This ongoing project started as a new build several years ago. Dwell helped the homeowners with the finishes, lighting, and furniture of the main spaces upstairs to achieve the Mountain-esque vibe the clients love when visiting Colorado. A few years later, when it was time to finish the lower level, Dwell got involved even more in helping select the full design plan for the space. This included helping with kitchen design, fireplace design, tile and flooring selections, as well as trim details and built ins, and of course the furniture design as well!

Designing with family in mind! ✨
Jackie and Timmy transformed this modern and playful living room space into a functional haven for a family with young kids—prioritizing durability without sacrificing style. Earthy neutrals, muted greens, and rich cognac tones bring the outdoors in, while clean lines and organic shapes keep the vibe fresh and modern. Thoughtful design meets everyday performance! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Fresh on the floor ✨
A large sale means more room for new pieces! Two brand-new vignettes are bringing all the spring vibes—think bold color, layered textures, and plenty of personality.
One standout? The @youngerfurniture Stack Sofa in the most gorgeous blue/green color. It’s the perfect statement piece for the season! 🌿💙

The Monochromatic Family Room strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and luxe ✨
This cozy yet sleek space was designed with both kids and adults in mind—think movie nights on a plush sectional, swivel chairs for easy conversation, and a spacious cocktail table ready for snacks, games, or a casual catch-up. A sofa table with tucked-away stools adds even more function (and seating!) without sacrificing style. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
