The Hallmark Of A Beautiful Room

April 10, 2025

There are seven elements to creating a Beautiful Room. Consider these elements and ask yourself if you have met all these requirements.

  1. Balance: Have you achieved balance? Horizontally? Vertically? Color? (three zones?)Texture? (all the same finishes in your accent pieces?) Metal? Is it all satin? bronze?
  2. Harmony: The way the rooms flow together. Do they tell a story or is it chopped up?
  3. Proportion: The way things relate to one another. Ex: Is the lamp the best proportion to the table?
  4. Scale: The way things relate to the room. Ex: Is the sofa the right scale for the room? Or is it too big? Too small?
  5. Color: Does it hit the three zones? Function one 0″-36″ Power  Z0ne  36″-78″  Ceiling  Zone  78″  to  ceiling.
  6. Rhythm & Flow: Keeps the room moving. This is where you’re going to repeat things. Be true to the form. Ex: Round table has round table mat, round accessories. Doesn’t mean everything in the room has to be round!
  7. Style: Does it have flair and have you honoredwhat it is you are trying to achieve?

Senior Citizen Apartment

February 2, 2023

This past summer, I was hired to design a senior citizen apartment. She was moving from her current home into a new senior development and wanted a “WOW Factor!”. Her words, not mine.

I met with my client and her daughter and went to work. First, I went and measured the space and took pictures. Then I made a floor plan. This is important because it allows me to see what items are going where and, most importantly, the size it requires. After that, we set a date and went shopping. Sometimes my client does come with me when I shop.

Here is the floor plan. I estimated what size would work. This way, when I shop for the item, I know the size of the item. We were shopping for a living room, dining room,  and kitchen.

We bought all the furniture at Raymour and Flannigan since she wanted fast delivery and had a budget she needed to work with. So we did the complete shopping all in one day.

 

Safe to say she definitely got the “wow” factor!
