Naturals, Neutrals, Vibrant Artworks and Vintage Classics Make a Strong Statement in this Modernist Home

Written by Karen Darlow  

A dated Texas ranch is revitalized with striking interior design features and South American midcentury modern classics.

It was the classic 1970s-style Dallas ranch. Single story, with a split-level, sunken living room and a challenging and sprawling floorplan, the house design and original footprint lent itself to a much more inspiring reinterpretation. The homeowners, originally from Mexico, had spent many years in Brazil and were looking to inject their new US home with some of the warmth and richness they'd loved in South America.

Interior designer Joshua Rice was entrusted with transforming the home, opening it up, bringing in the light, and creating the perfect backdrop for their vibrant artworks and modernist furniture and furnishings. He shows us round, picking out some of the highlights below .

'The clients wanted a home with generous space and lots of light similar to modern structures in Brazil,' says interior designer Joshua Rice. 'Even though the original house they first saw pre-renovation was much more closed in, they could see the potential it had due to its sprawling, single-story layout which wrapped along a creek; something very unusual for Dallas.'

Entryway ideas are light and spacious, and with a view to the kitchen beyond there's a sense of connection with the rest of the home from the get-go. Displayed on neutral walls, the artworks by Pago Mann (left) and Mr Brainwash inject welcome color and a sense of fun.
