What Makes This Remodel Special?

This stunning Chicago home remodel is full of thoughtful details and luxurious touches. Here’s a quick overview of the design highlights:

  • Natural Materials: From Sandpiper wood flooring to Carrara Verna polished countertops, rich textures take the spotlight.
  • Warm, Inviting Palette: A cohesive color palette of warm tones flows seamlessly across the rooms.
  • Maximized Natural Light: The large window in the living room invites sunlight to brighten and enliven the open-concept spaces.
  • Statement Pieces: The stone fireplace with its long, rustic wooden mantel and Fond Deco tile in the entryway create focal points that draw the eye and spark conversation.
  • Functional Elegance: Expertly designed storage solutions and durable yet elegant finishes ensure every space is as practical as it is beautiful.

This is a project where every element contributes to a home filled with warmth, personality, and visual appeal.

A Warm Welcome in the Entryway

The entryway sets the tone for the home, blending practicality with a touch of artistry. A built-in cabinet sitting area adds functional storage while providing a cozy nook to sit and take your shoes off. The 8×8 Fond Deco statement tiles inject an unexpected pop of color, instantly drawing visitors in with their energy and charm.

The Open-Concept Living Space

The living room showcases the power of open-concept design. By connecting the living room and dining area seamlessly, the space feels expansive and airy—perfect for hosting guests or spending quality time with family. Warm Sandpiper wood flooring flows throughout, grounding the space in natural tones and textures.

A large picture window floods the space with sunlight, highlighting key features like the show-stopping stone fireplace. Topped with a long wooden mantel, the fireplace brings texture and visual weight to the room, creating a stunning core element while maintaining a cozy ambiance.

Elegance in Every Detail

Every great home starts with a kitchen, and this remodel delivers on both functionality and visual allure. At the heart of the design are durable yet elegant 3cm polished Carrara Verna countertops, forming a sleek yet inviting workspace. The elegant Zellige Hexa gloss white backsplash adds just the right amount of dimension and texture, creating a timeless look that catches the light beautifully.

Purposeful Fixtures for Your Kitchen Remodel

A standout feature in the kitchen is the Delta Trinsic Pull-Down Faucet in champagne bronze, a statement-making piece that combines flawless design with everyday practicality. Paired with cabinetry that provides ample storage, this kitchen ensures that every item has its place, without compromising on style.

The open layout also makes this space ideal for cooking and entertaining, with easy flow between the kitchen and dining area.

Charming Powder Room & Compact Luxury

The powder room may be small in scale, but it’s big in style. Echoing materials from the kitchen, the Carrara Verna polished countertop is paired with a 22.3 x 26″ gold oval mirror, adding a luxe, reflective touch. The walls are adorned with soft Maiolica Tender Gray Matte 8×8 tiles, bringing subtle sophistication to the space.

The thoughtful detailing extends to fixtures, with Delta champagne bronze holders, which add both cohesion and an element of understated elegance. It’s a space that proves even the smallest rooms can make a big impression.
