Two-Day Transformation: Coastal + Traditional (with Functional Flow!)

our two day transformation projects are the only design projects that we do as a complete surprise we meet with the clients so we can get a sense for their style we get designing they leave for two days and our team takes over their space and they come home to an all-new room [Music] we have another two day transformation for you today these are so fun it's really gratifying to see the quick turnaround because so many of our projects take years to complete and this one our client moved into a pretty move-in-ready home but the furniture layout and the comfort it just wasn't working for their family's lifestyle hi I'm Renee and this space is the dining room and a TV room family room area where we spend 90% of our time the dining and living room opened up to each other so we wanted to design them to flow really nicely function is very important we have a family of five and we have a lot of people over at our house so for us the flow going from one room to the next is really important the problem that I had is that we bought oversized furniture that caused the walkways to become pretty narrow originally they had their table with two benches and the benches just weren't working for them I really want to have a full set of chairs with a nice comfortable back because we sit for hours playing cards or play board games my style is more modern with a mix of traditional more comfort and that's a big thing for me is to feel relaxed and comfortable in your space I love studio buguese style because it's very clean they do a really good mix with all the materials that they have they do them good mix between neutrals and adding color the request was a lot of neutrals durability and our client spends a lot of time in Huntington Beach and so they wanted some coastal inspiration and throughout I trust them I've seen some good stuff so I still a little nervous the style of the home is quite traditional and we wanted to honor the style of the home but clean it up a bit [Music] the original dining room furniture had pattern end chairs and there's a lot going on with the three pendants so we did woven chairs at the head of the table and I love you that that dark stripe coordinates with the side chairs and that inky fabric with wood tapered legs and then instead of three pendants we scaled down to one large one and I love that it's a traditional shape with a streamlined and feel get a lot of wall space to work with in this kitchen nook which we usually don't in these spaces so it was fun to play with something new instead of doing a traditional buffet with two lamps we opted for a tall cabinet with glass fronts it was really important to our client to have two baskets so that they could put workout clothes in and grab and go so we incorporated those at the bottom and then styled it with all sorts of beautiful things inside typically you would think that for space plan you've Center the cabinet on the wall but in order to allow for a good floor on the dining table we need it to push it into the corner a little bit which left us some room on the left-hand side so we've decided to make something special of it by wiring for light and then stacking two pieces of artwork below with bench [Music] the dining space opens up to the living room and the request was Comfort comfort and more comfort so we went with a sectional originally they had two sofas facing each other and I think that the main purpose of this room was to watch TV so it was super awkward to kind of have to turn your body to the side so we decided to reorient this space we did an l-shaped sectional and then we paired the two chairs off to the side we used a round coffee table in this woven texture and still feel very comfortable putting your feet up we started the foundation with a very neutral soft rug I love the tassel detail on the ends but probably the most important decision we made in this space was the fabric for the sectional the sectionals from Magee and coat we used a Krypton Krypton is a highly durable fabric that we use in all of our family homes and then we layered these really great textiles we have smooth this rust paired with blue some saturation and lightness working together beautifully and the home feels coastal but not beachy we went with these leather and metal chairs that are some of our favorites they have this awesome recline padded seats they're so cozy and then behind them we had a lot of wall space to work with so instead of just one big thing we decided to do four large pieces here one of my favorite details in the space is the black lamp in the corner I think that if you took that out the space would feel very nice but it needed to be taken to the next level with a modern accent and I think that that hit of black the hint of funkiness is just what the space needed okay are you ready I'm nervous I'll let you leave the way I couldn't you know where we're going beautiful Oh looks amazing you guys it feels so good I think that the space plan change really opened it up actually even though we put a big sectional in here you need to sit on it it's very comfortable I want to comfort yes it's good and the long cushions on it make it so gushy yes but then I still like that if it holds its structure too seems like it's a good quality [Music] and then we decided that with this sectional in this shape that a round coffee table would be a good fit for the space than also great for you to put your feet up on it's like a seagrass material I love it [Music] you had this massive wall - till we felt like massive art would do the trick and I like that it kind of has this hazy effect and the torn edges it's like floating by the way they framed it yeah this is the nice tricky yeah it was chop the struggle yeah the big wall oh these look funny is they're super comfy oh yeah you guys definitely did comfortable but it looks good that's importantly balances both oh my gosh those chairs are amazing that's more more comfy seating for you guys to play games at the table those are beautiful the chandelier oh my gosh I love it this is so pretty you guys I think my kids are gonna be like I think they're just gonna be shell-shocked at birth [Music] so welcome how much thank you I know you're nervous but I hope you guys enjoy it thanks so much for following along don't forget that you can shop
