\u201cIt\u2019s one of the finest primary suites we\u2019ve ever designed,\u201d says Arturo Sanchez of Royal Oak-based Art | Harrison Interiors. He\u2019s referring to a space in an Oakland Township new-build home that he and his business partner, Barry Harrison, designed for a newlywed couple and their blended family.<\/p>\n

Throughout the five-bedroom home, stunning interiors reflect a quiet luxury rooted in simplicity, craftsmanship, and elegance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wife wanted parts of the home to feel like Armani and Dior,\u201d Sanchez says. He describes her as polished, stylish, and classic \u2014 qualities the design team brought to life throughout the home.<\/p>\n

The icing on this interior-design cake is Harrison\u2019s talent for crafting custom-made furniture and art. The designer\u2019s remarkable handiwork shines through a settee in the primary suite, a circular sofa and sculptural installation in the living room, and chic prints in the foyer.<\/p>\n

The couple couldn\u2019t be happier with the finished product. \u201cWhen I look around our home today, I don\u2019t simply see beautiful furniture or finishes,\u201d the wife says. \u201cI see hundreds of conversations, countless shared ideas, and an extraordinary collaboration between our vision and Art and Barry\u2019s talent. They didn\u2019t simply design a beautiful home; they helped us create one that feels unmistakably like us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an insider\u2019s look at the luxe space, from the palette and artwork to the mood.<\/p>\n

\"primaryBest dressed<\/p>\n

The homeowners wanted the primary suite to feel \u201cvery Armani,\u201d Sanchez says. In response, the designer duo whipped up a classic confection of soft bronzes and golds. Art | Harrison Interiors custom-made the bed, settee, and nightstands with bronze mirrored tops. Beautiful accessories include sconces from London and a chandelier from Florence, Italy, that Sanchez spotted while traveling. The bathroom\u2019s custom accent wall features Sicis tiles, each echoing the home\u2019s palette.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suite is incredibly special because it represents exactly what we hoped this home would become,\u201d says the wife. \u201cIt\u2019s elegant without feeling formal, luxurious without feeling overwhelming, and above all, peaceful. At the end of a busy day, it feels like an exhale.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"AnLiving large<\/p>\n

\u201cThe living room immediately says, \u2018This living room is for entertaining!\u2019\u201d Sanchez says. \u201c[The wife] told us she wanted it to exude \u2018Dior.\u2019 So we created that color palette and developed it for the entire house.\u201d<\/p>\n

He and Harrison chose bronze, gold, black, and white to mingle with unique furnishings, like the head-turning circular sectional (designed and built by Art | Harrison Interiors) and the huge sculptural chain element (created by Harrison) hanging by the back window.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clients pushed the boundaries of color,\u201d Sanchez says. \u201cThey wanted cozy but elegant, and we achieved that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"AMaking an entrance<\/p>\n

\u201cThe foyer makes a bold architectural statement, but what I love is that as you move through the house, the spaces become progressively softer,\u201d the wife says. \u201cThe living room introduces curves, texture, and sculptural forms that invite conversation rather than simply admiration. By the time you reach the primary suite, the mood changes completely.\u201d<\/p>\n
