Lakeside Update

This project gave Michele a significant challenge stemming from limited dimensions and the presence of the red brick fireplace. The constrained width posed difficulties in effectively planning and arranging the precise selections required for the space. My client also loves to host so making sure this space could also fit as much seating as possible was a challenge. We also had to incorporate their existing stadium seating into a modern and contemporary curated design.

Location: Dallas, TX

Designer Credits: Michele Simpson

Project Overview:

In addressing the design challenges, Michele employed a curative design that was tailored to the available dimensions. She chose to elevate the overall aesthetic appeal by transforming the red brick fireplace through the application of white paint, introducing a more contemporary and updated appearance.

Meeting the client’s requirements for hosting required additional seating space in the family room. This was accomplished by incorporating two oversized swivel chairs, floor cushions, a versatile tete-a-tete suitable for both the living room and family room, and additional counter stools facing the family room. It was imperative to strike a harmonious balance between functionality and aesthetics in this room to ensure the seamless integration of this space with the enhancements and designs in the adjacent areas.
