All in Interior Design
COVID 19 has for sure changed how we live, work and prosper…. Many of us have become inventive as to how to survive under the new stay at home regulations and rules. Everything is about keeping us safe and healthy, keeping our distance from others and being scrupulously aware of our surroundings and not touching areas that have come in contact with many hands.
So the inspiration behind this design was this magnificent painting by European Artist Isabellemenin. Can we not agree that the colors in this painting are quite spectacular! This to me is not your “every day artwork” but truly a one of a kind masterpiece.
When I get to design a space that is horse themed I get all giddy …Pardon the pun!! Maybe because my daughter who is now away at college loved horses and many fond memories of riding horses with her cousins on her Aunt and Uncles Ranch in Medford, OR.
E-Design has become extremely popular these days, and then again it is still a relatively unknown option when you are considering redecorating your home. Let’s face it, when you are thinking about decorating, yes, you surf through the usual websites like Google and Pinterest to get some inspiration and design style ideas, then peruse the dozens of furniture stores to try to replicate, but do you really consider designing online?
Although my niche design style is more of a classic, refined and sophisticated nature, I do like to dabble in mid-century modern and Industrial styled designs. They couldn’t be more different, but there is an element to this design that I find so appealing. I love the simple polished look of Classic design, nothing is too fancy or decorative, just simple clean lines and calming touches, much like you might see in some mid-century or minimalist designs.
There is such a demand for home office design in that many are choosing and/or required to work from home at the moment during this extremely unprecedented time! Being that an office is extremely personalized to the needs of the individual user or to that of the business itself, it requires you to spend some considerable time working in it. So with that said, try to make it inviting, pleasing to the eye and comfortable. Consider creating a space that you truly enjoy going to every day, rather than a lonely sterile cubicle space!
The key to minimalist decor is to keep the design simple and the color palette neutral and light. This design style is considered by those who are looking to live life simply but comfortably with less clutter and minimal possessions. So if you like a design that is bright and sparsely decorated with maybe a hint of an accent color for warmth, then this design style is right up your alley!
The rugged nature and look of Industrial Style Design is so stylish in many ways and one of my favorite designs to simulate. The cool use of raw materials and unfinished decor pieces can be quite creative and very personalized, in that there are no two designs that look exactly alike as you are using old, vintage and repurposed pieces. Pieces that you might have found in a garage or estate sale, an old stove, a rusty piece of farming machinery, vintage signs and tools, anything that is unfinished and connects you in a way with past events.
Calming Coastal Bedroom Retreat, how can one not associate Coastal Design with a tranquil, calming, serene feel.
This is by far one of the most requested designs living in California other than California Casual if you happen to live a little inland or you are not entirely sold on tropical palm designs, rattan and sisal accents. Each to their own:-) However, summer is upon us as we gear up for sunny skies, warm temps, trips to the beach and umbrella cocktail drinks!
Using lots of bold color, metallic finishes and pretty things is key to creating the ultimate glam, sophisticated bedroom space. Having an inspiration piece to build the design around helps, take this absolutely gorgeous vintage meticulously woven colored area rug. The pink is so vibrant it was sure to infuse some color into the space with the dark color palette choice.
I wanted to create a post about doing a design all on line using the e-design process and what it entails, and how we as designers pull it all together once you contact us to help you with a project.
For this, I thought I would share this e-design project we did for a small studio apartment for a young married couple. This project was to furnish the Bedroom/Living Area in a small studio apartment and the inspiration for the space was a Modern Industrial Design Style.
No sooner are the holiday decorations packaged away until next year do we start thinking about that all important summer vacation. There are numerous commercials coming your way on TV and magazines in waiting rooms to thumb through touting dream getaway vacations in tropical warm climates, white sandy beaches and warm inviting oceans....not forgetting an umbrella beverage to really get you in the mood…..
A mood board can be particularly vague at times. You have various pieces selected and displayed in a beautiful pattern or design, but does it really help you envision a design in your space? The mood board is an important first step for us as Designers to create, as if gives us a way to gather some ideas for a design and to really tap into a persons thoughts and ideas.
If only to be a teenager again, I would have had an absolute blast decorating my study area with all the pretty colorful, girly and an abundance of pink decor items there are out their to discover... However at this point in my life, it might be a little loud for the husband so maybe when the kids have left for college I’ll hijack one of their rooms (sorry kids) and create my own “Glamsophisticated She Shed".
What is a bathroom without all the decorative elements and bits and bobs…..can I speak for everyone when I say that the most exciting part of a bathroom remodel is choosing the tile, flooring and hardware, then the soft touches, towels and florals... so much fun to see everything come together.
A lot of people are choosing to work from home these days which is a nice plus if you work for a company that allows you to work remotely! I know I would have given anything to work from home while sitting on the 405 Fwy for hours inching to get home as fast as I could! Everyone looks just so happy commuting on an overcrowded freeway! So if you are fortunate enough to get the opportunity to work from home why not consider turning your guest bedroom or den into an office combo space.
Summer is coming to an end, but this Design Concept is sure to extend those summer vibes just a little longer. Love how these wood tones intertwined with natural fibers and soft textures create a peaceful, simple and serene oasis bedroom for one to relax and reflect. Try some of these ideas to create your own personal oasis!
I love the look of a gallery wall, rather than a lonely piece of artwork sitting all by itself. Gallery walls can tell a story of things that make you happy, and remind you of good times and events. You can also mix sentimental pieces, textures, materials, or objects with your art to create a really unique style …. Get creative with your prints and display them up on your walls.
One of my favorite color combinations is navy and pink so when I am asked to gather together a concept board with ideas using these colors for a glam inspired living room, I am happy to oblige. This is such a fun color palette just bursting at the seams with personality, sophistication and style. Do you have a particular color combination in mind and just want to see if its right for you. Try e-design, the less expensive alternative to traditional Interior Design:-)
Love the shades of gray in this Kitchen Remodel Materials Board! Having difficulty visualizing your choices? Creating a product and material board can be very beneficial using the E-design process, from here we can create a conceptual 2-D rendering to give you an idea of how everything pieces together.
