My client was looking for a perfect lot to build their custom home for their growing family and found it in the Brookmont area of Bethesda, MD. They want the space to feel sophisticated, yet comfortable and inviting.

The first floor open space consists of the family room, the dining room and the kitchen. The expansive sectional seating arrangement in the family room was a deliberate choice, providing an ideal setting for family gatherings and leisurely moments, enhanced by the inclusion of a custom upholstered ottoman designed to accommodate their young children’s active play.

The design aesthetic we pursued is one of timeless elegance, infused with subtle usage of accents of color, pattern and chinoiseries inspired accessories. Traditional coffered ceilings seamlessly merge with transitional-style crown moldings, harmonizing beautifully with the shaker-style cabinetry and the light tones of white oak flooring. The judicious use of black metal accents, seen from window mullions, decorative lightings, cabinet pulls, and plumbing fixtures, further adds touch of contemporary sophistication.

TESTIMONIALS

"Esther has been a pleasure to work with... Her professionalism, design sense, and organizational skills are top notch. She has an extensive network of furniture, fabric, and lighting contacts and has made the design process for my new build as seamless as it could be. Even though the house is "done", I'm still working with Esther on several smaller projects to put the finishing touches on and have recommended her to other friends that need design help. You won't be disappointed!"

"I have worked with Esther at Mudan Interior Design on several projects now. She is wonderful to work with, very detail oriented, thorough, and has a great design aesthetic. And she is great with follow up and is always very reachable. I wish all designers were as professional as Esther!"

"Working with Esther made our kitchen and master bathroom renovation a breeze. She was great at honing in on exactly what we like stylistically and prompted us to think about functional issues as well. Needless to stay we love the result."

"...I know when I like something, but am not good at putting it all together... From start to finish, she listened to what we were trying to do and sometimes even extracted what I did not know we wanted... Esther made me think about how the design would grow with our family. She is just so pleasant and professional in all of her interactions. Even as we navigated the usual contractor hiccups, she coached me through from beginning to end, stopping in, looking at progress photos. She was so responsive as I stressed about timelines..."
