Interior Re-Design & "Up-Cycling"...

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

An Interior Re-design consultant helps clients to define the furnishings and accessories in their home, condo, or apartment.   We will walk through the your home and survey the space while ascertaining the function of each room.  We then decide on the scope of the project and then physically work with you to rearrange your furnishings and accessories room by room according to the your desires and needs.  We use sustainable living principles in our design projects by using what you already have.  In other words, you can say we re-cycle your possessions -- or "up-cycle" your things.  We don't always simply reuse an item; sometimes we make it even better.  When this happens, we consider it up-cycling.  Why not make something that was old, new again and give it a new purpose in your home.

We take into account the entire space to ensure that it accommodates your family's needs and activities, amount of light needed in the rooms, and how the family entertains themselves and others.  We make sure the new arrangements are designed with solid interior design concepts widely accepted by designers in the industry.   We make sure traffic flow is open, accessible and consistent.  We create proper conversation areas for entertaining, arrange art work to create balance and ensure proper lighting for family tasks.  We work as project managers and answer many decorating questions.

Before we can begin a redesign / up-cycling project, rooms may need to be emptied of the small items.  This is where our organizational skills can be of great help to many of our clients.  If you prefer, we can come in and help motivate you to de-clutter your space, and get rid of all the "visual noise" by using our proven 5-step system.  It is quick and easy.

 

Decorating is like investing.  Unwise choices can cost you money.   We know how difficult it is for many people to visualize the changes they want to make in their home.  They know what kind of look they want to achieve in their spaces, but incorporating those thoughts into action is not always easy.  We have many ideas to help you plan and implement a desirable look and feel in each room of your home.  We will also provide you with color consultations so you can make up your unique signature palette.  Now  your rooms will reflect more of who you are.  We'll bring in some colorful accessories so you see what kind additions you may wish to purchase at a later date to achieve the look and feel you desire.  Now  you can have a complete new space that identifies your true personality!

 

 

There are Ten Common Mistakes homeowners make when decorating -- and they are just that -- common.  This is because everyone makes them and they're simply unaware of it.  These ten mistakes can jar the eye, generate frustration, and make you feel uncomfortable within your own home.  Let me share them with you.

 

  1.   Not defining your priorities

 

  2.   An uncomfortable conversation area

 

  3.   Poor furniture placement

 

  4.   A room that is off-balance

 

  5.   Furniture of different heights

 

  6.   A room that lacks a cohesive look

 

  7.   Ignoring the room's focal point

 

  8.   Improper use of artwork

 

  9.   Ineffective use of accessories

 

10.   Using lighting incorrectly  

 

If you believe you have made these common mistakes, contact us so we can help you obtain the right feel for your home.  After all, your home should be your favorite retreat you enjoy coming to at the end of a long, hard day of work.  It should reflect who you are, feel comfortable, be relaxing, and be filled with all the things you really love.
