Rustic-Modern Gathering Space and office Design

figured mostly interior design you dont have to have all the bells and whistles when it comes to computer work, but I want to be able to fully visually see it. I’m re-imagining an open gathering room that holds a kitchen, bar, and ventless rock fireplace, plus a compact adjoining office. what I need now is a fresh design eye that ties everything together.

Needing an interior designer i believe. I have somewhat one design but want another perspective view.

for the outside of the building i need stain or paint color, any window decor and lighting ideas and if awning is necessary.

For the bar and kitchen zone I picture a western lodge mood—natural wood, stone, and a cozy glow—but I’m equally curious to see how a cleaner, modern twist could look in the office and parts of the main space. Floor stain or paint color, cabinet profiles, shelving layouts, ceiling treatment (spray-in insulation left exposed and painted, or a full rafter cover), lighting layers, and wall colors are all still undecided.- not afraid to repurpose items for the look,

Here’s what I’d like from you:

• Two fully developed concept directions (one heavier on rural rustic, one that blends in modern touches).
• Scaled cabinet, shelf, and bar elevations with material specs.
• Palette boards for floor, wall, and ceiling finishes—including stain/paint names or codes.
• Lighting plan with fixture suggestions and photometric notes.
• Ceiling solution sketches comparing the painted-rafter route to a clad alternative.- leaning hard on spray on insulation on the ceiling as for insulation, can leave it exposed or if you have a better idea.
• A concise office layout showing storage cabinetry that compliments whichever concept wins.
• 3D views or SketchUp/AutoCAD renderings so I can feel the spaces before committing.

I will choose the final direction based on how well it harmonises the fireplace corner, keeps the room feeling spacious, and fits everyday use as a family gathering hub. If you work in SketchUp, Revit, or a similar platform, all the better—I’ll need the source file alongside high-resolution images.

Send over a quick outline of how you’d tackle the brief and samples of similar rustic-modern work you’ve done. I’m ready to move quickly once I see a vision that clicks.
