In the realm of contemporary design, there’s a growing demand for homes that balance fresh and clean aesthetics with rustic charm, and our Hamilton model home at Empire Kennington in Charlotte is appealing to the masses.
When bringing this model home to life, the designers of Unscripted Interior Design dove deep into current design trends, considering the appeal of curated pieces you’d find at retailers like Crate & Barrel and West Elm. The outcome? Warm tones, intriguing accent walls, and unique elements that add effortless depth and interest to rooms. Read on to learn how you can replicate this fresh and contemporary look to give your home the design refresh it deserves.
The Kitchen & Dining Room
With clean lines, bright-white cabinets, and natural light illuminating the space, there’s never a dull moment in this kitchen. To achieve a vibrant look, the designers opted for white cabinets, as well as dark-colored countertops and hardware for contrast. A medium-stained wooden table keeps the space warm and functional, while a red-toned rug frames the space.
