Jaclyn Genovese of Spaces by Jacflash's own Home

Spaces by Jacflash transformed this once claustrophobic, living and dining room into an open and airy, gorgeous living space. We removed a dated plate rail that had made the the ceilings feel very low. We also removed the stair wall, exposed the brick and hid a bulkhead by transforming it into a feature to accentuate our new crown moulding.

Spaces by Jacflash custom designed these modern, matte black windows and added some Parisian style moulding to give the room additional glamour and character. Installing wide plank, white oak floors, a large patina mirror and a custom slatted stair guard to elongate the ceilings, all make the space feel more open and grande. The french style panels are one of our favourite aspects of the space, as we love that they add architectural interest to the room and make the space feel classic.

The patina mirror was inserted into one of the panels to accentuate the mouldings and to make them look original, adding to the Parisian loft feel we were going for. For lighting, we used a large crystal chandelier that we contrasted with brand new modern pendants in both the hall and living area. These two pendants are completely different styles, but they are both dark to match the new windows and to add a more masculine touch to the space. We also painted the exposed brick white, to contrast with the sleek stairs.

The overall concept of this space was to combine and craft together various styles of design, including Parisian, classic, modern and industrial to create an alluring and refined space.
