Designer Alisa Arnhalt of Linden Creek Design creates fully lived-in looks for luxury homes on the market, along with stunning designs for homeowners. Lived-in or not, she can make empty homes seem full and warm, and full homes feel personal. “Whether it’s a client’s home or a staging client, I always think about how the space is used. Are there dirty paws and sticky fingers? What are their hobbies? What’s meaningful to them? The answers allow us to make the space livable and get creative with our design. This rustic-traditional home needed a modern edge. Rather than fighting two different design styles, I combined them and created smooth transitions. The dining room started with the rustic bottle chandelier, and we incorporated the modern abstract art pieces along with a rustictraditional color palette of leather and dark wood to marry the two styles.”
