The newly married pair, Drew Standrod and Janson Morehead, confirmed they were all about including some wow factors and cited “West Coastline modern” as a guiding style—which was all music to Shelby’s ears. Their new white duplex was a blank slate, but the few experienced great art and light fixtures as a setting up stage.

Touches of teal
“Drew and Janson required their home to be ‘a moment’, and I consider we obtained that,” states Shelby, whose firm’s identify is Tiny Black Fox. An unused reward home offered the opportunity to paint walls in high-gloss teal (“Pacific Sea Teal” by Benjamin Moore). “This coloration generates the fantastic place to sit, have a cocktail, and put on some vinyl. It’s daring, but quietly so,” the designer adds. Other vital functions consist of matching teal curtains and a personalized window seat, all maintaining the zebra art as the focal place.

Again to Black
“We wished to go daring in the primary bedroom, so we did so with some attractive artwork, and Sherwin Williams’ ‘Bohemian Black’ on the wall,” suggests the designer. “The house now feels complex and captivating.” Her assistance to everyone looking at a black bed room? Just do it. In this circumstance, white bedding with a black trim and a lighter rug vary the texture and distinction with the sultry walls.

Trust in Rust
To give new lifetime to a guest bed room with current furnishings, Shelby wrapped the home in a playful rust-orange stripe. A conceal rug and textural add-ons play up the earthy topic. As with other rooms, the couple needed extras and artwork to replicate their travels and interests. “One of their targets was to carry the essence of the boutique hotels they’ve frequented throughout the world, like the Chromata in Santorini, or the Zadun in Cabo, into their house,” states Shelby. “We wanted to capture that thought of every place reflecting the nearby taste along with substantial structure.”
