Furnishing Your New Home

Furnishing a new home can be exciting but also overwhelming. When faced with a blank canvas in a new home, many people feel there are many selections and design styles, yet they can’t pinpoint where to begin.

Start with your Design Style

Choose a style that reflects your taste, whether modern, rustic, contemporary, or a blend of various elements. Begin to develop your chosen style by selecting key pieces. Our firm initiates every design project with a Design Questionnaire to understand your preferences regarding design style, colors, patterns, and textures. Every great design starts with a concept and a curated collection of key pieces that form the foundation of your design.

Measure your space

It's essential to measure your space before purchasing key pieces of furniture. This includes measuring every room, window, and doorway. While you may have floor plans from the builder or architect, remember that measurements can sometimes change during the building process. Room dimensions, window sizes, and door widths may not be accurate. It’s always best to double-check your measurements to avoid issues like a sofa that won’t fit through your front door.

Your Color Palette

Next, consider your color palette. Knowing your color preferences will guide your color selections, which you can use to create a cohesive color palette for your home. Most harmonizing homes have a shared color scheme throughout the house.

Have an Inspiration Piece

At Sandra Asdourian Interiors, we believe in starting with an inspiration piece to build the design concept around. This piece can be artwork, a rug, or a fabric swatch. The style and colors found in the inspiration piece serve as a foundation for the overall design.
