Client Design: Transitional French Farmhouse

When my clients moved into their new construction home several months ago they contacted me for help designing the entire great room from scratch. They had asked for a pretty, modern farmhouse with a blue and gray color scheme. I decided upon a timeless French farmhouse design updated with contemporary elements.

The living room is very large and called for an extra long sofa. I happened to find a customizable one that I could also cover in a performance fabric. The homeowner's knew they wanted a light sofa, and I knew that a family friendly fabric was a must with their three young children.

I balanced the traditional furniture with a contemporary coffee table. Neoclassical elements on the coffee table marry traditional and contemporary decor.

The light wood of the armchairs and end tables give this room the farmhouse look the family had asked for in the initial consultation.

A pop of pink!

In the next phase of this project the niche will hold a built-in bar!

These pendants are even more amazing in person! They are large and perfect for the extra tall ceilings. They are hung a little higher than normal due to the ceiling height. 

Every coffee drinker needs a coffee bar!

The breakfast room also has a mix of contemporary and rustic decor.

Contemporary Coastal Project

I absolutely love this project I recently completed! It's contemporary and coastal with a touch of glam. It's such a change from the homeowner's previous dark and traditional decor, but we were able to work with much of the existing furniture to turn her new home into a coastal retreat in the middle of the suburbs.

The foyer received a complete makeover and is a favorite area of the home. It feels so serene the moment you walk in the door.

The homeowner kept her existing sofa and chairs, and we just changed the tables and decor.

The kitchen also got an update with a new island vignette and lighter accessories for the counters.

The butler's pantry is all set up for the next cocktail party!

You can see more of my client projects on my brand new design website JenniferClarkInteriors.com that I just put the finishing touches on last night. I'll still be posting here about my own home, fashion, travel and whatever else strikes my fancy!
