A Touch of Modern

We recently staged a stunning modern home for a favorite architect client of ours in Culver City, CA. Photography by Michael Wilkerson and Robin DeCapua.

We used a neutral palette to imbue this home with contemporary coastal style. Our favorite Meva International chairs never disappoint.

A Noguchi coffee table and a viscose rug with soft blue tones add sophistication.

A large DIY abstract in B&W fills a large gallery size wall. We create art for our clients’ homes when we want a specific look.

A root table is about the perfect piece anywhere, we think.

An Eames reproduction lounge chair and ottoman fill out a corner of the room by the large window.

A simple zen-like burnished brass disk is all that’s needed to accent this stunningly simple fireplace.

We love the way the home looks from the exterior, almost like a miniature doll house.

Our client’s daughter sourced all the light fixtures in the home. Oh, and she’s like only 11 years old and a budding designer.

These modern dining chairs were an amazing Facebook Marketplace find. Had to drive to a city we can’t even pronounce. Yes, we travel for the good stuff.

Organic shaped counter stools set off the simplest of styling in this modern kitchen.

A family room off the kitchen is styled with an Eames molded wood coffee table, modern gray sofa, cowhide and MCM-style armchair. Art is kept clean and simple.

The master bedroom is awash in calm neutrals. We love the hanging pendants on either side of the bed.

An upstairs room serves as a den and home office. We kept the feeling clean, light and modern.

Large B&W photography in simple black frames with wide mats are our fave way to accent walls in large modern architectural homes.

The back patio and pool area is perfect for sunning or entertaining.
