The home building and design industry is filled with endless inspiring designers and builders. One of our favorite developers over the past few years has been Timber Trails Development Company<\/a> of Western Springs, IL. Our jaws drop to the floor every time they reveal a brand-new dream home. Join us as Timber Trails’ lead interior designer, Julie Howard<\/a>, guides us through their latest masterpiece, Refined Rustic. <\/p>\n\n\n

What inspired the overall look and design for Refined Rustic? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Tile is always my starting point. It’s the first item I select for a home, and it sets the tone,” Julie said. “The Annie Selke tile<\/a> used in the basement bath and the laundry room were just introduced by The Tile Shop, and I loved them. They are what set the tone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eye-Catching Entrance<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The entrance of your home should set the tone, and Timber Trails did exactly that. The black features, warm wood flooring and courageous wallpaper greet you with open arms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dining Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Behold, the grand dining room. This stunning space is Julie’s favorite room in the entire house. “It is the first thing you see when you walk in. I love that the white paneled walls are offset by the black ceiling,” Julie said.<\/p>\n\n\n

“When people see a design and say, ‘I never would have done that, but I love it.’ That’s when you know you’ve done your job as a designer.”\u2014Julie Howard, designer for Timber Trails DC<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\n

The hallways in this home stretch as far as the eye can see, connecting you to countless uniquely designed rooms that stimulate and inspire. <\/p>\n\n\n

Laundry Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“We used Annie Selke Ikat Black<\/a> in the laundry room because, to me, a laundry room should be fun. It doesn’t need to match the rest of the house because half of the time the door is closed,” Julie said. “Plus, who enjoys laundry? It’s nice to design a laundry room that makes you smile when you enter.”<\/p>\n\n\n

“I’ve never been scared of black. I painted my first adult bedroom black 20 years ago, and it is still my favorite room I’ve ever designed,” Julie said. “It’s certainly caught on over the years as I’m seeing it on more walls and in more kitchens and baths. Black doesn’t date, and you don’t tire of it.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Victoria Grey marble<\/a> defines luxury. Its versatility and stunning appeal makes it perfect for numerous styles. We especially love the eye-catching stone mosaic<\/a> rug look framed by Victoria Grey stone<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n

Featured: Meram Blanc Tumbled<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

While the tumbled marble softens the space for a traditional feel, the accents of white oak warm up the kitchen for rustic, farmhouse appeal. The sleek counter tops and appliances are incorporated for a flair of contemporary style. What do you get when you unite these amazing designs? The always trendy transitional style<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

If the space wasn’t already perfect enough, the added elements of hygge, like greenery and wood features, add in the perfect sense of comfort. Read our blog post<\/a> on what makes Scandinavian looks so chic! <\/p>\n\n\n

As a member of our Pro Network<\/a>, Timber Trails DC has maintained a strong and meaningful partnership with the Lombard, IL location and store manager, Kevin. Together, Timber Trails DC and Kevin have completed over 40 homes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have a great push and pull. He keeps me in check when I tend to go too far, and he’s on top of everything down to each tile I need,” Julie said. “Kevin makes me feel like I’m his only client, which is great when you call in a bind, which I often do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The marble in the master is so pretty because it is a white marble, but it has a lot of warm tones in it and is different than a white and grey Carrara marble,” Julie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How charming is this beach-inspired Jack and Jill bath? The repetition of the wood-look tiles on the wall and floor create such a pleasing, cohesive look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basement Bath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We end this home tour with one of our favorite spaces in the house: the basement bathroom. This space encompasses the three colors that are used throughout the house: black, white and brown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love the juxtaposition between the black and white<\/a> features in this bathroom. While the patterned floor tile proudly catches your eye, the shower tiles contrast the bohemian pattern with a classic, solid-white subway. Notice the black grout lines in the shower\u2014darker colored grouts<\/a> create more character and add a more pronounced look to the grout joints.<\/p>\n\n\n
