home interior design Some major facts that you can not ignore while choosing a product or a finish for interior design mentioned below. * Economic and budgetary issues. Does the budget allow for the initial purchase cost of the material as well as the installation? Does the product require long-term maintenance, which may impact on the weekly household budget? * Durability considerations. Will the product withstand daily wear and tear -water spillage, foot traffic, pets, and children with artistic flair, furniture movement? Is the product able to be easily maintained? Is it easily broken, or scratched, prone to changing temperatures? * Safety issues. Is it slippery when wet (flooring)? Is it a fire hazard? Does it have hard or sharp edges? Does it provide a surface for glare? I.e. is it highly polished and reflective. Is the product dull and dark and impede vision without the lights on? * Comfort and Aesthetic considerations.

You can learn much from studying rooms that you love. Below I have attached a living room picture from a home I designed a few years ago. This turned out to be a very calm and soothing space. I wish I were sitting there now! A few key points: Windows were placed on both of the outside walls of the space. I always try to have natural lighting feeding into a space from more than one direction. Fireplace wall design was asymmetrical. Here form followed function. We needed a hideaway for the flat screen on one side, but not both. That left space for a cozy bench on the other side of the fireplace. A funky half oval shaped fireplace was used. This adds a very unique detail to an element that is normally very predictable (the rectangular fireplace box). Yellow walls with cream trim; natural wood floors and leather - the materials and colors are comforting. Dark ebony stained trim is used sparingly to cap off the fireplace and media cabinet and at the stair railing. This adds richnes...

My better half (Kelley) loves everything that interior designer Candice Olson performs. I just ran across one more example of a family room she designed which I have included directly below. It seems like all of her work combines architectural and decorating elements in a sophisticated and harmonious way. Here I love the texture of the fireplace wall, the comfortable mixing of old and new (furniture and accessories) and the attention to lighting. Key point - lighting is one of the most important things that you should not overlook. In this room it highlights the texture in the wall, brings the warmth of the wood media cabinet out and creates subtle reflections on the metal storage boxes. The space would still be nice, but not nearly so dramatic without it.

For years I have been wondering when someone would come out with a kitchen faucet / ipod - and here it is! OK - its not an IPOD, but a touch screen. The faucet is produced by Italian manufacturer Fima Carlo Frattini. The "Nonos" faucet allows the user to adjust water quantity, pressure and temperature. It also alerts the user in case of any malfunction such as leakage. The faucet’s touch-screen and easy-to-read graphic icons help in controlling the flow and temperature of the water stream.

I ran across this photo of a nice modern bedroom space and thought I would pass it on along with a couple of thoughts. Obviously the design is all about the connection with the outdoors. Floor to ceiling glass with a patio directly outside bleed the definition between outside and inside. If it was my design I might have extended the roof line outward to create a covered patio zone. This would have created a transitional space between inside and outside. The room is nearly void of detail. Why distract from the view? A very simple palette of material and color. The decorating takes a back seat to the outdoors. So what's the moral to this story? If you have a beautiful yard take advantage of it. Spend more money on glass and patio / porch space and spend less by keeping the interiors more minimal.

so...today is my first official day of blogging. i've never kept journals or blogged before so this is going to be a new and exciting experience. i'm an interior designer and have been working for a hotel owner/operator for the last year and a half. before working in the hospitality industry i designed model homes and also did residential design. recently i've really gotten into reading blogs, so i thought why not start one for myself so that i can share design tips and tid-bits and also so i can talk about this new journey that i'm embarking on. i'm toying with opening my own company again and expanding to the huntsville area. huntsville is where my mom lives, and it would be very easy for me to pick up clients there. it's only 3 hours and 15 minutes away from atlanta. huntsville hasn't been hit as hard as atlanta has by the recession and i really love the city. it reminds me a lot of johnson city, tn, which is where i went to college. i know this is probab...
