“Sandra was absolutely terrific to work with! She listened to what I was trying to achieve and brought me beautiful options to choose from. She had endless patience with our changes (especially when it came to decorating my 15 year old daughter’s room) and captured exactly what we were trying to accomplish. Her timing was very quick and the work was done with extreme quality. Our house turned out more beautiful and we are loving it. It has been a great experience and I would highly recommend Sandra to others.”

*What an entrance*

A foyer sets the tone when you enter a home - you only have one chance to make a great first impression!

My client had a dated foyer that needed a refresh. The goal was to create an elegant, glamorous new look, a white-on-white elegance punctuated with metallic warmth.

We installed beautiful trim molding painted in an ultra bright white, which instantly gave the space a classic, custom feel. We sourced stunning gold sconces amping up the drama and luxury in the space.

Next, we layered in subtle gold accents and elegant textural fabrics and rugs in blue tones.

The newly refreshed, is the perfect setting to make a grand entrance! #foyergoals #interiordesign #entranceinspo #raleighmoderndesigner #couturehaus #moderfoyer #trim #trimmolding #whitefoyer #whiteinterior #durhammoderndesigner

* Progress Shot* When we embarked on this outdoor project, the goal was to create a permanent solution for shade and protection against the elements that would stand the test of time.

For the pergola, we decided to preserve and incorporate the original handsome stonework in the design while introducing modern touches like the sleek steel railing and the modern woodwork.
We wanted to design not just a pergola, but an inviting, cozy outdoor living space. We sourced weather-resistant modern outdoor lounge chairs, comfy cushions in green and blue patterns for the concrete bench, plush decorative pillows and a metal coffee table.
We aimed to strike a balance between durable materials and welcoming comfort. Swipe to see what we have planned for the space. Can’t wait to show you the finished space.

*Have we mentioned that we love pretty fabrics?*

Breathing new life into this dated kitchen was a fun challenge! The homeowners loved the layout but were ready for a fresh, modern update. Rather than a complete gut job, we streamlined the space with some strategic tweaks.
We painted the existing cabinetry a crisp white for a light, airy feel and added a standout navy blue island. This medium blue tone that we used in the island is a contemporary alternative to classic black and acts as the anchor in this bright, white kitchen.
Beyond cabinet colors, fabrics were the perfect opportunity to incorporate color. We designed custom roman shades and window treatments in colorful, patterned fabrics. For the kitchen stools, we selected a blue and white velvet fabric (with a stain repellent finish) and topped it with dining chairs in an orange quilted fabric. The homeowners now have a stylish, functional, and highly customized kitchen suited for years of memories ahead! p.s Don’t forget to look at our beautiful pendants… #moderninteriors #kitchendesign #kitchen #bluekitchenisland #colorfulpendants #colorfulwindowtreatments #colorfulromanshades #raleighmoderndesigner #couturehaus #durhammoderndesigner

*Ready to Play*

When designing this room, the homeowners requested a space that was simple and devoid of any visual clutter. Taking a minimalist approach, we focused on high-quality materials, sleek lines, and an understated color palette that lets the details shine.

We installed a stunning Rivets wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries in a neutral tone that adds subtle texture without dominating the space. A modern light fixture spotlights the pool table, where clean architectural details take center stage.

In lieu of bulky furniture, we designed a slim built-in bench along the window wall. It provides seating without encroaching on the open layout.
Mission accomplished: Clean-lined & timeless design! Photography: @catwilbornephotography

*From Plan to Reality*
At the beginning of this project the main goal was to add a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom to this home. The bedroom and bathroom were added in the upper part of house where the garage use to be. This addition made a terrace with private access to the pool possible. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors fully open to the terrace, bringing in light and seamlessly connecting to the outdoors.
We love how this spa-like retreat with beautiful views turned out. Don’t you love when great design and nature harmoniously come together? Swipe to see the rendering and the departure point.

*New Inspiration Unlocked*

There is so much inspiration in design while traveling the world. I am mesmerized by the traditional wood carving - the intricate patterns and shapes carved into frankincense wood boxes, doors, and more. The carving of stone is equally impressive, with complex geometric designs carved into marble and other stones at mosques and palaces. I am inspired to try incorporating some of these traditional patterns and techniques into modern designs.

Anyone else discovered hidden gems of inspiration while traveling this Holiday season? Happy Holidays! #design #travelinspiration #travelinspo

*Small changes make a difference*

Our clients wanted to refresh their foyer, so we devised some small updates that made a BIG difference.

First, we added trim molding throughout to elevate the plain white wall. Elegant sconces added the WOW factor to the space.

In terms of color, my client fell in love with the idea of a mid- tone blue front door as a juxtaposition to fresh white painted walls.

All in all, just a few strategic tweaks gave this entry a stylish facelift. It just goes to show you don’t need a total overhaul to give a space new life!

*Modern & Stylish*
This kitchen proves that smaller spaces can be big on style. We went for a fresh, modern look in this kitchen. We set the tone with glossy two-toned cabinets, sleek white up top and creamy beige on the bottom. We added a gorgeous Dekton countertop with a marble-look pattern that ties everything together beautifully.
We opened up the space by removing a heavy beam and adding a large window to let the natural light pour in and to enjoy the sea views. What do you all think - can small kitchens make a big statement?

*Gratitude*

Looking back at this year, I’m thankful for all the wonderful clients and meaningful projects we’ve had the chance to collaborate on.

This stunning home designed by the talented McAlpine House and perfectly executed by Rufty Homes is one of the projects we have had the pleasure to work on. We can’t wait to show you what we have planned for it: 6 fabulous outdoor spaces, cozy living areas, a playroom with a climbing wall and monkey bars are among some of my favorites features.

Follow along as we give you a glimpse into our favorite spaces.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us!

*Foyer Refresh*

We recently gave this foyer a stunning makeover that has truly transformed the space.

First things first, we added beautiful molding that instantly added a touch of elegance and sophistication. The intricate details and clean lines create a timeless look that we absolutely adore.

Next, we opted for a crisp white paint color that brightens up the entire area and gives it a fresh, airy feel. The white walls serve as a perfect canvas for showcasing our client’s favorite artwork.

But wait, there's more! We decided to go all out and install a dramatic wall sconce that truly steals the show. This eye-catching piece not only provides a warm and inviting glow, but it also adds that extra "WOW" factor we were looking for.

We couldn't be happier with the results! This foyer now welcomes guests with open arms, setting the tone for this home. Swipe to see where we started.

*Color Crush* Our clients were ready to embrace color in their kitchen when they reach out to us. We started by refinishing the kitchen cabinets and adding a blue paint color to the island (and a blue fridge). We incorporated colorful pendants, vibrant fabrics & accessories and colorful artwork to create the bright and lively kitchen environment we were aiming for. It is great to see our client‘s personality shining through the space!

* Room with a View*
Large new windows were added to this living and kitchen areas to provide an opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Mediterranean. The space is designed with a minimalist approach, allowing the view to take center stage. To add visual interest, pops of color are strategically incorporated.

*BE YOU. Everything else is taken*

While attending a panel
discussion last week at High Point Market about Staying True to your Vision, one of the messages that resonated with me was “Be You. Everything else is taken”.

What a powerful message, as a human being, as a designer, and as end goal & deliverable for our clients.

Every client is unique and so should their space be. At Couture Haus, we understand the significance of listening to our clients' vision and delivering spaces that align with their personality, design aesthetic, and lifestyle. By actively engaging with our clients and understanding their unique preferences, we can create spaces that truly resonate with them. Our goal is to ensure that every design decision reflects their individuality and enhances their living experience.

Because “Being You” starts at Home.

*Elevated Simplicity*
We allowed the materials to speak for themselves in this minimalist bathroom design. A large tile format sets the tone for the space. A floating vanity & cabinet in a leathered finish, a textural vessel sink and an organic shaped LED mirror complete the space.

*La Belle Maison*

When we started this project we were faced with 3 alternatives:

1) A facelift with no structural changes

2) A more extensive remodel with some structural changes while keeping the roof and existing footprint of the house intact

3) A complete remodel, with new flat roofs in the whole house, balconies overlooking the Mediterranean and larger footprint.

Can you tell which option was chosen? Yes, #2! We decided to keep many of the original features of the house (footprint, roof, shutters) while enlarging the windows in the first floor to allow 180 degree sea views. This picture of the terrace was the only flat roof we added.

I can’t wait to show you the rest of the project which includes an addition of an Owner’s Suite with a bedroom, bathroom and a private terrace, major outdoor work and of course the Interiors!

We were very excited to partner with architect and builder @ateliersangregorio, whose very modern & clean-lined design aesthetic shines through the whole project.

Swipe to see the before. If you want to see more of our project go to our website.
