Whole Home Design $100K & Below Winner: Kelley Kolettis Designs Facing numerous delays due to the pandemic, Kelley Kolettis and her clients had time to visualize exactly what they wanted for this new-construction home in Conway. The very social family opted for an open-concept floor plan with a connected living room, kitchen, and screened-in back porch that is accessible by large sliding doors across an entire wall. In terms of style, a palette of white, black, gold, and wood became a predominant feature seen throughout the house. The result is a polished, down-to-earth space well-suited to hosting friends and family.
Living Spaces $30K & Above Winner: Elle & Ivy Interiors Having lived in their home for a decade, these clients were ready to update their main living area to make it reflective of their style and more conducive to entertaining. Elle & Ivy Interiors transformed the dated room into a contemporary retreat complete with an electric fireplace with a custom granite surround featuring built-in storage and display space. Luxurious furniture, a dimmable crystal chandelier and coordinating accessories help to convey the clients’ chic yet comfortable style.

Charged with reimagining the home where the client had raised her children for the next phase of life, Casey Sarkin Design rose to the challenge with a renovation of existing spaces as well as an addition. New rooms include two bedroom suites, a family room, enlarged dining room, laundry, and screened-in porch while the renovation also created a better flow between the gathering spaces and raised the ceilings as well. Inspired by the client’s tailored, elevated taste, the entire home is now a refined, welcoming reflection of its inhabitants.
