SEE THIS HOUSE: A SEATTLE AREA HOME FULL OF VISUAL TEXTURE!

June 9, 2011
  • Share
Family room designed by Graciela Rutkowski with trellis patterned carpet, two animal print armchairs, a taupe sofa with blue accent pillows, a blue upholstered ottoman, a black fireplace with a white frame, built in bookcases with the back of the shelves painted black and a coffered ceiling

I like this home decorated by Seattle based interior designer Graciela Rutkowski. Just the right amount of texture and the perfect infusion of colors.

Love the trellis rug in the family room that in a way mirrors the coiffered ceiling there. The floor is doing double duty…functional soft carpeting while also making a design statement.

Some other highlights for me: the bright green chairs in the dining room, the Kelly Wearstler fabric upholstered kitchen area dining chair, and the soft blue velvet tufted headboard in the master bedroom.

Dark dining room with dark brown walls, a large landscape painting, a crystal chandelier, bright apple green upholstered chairs, and two white lattice pots on a dark table

Living room dueling sofas with several graphic patterned and ikat pillows, a black coffee table, two animal print upholstered x-stools, dark wood floor with sea grass area rug, a large fireplace with a piece of colorful modern art on the mantel and a moulded ceiling

Kitchen with darkwood floor, white drawers and cabinets, stainless appliances, two pendant lights, an island with a marble countertop and white base surrounded by orange counter stools
Love the orange counter stools nestled under the kitchen island. (above)
Informal dining room with a long trestle wood table, a mix of chairs and a sofa for seating, a large encasement window and floor length lime green graphic printed curtains

Bedroom with blue upholstered headboard, taupe walls, a crystal chandelier, a white nightstand, an arched vintage inspired mirror and an upholstered bench at the foot of the bed with a jack russell terrier sitting on it.

What do you think of the textures in this home? Like or don’t like? Please do tell.

Happy Thursday!

    The textures are really pretty
    I just caught up on a lot of your prior posts! The apartment in Paris looks great! I can smell the coffee and the croissants!
    Enjoy!

    I cannot agree with you more about the bright green chairs in the dining room. The mixture of colors, textures, and accessories is absolutely wonderful. The animal print is also a nice touch, one of my favorites!

    I love how white marble countertops are so timeless and versatile! For example, those orange chairs would look good ANY color! Although, I do love the orange :-)Crocodile Rocks in the Seattle area have the BEST selection of stone slabs!

    Happy designing!

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.

The kitchen island gets all the credit. The stools The kitchen island gets all the credit. The stools rarely get any.
Velvet, woven wood, molded modern, sculptural, cast brass — seven islands, seven completely different takes on where you actually sit down. Some rooms go quiet with it, some go bold. Both work.

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎
