How we Operate What is the best floor plan for your room? Developing a floor plan is critical step before making any decisions. Balancing traffic flow and function with the room layout dictates the scale of furnishing for consideration. These plans can be prepared by one of our designers, and presented to you after a visit to your home.

Questions? How we Operate How do you want your room to look and feel? Our furnishings are divided into lifestyles of Casual and Classic. Within each lifestyle is a full range of period styling from French Country, to Eighteenth Century, to Urban Contemporary. What mood do you want to create? Our designers will help you to narrow your options and determine what styles are best suited for you taste and home.
How we Operate How do you want your room to function? How you live determines how your home should be dressed. Describe your family, your pets, how and whom you entertain. Tell us about your projects, hobbies, and interests. What are typical household activities? Do you have any favorite possessions or heirlooms to inspire your room design?
How we Operate What colors do you like? Which color palette do you like to live with? (Pastels, Earth Tones, Neutrals, Metallics, Jewels.) Do you have a color scheme in mind? Our designers will show you how color affects a room, and the way you feel in it.
How we Operate What fabrics should you choose? Various fabric types have distinct properties affecting texture, durability, comfort, and appearance. Do you live well with pattern? What patterns do you like? Stripes, Florals, Geometrics, Plaids and Paisley are a few of the patterns to work with. Our designers will show you how patterns and textures work together, and how to coordinate them correctly.
How we Operate How much will it cost? Whether it’s a big project or a small project, budget is prime consideration before commencing your decorating project. The cost to complete your room is dependant on the type of fabrics, furniture, and finishes that you choose. Once a plan is established, purchasing can be spaced over a period of time, ensuring your money is invested and not just spent. Your designer will work with you to establish a budget that’s right for you, up front, before any plans are developed.
Design Tips Visually heavy objects should be at the bottom of the vertical plan. For example, a painting hanging above a sofa should not be larger than the sofa. If there is no furniture of fireplace to anchor a vertical composition, choose an accent accessory that nearly reaches the floor, like a large oil painting. Vary shapes, sizes, textures, and colors for interest and dimension. Allow enough space around accessories so they don’t look crowded, but avoid using so much space that elements lose any relationship. Composition should form a roughly geometric shape and lead the eye around the room. A plant or sculpture in a corner can eliminate negative space between compositions.
Accessories and Accents Balance visual weight by distributing elements equally on either side of a centerline on the wall. Symmetrical placement creates formality while asymmetrical lends itself more to a casual or contemporary feel. One striking painting or print creates a singular focus, or you can arrange a grid of smaller works with matching or related frames or mats. In a seating area, hang artwork low enough (10” of 12” above sofa or chair) to have a relationship to the furniture and to be at or near eye level for someone seated. Using accents against a too-similar or too-competitive background will diminish the visual impact. For example, don’t place an intricate watercolor against a busy wallpaper, or a gray toned print on a gray wall.
Accessories and Accents Mixing works of a different media (oils, watercolors, pastels or pen and ink) is perfectly acceptable; however, there should be a unifying factor such as subject matter or color. Matching or coordinating frames will also unify a group of pictures or prints. For something different, frame a family heirloom, like an antique watch or a christening gown.
Design Tips Compose horizontal groupings of an odd number of items with one dominant piece. Give prominence to certain items by elevating them on stands. As with vertical displays, arrange items on horizontal surfaces close enough together so that they visually relate. Group objects to be attractive from the point at which they naturally would be viewed, such as from above or from the side. The proportion and scale of objects should not be too dominant or too small for the surface on which they are placed.
Accessories and Accents A mantel is an ideal place to display collections of small objects, which can be lost if spread throughout a room. One or two small lamps on mantel ad sparkle to the fireplace area, showcasing items and highlighting natural textures such as brick, stone or wood paneling. Small potted green plants also accentuate mantels well, providing color and texture. Of course low-light plants are usually the best choice. To display a collection of small items on a tabletop, arrange them on a tray of brass, silver or wood. Add interest to a horizontal display with a table runner, a simple straw mat or even a piece of silk fabric with objects artistically arranged in the folds.
Accessories and Accents Items with enough presence to be displayed alone should be place in an area that will accentuate their importance. Spotlighting will further enhance the presentation. Stacks of books create a relaxed homey look on tabletops. For added interest, top the stack with a small sculpture or plant. On a large surface, like a square cocktail table,
try mixing materials to create a pleasing contrast. For instance, use
a reed basket next to a pair of crystal candlesticks.
