Interior Design Client Spotlight: The Harris House

Interior Design Client Spotlight: The Harris House

One of our largest jobs to date, we completed this home through stages to transform the client’s space into the home of their dreams! 

 Harris kitchen before

Starting with the kitchen, we were presented with a space with dated details that the client wanted to update. The dark flooring pulled the room down and made the space feel smaller than it actually was. We wanted to lighten the space and bring a breath of fresh air to the kitchen for the client to enjoy. Here’s what we completed to turn the kitchen from Olive Garden-esque to Architecture Digest:

Harris kitchen after with kitchen island and new chairs and light fixtures

  • Expanded the existing upper cabinets to the ceiling and added new crown molding and hardware
  • Replaced existing light fixtures with new pendant lights and added additional recessed lighting
  • Repositioned new appliances to make them more accessible
  • Wrapped existing island with shiplap and added a fresh coat of paint
  • Installed new quartz countertops and backsplash
  • Added a fresh coat of paint to the walls, ceiling, and cabinetry
  • Brought in new barstools and accessories to freshen the space

Harris living room before

For the living room, we wanted to modernize the space while also keeping timeless elements to fit the client’s style. The home came with dramatic molding throughout the entire home. Even though we loved the decorative detail, we wanted to dial it back somewhat to make it less overwhelming.  This is what we accomplished to completely makeover the living room and foyer:

Harris living room after
  • Replaced the existing molding with a gorgeous wrapped floor-to-ceiling porcelain mantle and fireplace insert
  • Installed floating shelves to flank the fireplace
  • Refreshed two console tables and two buffet pieces with new paint and finish
  • Brought in a new custom sectional and supporting furniture pieces
  • Layed down a new rug
  • Replaced the stair runner with a fresh new selection
  • Replaced all light fixtures within the living and foyer
  • Decorated with fresh accessories from the store


Now the job wouldn’t be complete without tackling the exterior. Prior to getting our hands on the home, the exterior had a salmon brick color that wasn't complimentary to the newly refurbished interior. So, we painted the entire exterior a soothing white with touches of rich charcoal gray on the flashing, rain gutters, and brick detail. We also painted the garage doors and newly replaced front door to have a rich  faux wood detail and replaced the exterior lighting. 

 

Talk about a complete transformation! We had a great time working with the client to achieve the Halo Home of their dreams that they’ll enjoy for years to come

Creating a Dream Poolside and Cabana Retreat
We recently completed a stunning outdoor installation for an interior design client, transforming their pool and cabana area into a luxurious oasis. Here’s a look at the project, from concept to completion. Understanding the Client’s Vision Our client envisioned a serene and sophisticated space that would serve as both a retreat and a gathering place. They wanted the area to reflect their personal style while providing comfort and functionality. Planning and Design Space Assessment: We started by evaluating the pool area and cabana, taking note of the available space, sunlight exposure, and existing landscape features. Design Elements: The client desired a seamless blend of timeless elegance and natural beauty. We focused on selecting materials and furniture that would harmonize with the environment while offering durability and style. Furniture Selection Lounge Zone: We installed sleek, weather-resistant chaise lounges around the pool, perfect for sunbathing. Each lounge was paired with a small side table for convenience. Dining Area: Next to the cabana, we placed two large dining tables with comfortable, cushioned chairs to create a grand effect. This setup allows for hosting outdoor dining, providing a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. Cabana: A set of plush outdoor sofas and armchairs, complete with throw pillows, created an inviting space for conversation and relaxation. Accessorizing the Space Outdoor Rugs: We used vibrant outdoor rugs to define different zones and add warmth to the space. Lighting: To create a magical ambiance for evening gatherings, we installed gas-lit copper lanterns sourced directly from Europe Planters and Greenery: Large planters with lush, tropical plants were used to enhance the natural aesthetic and add privacy. Client Collaboration Throughout the process, we maintained open communication with the client, ensuring that every detail aligned with their vision. Their input was invaluable in creating a space that truly felt like home. The Finished Product The completed installation exceeded expectations, transforming the client’s outdoor area into a dream retreat. The combination of functional design and aesthetic appeal created a perfect balance, inviting relaxation and enjoyment. Conclusion This project highlights the importance of understanding client needs and crafting personalized outdoor spaces. At Halo Home, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional results that reflect the unique style and preferences of each client. --- Are you ready to transform your outdoor space?

Shop Our New Location
Our previous store was a quaint 3,000 square foot boutique location. If you visited us prior to our move, you experienced first-hand how cramped and tight of a space it was.  Our new location was a 10,000 square foot shell that had tons of potential… Previously a Family Dollar store, we had our work cut out for us to transform the space from Dollar Store Bargain to Design Showroom Heaven.   At our new location, we wanted to create a space that was functional enough to organize our inventory but also granted us the creative freedom to change the layout of the store.  We achieved this in a variety of different ways: Lined the perimeter walls with custom adjustable built-in shelves with lower cabinets for back-stock storage Created a spacious wrap-around counter with brick detailing to expand our registers and gift-wrapping offerings Installed new oak flooring and painted the ceiling a rich charcoal color to elevate the space in a fresh, new way  Added gorgeous touches such as butcher block countertops, gold sconces, leather handles, and amazing sliding library ladders for easy access to our products Part of our expansion included allocating plenty of room for our design room. As you enter the Design Room, you’re greeted with gorgeous brick arches that pull you into the space. We installed lower cabinets to store our design tools alongside the gorgeous custom cabinetry for fabric samples. These tools are beautifully displayed in a space that fosters creativity and inspiration for clients and our team.  Our new design room houses over: 1,000 different upholstery and leather samples for clients to choose from Countertop selections Backsplash options Cabinetry finishes Jewelry for cabinets from our two hardware lines An array of wallpaper styles  We allocated an extra 1,000 square feet of floor space to create an additional storage room adjacent to the existing back workroom to house our inventory. We completely transformed the back room to create extra office space, kitchenette and breakroom, and an expanded bathroom for guests. We finished off the exterior with a fresh coat of paint and new signage that can be spotted from a mile away!  We couldn't be more excited to be in our new space where we have tons of room and opportunity to grow. We hope you come visit us soon to see what Halo Home is all about.
