Forever obsessed with this ping pong paddle display in the #CanyonCool game room 🙌🏼🏓

Each paddle was left blank so kids, friends, and family can paint and customize them over time. Turning this wall into a living art display that will fill up with the best memories, inside jokes, and probably a few questionable artistic choices (the best kind).

A little less “art installation,” a little more “life happening”... Ya feel?

If you’re going to splurge anywhere, make it here 🙌🏼

Natural stone brings depth, movement, and soul that manufactured materials just can’t replicate. No two slabs are the same, which means your space instantly becomes one of a kind. Yes, it’s an investment. But in the right place, a statement stone becomes the focal point that anchors the entire design and elevates everything around it. This is where splurging actually makes sense.

Here are 10 natural stones we love when impact is the goal 👇🏼

• Calacatta Turquoise *Pictured*
Bold veining with rich blue-green movement. Dramatic, artistic, and absolutely unforgettable.

• Calacatta Monet
Soft violet veining with warm undertones. Feels romantic and elevated without screaming for attention.

• Bianco Lassa Macchia Vecchia
High contrast and bold. Stark black and white veining that adds drama but still feels timeless.

• Aqua Quartzite
Fresh, bright, and surprisingly versatile. Delivers color while still reading clean and refined. One of our most viral slabs we’ve ever used!

• Patagonia Quartzite
Edgy, crystalline drama. This one is pure wow factor and works beautifully as a focal surface.

• Lilac Marble
Elegant and unexpected. Subtle purple veining that feels delicate but powerful all at once.

• Pink Patagonia Quartzite
A softer, warmer take on Patagonia. Feminine, bold, and a true conversation starter.

• Polaris Quartzite
Cool-toned with strong movement. Great for modern spaces that still want texture and depth.

• Pyrite
Moody, metallic, and edgy. Perfect when you want something dark, bold, and unapologetic.

• Mosstone Quartzite
Earthy and organic with incredible texture. Feels grounded, natural, and quietly dramatic and colorful.

A statement stone doesn’t need to be everywhere. It just needs to be right. Save this post for your next build or remodel! ✨

Hot take 🔥 Open floor plans aren’t the problem… unintentional design is.

Open floor plans aren’t going anywhere. They’re functional, great for hosting, feel spacious, and honestly… our clients still love them 🙌🏼

What does go wrong is when everything blends together with no structure, no hierarchy, and no purpose.
Here’s how we design open floor plans that actually feel intentional 👇🏼

✨ Create visual divides
Rugs and flooring transitions are your best friends. They quietly define each space without closing anything off. No walls needed.

✨ Lower the kitchen ceiling
Thinteriordesigntips #openfloorplan #kitchendesign #homedesigninspo #designadviced. A lowered ceiling creates intimacy, eliminates that awkward dead space above cabinets, and visually separates zones in the best way.

✨ Layer your lighting
One giant fixture won’t cut it. Use a mix of pendants, recessed, and decorative lighting to anchor each area and signal how the space is meant to be used 💡

✨ Stop matching everything
Every zone doesn’t need to be identical. Let each area have its own personality while staying cohesive through materials, tones, and scale.

A great open floor plan feels connected, not chaotic. When each space has a clear role, the whole home works better.

Save this for later ✌🏼🤍

A lil’ PSA from the #CanyonCool theater 🍿🎥⬇️

Your theater seating does NOT need to be black leather.
Your theater carpet does NOT need to be neutral.
And if there’s one room in the house with limited opportunities for creative expression… why on earth would you play it safe??

This space was the perfect spot to go all in. Bold seating, bold pattern, and zero interest in being subtle. Because you’re gonna sit in a room for hours and hours, you might as well do it in a room you think is suuuper rad ✌🏼🙂‍↕️

A kitchen can be stunning and still be wildly frustrating to use. Here’s why 👇🏼

A functional kitchen isn’t about cramming in more cabinets or chasing trends. It’s about how your body actually moves through the space day after day.

Kitchen layout rules we never skip:

• The work triangle matters
Your range, sink, and fridge should form a triangle, ideally 5–10 feet apart, with no major traffic cutting through it. If you’re dodging people while cooking, the layout is already failing.

• Create clear work zones
Cleaning, cooking, prep, and storage should each have their own zone. Group appliances, drawers, and cabinets by task so you’re not zig-zagging across the kitchen just to make dinner.

• Landing space is non-negotiable
You need room to set things down. Plan for 12–24 inches of clear space on each side of the range and about 36 inches around the sink for prepping and plating.

• Island flow over island size
Leave 42–48 inches of circulation space around the island. Islands should be at least 3 feet deep, with 12–25 inches of overhang if you’re adding stools. Bigger isn’t better if you can’t move.

• Think in secondary zones
Coffee stations, snack drawers, pantry prep areas… keeping like items together (even outside the main kitchen) makes everything run smoother.

A kitchen that works well feels effortless. And when the layout is right, everything else falls into place.

Save this for later… your future self will thank you 🤍✌🏼
