Interior Design Case Study: Limington Next Gen Suite

The Limington project involved designing a multi-functional Next Gen Suite within a newly constructed residence. The primary goal was to transform the space into a comfortable guest room for visiting family members of all ages while adhering to existing architectural elements and budget constraints.

The client requested a design solution that would:

Work within the existing gray wood laminate flooring and bone white walls

Incorporate budget-friendly furniture selections

Feature a neutral color palette with strategic pops of color

Integrate their existing Isamu Noguchi coffee table

Create a welcoming environment for both adult and child visitors

Design Approach

Our approach centered on thoughtful space planning and strategic furniture selection to create distinct functional zones within the suite:

Living & Dining Area

  1. A rust-orange sectional sofa with chaise became the anchor piece, providing comfortable seating while adding a warm, inviting pop of color

  2. The client's sculptural Noguchi coffee table was positioned centrally as a design focal point

  3. A compact round dining table with black chairs created an efficient dining zone adjacent to the kitchenette

  4. A turquoise area rug helped define the living space while adding a refreshing accent color

  5. Patterned pillows in complementary colors added visual interest and comfort

Bedroom Area

  1. A king-sized platform bed maximized sleeping space for guests

  2. Dual nightstands with streamlined designs provided essential bedside storage

  3. Abstract artwork in coordinating colors tied the bedroom area to the main living space

  4. A nut saddle leather accent chair added a warm touch while providing additional seating

Storage Solutions

  1. A media console served double-duty for TV placement and storage

  2. A console table near the entrance created a convenient drop zone

  3. Wall hooks in the laundry area provided practical hanging space

Material & Color Palette

  1. Base: Gray wood laminate flooring and bone white walls (existing)

  2. Primary neutrals: Black, white, natural wood tones

  3. Accent colors: Rust orange, turquoise, mustard yellow, navy blue

  4. Patterns: Geometric prints, abstract art

Visualization Process

The design was presented to the client through:

  1. Detailed floor plans with furniture layout options

  2. A comprehensive mood board showcasing the color scheme and material selections

  3. Budget-friendly furniture selections with dimensions and pricing

  4. 3D rendered perspectives created in Homestyler, showing before and after comparisons

Results

The final design successfully transformed the bare Next Gen Suite into a welcoming, functional space for visiting family members. By carefully selecting furniture pieces that balanced style and budget, we created a cohesive look that incorporated the client's existing Noguchi table as a design highlight. The strategic use of color through the sectional sofa, area rug, and accessories enlivened the neutral backdrop, resulting in a space that feels both contemporary and comfortable.

The project demonstrates how thoughtful space planning and selective furniture choices can create a multi-functional guest suite that accommodates various needs without requiring structural changes or extensive renovations.
