Taking a closer look at our Coachella Valley project – a great example of how we can utilize shape, material and color to establish flow between separate spaces in one home.
A Note On Flow From Barbara Hyde Evans:
If you have ever been in a home where every room had a very different color scheme and/or every room had a decidedly different style then you would notice it can be quite jarring to walk through. The energy of the home might feel unsettled and hard to relax in. This is why we talk about flow - it is an essential element of good design that helps an environment to feel settled, peaceful and confident. It should reflect your style and what makes you feel the most at home.
You have heard about "flow" in referring to a homes interior: you want your home to have good flow from outside to in, you want good flow between rooms, etc. Let us help you understand what it is and some ways you might accomplish it.
And take note, good flow is not seen but felt - it does not mean every room looks the same.
Mid-century in Coachella Valley
Beginning in the bedroom of our Coachella Valley project, a vibrant teal accent wall is featured with cool blue accents, walnut furnishings and distinctly mid-century radial shapes characterize the space.
While in the dining room, walnut furnishings, a cool white dining table and radial burst chandelier with accents of green and teal echo color, shape and material elements found in the bedroom. The overall effect feels cohesive and dynamic instead of redundant.
Can you spot the distinctive midcentury elements that play across this project’s design? Here in the kitchen, we observe several details that resonate in shape as well as color. Notable bright teal accents liven the space and add youthful dimension.
As a result of the consistent yet subtle use of these special details, the final effect is an environment that feels grounded in its design and clean.
