C
hristina Kairis was more than up for the mission
after having worked with the builder before. “These
were new construction townhouses in Longwood.
We did two of them for the builder, the Lincoln and
the Washington. The builder offers these particular models in
several neighborhoods all over Orlando. We have done models
for Park Square Homes for the past year and a half, mostly sin-
gle-family homes, but these were our first townhomes. It was so
fun, but definitely a challenge in a smaller space,” Christina says.
The key was to showcase an example of living smaller —
approximately 1,700 square feet — while still employing good
design elements and Christina achieved this utilizing some
tricks of the trade. “Think outside the box! Just because a space
is labeled a certain way doesn’t always mean it has to be used
that way. Adding details and defining the space can help too. We
did a stained herringbone treatment on the living room ceiling.The Lincoln dining room features a modern farmhouse style
illuminated with a Kichler light fixture. And in the living room,
a soft palette is punctuated with Kichler lighting, Uttermost art
and a Jaipur rug.92 INTERIOR APPEAL | ORANGEAPPEAL.COM
