Six Walls showed off its new location at a grand opening event on the evening of March 12, with clients, designers and guests enjoying a photo booth, wine tasting and food cooked and served in the display kitchens.

Six Walls, a residential design firm, needed an expanded studio to showcase kitchen and bath cabinetry, countertop materials and lighting and plumbing fixtures.

It’s “an environment displaying color, texture, style, pattern all to inspire collaboration with our clients,” and features brands that no one else in the Pacific Northwest does, like German cabinet company Poggenpohl.

Six Walls is celebrating its 11th year in business on Mercer Island. It first operated out of a space in Tabit Square, and focused on retail, furnishing and decor. It then moved to the 77 Central building and is now in The Mercer. The larger location, right across the street, provides more office and showroom space.

Its team of eight designers offer services like kitchen and bath remodel, paint consultations and staging to clients, most of whom live on the Island.

“This is our third location on Mercer Island, and all three have been no more than a block from each other,” said Joe Belcher, marketing consultant for Six Walls. “It’s been really great being on Mercer Island for so long.”

The caterer was Nola Nevers and the winery was Skylite Cellars, Belcher said.

“Thank you to the community of Mercer Island for supporting Six Walls since 2004 and at the grand opening of our new design studio … The positive energy and feel at the grand opening was electric all night,” said Six Walls owner Dawn Wilkinson. “Whether it was a client, potential client, vendor, contractor, architect, friend or family member, all appreciated our non-intimidating and very welcoming presence.”
