Concepting the interior canvas of a home can be daunting, but not for Lorraine Enwright of Intuitive Dwellings. As the lead finish designer, she curated the distinctive details, such as hardware and lighting, that defined the Serenbe Designer Showhouse. Describing the aesthetic as “transitional modern,” Enwright started by mixing reclaimed and organic materials with modern lines and finishes. “We wanted to capture the casual, artistic design flow of Serenbe with a sprinkle of modern elegance,” she shared. “Reclaimed and natural materials combined with modern forms and finishes create a visual yin and yang of comfort and sophistication.” This creative push and pull is seen in the living room, where a statement steel mantel and beveled quartzite fireplace serves as a sleek counterpoint to reclaimed beams overhead. Enwright also crafted a vignette of smaller pieces to soften the room’s soaring 14-foot ceilings, invoking scale and intimacy. “Mixing a bold, colorful and modern painting with smaller black-and-white framed compositions provided both the drama and the scale that’s perfect to bring the space together,” she says.
