DESIGN CHALLENGE:

With small spaces come big challenges, and balance is the name of the game! Balance between privacy and connection, activity and rest, sophistication and utility. With that in mind, MOTIV Interiors renovated this 950 square-foot home that rests in a beautiful natural setting; surrounded by the dense woods of Middle Tennessee.

DESIGN SOLUTION:

Views were emphasized by simplifying the window openings; the living area’s wood ceiling was kept and served as a jumping-off point for the home’s re-design. Some vintage and custom furnishings were combined with the owners’ existing furniture and artwork.

To create the right atmosphere for the creative homeowners, we used a mix of sophisticated neutrals, natural materials, and heavy doses of lush jewel tones in the Kitchen, Bathroom, and one of two bedrooms. Interior trim and cabinetry are Poplar, a wood species native to Tennessee.

Additional storage was added to the interior; notably a custom built-in storage booth and custom table designed in-house. This flex space is intended for dining, working, and gathering. The larger bedroom features a custom-designed built-in headboard with integrated nightstands, lighting, and charging stations. A linen closet and 8 linear feet of closet space were also added by re-designing a shared wall between bedrooms.
