About This Design

Interior Design: Paul Miller

Our clients purchased this house site unseen during the 2020 pandemic and chose MakeNest to create their design while riding out the shutdown from across the country. It was an unusual circumstance, being the eyes and ears and the feet on the ground, but we used all the tools in our toolbox to make sure our vision could be as clear as possible, despite the newness of sending presentation sample packets via UPS and discussing ideas through computer screens.

For this beautiful couple and their small brood of youngsters, we understood that the desired outcome was a polished, modern home that could withstand the realities of active lifestyles. As always, we sourced our preferred makers for quality, American-made heirloom pieces.

In the living and dining rooms, we chose a fresh, light palette with rich yellows, offset by striking black and near-white textures. The furnishings provide beautiful, clean silhouettes and modern finishes. In the family room, a blue and green palette offers a relaxing and cheerful backdrop to everyday living. Reclaimed wood pieces further our sustainability mission and add warmth and character. Our art selections throughout create depth and interest, weaving more complexities into the color palette and sparking the imagination through dreamy landscapes and colorful abstracts alike.

This project tackled even the small details that truly update a home, such as changing out door hinges and knobs and replacing dated light fixtures with crisp and stylish new ones. The result is a home that is stunning, comfortable, and welcoming.
