Warm Transitional

White and cream walls with shiplap wainscoting, warm oak millwork, and black iron accents form a consistent material language throughout. Every room shares the same neutral foundation while each gets one distinct moment: a wood beam ceiling, a fluted vanity, or a gallery wall.

Design Tip

In a large open-plan living room, place two sofas facing each other instead of one sofa facing a TV. A gallery wall becomes the focal point, keeping the room a sitting room. Match Roman shades across all windows to unify the layout.
