What can a homeowner incorporate to make their laundry room have the look and feel your space has?
A small and highly functional space, like a laundry room, should be fun! Go bold with your paint color and usage. Small spaces can handle the saturation well. Add wallpaper to create energy where you can. This paper is both playful and soothing, like a field of wildflowers. A big design takeaway from a space like this is to make it functional first. The built-ins are simple but functional, making the chore of laundry more pleasant. Open storage is a good way to keep the space tidier and make you less likely to stash the ironing pile away for perpetuity. Simple hanging bars on the wall mean you can handle laundry as you go.

What can a homeowner incorporate to make their bedroom have a look and feel your space has?
They love how wallpaper can not only add color, but texture and visual interest. Too often, people consider the guest bedroom as an afterthought and so it regularly becomes a place where people put all of their cast-off pieces that don’t work anywhere else. But they think it’s important to incorporate thoughtful design in the guest room just as you would any other room. Wallpaper, even if just on an accent wall, can be a simple way to add interest to a guest bedroom. It has a high impact but doesn’t have to break the bank.

How did you incorporate the builder’s Mediterranean Modern style in to your space?
To create a Mediterranean style, MD Design played with organic textures and a subdued natural color palette that spoke to the Mediterranean coastline. They pulled variations of cream in paint and tile to soften the space. They chose aged brass for our metal finishes throughout the spaces we designed. When paired with white oak and shades of cream, the brass accents really shine. The main focal point in the kitchen is the arched custom range hood that they paired with a bold black marble backsplash. This design is a nod to the Mediterranean style one might find in Santa Barbara.

MD Design loves to play with mixing wood and painted cabinetry in most of its projects. They wanted to keep everything pretty neutral for the showhouse, so they opted for a white oak finish and off-white cabinetry in the kitchen, butler’s pantry, and mudroom. They added some custom details on the island to create another level of interest and texture. They found that bringing natural wood tones to the space helps achieve a relaxed style that MD Design is known for. Adding another layer of color helps anchor the space.
