Living, Dining & Entryway - Oak Park
Apartment living can feel oh so luxurious when you have a clear vision and work to optimize small spaces.
Focused color, careful proportion and modern style combine to make this Oak Park apartment feel like a sophisticated dream.
The living room boasts stunning views but limited space.
Working with a 9.5' x 10' area, we chose beautiful, proportioned pieces that provide elegance and comfort.
This client loves to entertain, and opted to make the larger of the living and dining rooms dedicated to formal dining for eight, with more seating at the kitchen island.
The entryway boldly announces the style of the apartment, with ginkgo leaves as an homage to her hometown of Oak Park, and the mountains to her love of skiing and the outdoors.
This client had always wanted black walls, so we painted specific panels in the entryway and dining space to provide depth and interest, drama and warmth.
From every angle, the combination of black, ivory and caramel blend together for a sense of calm and sophistication.

HALLWAY BATHROOM - OAK PARK

AFTER: Black and white, crisp and clean, completely new. The only surviving elements were the gorgeous stained glass windows.
AFTER: Minimal yet elegant and modern. Appropriate for family and guests.
AFTER: With four lighting options and heated floors, it's the perfect bathroom for both morning routine and evening relaxation.
