This great room, designed as a genuinely indoor-outdoor space, features a tray ceiling with deeper proportions, offset by curvaceous furnishings that counterbalance its blocky architecture.

It’s a space where entertainment meets art, blending comfort and style to pursue a truly unique cinematic experience.

The tray ceiling, marked by its substantial proportions, bestows a sense of grandeur upon the room, creating a sophisticated backdrop for the curated design. To counterbalance the inherent blockiness, Michelle Nussbaumer introduces an array of curvaceous furnishings that dance harmoniously with the architectural elements.

A bold design narrative takes shape within the family room, where each element contributes to a captivating play of shapes and patterns. The tufty grid of the sofa and the striped upholstery of the Womb chair cleverly reference the blocky contemporary architecture of the home, forging a visual link between the furnishings and the surrounding structural elements.

Beneath the office’s carefully selected furnishings lies a soft gray rug, a silent yet impactful element that ties the entire space together.

At the heart of the room, the iconic Up chairs by Gaetano Pesce take center stage, challenging the space’s otherwise straight edges. Their bulbous form introduces a dynamic and playful element, creating a delightful contrast against the room’s more linear elements.
Contrasting with the notion of the Up chairs, the primary bedroom features a blocky tufted headboard, a bold piece that asserts itself against the room’s multidimensional flat surfaces. This juxtaposition of the rounded and the angular creates a visual tension, adding depth and intrigue to the overall design.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the rug anchors the space with its luxurious texture and thoughtfully chosen pattern.

In the daughter’s bedroom, an azure wallcovering by Phillip Jeffries and a boldly lacquered ceiling create a serene aquatic ambiance, nodding to the ocean backdrop. Meanwhile, for the tween boys, Michelle Nussbaumer incorporates their fascination with graffiti by commissioning a custom-designed wallpaper from Dallas artist Kelly O’Neal, capturing the essence of their generation’s perspective.
Rugs in each bedroom play a pivotal role, grounding the spaces with textures that complement the overall design, turning these bedrooms into personalized retreats within the coastal haven.
