Harrison and Clayton Mills are a family of four comprising parents in their mid-thirties, a 12-year-old son, a 10-year-old daughter, and two medium-sized rescue dogs named Elvis and Buford.

Given the family’s active interests in sports and outdoor activities, the Mills also wish to create a living space that can be enjoyed across multiple generations. They envision a minimalistic aesthetic that allows nature to be the focal point, with flexible spaces for year-round entertaining and a seamless flow between the interior and exterior of the home. Sustainability was a top priority throughout the design process, with sustainable construction, materials, and appliances incorporated into the house. Finally, the Mills emphasized the importance of neutral tones to accentuate the home’s large windows and orders.

Here are some examples of my interior design mood boards. These boards are an important tool used by designers to help clients visualize and understand the design schemes proposed by them.
