Here’s EZ Design Change #2 to consider
Paint a ceiling. Yes, that’s right, you read correctly, PAINT A CEILING
The ceiling or 5th wall as it is sometimes referred to, should not be ignored. The entire feeling of a space can be enhanced by painting a ceiling. You can choose a complementary color, or simply a darker or lighter shade of the wall color.
If you are feeling even more inspired, you can add faux beams, ceiling tin tiles, or a custom mural to your ceiling. Even in a standard 8′-0″ high room, color or other design elements on the ceiling will add personality and interest to a room.
S Interior Design always paints the ceilings in powder rooms. No, it will not make it feel smaller, don’t worry 🙂
Figuring out what colors to combine in your interior design can be challenging. From paint colors to fabrics knowing which colors will complement one another is crucial to ending up with a pleasing to the eye end result. You can get out the color wheel, or hire a professional to assist you (we like that option...S Interior Design).
Another option that should not be overlooked is

You have an empty room. No furniture, no artwork, not even a rug. Where do you start?
START WITH THE RUG. [Read more…]
Design is a process. Candace Olsen said ‘Good Design Takes Time’. It is true! Sometimes you can make a notable change to the interior design of a space pretty quickly, but often the design plan needs to be developed, executed and adjusted to get it just right. So, while we all are trained to get everything quickly, I call it the ‘microwave society syndrome’, take a deep breath and invest time into the planning process to get the best end result.
Below is a recent example of a project S Interior Design is working on. You will see from the before and after photos the room has undergone a transformation. New paint colors, new seating, accent tables, area rugs, window treatments and more. Perhaps most different design element is the fireplace. The fireplace is a focal point in the room and before it had a faux paint technique in muddy brown tones that read as ‘Tuscon’. The new homeowners, wanted to inject color and an ethnic style element into the design. First we painted it, then we chose tiles to place on the hearth and the surround.
Here are photo collages showing other transformational design elements in the great room and adjoining eat-in kitchen area.
