LIFE TRANSITIONS
We handled downsizing, up-sizing or just new-sizing, fitting the changing needs of our clients’ seasons of life… just right-sizing! We helped with multi-generational living modifications, Universal Design and Aging in Place.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Many clients were newly constructing their home, or making additions and needed furniture plans, light control solutions, materials and finishes selections. Pre- construction is the best time to plan all of the interconnected elements of design.
HAVE DIFFICULTY VISUALIZING SPACE?
Sometimes clients are great at selecting color schemes and textures, but just can’t visualize the layout of a room that was both functional and aesthetically attractive. We ensured the right furniture size decisions for purchases, providing true- to scale drawings of floor plans, and 3D visualizations.
TOO TIRED DIY
Sometimes all our clients needed is some consultative direction…sometimes handing off portions of a project that kept them at a stand-still. We collaborated to make the the best fit.
DIY
Doing it yourself is not only a popular trend, it can be a budget friendly way to help achieve goals for a liveable, workable, likeable environment. Providing, of course, there was a good plan. A plan that truly reflected a unique vision while incorporating those ‘non negotiables’, like perhaps, integrating a family heirloom stained glass window, or Mid Century Modern dining room set. Or maybe the brand new flooring that came with the house has a beautiful pattern but unusual color that needs to be worked around. The best outcome for Do It Yourselfer’s is to do it with a plan!
MISSING THE FINISHING TOUCHES?
Maybe the missing pieces to an Optimized Interior include art, accessories and some finishing touches, or perhaps a single piece of new furniture, or area rug. A simple re-design, or accessorizing is the way to go.
AGING IN PLACE? LOOKING FOR UNIVERSAL DESIGN?
Some folks already love their home and don’t ever want to leave it. Now more than ever, supportive solutions for lifelong living in one’s own home are available. And those solutions can be beautiful and integrated within the design of the home.
DO YOU HAVE APPROPRIATE LIGHTING?
Adequate, flexible and attractive lighting can sometimes be an afterthought when clients are considering improving interior spaces. But lighting is one of the central components in optimizing any interior space. Today’s lighting options have never been better! And good lighting dramatically improves one’s quality of life.
IS COLOR CONFUSING?
It’s no wonder! Near infinity is the number of colors appearing in the natural world! And how we see colors is profoundly connected with light. And not just natural light, but the many color temperatures of artificial light. Coupled with those realities, coordinating the many colors involved in an interior scheme, including textiles, flooring, tile, furniture and other materials, one could feel easily intimidated. The good news? Strategic use of color is possibly the most profound tool we have to visually optimize space. It can unify, excite, calm, define, highlight, camouflage, and correct a multitude of aesthetic problems! And it can also provide one of the ‘biggest bangs for the buck’!
WORKING FROM HOME?
Where we work is increasingly fluid. Is there space in your home that is or can be supportive of productive thinking and workflows? Is it ergonomically comfortable? Is the equipment, and are the tools, quickly accessible in proximity to the desk area? Is there adequate and convenient storage to maintain an uncluttered environment? Are there information systems in place for taming the tiger of papers? Does the ambiance make you want to be in the space, and thus provide motivation to ‘get to work’? Design services coupled with organizing services provide a comprehensive approach to the creative ‘brain’ room of the home!
DISORGANIZATION AND STORAGE CHALLENGES?
You appreciate fine design and can identify your style preferences. You’re wanting to undertake a remodel or maybe invest in new furniture. But life seems to have taken some twists and turns, seemingly high-jacking your efforts to maintain order, even though you’ve not had difficulty in the past. Or perhaps organization has just never come easily. Pursuing a fresh start for your interior spaces will be supercharged for functionality and will support productive living, once systems are in place for getting and staying organized.
CUSTOM BUILT INS ARE SUPER SPACE SAVERS!
Built ins are understandably more expensive than ready made storage furniture. Their cost value as one component in a room’s design solution, however, is often very significant. Few other solutions offer the value in gained storage and functionality in small spaces, or even larger rooms requiring multi-purpose use. Family Rooms, Guest rooms, Home Offices, are prime candidates. Good design maximizes limited space, beautifully.
FULL SERVICE DESIGN
The ideal is to have the have trusted, reliable expertise and resources to provide a near-turnkey experience. Entrust a project to a good designer, conveying how you want your home to function, feel and look, and they’ll transform your vision into a reality with Full Service Design.
