Home Reveal: Project Port Margate

October 17, 2019 by blackband Filed Under: Interiors Leave a Comment

A classic Port Streets beauty full of surprises inside.

We teamed up with Graystone Custom Builders to complete this new build in the dreamy Port Streets neighborhood of Newport Beach. The curb appeal models classic coastal style with its gray shingles and white trim while one peek through the dutch door reveals eclectic interiors radiating cool California vibes.

Home Reveal: Project Newport Wedge

A beach house that defies all coastal trends

and takes rad surf style to a sophisticated level.

We played up the sleek, contemporary finishes and architecture of this home with colorful textiles, organic patterns and collected pieces from the homeowners' travels creating a home full of personality. This is not your average beach house, it's a work of art.

PROJECT NEWPORT WEDGE BY BLACKBAND DESIGN // PHOTOGRAPHY BY RYAN GARVIN

Symmetry runs deep in this home and gives order to the colorful mix of patterns. A bold pair of bookcases flanking the mantel set the stage for double L-shape sectionals to fill the long floor plan and two eccentric occasional chairs to continue the mirrored effect.

The formal dining space is kept casual with woven chairs and a patterned rug, yet it boasts exceptional sophistication in scale and finishes. Playful colors come in through unique florals and local surf panel art. [Below] The breakfast nook offers additional seating and style with its mix of soft upholstery, leather weaves and three-dimensional art.

A floor-to-ceiling velvet channel-tufted banquette replaced built-in cabinets of the former office for a statement seating situation in the stylish game room.

Exuberant and zen -- all in one.

Stripes in the guest quarters offer a nod to nautical design while setting the foundation for additional patterns to be layered in. Sign us up for a stay here!

Waterfront-living isn't complete without proper furnishings to take in all the views and this outdoor dining banquette exceeds all those dock expectations.

Thanks for taking the tour!! Let us know what you think of this one-of-a-kind beach house in the comments below and save your favorite ideas to that "dream home" board on Pinterest!

Home Reveal: Project One Ford Road

Traditional meets modern in this Newport Beach home complete with family-friendly furnishings + a sophisticated color palette

We took on this home remodel with our in-house renovation team -- knocking out walls + extending the interiors to create an open + airy space for our clients' family to spend time together. We finished the renovation with clean lines, bold paint selections + plush yet practical furnishings for all to enjoy, even the pup... as seen throughout the tour. A "before + after" will need to follow to show what a difference this transformation made.

I spy: queen of the house

the traditional architecture of the kitchen was restored with fresh paint, updated lighting + textural counter stools

a pocket door divides the entryway from the great room when needed + disappears into the wall for a clear view through the doorway

a rich-stained wood table, minimalist leather chairs + a modern, brass light fixture play along the simple lines but add interest with the contrasting textures

the master suite is a serene retreat with strong masculine tones, soft feminine details + wallpaper mimicking cork board for a subtle textural element

a leathered black marble surround flaunts creamy, swirling veins + complements the consistency of mixing soft + dark finishes throughout the home

a black + blue home office displaying sports memorabilia doubles as a man cave hideaway off the master suite

kids have their own work stations to complete school projects + express themselves... + plenty of storage means there's a chance they'll keep it clean!!

a built-in window seat offers room to lounge on a soft blue velvet cushion + display personal favorites in the nook shelving

Project Newport Waterfront Reveal // Great Room

January 3, 2019 by blackband Filed Under: Blackband Blog, Interiors Leave a Comment

The greatest of great rooms in scale and sophistication is right at home in Project Newport Waterfront. The vast, open floorpan called for creativity to thoughtfully fill the space while keeping seating arrangements intimate. A double sectional layout on one end of the room provides a casual and cozy place to unwind, watch TV and take in the views. Four tufted leather chairs offer a more formal sitting area to catch up with guests and, again, take in the views! Large (and incredibly soft) area rugs anchor each of the furniture arrangements to stand alone while the fabrics and finishes complement each other in the shared space. A full bar and wine wall add more interest to the room with a mix of textures, finishes and styles. Bohemian beaded light fixtures above the streamlined countertop finished with metallic tiles and velvet swivel barstools are a testimony to the fun we had in this design process. We weren’t the only ones taking full advantage of the coolness our clients desired — Infinity Aquariums created a 1,200-gallon salt water tank complete with a custom, handmade coral reef and a Tesla battery back up. We think “great” may be an understatement for this room, but have a look for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Project Newport Waterfront Reveal // Master Suite

October 8, 2018 by blackband Filed Under: Blackband Blog, Interiors Leave a Comment

We’re starting this week off with a BANG sharing part one of our room-by-room reveal of Project Newport Waterfront — a freshly completed custom home on the bay that we had the honor of designing with architect Rob Sinclair, builder Andrew Patterson and incredible clients with a vision that came to life!

First up in this reveal series, we have the Master Suite consisting of a private sitting room, spacious bedroom and luxury bathroom. This serene retreat is grand in size and spectacular in the quality of every detail, yet kept casual and inviting with its cozy textures, relaxed furnishings and playful personal touches. Deep earth tones used throughout the space soften the black and white framework and reflect the natural beauty of the harbor views surrounding. A whimsical canopy bed claims the spotlight and sets the stage for a dreamy atmosphere. Sunlight pours into the rooms through walls of steel-framed windows, and a skylight over the tub illuminates the pristine bathroom lined with sleek finishes and resort-like amenities. There’s no doubt this master suite is a paradise in a class of its own!

Project Costa Mesa Reveal

July 13, 2018 by blackband Filed Under: Blackband Blog, Interiors

This sweet Eastside Costa Mesa home was already full of picturesque curb appeal and great bones when we came aboard the project, so our design focus was furnishing and accessorizing. We updated the interior spaces with a mix of classic and cozy pieces creating a fresh blend between the homeowners’ East Coast roots and California lifestyle. While maintaining a clean and serene aesthetic throughout the home, we tailored the details to reflect the family’s character — check out the large coffee table suitable for family game time and the personal travel photography showcased in the office. Enjoy the tour!
