There is a heartfelt journey, a hand to redesign, and a ‘full house’ to renovate
Ding Dong — The Moore House Design Team has arrived!
Our recently relocated clients sought to breathe new life into their previously rented DC row house. They envisioned a haven for their bustling family, a place that felt familiar and comforting during the extensive renovations on their larger residence.
With just seven months to redesign, refresh, and furnish this project, our team embraced the challenge with creativity and zeal. Our dedicated project management and design teams oversaw every aspect, from conceptualization to custom fabrication and installation. Our amazing clients were decisive and made for seamless project.
‘Our mission was to create a space that seamlessly blended the charm of its historic surroundings with contemporary elegance and functionality.’
Our endeavor unfolded as an eclectic European-inspired transformation of a 2,500 sq ft Modern Victorian row house set in the heart of Logan Circle — a canvas waiting to be adorned with comfort and worldly charm. Each room received special attention, ensuring its unique character contributed to an overarching aesthetic, making the home feel collected from family heirlooms and fresh in perspective. Join us as we explore this enchanting transformation where history meets modernity.

— THE LIVING ROOM —
The clients fell in love with our Bromley Sofas, part of our new furniture line, while staying at one of our family’s guest cottages in Maine. They were particularly taken with our signature fabrics and the exceptional comfort of the Bromley sofas. This wasn't their primary residence, so we aimed to create a balanced design that mixed high and low elements.
To achieve this, we incorporated a jute rug as a budget-friendly find paired with a luxurious bone-inlay checkered lamp as a splurge. We also revitalized family heirlooms, including an early campaign chair. The classic bay window poised the perfect place for a spot of chess. We wanted to bring the outside in with a custom stone game table surrounded by our client's grandmother’s dining chairs and layered with floor-to-ceiling drapery in a classic Rose Tarlow stripe.
Our goal was to infuse a touch of DC glamour while maintaining a sense of lightness. The addition of an edged glass coffee table and 18th-century French mirrors, collected during our travels, perfectly captures this essence. The result is a thoughtfully curated space that exudes both elegance and comfort.

— THE DINING ROOM —
We decided to repurpose an old cabinet from the client's previous home, originally removed to make way for built-ins. After repainting it, we transformed it into a stylish display cabinet beside the fireplace, showcasing an array of knickknacks collected by the clients during their travels. To complement this, we added a VV Cinquanta suspension light by Astep from Rewire LA Lighting, which provided a playful touch that balanced beautifully with a late 18th-century French mirror over the fireplace.
A custom Roweam Peg table, set to launch this fall, became a focal point in the room. We also reupholstered some chairs in a sophisticated two-tone design featuring leather seats and fabric backs. Additionally, we sourced a fun and unique piece, the Taliesin Chair by Frank Lloyd Wright, upholstered in British wool houndstooth fabric.

— THE DAUGHTER’S ROOM —
The daughter envisioned a room that felt like an enchanting Garden of Eden, bursting with vibrant colors. To bring her dream to life, our design team crafted a simple yet elegant canopy bed adorned with custom hand-stamped drapes. The bed features a Victorian-influenced headboard, complemented by mix matched English pine side tables.
To add a touch of timeless charm, we layered the side tables with a 1950 Erik Warna Gk14 Lamp.

The result is a whimsical, colorful retreat that perfectly captures the essence of an idyllic garden sanctuary.

For the furnishings, we chose budget-friendly rugs from Nordic Knots and Parachute bedding, ensuring comfort without compromising style. We customized a headboard and drapery to match the room's aesthetic. Our creative director, Blair Moore, added a personal touch by spontaneously creating a large art piece for the wall during the installation, adding a unique and dynamic element to the space.
