This moody Memphis home casts a dark, expressive tone that’s juxtaposed with organic silhouettes, clean lines and an abundance of natural light.
Foyer: You’re greeted with stunning textures of stone, metals and woods, combined with a neutral earth-toned color palette. The oversized planter and greenery add an extra warm and welcoming touch.
Living Space: This welcoming room, ideal for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails, features a Currey & Company tete-a-tete to establish two intimate gathering areas. The surrounding neutral furnishings permit conversation-sparking pieces.
Organic Modern Fireplace: Fireplaces elevated with sleek applications of plaster add an organic modern feel to the home. A cedar mantel beam, antique folding screen and rugged medicine chair create contrast against the freshly plastered fireplace wall.
Dining Room: The dining room combines classical architecture with traditional forms to further contribute to the cohesiveness of the overall design.
Office: The clean lines and ample amount of natural light balance out the darker and masculine elements. The intricate details such as the gray paneling, cowhide pillow and vintage-inspired pieces provide a collected yet
cohesive feel.
Primary Bedroom: The primary bedroom’s iron canopy bed draws the eye toward the vaulted ceiling, which features an antique statement chandelier. From Belgian linen to salvaged wood to matte black finishes, rich textures
invite relaxation.
Primary Bath: A custom cabinet by Old City Millwork provides plentiful storage while incorporating a monolithic vanity clad in a seamless slab of Cambria quartz. The tassel-inspired sconce illuminates the stone’s finish while the vintage rug brings warmth to the room’s cool color palette.
Storytelling Through Art: This home’s neutral palette allows guests to be drawn to artwork textures, and one-of-a-kind objects. Every new item is counterbalanced with historically and artisanally inspired pieces. Kirby Woods may share many stories about its owners, but it never takes its narrative too seriously.
