Design Style Guide

Start here

Find the style that feels like home.

Before we draw a single line, it helps to know what speaks to you. Browse the styles below and notice how each one lives across a home. There are no wrong answers, and most of the spaces we build borrow happily from a few.

As you browse, tap "I like this style" on any that speak to you — they'll gather at the bottom of the page, ready to copy or screenshot and send to us.

Grounded

Organic Modern

Warm minimalism with a softer hand. Flat-front white oak cabinetry, honed stone counters, and limewash or microcement walls, finished with handmade zellige tile and unlacquered brass or matte black fixtures. Curved edges and earthy, sun-warmed tones throughout — it feels calm, tactile, and quietly luxurious; modern, but never cold.

Calm

Minimalist

Less, but better. Handleless slab cabinets, a monolithic stone or quartz counter that wraps into a waterfall island, and a near-seamless backsplash in the same material. Integrated sinks, hidden storage, and a tight one- or two-tone palette let the surfaces and light do all the talking.

Cozy

Scandinavian

Light, warm, and unfussy. Pale oak or birch cabinetry, soft white or grey counters, and simple stacked or square tile, with clean-lined hardware and plenty of white. Natural wood and bright surfaces keep kitchens and baths feeling open and easy.

Serene

Japandi

Where Japanese restraint meets Scandinavian warmth. Quarter-sawn wood cabinetry, stone or concrete counters, and slim vertical or zellige tile, with low-profile fixtures in black or bronze. A spare, natural palette — wood, stone, paper, linen — makes every surface feel intentional and calm.

Retro

Mid-Century Modern

A retro spirit with modern livability. Flat-panel walnut or teak cabinetry paired with a confident counter or backsplash — terrazzo, geometric tile, or warm stone — and tapered, sculptural hardware. Graphic and warm, with rich wood grounding the room.

Balanced

Transitional

The easy middle ground between traditional and modern. Shaker cabinets in a soft neutral, quartz or marble-look counters, and a classic subway or elongated-hex backsplash, with brushed nickel or champagne-bronze fixtures. Detailed enough to feel warm, clean enough to feel fresh.

Timeless

Traditional

Symmetry, craftsmanship, and detail that rewards a second look. Raised-panel cabinetry, furniture-style vanities, natural stone or marble counters, and timeless tile, finished with polished nickel or antique brass. Rich woods and layered millwork make a kitchen or bath feel settled and considered.

Warm

Modern Farmhouse

The Texas favorite, and for good reason. Shaker cabinetry, apron-front sinks, butcher block or honed-stone counters, and shiplap or simple white tile, with black or oil-rubbed fixtures and crisp black window frames. Relaxed and family-first without ever feeling fussy.

Charming

Cottage

Small-scale charm with storybook warmth. Beadboard and painted cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, vintage-style faucets, and soft hand-glazed tile, gathered with open shelving and a few well-loved finds. Layers that look collected over time rather than bought all at once.

Romantic

French Country

Rustic elegance from the French countryside. Soft, sun-faded painted cabinetry, a carved hood or furniture-style island, natural stone counters, and weathered finishes, with unlacquered brass and gentle, antique detailing. Refined but lived-in — gracious and unhurried.

Earthy

Spanish Revival

Cool, shaded, and full of character — the Spanish-Colonial cousin of Mediterranean. Carved wood, wrought-iron hardware, and hand-painted Talavera tile across backsplashes and vanities, with plaster walls and warm stone counters. Arched openings and rich color make every room feel crafted.

Breezy

Coastal

Light, airy, and relaxed. Soft white or pale-blue cabinetry, weathered or whitewashed wood, quartz or marble-look counters, and glossy white or sea-glass tile, with brushed-nickel or chrome fixtures. Linen, rattan, and big windows keep it bright and breezy.

Bold

Art Deco

Glamour with geometry. Bold lacquered or dark-stained cabinetry, dramatic veined marble, and striking tile — chevron, fan, or scalloped — finished with brass, gold, or black accents. Sculptural vanities and statement lighting make baths especially luxe; opulent but modern.

Raw

Industrial

The bones of the building become the design. Exposed brick and concrete, metal-frame glass, and open shelving paired with slab or butcher-block counters, concrete or steel surfaces, and matte black fixtures. Warmed up with timber and leather so it reads as home, not warehouse.
