An Incredible Custom Home in Colorado
We brought together the best of modern trends and technology with the timeless appeal of mid-century modern design in this custom Carr Estates luxury home. Highlights include a soaring vaulted ceiling in the great room, anchored by a two-sided fireplace, a dramatic backbone staircase designed as luxury modern floating stairs, and a custom stair handrail crafted by a skilled metal fabricator with a sleek waterfall handrail finish. Smart home touches, such as programmed lighting scenes and creative rope light ceiling ideas, add both style and convenience to the home. Bold choices in the bathrooms showcase some of the best bathroom tile colors, while the outdoor entertaining area was designed for Colorado evenings with a fireplace and space for a future kitchen. This project truly reflects gorgeous, practical luxury.
Mid-Century Modern Vaulted Ceiling and Two-Sided Fireplace
The great room’s vaulted ceiling establishes an immediate sense of openness. Rooted in mid-century modern influences, the soaring structure fills the space with light while keeping the clean lines the homeowner envisioned.
At the center, a two-sided fireplace (or double-sided fireplace) clad in ceiling-height tonal brick divides spaces while tying the entire living area together. Both functional and architectural, it’s one of the home’s most memorable features.
Backbone Staircase and Custom Handrail Details
The home’s backbone staircase, with open risers and treads, creates the look of luxury modern floating stairs. A floating staircase minimizes visual weight and maximizes light, making it the perfect fit for this modern design.
The stair handrail was custom-built by a metal fabricator and finished with a waterfall handrail crafted by the trim carpenter. Together, these details transformed a functional element into a piece of artistry that reflects the home’s mid-century modern aesthetic.
Rope Light Ceiling Ideas and More
Above the dining area, a floating ceiling incorporates rope lighting, a creative interpretation of rope light ceiling ideas. It softens the atmosphere while emphasizing architectural lines.
Throughout the home, the low-voltage electrician programmed lighting “scenes” for different moods. For anyone exploring lighting trends in Denver, this home demonstrates how technology can enhance both convenience and comfort.
Using the Best Bathroom Tile Colors
Bathrooms were designed with intentional pops of color, proving that the best bathroom tile colors don’t have to be muted. Blue, sage, and charcoal selections highlight walls and showers, adding personality without overwhelming the design. These bold choices bring energy and individuality to each bath.
Backyard Entertainment Designs
The patio extends the home outdoors, featuring a fireplace and framework for future upgrades, such as a grill, sink, or beverage center. This outdoor entertaining area was designed as a flexible space that can grow with the homeowners.
As far as backyard entertainment designs go, this one strikes a balance between structure and freedom, ideal for Colorado evenings spent outside.
