Inverness Primary Suite
Inverness Primary Suite
Nestled in the charming Inverness neighborhood of Seattle, this primary suite underwent a transformative redesign to better reflect the homeowners' lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. While the original space featured tall ceilings and large windows, the layout felt cramped and didn’t fully take advantage of the room’s natural light and stunning water views. The homeowners loved their location but were ready for an update that would provide a more functional and serene retreat within their home.
The redesign focused on preserving key elements like the sitting room and unique roofline, while reconfiguring the layout to create a more open, flowing space. The refreshed primary bedroom now embraces its breathtaking views, featuring an optimized layout that not only maximizes the scenery but also enhances everyday functionality. A custom built-in window seat adds both practical seating and a tranquil spot to enjoy the views, further elevating the sense of relaxation in the room.
Incorporating the homeowners’ love of Japanese-inspired design, thoughtful details such as a new modern banister and elegant papered sliding doors were added. These features offer a subtle nod to traditional Japanese interiors while blending seamlessly with the overall modern aesthetic. The primary suite now features a clean, contemporary backdrop with white walls that brighten the space, creating a feeling of openness and serenity.
