Design challenges when updating an older home...how come they didn't center the fireplace? Better than the "corner fireplace" I guess. So many homes seem to have this.
Part of my design process is to give you solutions for those spaces you've just given up on. What would a DESIGNER DO? When a room feels out of balance, I can sense it immediately. There are a few suggestions I can offer during a consultation (HOUSE CALL)
* The fireplace had almost become an accent wall instead of FOCAL POINT.
*Outdated brick color
* Mantle too high
* Furniture too formal for casual space
* Layout elongates the room
* Formal Living Room adjacent doesn't blend with FR Style
* Need to maximize floor space
MY Designs are truly where the ideas come to life. You need a PLAN to make the room feel balanced. This part is the foundation to a great room. AND...it's critical. There is so much more intentionality when I put together a plan. I truly think about what is best for the people who live here...and how they want to use the area.
A design plan is the next step after we meet. I provide 2 layouts , so you can decide what works best. Most of the time, clients say "I've never thought about that". No cookie cutter design here. Everything is tailored for you!
If you think you need some help...call me. And thank you for following! I can't wait to share the AFTERS with you.
