Before: Gray and Brown Kitchen

Gray walls and dark brown cabinets added to the kitchen's closed in vibe, and the small island left a lot of practical floor space unused.

Before: Foyer With Boxes

Narrow doorways and low ceilings meant rooms felt closed off from each other and dark.

Neutral Contemporary Foyer and Living Room

The passageway from the foyer into the living room was widened and the living space's color palette softened. Now light grays, purples, and whites make rooms light and welcoming. A few pops of bold color provide welcome accent.

Hall Table With Blue Art

Peruri Design Company raised ceilings, widened passageways, and introduced a softer, more refined palette to usher in light and enhance flow.

White Contemporary Living Room With Gray Sofa

The new raised ceiling makes a powerful impression in the living room. Custom furnishings match the stately weight of exposed beams and the marble fireplace. A stained glass sliding door hides a beautiful home office.

Before: Living Room and French Doors

A small room connected to the living room, but as a home office it was difficult as glass French doors provided zero privacy.

Gray and Green Home Office With Stained Glass Door

A small study off the living room is one of Peruri Design Company's most distinctive spaces. Shared by both homeowners as a work space, it was important that the room be able to be closed off without losing natural light. The designers partnered with Oakland-based glass artist Theodore Ellison to create a bespoke stained glass door that filters through sunlight and provides privacy. The sliding track is hidden in the floor, eliminating all visible hardware.

Blue Eclectic Bathroom With Curvy Mirror

Peruri Design company's vision with the rooms was to create an emotional experience—one that would feel grounded and refined, with thoughtful details and interesting shapes and layers. Graphic tile and sculptural lighting and a mirror fill this bathroom with intrigue.

Before: Dining Room With Chandelier

Old-fashioned fixtures and boring wall colors made this dining room dark and uninviting.

White Dining Room With Blue Wine Refrigerator

Statement lighting, such as the sculptural chandelier above the dining table, is an artful focal point. Just off the dining room, designers gracefully called attention to a wine refrigerator by giving it blue trim.

Before: Bedroom With Red Linens

Tan walls and standard, blocky furniture did nothing to elevate the design of this bedroom.

Gray Contemporary Bedroom With Black Bed

A black bed commands attention in the bedroom, a gentle visual anchor amidst pale gray walls. Glass doors open up to create a seamless transition out to the pool and patio.

Before: Bathroom With Tall Cabinet

In the bathroom, too dark wood cabinets and a low ceiling hampered any flow of natural light.

Gray Primary Bathroom With Black Stool

Designers wanted to elevate the everyday experience and did so by creating spaces that are quietly elegant, yet practical. Here, a dressing table gets a sculptural stool in bold black and light purple. The vanity mirror reflects the stunning stained glass window next to the tub.

Before: Bathroom With Red Rug

Drab tile and nondescript features turned the primary bathroom into a bland, boring space.

Neutral Contemporary Bathroom With Black Stool

Marble not only makes up the beautiful countertops in this bathroom, but Peruri Design Company used it to line the cabinets' interior as well.

Before: Yellow Bathroom With Suitcases

Instead of having a graceful flow, spaces in the primary bathroom were chopped up with partial walls.

Soaking Tub and Stained Glass Window

Tactile finishes, classic silhouettes, and a jewel-toned palette evoke quiet luxury. In the bathroom, a beautiful stained glass window filters in natural light.

Before: Gray Family Room

The family room tried to do too much, accommodating a tv, extra seating for entertaining, and a small dining table.

Blue Eclectic Bedroom With Secret Nook

Peruri Design Company prides themselves on storytelling through design and there's certainly a magical story at work in this bedroom. A deep blue accent wall sets a mysterious mood behind the bed. Open the tiny door beside the bed to reveal a secret wonderland where green carpet and murals evoke a misty fairytale glen.

Contemporary Mudroom With Arched Doors

Caned cabinet doors with pretty arches lighten the look of floor-to-ceiling built-in storage in the home's new mudroom. Peruri Design Company also incorporated open shelving and a bench for even more airiness.
