After 10 years , this condo space needed an update ! While the overall layout would remain the same , the goal was to create three distinct zones within the main living space : dining , kitchen and family room . The final space needed to feel like a home that they could entertain in . The homeowner also wanted to convert a third bedroom into a home office .
On the top of the homeowner ’ s wish list was a black kitchen . This darker color scheme is the key element through-out the space and allows for more creativity then the more common white and gray color palettes .
To stay within budget , they used existing pieces where possible including the doors and bathroom vanities . Keeping the structural layout the same was also a budget friendly decision . This allowed room in the budget to splurge on a stunning yet sophisticated Versace wallpaper in the front hallway and a beautiful LED chandelier in the dining area that matched the tube lights over the waterfall island .
Creating a unique space can be tricky . It is important to work with a builder and designer you can trust . The homeowner ’ s wish list is the starting point of the design process but then you need to trust your builder / designer to execute that vision ! - Heavy Duty Homes , www . heavydutyhomes . com
