Today's Stroll Thru the Design Center - Fabulous Color

Here are some quick snaps showing how some of our favorite showrooms are using color.

Grange - Furniture 

 Love the different velveteen brights on the seats of these dining chairs at Grange.  They’ve totally updated a simple café chair with splashes of chartreuse and pink.

Shade, Inc. - Window Treatments

 Erik and Linda at Shade, Inc. have amazing taste in fabrics and color for window treatments. Creative sessions in their showroom always lift a project to a higher level. 

Tai Ping and Edward Fields - Rugs

Any of the gorgeous patterns at Tai Ping can be created in any of the colors on their poms.  Monica has unerring advice for what really makes a project sing.

Cowtan & Tout - Fabrics

Love the orange and purple robes on the guys in Cowtan & Tout’s new Color Stories fabric -- perfect with a neutral wall color. Thanks, Judy!

Client-Style Design – Personal Branding

I met someone at an event last night who asked what my style was as an interior designer.  My response -- “My style is client style.”  The joy of doing what I do is listening to clients, chatting with them about their homes, and then giving back the style ideas that come from what they’ve said.

For years I worked in business as a corporate marketing executive.  I created corporate identities, logos, tag lines, packages, ads – everything needed to create and foster a brand.  Now I do the same thing with my interior design practice, except that now my ideas are about furnishings, fabrics and lighting. 

Listening and engaging is the key.  I listen to thoughtful, knowledgeable clients talk about how they live, what they love and don’t love about their homes, and what they care most about.  Then together we create a focus for their home with color, lighting, furnishings and art.  The end result is always personal, timeless, and unique.  It’s client style – personal branding for the home.
