Our Take on Outdoor Living + Entertaining

Some of you may recall our Jamestown project from a few sneak peeks we shared on IG after completing our first partial install, but we’ve yet to show you our plans for the outdoor space. With Summertime just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to share ‘a bit Moore’ about this project and our take on creating a successful outdoor space.

A Moore House Spring Closet Refresh

There comes a time every year where we find ourselves wanting to get rid of just about everything in our closets to give ourselves a fresh start.

We’ve gathered our thoughts on all things closets to create a guide to cleansing your closet and wardrobe for the season featuring tons of shoppable links to what we’re loving, and bit on how our design team goes about designing dream-worthy closets.

The Colonial Modernist Reveal

Brimming with charming details like smoky black cabinetry, textural brick walls, and modernized colonial details, we completely transformed this space for our clients. Here on the east coast, our interiors are usually not the largest in square footage so it’s imperative that we meticulously consider the flow, and functionality of each space within a complete design. After reading that, it won’t come as a surprise that many of our clients find themselves needing more space!! With their growing family, our young clients came to us in search of a harder working, more open-concept floor plan filled with smart storage and charm-filled, modern accents. Our signature style here at Moore House Design is what we like to call “broody'“ which if you’re unfamiliar is the yummy combination of moodiness and brightness in a space. The perfect balance of these elements creates a space that feels relaxed, modern, and rich in character.

As you’ve probably noticed by now, we do things a little differently around here! Antiques and designer pieces are the love language of our interiors. Antiques are the backbone of our practice here at Moore House Design. Naturally, we focus on sourcing only the best of the best which is a painstaking process. Roundtop is our first stop other than sourcing directly from the European market. We've rounded up some tricks of the trade as well as some of our favorite spots and finds from our time in Texas.

The Lowdown on Reupholstery and Upcycling

You’ve probably heard us on Instagram tout reupholstering pieces as more sustainable than shopping new. Sustainability is at the core of what we do here at Moore House Design so with each project we take on, we make an effort to incorporate environmentally friendly and sustainably sourced pieces — often coming in the form of refurbished antiques. If the opportunity to restore a piece by reupholstering it presents itself, nine times out of ten we’ll do it… and here’s the lowdown on the practice.

Our Favorite Vintage Rugs & Buying Tips

It’s no secret that vintage rugs are a key component to creating the layered interiors you’ve come to expect from Moore House! We believe that the beautiful pieces in homes should feel collected and emotionally significant—objects that you’ve gathered during travels or items that spark a memory and have an emotional component. Rugs are one of the many ways we achieve that feeling in a room.

How We Do Holidays at Moore House

Holidays around here are just what you’d expect, merry and slightly minimal, just like the rest of our aesthetic. But don’t get us wrong, just because it doesn’t look like Santa’s workshop exploded, doesn’t mean we don’t love adding seasonal decorations to all of our cottages. Try some of these ideas in your own home, you’ll love them, we promise.
