Sometimes, it really is what’s inside that counts. The seventh annual Whole Home—set against the breathtaking canvas of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina—strikes a wonderful balance between striking curb appeal and a breathtaking interior that invites admiration at every turn. This contemporary 4,000-square-foot vacation home perfectly marries modern design with functionality, and what’s more impressive is the exemplary organization that reigns within its many closets and storage spaces.
A Design Masterclass
One of the most captivating aspects of the Whole Home is the commitment to customization and organization. Open any of the home’s numerous closets—such as the primary bedroom walk-in—and you’ll discover a meticulously organized retreat that resembles an art installation as much as a practical space. Featuring custom built-ins from The Container Store’s exclusive Preston collection, these closets elevate both functionality and style, serving as a testament to sophisticated design.
The primary bedroom’s spacious walk-in closet exemplifies how elegant organization can enhance one’s daily life. The blend of beauty and practicality is palpable as beautifully designed shelving and custom cabinetry create an inviting space for relaxation and preparation.
Bedrooms Worth Experiencing
Not content to leave luxury to just living spaces, the designers at Whole Home also ensured that every bedroom space reflected an innovative use of organization and storage. For example, in the guest bedrooms and hallway closets, the integration of The Container Store’s new Décor+ by Elfa system clarifies that even practical spaces can be visually stunning.
These areas feature solid birch veneers, dimmable LED lighting, and sophisticated hardware in brass and brushed silver—creating an aesthetic that is nothing short of impressive. Simple yet effective elements, such as deep drawers with soft-close features, make these spaces not only functional but also a joy to use.
A Beautifully Organized Garage
Traditionally, garages are seen as chaotic spaces where we toss everything from garden tools to sports gear. However, in the Whole Home, the garage is anything but a cluttered mess. Utilizing The Container Store’s Garage+ by Elfa system, the design team created a sleek and functional area.
This garage combines powder-coated steel shelving, rolling cabinets, and accessible pegboards—organizing outdoor equipment and gardening supplies in a way that is as efficient as it is stylish. With a heavy-duty work surface and integrated LED lighting, tackling home projects becomes a convenient pleasure rather than a painful chore.
Bringing It Home: Transform Your Space
The ethos of the Whole Home extends beyond its confines, allowing you to bring the same sense of organization and beauty into your own space. With a wide array of storage solutions available through The Container Store, anyone can transform common areas—from pantries to playrooms. Notably, their free design services enable homeowners to muse over their own views, helping to create spaces that emotionally resonate and function perfectly.
The Organization Revolution
Visiting the Whole Home is not just an experience; it’s an inspiration to rethink how we organize our living spaces. By utilizing smart storage solutions and beautiful pieces like those offered by The Container Store, you, too, can cultivate an environment that feels both luxurious and effortlessly tied together.
In a world where clutter often threatens our tranquility, the Whole Home stands as a beacon of hope, showcasing how we can achieve organization without sacrificing style. So take a cue from this mountainous masterpiece, and remember, sometimes, it really is what’s inside that counts.
