The Ivey Trace home exemplifies her signature style, combining sophisticated, layered design with functionality and warmth.
Each space reflects her intentional approach, ensuring every detail contributes to a lived-in, yet elevated aesthetic that stands the test of time.
Architectural Flow: Open Yet Defined Spaces
Every entry to this home is encapsulated by the soft glow of natural light. Structured with open-concept rooms, these well-defined spaces allow light to flow through the home while maintaining distinct functional areas.
This layout creates an easy flow from one space to another, making the home feel expansive yet connected.
Colors and Patterns: A Sophisticated Scheme
This multifaceted home greets you with an array of playful patterns and tones. From neutral varying shades of beige, cream, and gray, to pops of blue, green, pink and yellow, each room showcases its personality through accent wallpaper, pops of color, and unique design accents.
Despite the clean lines and sleek nature of the common areas, the bedrooms, bathrooms and dens come alive with the character of its residents.
The daughter's bedroom is lined with soft pinks and purples and dainty details. On the contrary, the son’s bedroom bares neutral greens and blues, complete with personalized decor.
No two spaces are the same, as each room features different textures of tiles and patterns.
From pinks and creams, to marble and wood tones, every space has its own sense of style that, while shining on its own, completes the home.
Materials and Textures: A Story of Depth
Depth finds its origin in the convergence of the home’s materials and elements. The thoughtful layering of wood, stone, metals, and fabrics add a visual interest that captivates the natural eye.
The varied textures in the upholstery, countertops, flooring, and cabinets bring warmth and richness to the color scheme, creating dimension throughout the home. Each area of this home feels like a new experience.
The Art of Lighting
Luxury craft is evident in the decorative lighting around this home. Bold chandeliers, sculptural pendant lights, and soft ambient lighting find their homes in each space, illuminating while doubling as functional art.
These pieces add personality and a touch of glamor to the overall design.
