"Nothing is impossible. The word itself says 'I'm possible!’"
Audrey Hepburn
Summer is officially here! With gardens in full bloom and beautiful mellow weather, we’re so excited to embrace the tenants of indoor-outdoor design. Whether through creating private magical outdoor patio set-ups or staging interior rooms with fresh florals and with an eye toward maximizing natural sunlight, Nob Hill Style is inspired by the natural beauty of your property and the surrounding area to create a uniquely designed space with an elevated organic touch.
Flower Power
Working with silk florals and plants, Nob Hill Style thoughtfully selects varieties of flowers and botanicals to reflect what is currently blooming around the city. We are transitioning out the blooming branches of spring for lush florals and plenty of greenery as summer warms up!
Design Tips: Floral Arrangements
Nob Hill Style designer Hannah Larson worked as a professional florist for many years and she has good tips for anyone wondering where to start. “When arranging flowers, whether faux or real, cut your stems at varying heights and arrange them so each bloom has room to breathe. This creates depth and an elevated feeling even with simple blooms! ” Hannah advises. “Right now I'm taking a lot of inspiration from all the yucca in bloom around the city!”
Neighborhood Spotlight: Medina
Nominated as one of the top ten best suburbs to raise a family, in Washington state, this quiet neighborhood has a peaceful rural feel despite the easy access to Bellevue and the amenities of city life. Less densely populated than other Seattle neighborhoods and with larger-than-average homes and gardens, this area strikes a perfect balance between privacy and community by maintaining several excellent public parks and a reputation for high-quality local amenities.
Monthly Spotlight: Medina Waterfront Property
Listed by Anne Willoughby Nelson, our house spotlight this month is a sprawling 5 bed 7 bath 9,300 sq ft home with an attached mother-in-law unit, separate guest house, pool pavilion, and lush landscaping alongside the beautiful Lake Washington waterfront. We fell in love with the formal dining room—that subtle iridescent wallpaper!—and the living room of the main house. With a stunning west-facing view and floor-to-ceiling glass doors, this space was the epitome of indoor-outdoor luxury! We staged both rooms with a clean, neutral color palette, adding white flowers and fresh greenery to compliment the beautiful view. We were particularly pleased with how the black-and-white Picasso print and striped geometric rug added a modern twist to the classic architecture of the room!
