Modern Simplicity, Lived in Warmth.

When Birch + Dune Design Co. was approached to remodel, and design, an older home to be utilized as a short term rental property, we knew what a fun opportunity this would be. The client wanted a home that combined clean, modern lines with cozy farmhouse touches to create a space that felt bright, comfortable, and ready for the next family to stay in and make memories together. Warm wood tones and patterned tile add character and charm, while crisp whites and black metal accents keep everything feeling fresh and timeless. By utilizing natural textures, greenery, and simple styling we made each room feel welcoming and effortless—proof that modern design can still feel like home.

A small, but functional,

kitchen.

This kitchen proves that thoughtful design makes all the difference. Bright white cabinetry and an abundance of natural light create an open, airy feel, while warm wood accents and patterned tile infuse character and charm. Every detail was chosen with intention—from the brass hardware to the clean, simple styling—resulting in a space that’s as practical as it is beautiful.

Bedroom retreat.

A quiet room to get away from it all. This bedroom pairs crisp white bedding with deep green accents for a look that’s calm, simple, and timeless. The upholstered bed frame adds a touch of comfort, while soft textures and natural light make the space feel restful and inviting—a perfect spot to slow down and recharge. As requested by the client, a built-in closet and work area were custom designed to fit perfectly in the space.

With limited square footage, every inch of this home had to be thoughtfully designed to make the most of the space. Our goal was to ensure that families staying here would have room to stretch out, play, relax, and truly enjoy their time together. Smart layout choices, multi-functional furnishings, and cohesive design details helped create a home that feels open, welcoming, and perfectly suited for memorable stays.
