Mockup → final design

This mountain retreat started as a new build with a clean, neutral palette—and a lot of potential.

Inspired by the Scottish Highlands, classic Americana, and fashion details from designer Paul Smith, we developed a design that felt cozy, collected, and distinctly mountain modern.

To help our client visualize the space before furnishings ever arrived, we created a detailed room mockup showing the layout, colors, and overall design direction.

What made it into the final design? Just about everything.

We introduced deeper, more saturated paint colors to warm up the larger spaces, layered in masculine patterns for character, and finished the room with plush seating, rich textures, and plenty of cozy touches.

The result is a welcoming retreat that's equally suited for family getaways and Airbnb guests.
