What is the finishing touch to your design that says done? As an Interior Designer, I can tell you first hand. Inspiration is everywhere. You travel, see new places, and meet new people; your home should be lived in and enjoyed. In other words, just like you don't wear the same clothes you wore five years ago. Same with your home. Life happens, and your home will reflect it as you experience new things.

Finishing Touch to Complete the Look

When we approach any design project, we look at all the fixed elements of the room. In other words, the windows, doors, and any openings into the room. Next, we consider the amount of natural lighting, like where the sun is coming in. In other words, if the room is facing south, a bright room or west and only sunny in the latter part of the day. The light will affect the colors used in the room. Adding cool colors will brighten the space if you have a north-facing room.

Once you have selected all your furniture and rugs, the finishing touches are the artwork and accessories to complete the look. When working with clients, I like to ask them about their favorite pieces of artwork to get inspiration. If they don't have any artwork, I ask them about that favorite place they have traveled to, their favorite movies, or hotels. Above all, we work on finding that one element they love and build on the finishing touches.

Love Where You Live and Live in Your Home

The clients have a stunning view from every window in the design below. The room faces north but feels bright, warm, and inviting. Why? Because we are adding texture to the pillows and area rug, depth in the wall color, and a generous amount of seating for the whole family. The client said this is now their favorite room in the house.
