A Closer Look: The Omaha Residence

Our design team was thrilled to provide complete interior design services for this gorgeous new construction project just outside of Omaha, Nebraska. The beautiful blue skies and rolling hills of Nebraska and Iowa come together in this unique area of the country to provide a rural oasis just outside of the bustling city of Omaha.  The clients provided the basic architectural plans and our team designed all of the cabinetry, wainscoting, the fireplace wall and many other architectural details.  We also selected all of the material finishes (tile, paint, lighting and plumbing fixtures, cabinet hardware, etc.) and furnished the home. The clean lines and crisp black and white color scheme provide the modern, yet comfortable, feeling that our clients were looking for in their rural oasis.

The soaring living room ceilings in this Omaha home showcase custom designed bookcases, while a comfortable modern sectional sofa provides ample space for seating.  The expansive windows highlight the beautiful rolling hills and greenery of the exterior.  The grid design of the large windows is repeated again in the coffered ceiling design.  Wood look tile provides a durable surface for kids and pets and also allows for radiant heat flooring to be installed underneath the tile.  The custom designed marble fireplace completes the sophisticated look.

The showstopper kitchen is punctuated by the blue skies and green rolling hills of this Omaha home's exterior landscape.  The crisp black and white kitchen features a vaulted ceiling with wood ceiling beams, large modern black windows, wood look tile floors, Wolf Subzero appliances, a large kitchen island with seating for six, an expansive dining area with floor to ceiling windows, black and gold island pendants, quartz countertops and a marble tile backsplash.  A scullery located behind the kitchen features ample pantry storage, a prep sink, a built-in coffee bar and stunning black and white marble floor tile.

Double glass front doors at the home's foyer provide a welcoming glimpse into the home's living room and to the beautiful view beyond.  A modern bench provides style and a handy place to put on shoes, a large abstract piece of art adds personality.  The compact foyer does not feel small, as it is also open to the adjacent stairwell, two hallways and the home's living area.

The impressive staircase is located next to the foyer.  The black wainscoting provides a dramatic backdrop for the gold pendant chandelier that hangs over the staircase.  Simple black iron railing frames the stairwell to the basement and open hallways provide a welcoming flow on the main level of the home.

The dramatic powder bath provides a sophisticated spot for guests.  Geometric black and white floor tile and a dramatic apron countertop provide contrast against the white floating vanity.  Black and gold accents tie the space together and a fuchsia bouquet of flowers adds a punch of color.

The light filled laundry room is punctuated with black and gold accents, a playful floor tile pattern and a large dog shower.  The U-shaped laundry room features plenty of counter space for folding clothes and ample cabinet storage.  A mesh front drying cabinet is the perfect spot to hang clothes to dry out of sight.  The "drop zone" outside of the laundry room features a countertop beside the garage door for leaving car keys and purses.  Under the countertop, the client requested an open space to fit a large dog kennel to keep it tucked away out of the walking area.  The room's color scheme was pulled from the fun floor tile and works beautifully with the nearby kitchen and pantry.

This beautiful home office boasts charcoal cabinetry with loads of storage.  The left doors hide a printer station, while the right doors organize clear plastic bins for scrapbooking. For interest, a marble mosaic floor tile rug was inset into the wood look floor tile.  The wall opposite the desk also features lots of countertop space for crafting, as well as additional storage cabinets.  File drawers and organization for wrapping paper and gift bags round out this functional home office. 

The lovely primary bedroom feels modern, yet cozy.  The custom octagon wall panels create a sophisticated atmosphere, while the chandelier and modern bedding add a punch of personality to the space.  The lush landscape draws the eye to the expansive windows overlooking the backyard.  The homeowner's favorite shade of aubergine adds depth to the mostly white space.

The soothing primary bath provides a respite from the homeowners' busy lives.  The expansive vanity mirror highlights the room's tall ceilings, while the soft colors provide a relaxing atmosphere.  Gold wall sconces, hardware and faucets are beautifully showcased against the rooms greige cabinetry.  The shower is located in a separate bathroom alcove, allowing for privacy.  The "his and her" shower boasts two shower heads, hand-held shower wands, a rain shower, a built-in quartz bench and two shower niches.  A shower window allows natural light to flood the elegant space. 

The expansive basement entertainment area features a tv room, a kitchenette and a custom bar for entertaining.  The custom entertainment center and bar areas feature bright blue cabinets with white oak accents.  Lucite and gold cabinet hardware adds a modern touch.  The sitting area features a comfortable sectional sofa and geometric accent pillows that mimic the design of the kitchenette backsplash tile.  The kitchenette features a beverage fridge, a sink, a dishwasher and an undercounter microwave drawer.  The large island is a favorite hangout spot for the clients' teenage children and family friends.  The convenient kitchenette is located on the basement level to prevent frequent trips upstairs to the main kitchen.  The custom bar features lots of storage for bar ware, glass display cabinets and white oak display shelves.  Locking liquor cabinets keep the alcohol out of reach for the younger generation.

This sophisticated black and white bath belongs to the clients' teenage son. He requested a masculine design with a warming towel rack and radiant heated flooring. A few gold accents provide contrast against the black cabinets and pair nicely with the matte black plumbing fixtures. A tall linen cabinet provides a handy storage area for towels and toiletries. The focal point of the room is the bold shower tile accent wall that provides a welcoming surprise when entering the bath from the basement hallway.
