The Desert Oasis Show House
Huma Sulaiman loves herself some custom pieces, and you know how we love ourselves some custom projects! Together, we teamed up to create the perfect (read: badass) mural for Design Collaborative USA’s Desert Oasis Show House this past April.

It started with tile samples from Huma’s team - an emerald green tone that she wanted to match using our Cuff Studio Terrazzo design in the office powder room. A few layouts, color modifications, and scale adjustments later - the final strike off was approved and we were in production creating the mural for install. We’re quick like that, yunno?

The 4,350-square-foot Indian Wells show house overflowed with Mid-Century Modern design and beautiful views of the valley. Designers, vendors and guests flowed throughout the house while live music played and hors d'oeuvres were served. We quite enjoyed the coconut mojitos. We also Lyft-ed home, not to worry.

Upon entering the office, you were struck by Huma’s sleek and unique tactile design. Huma managed to strike a balance between classic Mid-Century design with modern finishes and touches. Details are not lost on her, and the office powder was no exception.

Warm wood tones and metallic finishes perfectly complemented the mural’s dramatic presence, and the shower tiles’ cool emerald tone. Black countertops and plans added a bit of variety, and the statement mirror truly rounded out the space. The mural was a statement.
We loved talking to the guests about the mural process, and how yes, indeed, that is wallpaper. Custom products can seem daunting to people unfamiliar with the process - but we pride ourselves on simplifying the process for our clients and bringing unparalleled quality to their projects. And to their clients.
The Grand Opening party presented by Pirch was a smash, ending on a note of philanthropy as the show house raised thousands of dollars benefiting three charities in the area: FIND Food Bank, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Special Olympics SoCal. You know that spoke to us, as our Cuff Studio wallcoverings give back to Downtown Women’s Center and Planned Parenthood in LA. The event touched many lives directly, and indirectly, and we’re proud our work was part of it. It truly was as easy as Dream It, Design It, Install It (and drool over it.)
