Design Approach
The client envisioned a space with a quiet, vintage soul—one that could reflect their love of classic European design, botanical motifs, and sentimental artwork. We were tasked with creating a refined yet relaxed family room and dining nook that would blend beautifully with the home’s existing modern kitchen—without sacrificing warmth or personality.
We began by building a cohesive palette rooted in earthy greens, soft oatmeals, and warm wood tones, then introduced custom paintwork and botanical wallpaper to bring depth. The star of the space is a curated gallery wall, showcasing cherished art from the client’s personal collection. We grounded the space with kid-safe, rounded-edge furniture, rich textures, and balanced proportions that feel elevated yet livable.

“Working with Júlia was an absolute pleasure. She understood my vision from the very first conversation and brought it to life with such grace and attention to detail. Every choice—from the color palette to the botanical accents — felt personal and intentional. The result is a home that feels both timeless and truly ‘me.’ I couldn’t be happier.”
