Transitional Dining
Room Design

When RCQ Design was tapped to transform the dining room of this stunning lakefront summer home, the mission was clear: create a room that could hold its own between two distinctly designed spaces — the vibrant kitchen and the light, airy great room — while still feeling entirely unique and deeply personal. It quickly became one of Rina’s (RCQ’s principal designer) favorite rooms in the home.

Outdoor Oasis by the Lake

When our clients approached us with their vision for their summer home, the goal was clear: create a luxurious yet warm and welcoming outdoor space tailored for family gatherings—grandchildren included—and designed to celebrate the beauty of lakefront living. They wanted an environment where summer memories could be made, rain or shine.

Lakefront Foyer Design

At RCQ, every project we undertake is driven by a unique vision, and this lakefront home was no exception. From the very first conversation, the client’s directive was clear: the house needed a “welcoming handshake.” It had to instantly greet guests with warmth while also offering an unobstructed view straight through to the lake beyond. The design needed to feel inviting, upscale, and elevated—making an elegant statement without ever feeling stuffy or overdone.

Whimsical Music Room

In a world where many clients lean toward the safe and neutral, designing this custom interior music room was a rare opportunity to go bold, break rules, and let creativity run wild. From the very beginning, the goal was clear: to craft a vibrant, eclectic, and soulful space that would serve as a sanctuary for music, meditation, and imagination. A room not just for sound, but for spirit.

Modern-Traditional Kitchen Designed for Connection

Every project begins with a vision. For this summer home’s kitchen, the goal was clear: create an inviting, warm, and functional space that serves as the heart of the home. The clients, a family with young grandchildren, wanted a place where generations could gather, connect, and celebrate. With extended family in mind, the kitchen had to cater to large holiday events and foster moments of intimacy all at once.

Epic Basement
Entertainment Room

When RCQ Design took on the challenge of transforming a basement into a multi-functional entertainment haven, the mission was clear: create a space that invites joy, togetherness, and a little friendly competition. But as the design unfolded, what emerged was something more than just a basement—it became a multi-generational retreat, blending sophistication with play, and modern aesthetics with personalized functionality.

Lively Large-Scale Kitchen Remodel

A lively and modern kitchen can completely transform the way a family lives and entertains, and for one family of five, that transformation was brought to life by the expert interior designers at RCQ Design. Faced with an outdated and cramped layout, the team reimagined the space, turning it into a showstopping kitchen with savvy gadgets, high-end appliances, and enough room to entertain guests comfortably.

Transitional-Modern Kitchen

For Principal Designer Rina Capodieci-Quinn, the kitchen is more than just a place for cooking; it’s the heart of the home.
