chestnut residence
perfect potential A young and flourishing family seeks to design their new Cleveland-suburban home from the ground up. They brought on designer, Linda, to select exterior details and plan out the entire main level—ensuring a cohesive interior that would blend seamlessly with the architecture.
Linda approached the client’s old-school taste by selecting a timeless mix of materials and furnishings—marrying a white, black and chrome palette throughout the home for a classic, simplistic look.
The client's family-oriented lifestyle inspired the design approach throughout the entire home. In the kitchen, a large custom butcher block island is the centerpiece for daily conversation and meal making. Custom cabinetry allows for easy access to serveware and clean organization for the kiddos. Wide glass pendants and leather bar stools yield a warm touch.
Renovation included kitchen, dining room, family room, powder room and exterior details.
The family room reflects a family-friendly palette of materials. Its symmetrical layout complements the rest of the home, with cozy sofas to occupy the space for movie nights or gatherings. The floor-to-ceiling mantle brings the perfect amount of contrast— the neutral colors allow for moments of personality within the details—silhouette portraits, blanket hooks, decorative pillows and potted plants. The space is livable chic.
