Sometimes what you need can’t be bought. Inspired by the naturally drying flowers of fall, Studio IQL Principal Val Nehez in collaboration with CP Lighting created this custom light fixture for Roots Natural Kitchen location in Fairfax Virginia.

We started by cutting old growth wisteria vines and letting them sit overnight in a convenient rain storm so that they would be pliable enough to bend around the light rods. We used a thick gauge copper wire to sculpt the vines. We gave a little play in the wire so that the wood would have room to expand and contract with change in temps and as it ages.

After the fixture was filled with the perfect amount of foliage, we finished it off with a spritz of Aqua Net hair spray. If it can hold a beehive hairdo, we thought it would help hold our natural creation.

Autumn inspires us with its textures: twisting vines, fading blooms, golden light. Our Roots Fairfax project embodies that. With a fixture that captures that rhythm of the season. These are the projects that get our blood pumping with natural elements, creative problem-solving, and a result that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

If cozy had a look, this would be it. Our Landenberg project is warm and made for real life, even with its spacious, open design.

The things you want to reach out and touch.

Glossy tile against warm wood. Worn leather beside polished brass. Velvet, woven textiles, carved antiques, smooth stone.

Throughout Rittenhouse, Collected, texture does as much work as color. Materials with different ages, finishes and origins are layered together, giving a once-standard condo a sense of depth and history.

Because a room doesn’t just need to look interesting. It should feel interesting, too.

Deep oxblood. Olive velvet. Warm wood. Aged brass.

In our Rittenhouse, Collected project, a deep oxblood wall, olive velvet chairs, sculptural brass lighting and oversized art transform the dining area into its own intimate destination.

In an open-plan apartment, sometimes all it takes is a shift in color to create the feeling of another room - without adding a single wall.

Rich and earthy, but never heavy. And this time of year, it feels especially right!

Excited to show a new project: Rittenhouse, Collected.

Our clients came to this Rittenhouse condo with an eclectic collection shaped by years of travel - art, antiques, objects and pieces with stories to tell. Our job was to create a home where all of it could belong.

Against the backdrop of a fairly run-of-the-mill city condo, we layered rich color, warm woods, sculptural lighting and furnishings from different eras, allowing their collection to give the space its character.

The result is worldly, personal and anything but expected—a home that feels collected over a lifetime rather than designed all at once.

A dream kitchen shouldn’t be someone else’s dream kitchen.

For this Narberth home, we started by looking at how our client actually lives: what stays on the counter, where she drinks her morning coffee, what she reaches for every day, how she cooks, and what deserves to be displayed.

From there came a kitchen that feels entirely her own: buttery yellow cabinetry, a blue checkerboard floor, 1930s-inspired details, a Dutch door made from the home’s existing door, and storage designed around real life rather than simply filling every available wall.

The result is colorful, functional, and deeply personal.

We’re thrilled to see the project featured in Realtor.com’s One-Room Renos series, where Val talks through the decisions, details, budget, and thinking behind the transformation.

Bainbridge St. before & after ➝
When Frank + Genny found this Philly home, the natural light and rooftop views were irresistible, but the layout? Not so much.
Challenge: A powder room opening right into the living room and a pantry lit like a convenience store.
Solution: We reoriented the powder room and added a connecting hallway, creating a clean sightline from kitchen window to French doors.

From dated and developer-grade to thoughtful, functional, and full of light.

One small reconfiguration, a huge transformation.
