We can’t get enough of the skylights, vaulted ceilings and sleek charcoal-colored tile that lends well to just about any furniture you might be tempted to bring.
The neutral palette also lends itself well to metallic detailing. Swap stainless steel hardware for brass, matte black or polished white ceramic. The choice is yours.
We’re just as impressed by the bedrooms. Don’t you dare put curtains on these windows! Robotic blinds or bust—the natural light and foliage are priceless.
