Set against the serene backdrop of the South Puget Sound, this great room renovation focuses on creating a warm, welcoming living space that celebrates the home’s stunning water views while also increasing privacy from nearby neighbors. The design centers around a comfortable, fireplace-focused layout that invites connection—whether it’s for family dinners, game nights, or quiet evenings by the fire.

The homeowner, an interior designer and mom of four, is thoughtfully transforming this home into her personal sanctuary. As the heart of her family’s gatherings, the space needed to feel both functional and deeply comforting—an everyday retreat with room to relax and recharge.

With a design rooted in organic textures and a relaxed West Coast casual style, the room blends boho and Scandinavian influences to achieve a layered, lived-in feel. Inspired by cozy family moments and the muted tones of Pacific Northwest sunsets, the result is a naturally beautiful, soulfully styled space that feels equal parts grounded and light-filled.
