Adding sophistication and openness to a traditional Tuscan-inspired home can be difficult for any interior designer. But ML Interiors Group transformed this home's natural features into an elegant design that will last for years.

This house began as heavily traditional and Tuscan-inspired, and didn’t quite fit with the level of sophistication that the neighborhood possessed. With the help of ML Interiors Group, this house was converted into a home bursting with levity and openness, allowing a more natural flow of transitional spaces. Creating a balance between desire and expenses is a difficult challenge to overcome, but with careful planning and thoughtful consideration and prioritizing, it IS possible to utilize the budget in a way that is effective and highly impactful.
Without stripping the home of its natural features, white paint color was utilized to tone down the weight of the darker moldings and highlight the texture on the walls, whereas black paint was used in the office to emphasize the built-ins and subdue the brown of the wood flooring. By incorporating marble, brass, and gold accents throughout, the home is elevated to a level that is more in keeping with its ownership. Glass and mirror furnishings encourage a more expansive perspective of each space, lightening the mood with translucent colors and tasteful touches of pink and blue throughout.
Textured and shimmering fabrics bring additional flare to the design, with hints of character illustrated in the wall art and accessories chosen. The result of this project is a home with an updated level of sophistication and charm that will sustain for years to come.
