Heirloom House
The Creative Vision
With a love for treasured heirloom pieces, the homeowners envisioned a beautifully reimagined home and turned to Design & Elevate to craft it. From the formal living and dining rooms to the prayer room, kids’ and guest baths, primary bath, and master bedroom, every corner was thoughtfully composed. Traditional details, likely inspired by Indian aesthetics, were seamlessly paired with modern design elements, creating a home that feels both timeless and personal – a living reflection of the people who call it their own

Taking the Transformation Further
Family Room Refresh
This warm and inviting family room balances comfort with modern style. Caramel leather sofas face a sleek glass coffee table atop a blue-and-cream area rug, framed by custom white cabinetry with a wall-mounted TV on one side and a brick fireplace with a wood mantel on the other. Large windows with cream drapery, cozy gray chairs, lush greenery, and warm overhead lighting complete the space – perfect for relaxation and family gatherings.
Elegant Dining Upgrade
This bright, inviting dining room combines rustic warmth with modern elegance. A solid wood table with metal accents sits atop a patterned blue rug, surrounded by six light gray upholstered chairs. A bronze rectangular chandelier with glass shades anchors the space, complemented by soft beige walls with white wainscoting. Sculptural wall art, floating shelves with vintage brass accents, and a turquoise distressed buffet table add character, while lush monstera plants, white curtains, and abundant natural light bring freshness and charm.
From Office to Prayer room
Once an office, this bay nook was transformed into a serene pooja room with arched windows. A marble-topped altar with dark wood cabinetry displays brass deities and oil lamps, while a backlit panel of devotional artworks, hanging lamps, carved accents, and softly glowing diyas create a warm, peaceful space for prayer and reflection.
Primary Bath Spa-Inspired Suite Upgrade
This primary suite bathroom exudes spa-like serenity with luxe materials and warm, modern details. A freestanding oval tub beneath a wide window is framed by large-format marble-look slabs with caramel veining, complemented by brushed-brass fixtures and a sculptural side table. The curbless wet-zone shower features dual brass systems and a recessed niche with wood fluted tile and integrated LED lighting. Custom wood cabinetry with brass hardware, arched mirrors, and elegant lighting create a refined vanity area, while light oak-look flooring and natural greenery add warmth – resulting in a tranquil, luxurious retreat designed for daily indulgence.
Vibrant Bath Revamp
This bathroom showcases a deep soaking tub with jets behind frameless glass, framed by taupe tile and white marble-look walls. Brushed-brass fixtures add warmth and safety. The sage green double vanity with brass pulls features white quartz counters, oval brass mirrors, and sleek sconces set against lively tropical wallpaper, creating a fresh, vibrant space.
Guest Bath Redesign
The guest bath features bold black floor tiles with a white floral motif, evoking a vintage-inspired graphic look. A frameless glass shower with a raised white curb encloses charcoal hexagon tiles that provide contrast and grip. Warm wood cabinetry with tapered legs and a black floor vent complete the space.
Large light-gray tiles accented by black octagon outlines offer a clean, modern feel, tying the design to the main bath while maintaining unique character.
