Flowing Floor Plan

Stepping inside the home becomes an ethereal experience with walls, floors and furniture washed in white. Where the crisp hue makes the space feel open and airy, dark wooden accents offer rich contrast and ground the setting.

Living Room With Tropical Flair

In the living room, vibrant orange accents pair with floral patterns and plants to give the contemporary space a tropical twist. A woven rug below adds rich texture to the smooth floors and separates the living room from the adjacent areas.
