If you're a fan of crisp whites, sunshine shades, or neutral schemes, then proceed with caution. This moody, gothic-inspired space represents everything you're not, but it could be enough to entice you to the dark side.
An earthy palette, dark wood tones, and dramatic features have turned this once drab and dated Virginia home into a seriously sensational space that screams luxury. The 15,000-square-foot Spanish revival home in Great Falls, Virginia was originally built in 1985, and the new homeowners
wanted to simplify some of the gothic elements from previous owners while simultaneously infusing a more contemporary touch. The result is a striking space full of contrasting tones that draw you in.
'When they purchased the home, it was a bit over the time in a traditional French style that didn't feel authentic to who they are,' explains Ann Gottlieb, the principal designer behind the project. 'They gravitated towards dark and moody, contrast and drama, and loved the idea of Spanish Revival meets Gothic.' Here, we take a closer look inside the elevated modern home and learn how Ann transformed the space.
