After: Modern Farmhouse Charm

“We capitalized on the natural interior stone walls of this PA farmhouse with neutral upholstery and a one-of-a-kind live edge coffee table. We carry a variety of live edge options. The neutral fabric is a stain resistant performance fabric, and we have thousands of performance fabric options as well.”

This dated breakfast room needed a serious energy boost. Studio 882 designers not only hand-selected the furniture for this room, the team also worked with local contractors to complete the look.

After: The Breakfast (Room) of Champions

“We turned this breakfast room from dated to bold, edgy and beautiful. Studio 882 sourced the furniture, art, mirrors and rugs. Plus our window treatment partner—Christina Price at Main Line Window Decor--custom-made the window treatments.”

After: Schooled in Style

“Studio 882 partnered with a local school to transform their upper school and lower school common areas. We evaluated the latest research into how students work and socialize to design spaces that support innovation, and collaboration, as well as focused work. We used iconic furniture designs in the space to reinforce the idea of innovation.”
