This contemporary Mill Valley home for a young family of four needed some softness and added comfort.

By removing an unsightly central fireplace and dividing wall, we created a spacious great room that fosters togetherness. New hardwood flooring and a fresh wall color set a serene foundation, while carefully selected furniture, drapery, lighting, and personal objects introduce natural textures and a soft color palette. Accents of brass, leather and black metal, along with small touches of patterns, add depth and character.

The result is a harmonious blend of elegance and comfort, perfectly suited to the family's lifestyle.
