Afraid Of Color Adventures
I have many people that follow me on social media that might be a little gun shy about having me in their home. Why? Well, because I share who I am through my personal style. My personal style is pretty bold and vibrant. Guess what? That doesn't matter one bit because I respect you and your personal style and I create spaces that reflect you not me.
Recently, I got a new client who is an empty nester and was really ready for change in her home. She let me know that her home had been all about her children and having a casual fun environment that they would feel comfortable lounging around in with their friends. It was now time to take her home to the next level. When it comes to her design style, she is traditional and let me know that she does not really like color.
Here are some before and afters of her project...
Layers of textured neutrals on the sofa. Shiny metallic side tables and colorful hard covered book stacks add interest to a neutral space. Layers of textured neutrals on the sofa. Succulents are a great way to add interest to a neutral space. I repurposed glass decor but updated with moss, white filler and air succulents. New floor plan. I moved the sofa in front of the window and added a vintage console table. Furniture was quality but the space needed finessing. Light pillows balanced the heaviness of the arm chairs. Dining room chairs now flank the entry table to add visual weight. Tall mercury lamps add a reflective elegance. New floor plan. The art over the entry table was top heavy. Textured neutral runner breaks up the large dining table. Removed 2 chairs and added light table top accessories to lighten up the dining room. Too many chairs and dark tabletop accessories made this space feel heavy.
I just loved this transformation! My client let me know that she is now proud of her home and furniture in it. She makes herself a cup of coffee every morning and sits and enjoys the space before leaving for work. Let me know if I can help you update your home! The holidays are around the corner so please book soon!
