What’s your style?
DISCOVER YOUR STYLE
Happy New Year Everyone! I trust that you are ready to take 2021 by storm. Are you ready to invest in yourself like never before? Are you preparing to take great action to achieve all the goals you set for yourself year after year? I certainly hope so! Trust me, I am knee deep in action and progress.
I wanted to start the year off with a bang. More likely than not, the first call that I have with future design clients is centered around confusion. They don’t know what they want. Rarely do they know what things cost, and they are usually stuck on what their style is. HGTV and all the magazines are pushing the Virginia Farmhouse look, but they live in Austin and have no connection to this style. The turmoil between trends/what’s hot and what my clients are naturally attracted to create so much suffering.
I have to be honest, this is the single most likely thing that will have you parlyzed about what to do next or where to begin while decorating your home.
Over the next few weeks, I am posting a series of blog posts to help you determine your style. The amazing thing about interior design is that while there are guidelines and recommendations--there are no hard fast rules to creating spaces that are both visually appealing and functional. With proper planning, vision, and budgets of course we can make just about anything work.
Just because you live in a traditional Georgian home, doesn’t mean that your interiors have to consist of traditional color palettes, furniture and lighting. We can do amazing things with resources and vision! One other thing that is important for you to understand is, great design is about concept and how each element relates to the next. What are you saying Timothy? Your great Aunt Susan’s very traditional dining table, can be paired with ultra modern dining chairs covered in the most appropriate and luxurious fabric...and guess what---IT WILL WORK. We can then take those traditional chairs that you just don’t want to get rid of, refinish and recover them. Maybe we use (2) in the hallway, (1) in the office and (1) in each guest bedroom. Do you see what we have done here? We have created an example of how something may not in theory be your style, but with planning and creativity we can turn them into something amazing--and your style doesn’t have to be a limiting factor.
Still confused? Stay with me over the next few weeks. I promise to have you roaming around your home confident and clear about what your style really is and how you can go about creating the home that you have worked so hard to purchase.
