Nokomis Beach House Design by Carriage House Studio

Design by: Carriage House Studio

Need

Upgrade the existing Minneapolis home for college sweethearts who’ve kept all of their furnishings since their first apartment together. All of the spaces were in need of a refresh—specifically, one that could support fort building, slime, and nerf guns.

Solution

Selected furnishings and decor pieces that reflected the clients’ style and offered a more refined aesthetic while still accommodating the twins’ fun play time.

Highlights

Transitional style with pops of color and an emphasis on texture: linen, leather, stone, metal, wood. Our favorite parts of the project were the artwork—the clients’ grandfather, a doctor, contributed lots of cool, eclectic pieces he’d collected as payment from his patients.

A fireplace with art frames and a plant in a vase, chairs beside the window, and an indoor plant.

Two white chairs with floral pillows, and a flower vase.

Kitchen setting with a sink facing the window, white cabinets, and a coffee maker.

A orbital chair and a black study table with four frames above in a carpeted floor. — An orbital chair and a black study table with four frames above in a carpeted floor.
