Impulse Buying : Shelley at Adorn Design Group Talks About the Three M’S When Measuring Sofa’s.
Picking A Sofa Is Simple Right? You See A Sofa Online Or In A Store And Boom ! It’s Love At First Sight Or Sit, If I May .
Actually for most of us picking a sofa is like walking into the stroller section of a babies r us store. Have you ever been to B.R.U to pick out a stroller? Horrifying just saying. Honestly there’s really no right or wrong style when it comes to sofa’s so take a breath and try not to get too overwhelmed.
Ok, some special finds this week. Console table by Hooker Furniture. Olive jars are compliments of Global Views. Art work and accessories coming in from Howard Elliott. Take a peak.
OK, I’ll be honest I’m really not over the whole wallpaper thing. As a matter of fact, I try to incorporate it into every one of my designs. If done right, wallpaper can be just as effective in achieving that wow factor as that great chandelier or that heirloom anchor piece everyone sees when they first walk into the room.
It’s an add to cart kind of day. Check out these little finds in todays “ On the hunt for awesomeness”. I’ll take one of everything please.
Mid Century Modern is still considered one of the greatest influencers of modern interiors. This Iconic look became famous by combining urban decor with natural materials, exposed woods, earthly hues and natural lighting.
It’s important when designing MidCentury to incorporate sleek silhouettes. Find pieces with clean lines, urban vibes and tapered legs.
Lets explore this Mid Century Modern design I did this summer as we go from a simple inspirational drawing to a 3D render to final project proposal.
Follow along if you’re looking for guidance to achieving this BOLD and textured look in your home.
Color can be one of the most important conversations you have with your clients, of course everything else matters too right down to the curb appeal. Once a client selects a color palette the mood has been set and everything else can fall into place more easily. With so many gorgeous colors to choose from, selecting the perfect color can be difficult and confusing.
Almost every home I’ve ever design has that space! That little cove hidden somewhere in the corner of your home screaming Help Me!!
You know that junk drawer in your kitchen? Well bookshelves that are not given the proper attention can over time look like that junk drawer that needs a good cleaning out.
Recently I participated in a One Room Challenge hosted by media partner Better Homes and Garden. As a guest participant I took on the challenge of completing a design project from measurement take off to install and reveal. I had 8 weeks to complete the task and present to the client and Better Homes and Garden.
Coastal Chic is one of the most soothing design styles today. With soft simple colors, luxury finishes, linen fabrics and distressed woods. Trending to be one of the fastest growing decorating styles, Coastal Chic reaches far inland as more and more of us are incorporating natural materials and fabrics into our home and everyday life.
Who doesn’t want to feel like they are coastal living everyday! Need a room to escape to the sea even for a moment. I found these gems will do the trick, even if we have to pretend.
