Do you walk into a room in your home and just feel like it isn’t right? Are you unsure of what is bothering you or maybe you can pin point a space or item that seems off.
Is your furniture placed correctly for good balance? Are your colors working well together? Do you have too many accessories or too few? Are the coffee table and end tables too small or too large? Are they the wrong shape for your furniture placement? What about your art placement? Is it too high or low? Is it too small or too large for the space?

In another new home the owners asked for help. We decided to paint the fireplace black, and add black shades on the windows to pull the black from the area rug. He is a musician so we had to find a spot for his albums. We balanced the weight of items on the top two shelves and placed his record player just where he wanted it. The contrast between the wood and black adds so much interest to the room.

We continued the black accents in the living room and accented with the most beautiful color of green on the sofa to add contrast. The drapes pick up the sofa color and also blend well with the carpet. Original art and mirrors frame the TV and give balance to the wall.

We carried the black around the room by adding black pillows on the sofa. The contrast with the sofa really sets it off. The coffee table is square which is perfect for this furniture set up and has a touch of a metallic trim for interest.

The open floor plan has the dining area placed with the living room so we carried the black into the fabric of the chairs. We accented the large wall with a perfectly sized mirror and the table has a large perfectly shaped vase with gold and silver eggs to pick up the gold and silver accents in the room.

Opposite the sofa we placed black chairs with gold trim and small matching tables. To continue carrying the black around the room we painted this wall black. We have created a perfectly balanced room with interest throughout.
Need help picking colors and fabrics? We have 6000 fabrics available to pick from. We know the content of each and what will wear well and clean easily. We won’t let you make a mistake! If you have cats we know what fabrics work well with their claws. If you have dogs, we know what is best for them as well. Often we hear about children or grand children and absolutely keep you away from problem fabrics. A good designer will use their knowledge to help you.
Possibly you have windows that need blinds or drapes. Again,we measure and then show you all the options in drapery fabrics as well as Hunter Douglas products.
