1| Reviving the Heart of the Home: The High-End Kitchen

The kitchen is often the centerpiece of an upscale home, where family and friends gather to share meals, stories, and create memories. A kitchen renovation is an opportunity to blend timeless style with modern convenience. Key elements might include custom cabinetry, a statement island with a sleek marble countertop and state-of-the-art appliances seamlessly integrated into the design.

How We Make It Happen: At Sharp & Grey Interiors, we specialize in managing kitchen renovations, ensuring that every detail aligns with your vision and how you live in your home. We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your style preferences and functional needs. For example, in one of our whole-home projects “Main Line Classic Modern Project,”we reconfigured the entire forest floor to expand and transform an outdated kitchen from the 1960’s into an open, classic space by removing the wall between the original kitchen and dining room. This created a large cased opening that seamlessly connected the living room, effectively doubling the kitchen area.

Now the kitchen footprint has doubled and includes a huge island with seating for six. We added a large bank of windows to bring in all the light, and a timeless blend of soft white cabinetry and white oak, paired with beautiful natural stone countertops, handmade zellige tile, and brass fixtures. By handling all aspects of the renovation—from selecting materials to overseeing construction—we ensure a smooth process from start to finish, resulting in a kitchen that is both sophisticated and functional.

2| Creating Inviting Living Spaces with Modern Touches

Living rooms in elevated homes are known for their inviting atmospheres and sophisticated style. Incorporating elements like custom millwork , a thoughtful floor plan, a statement fireplace, and curated furniture can help you achieve this look. However, balancing these classic features with modern touches—such as unique lighting and quality furnishings—can truly bring a space to the next level..

How We Make It Happen: We understand the importance of blending timeless elements with contemporary convenience. In our full-service design process, we work closely with you to select the perfect mix of materials, colors, and furnishings. For instance, in our “Main Line Classic Modern Project” above, we transformed not only the living room but the entire living space by thoughtfully opening it up to the kitchen and entry to create a bright and welcoming space. Although the living room's size didn't change, our strategic floor plan and carefully chosen furnishings made it feel much larger and more functional.

A mix of a dark casual slip-covered sofa and a more tailored light-colored sofa kept the space feeling collected, and refined yet casual—an inviting area that encourages you to sit and stay awhile. Two beautiful leather swivel chairs added warmth and texture, allowing family members to be part of the conversation in the kitchen. The homeowners wanted to move away from heavy traditional furnishings toward something lighter, welcoming, and more modern. We introduced fresh, clean-lined furniture and soft performance textiles made for families, centered around a classic color palette with pops of warmth.

3| Updating Bedrooms with Sophisticated Design

Custom bedrooms are designed to be serene retreats, combining comfort with a touch of luxury. Key elements might include refined furniture, plush textiles, and a cultured color palette. Integrating modern amenities like custom closets and unique lighting can enhance functionality while preserving the room’s timeless charm.

How We Make It Happen: At Sharp & Grey Interiors, we excel at creating personalized bedroom retreats that blend classic elements  with contemporary functionality. Our design process begins with a thorough design consultation to understand your needs and preferences. 

In a recent project, we revitalized a master bedroom by introducing elements such as  minimalist furniture that offers both simplicity and style. We complemented this Elkins Park home project with a calming color palette to foster a soothing, restful environment, striking the perfect balance between modern functionality and classic style. This approach not only enhanced the room’s look and feel but also ensured it met the practical needs of today’s living. By managing every detail of the design, we ensure the final result is a bedroom that is both stylish and functional, providing a serene retreat tailored to your preferences.

4| Bringing the Outdoors In: Superior Bathroom Design

Beautiful bathrooms often draw inspiration from the natural world, incorporating elements like wood, natural stone, and vintage fixtures to create a space that brings both classic charm and relaxation. Imagine a room with a classic clawfoot tub, a high-quality wood vanity, and natural stone tile that together produce a sanctuary of style and comfort.

How We Make It Happen: Our team at Sharp & Grey is skilled at crafting bathrooms that seamlessly blend natural beauty with modern. Our design process includes everything from selecting the perfect fixtures and material mix, to overseeing construction and installation. For example, in one of our recent projects, we transformed an outdated washroom into a serene modern cottage bathroom by incorporating contemporary tile, shiplap walls, and a custom vanity created by Village Handcrafted, a local Philadelphia favorite. This custom vanity, designed to resemble a piece of furniture, features slab inset drawers that maximize storage in a compact space. Painted in Farrow and Ball Light Gray—a taupe/green/greige hue—it complements the room’s textured surfaces and shades of white, creating a bathroom that feels both inviting and harmoniously integrated with the home’s overall aesthetic.

Our meticulous attention to detail and commitment to innovative design ensures that each bathroom we create is not only visually striking but also functional and tranquil, providing a perfect blend of classic allure and contemporary convenience.

5| Enhancing Curb Appeal with Exterior Updates

The exterior of your home is the first impression it makes on the world, setting the tone for the tasteful design within. Key design elements might include refined siding, an expansive front porch, and a welcoming entrance that creates an inviting atmosphere. To enhance the look, consider adding stylish yet practical features such as sleek light fixtures, contemporary garage doors, and polished metal accents.

Landscaping plays a crucial role as well—incorporate thoughtfully chosen plants, decorative pathways, and well-designed garden beds to seamlessly blend your home with its environment, providing a cohesive and charming appearance. Additionally, attention to detail like custom window shutters, tasteful planters, and a carefully selected door color can further enhance the overall look of your home.

6| Personalizing Your Home with Thoughtful Design Elements
