Well Hello,
Today I am sharing my clients Great Room Design. You can see a little of the process that goes into the designs here.
First - I had to measure the space
Second - I look at their Pinterest Boards and Created Some of my own Pinterest Boards
Third - The client went out and bought a sofa, so now I have to work around that sofa. (sometimes this happens and you just have to roll with the punches)
Fourth - I started drawing the room out, then I placed furniture in the room. In this paticular room, I could not change the Fireplace, the Windows, or the TV placement.
Fifth - Start shopping and create an Idea Board for furniture.
Sixth - Put all this together and send it over to the client.
Here is what some of it looks like...
Now we will wait to hear back from the client and see what they have to say. I will give you an update on this project soon!

What to Ask Yourself when Choosing a Paint Color for your Personal Home or Your Vacation Home…
Cohesive Flow

You can begin by selecting your ideal hue for the largest and most centrally located space and then coordinate additional colors from there. Using the same transitional color can create a cohesive flow throughout the rooms. This can be achieved by selecting the same color for the connecting spaces like hallways and entries. If you can see into connecting space select a color that complements the color of the room. Selecting paint colors should create a cohesive flow so that your home does not feel disjointed.
Do Something Different with your Ceilings

Ceilings don’t ever need to be white. In fact, it is distracting if ceilings are white if there is no other white in the room. If you would like to add a splash of color on the ceiling, select a color that can be found in the room’s accessories.
If you have a colored wall and you paint the ceiling a bright white, your eye will be drawn to the strong contrast between the two. You become very aware of where the walls end and the ceiling begins, thus the perceived ceiling height drops.
And do be afraid to add some interest to some rooms like using a wallpaper on the ceiling to add a dramatic detail of interest.
What to do with your Trim

If you want to deemphasize the trim within the space, paint it the same color as the wall color so that it disappears. To highlight your trim, paint it in a contrasting color to the wall, either lighter or darker.
Choosing the Finish

When choosing a finish, pay attention to the function of the space. Use a satin or semi-gloss sheens in an area with high traffic, such as on a kitchen cabinet or bathroom cabinets, kitchens, bathrooms, and playrooms. You may also want to consider a paint that has a mold and mildew-resistant finish for the bathrooms. If you are using a flat finish on the walls because you don’t like that sheen, be sure to use a semi-gloss on your mouldings.
Always consider natural light when picking your paint colors, test your paint colors on the walls first, and you should not pick your paint colors until the very last thing you do in your design/decor process. If you need help don’t hesitate to contact me.
