McLean, VA
Virginia Ave.
In McLean, VA, we skillfully blended traditional charm with contemporary flair within a French Country-style home to create a timeless space that perfectly balances family life and frequent entertaining.
The heart of the Virginia Avenue project was to harmonize the husband’s traditional tastes with the wife’s desire for a lighter, more contemporary aesthetic.
This balancing act guided our entire design approach, ensuring the home not only met but exceeded both expectations. We carefully selected design elements that would bridge these two styles, creating an elegant, cohesive environment that feels both updated and timeless.
Functionality was key in this redesign, particularly to accommodate the family's active social life. We reimagined the living spaces to enhance flow and functionality, making them ideal for hosting gatherings. The incorporation of sophisticated classic furniture alongside modern, vibrant textiles helped brighten and invigorate the space, making each room inviting and conducive to both large parties and intimate family moments.
A custom Oushak rug and organic drapery fabrics played pivotal roles in setting the color palette and defining the space’s aesthetic. These elements introduced organic shapes and textures that tied the various rooms together while adding a fresh, airy feel to the home.
Our design choices aimed to create a setting that fosters connection and relaxation, reflecting the client’s desire for a home that offers both communal engagement and personal retreat.
The thoughtful integration of colors, materials, and functional design ensures that the home is not just a visually appealing space, but also one that emotionally resonates with tranquility and comfort, inviting moments of connection and quiet reflection.
