Open main floor (part 2): Living room with vaulted ceiling and new skylights (Studio ALC)

August 04, 2024 in Interiors

Continuing this main floor remodel series, Studio ALC added skylights and opened up the ceiling to create a taller, vaulted ceiling. This allows natural light to stream in from both the existing bay window and the skylights. The home didn’t get much light before, but now it’s bright and open throughout the day.

@creativedesigntherapy completely updated the inside of this home from top to bottom and the kitchen + dining area got some much needed love.

The two are next to each other in an open space, making it easy to move back and forth with food + drinks.
See the difference lighting can make? This built-in has a mix of open shelves for display and closed shelves for storage. And that soft lighting to create a nice glow 😍

Swipe to see how it looks 👉🏻

Interior design: @studio.alc
This kitchen was designed for gatherings and after meeting the homeowners, I could see how their warmth and hospitality extends to the rest of their home 🥰

From the @subzeroandwolf stove to the additional sink to the large island, @studio.alc creat
