The "design in a day" service allows us to redo a room and stage it with a new look in just a couple of hours. It can be a very helpful design service for people who like the basic elements of their room, but want a new feel or a bit of a change. This sort of process can also help you to see the potential of a room, and perhaps spur on more changes for the room or the home at large. Further, it can also be a great service if you need help getting ready for a party or some sort of event.... Regardless, isn't it always fun to see your room in a new way? We sure think so!
Before:
After:
Things to Notice:
- Maintaining a color palette communicates simplicity for example keeping a green and brown color palette here allowed us to add lots of interesting "stuff" to the table without it feeling too busy or overwhelming
- Its all in the details-- little touches like the owl paperweight help the stack of magazines looks polished and happy as opposed to just a stack of magazines
- Done be afraid to mix it up-- this table alone has reading material, pottery, plants, glass, and wood
- Plants-- always a winning choice!
Things to Notice:
- Mix up your pillows-- here we use a light linen color, blue, and an animal print. The combination is clever and interesting to they eye. Also notice the size of the pillows, varying sizes of pillows also keeps things interesting.
- Color palette-- In this picture, you can see a hint of the fun rug we used. You can also see that a lot of what makes this rug fun is the color! Because the rug does have a lot of color, we felt it best to keep the colors on the sofa calm and complimentary to the rug. Notice how blue is sprinkled throughout the room: pillows, a throw blanket, and the rug.
- Lucite tray-- we love lucite! It is a fun, interesting material to add to any room.
Things to Notice:
- We loved the chance to use a ghost chair in this room. It is unexpected and adds a "cool" material to the room. It is also a "light" piece amongst some heavier pieces of furniture.
- Again, notice the mix of items on the table-- the box, glass, plants
- Pillows on the window seat-- We love geometric patterns, and we love how this one works in this room.
Things to Notice:
- plants!
- Buy what you love-- This table is interesting and works perfectly in this spot. If you love it, you'll find a home for it!
- Neutrals -- Because this room does have lots of color, we used neutrals in this corner to express calmness.
- Use what you own-- If you look back, you'll see these chairs were existing. We added new pillows and moved them in the room.... and they look great!
Office:
Things to Notice:
- As is proven here, your desk can be more than just a work space. This desk and the clean lines of the space are inviting.
- Lighting-- This desk light is practical and adds to the overall look of the space.
Separate Sitting Area:
Things to Notice:
- Sometimes you don't need a large coffee table. Don't be afraid to mix things up by using a cute round stool, small table, or garden stool.
- Pillows-- Because this room is much more neutral than the den, we used pillows to add color.
Kitchen:
Things to Notice:
- Add fruit or flowers to any centerpiece! It adds color, and just looks good.
