Your builder has handed you a selections appointment, a thick binder, and two weeks to make every decision that will define how your home looks and feels for the next twenty years. No pressure. If the thought of choosing between 47 shades of white has already stopped you in your tracks — this is exactly where Elm & Ember Interiors comes in.

If you’re building and your selections are starting to feel overwhelming, this modern coastal duplex in Picnic Point shows what happens when everything is designed as a whole. Using a calm palette of white, oak, sage green and brushed brass, this home proves that cohesion isn’t about more choices — it’s about having the right direction from the start.
