From the first conversation, our goal with the Frenette home was to look at the house as one connected story rather than a collection of separate rooms, so every space works beautifully on its own and flows seamlessly into the next.
The result is elevated but still lived-in, with warm walnut, soft cream and lots of textures that work to make the space feel layered and cozy. We wanted to make sure the space was reflective of its ocean-front setting; calm and thoughtful. Each room considered how materials, tones and textures could be repeated to help tie the whole home together.
The Living Room
The living area is anchored by a generous cream sectional by _____, paired with a sculptural round coffee table with a soft, plaster-like finish.
The accessories, especially the pillows by Rug & Weave, is where we like to add some textures and patterns: chocolate brown bouclé, a neutral gingham and a vintage-inspired floral block print. We’ve also layered in some darker accents, including matte black candlesticks and a natural vase.
We didn’t want to completely cover such a beautiful view, so we lined the floor-to-ceiling windows with sheer linen drapery to diffuse the daylight and bring a warm glow to the space.
The Dining Room
In the dining area, we make a statement with a large oval table from ______. It’s shape and sculptural base is especially unique, and pairs beautifully with these mixed material dining chairs from _______. All of this is anchored by a minimalistic chandelier with sweeping arms, bringing focus to the architectural details of the stunning curved plaster fireplace.
Why a Holistic Approach Matters
A cohesive home does not happen by accident. It comes from deciding early on a palette, a material story and styles of pattern, then applying them across every room. On the Frenette Project, that meant:
A consistent palette: warm walnut, cream, soft taupe and charcoal accents used throughout
Repeated textures: bouclé, linen, leather and natural wood appearing in every space
Layered lighting: statement fixtures paired with soft natural light and sheer window treatments
Intentional finishing touches: art, greenery, books and accessories chosen to complete each room
