Hello! The bungalow is coming along so nicely! When we last left off, we had shared the final floor plans for the main level and upper level of the house (catch up here and here if needed!). Today we'd like to present the interior design direction for the home.
By design direction, we refer to the overall aesthetic vision for the property, including the common visual elements to be installed throughout the house to deliver an overarching look & feel.
The importance of setting a design direction for a home cannnot be overstated. Too often in remodels, a piecemeal approach is taken where one room fails to relate aesthetically to the next. At DAILY HOME CO., we believe in "whole house" design: investing time & effort up front to establish an overall design vision for the home, and selecting beautiful, repeating design elements to pull a whole house together visually. A consistent color palette, complementary materials, uniform millwork, coordinating tones & textures, flooring & finishes that flow uninterupted from space to space ... when done right, all of these "whole house" design details can add up to produce a cohesive & polished home that looks & feels greater than the sum of its parts.
So, let's get to it! For the Murray property, our aesthetic vision is to create a "modern bungalow": a fresh, clean, pared-down interior with lots of warmth and natural touches, elegant in its simplicity. A space that feels comfortable in every season -- light & bright in summer months, cozy & warm when the temperatures drop. And a home that's filled with character, true to its Prairie bungalow roots, yet fully refreshed and modernized for today.
Here is our inspiration board, which captures the warm, modern design direction for the project pefectly. (For more inspirational imagery, visit our DAILY HOME CO. Pinterest boards here).

A collection of common finishes & materials will be woven throughout the home to provide a connecting design framework. For color palette, we'll apply crisp, clean white across all trim, casing, wall paneling, and cabinetry, offset by warm, gray, neutral tones on the walls. Beautiful, light grey oak flooring, installed upstairs and down, will bring warmth and texture. Stone & tile finishes will be simple & sophisticated, including natural honed carerra marble, glazed brick, classic subway tile, and refined Ceasarstone. Dressing things up, we'll introduce hits of our favorite metallics -- matte black, polished nickel, & satin brass -- via hardware and light fixtures.
We can't wait to see these selections in place and the effect that they have on freshening up & unifying the visual profile of the house. Taken together, they'll form the perfect canvas on which to further develop each individual room.
Coming soon will be room-by-room details, where we'll share our design plans for each space. Thank you, as always, for following along :).
