The Challenge: We asked two designers to create spaces featuring quality wood furnishings from Signature Fine Furniture.
Stephanie’s Coastal Inspired Bedroom
When creating this bedroom design concept, I was inspired by the feel of beach house living and by the colors of sea glass you might find while walking along the shoreline. This coastal inspired look us carefully curated to bring those calming blues and greys into the space. See full details and source information here.
Marc’s Warm & Welcoming Family Room
A family room should be comfortable and fun, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish! The key to creating the perfect family room is to balance style and function and infuse a touch of whimsy for a truly personalized space. See full details and source information here.
