Modern Warmth: A Thoughtfully Layered Living Space

What was once a blank, oversized white wall with no purpose is now the heart of this young family’s living space. Hill House designed custom built-ins that maximize both function and architectural presence, transforming the room into a warm and inviting hub. The wall-mounted drawers were carefully sized to provide ample storage while maintaining generous circulation space, and we incorporated integrated j-pull hardware that lifts up instead of pulling out, a smart detail that preserves every inch of depth. To draw the eye upward and make the room feel taller and more expansive, we introduced vertical fluted paneling, balanced on the opposite side by open shelving for vinyl records, books, and decorative pieces. The result is a thoughtful blend of form and function, creating a cozy, modern living space tailored to family life.

Wall-Mounted Smart Storage

Integrated J-Pulls allow for sleek, easy and functional design while preserving space in a narrow living area.

For the remainder of the space, we wanted to take advantage of the home's architectural choices, which lend themselves to the natural light pouring in through expansive sliding doors, highlighting the warm wood tones, soft upholstery, and curated styling. To complement the warm, natural tones, we chose organic textures and materials, such as the marble coffee table, lush greenery in large, fibercement planters, and a wool, textured rug. Strategically placing collected items from their life on proud display on the shelves created a curated yet effortless aesthetic, resulting in a well-dressed yet lived-in space.
