Designing with Intention: Crystal Smith for Bittners

In this thoughtfully designed home, Crystal Smith of Bittners demonstrates her gift for blending elegance with livable comfort. From the very beginning, the most rewarding part of the project was the collaboration; working closely with the client to translate their personal style into a space that feels authentically their own. 

The interiors unfold in a palette of moody blue-gray walls, which set a refined backdrop that is both intimate and restful. Neutral textiles in charcoal, gray, and soft off-white fabrics on bedding and upholstery keep the rooms cohesive and serene, while warm wood tones in the bed frame, furniture legs, and side tables add depth and contrast. Layered throughout are rugs from Anabel’s, grounding each space with texture and warmth. 

Furnishings from Baker (including the sofa, swivel chairs, and a striking marble table) anchor the living areas, while the primary bedroom features a neutral Phillip Jeffries grasscloth wall covering, a Baker bed, chair, and bench, and a custom Bittners console. A commissioned artwork of the client’s mother adds a personal touch, turning the room into a sanctuary that balances sophistication with heart. 

Crystal’s approach showcases not only her skillful use of color, texture, and form, but also her dedication to creating interiors that resonate with the lives of the people who inhabit them.
