We will miss our start-up location in Caldwell, NJ, which was within a real estate office, and the friendships we have developed over the years from working there. As our business expanded and our team grew, it was time to open up a studio to support our needs and service our Clients.
Regardless of the scope of your project, any home project is an investment. We manage projects anywhere from full-room decoration to full-scale renovation. When you are investing thousands into your home, the thought of professional fees for an Interior Designer may raise concern. However, you know in your gut that you don’t have the time or bandwidth to take on the project yourself without the help of an expert.
The value of hiring a professional Interior Designer far outweighs the monetary value.
If you have been researching an Interior Designer for your project, you may have seen the terms Full-service, Turn-key Design, E-Design, or Virtual Design. These industry terms are different tiers of service and appeal to Clients at two different price points. If you are confused what is the difference between Full-Service Design and Virtual Design, this post is for you.
Have you have been tossing around the idea of hiring an Interior Designer but don’t know where to start? An Interior Designer gives you the reinsurance that you will have the dream home you’ve always wanted, help you stay on budget, and reach your target end date.
In today’s blog post, we will share our expertise whether you should remodel or move. If you are unhappy with the current state of your home, you are not alone. Home improvement projects have been on the rise since the pandemic started. Home projects are not the only thing on the rise but the cost of real estate as well. In New Jersey, we have reached a housing boom with homes selling $100,000-$200,000 over asking. Of course, this doesn’t happen with every listing but it is happening more frequently in today’s market. As my husband is a New Jersey realtor, I have an acute awareness to the real estate market and the experiences he has encountered over the past year and a half. With mortgage rates being historically low, more homeowners are considering whether to remodel or move.
History has shown us that interior design trends emerge after a moment of crisis or challenges. For example, Mid-Century Modern design emerged post-World War II and continued to grow in popularity for decades after the war. As we continue to spend more time at home during the pandemic, we’re seeing major shifts in colors, style, and decor for the upcoming year.
Based on my experience within the design industry, here is my forecast of the top ten interior design trends of 2021.
I had kicked off the new decade by attending the premier Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas as one of the fifteen 2020 DesignHound Influencers. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to view the trade show through a different lens by experiencing private tours, discovering new brands, and learning about recently launched products. Through this experience, I was introduced to two European brands which I am excited to share more about in this post.
It is to no surprise that Europeans have inspired American interiors, architecture, fashion, and even our cars in some way. European brands have emerged into the US market in many different categories, but what makes European brands different than American brands? Keep reading to find out!
This year I had attended KBIS for the first time! For those of you not in the industry, you may be wondering; what is KBIS? KBIS is the premier Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in which thousands of designers, architects, builders, vendors, and industry experts fly in to discover what is new and next. As one of the 2020 Designhounds…..
Color has the power to influence how you feel and can easily transform a room, whether you paint an entire room or use it as an accent. Each year, industry leaders announce the color forecast which influences the designs we see on the runway and in the home. As an Interior Designer, I get to see the home trends first hand at trade shows, High Point Market, and other industry events.
