In this new build for a Toronto couple and their two kids, designer Gabriele Guiducci considered his clients’ needs, the natural light and sightlines. When laying out the 126-square-foot primary bathroom, he included a separate bathtub and shower, as well as a toilet room. He placed windows to maximize light and considered the best place for the bathroom door within their bedroom.
Once Guiducci was done with the architectural planning for the space, interior designer Terra Kushner took over with the finishes. “Our clients are classic with a modern twist,” Kushner says. “They vibed with a Lower East Side Manhattan hotel, the Ludlow.” The hotel mixes classic materials with hints of the neighborhood’s gritty urban and artistic history. The result for the couple is a light-filled bathroom that feels timeless and handsome.

These homeowners, parents of three daughters, made a move toward their retirement years when they bought this forever home outside Atlanta. Design-wise, they were starting some scratch, so friends recommended Meriwether Design Group. After checking out the designers’ work on Houzz, the couple called the firm to help them make their new build their own. Designer Meriwether McAdams had a hand in every inch of the design, including the cabinetry, finishes, lighting, furniture and architectural details such as ceiling beams, paneling and a new fireplace surround.
“They were getting close to having an empty nest, and this house is within walking distance of Marietta Square,” McAdams says. The square is a popular draw in Marietta, as it’s full of cute shops and restaurants. The couple knew they wanted neutrals, particularly contrasting black and white. The designer worked closely with them to add comforting organic and soft touches that keep the black-and-white contrast from feeling too stark.

“I think a lot of interior design seems inaccessible to people, as they associate it with extensive, expensive renovations and bespoke luxury items,” interior designer Becky Wetzler says. “We can do that. But we also love to show clients how we can put their personal stamp on their homes with elements like wallpaper, paint and furnishings and without having to remodel.” That was the case for this Bethesda, Maryland, family of six and the spec house it had recently moved into.
The house had lovely millwork, including coffered ceilings, wainscoting, crown moldings and tall baseboards. The kitchen and bathrooms were up to date and in good shape — remodeling them would have been a waste of money and materials. But the blank slate of a home lacked personality and style that reflected the family’s Southern roots and love of coastal settings. Wetzler and her team listened carefully to the homeowners’ wants and needs. Accordingly, they created a house made for quality family time with coastal-inspired style and hints of Southern preppy flair.

Like the black-and-white fabrics Bald picked for the furniture, Van Zandt went for contrast among the plantings. The hardscape around the large raised beds is a light pea gravel. The gravel beneath the trees is darker, larger, flatter and more compacted. There is steel edging between the different gravel beds and between the gravel beds and the lawn.
A trio of concrete globe sculptures adds curves to rectilinear beds. Bald “came up with creative ideas like adding these globes, and she picked some of the planters,” Van Zandt says. “She is so creative, and it was really great to be able to see one of the landscapes I worked on completely finished like this.”
