Light-filled Cincinnati living room with neutral furnishings and layered textures

Refined Romance

Cincinnati, Ohio · Full-Service Interior Design

Designed for a busy family of six, this Cincinnati home already had an incredible layout and beautiful natural light, but the way the spaces functioned—and a lack of thoughtful storage—wasn’t serving the family’s everyday life.

At the heart of the project was a large open space shared by the media room and study. By closing the wall between the two, we gave each room its own identity and purpose, incorporating custom built-ins throughout to add thoughtful storage and improve the way each space functions for the family.

Across the main living spaces, we introduced softer, moodier layers to create a home that feels warm, inviting, and full of personality. The media room became a favorite—a playful, captivating space that sets the tone from the moment you walk through the door.
