An Elegant European Inspired Home in Louisville

Elegant. That’s how I will describe this home. The European inspired home in downtown Louisville is a perfect mixture of elegance and comfort.

This home in downtown Louisville is designed by Journey + Jacobs who have created a beautiful space. They wanted to design rooms that were elegant and glamorous but at the same time warm and comfortable.

The light-filled rooms are decorated with high quality furnishings combined with warm colors in the home decor. This creates the perfect blend of elegant design and cozy spaces

The classic dark kitchen has marble countertops and a large kitchen island. The kitchen reminds me of the kitchen in Athena Calderone’s Brooklyn townhouse

“Every piece of art in the space, including in the entry way gallery wall, was collected from the owner’s life together and their travels around the world”

A complete contrast to the rest of the home is this home office completely painted in a moody green hue. Even the ceiling has been painted to create a perfect green cocoon.

The bookshelves and desk haven been built in and also painted green for a harmonious and uncluttered look.
