Designer Advice

Posted on by sarahgrend

These are all the things I consider when designing a new home!

Number 3 is what makes me inspired with a home! Lighting often gets overlooked. But it’s what can personalize your space and make it all come together.

Number 8 is what I feel sets us apart in the building industry . As a designer, I am able to imagine how a family will use their space and make sure it’s functional now the floor plan will work with furniture as well!

  1. Understand the purpose and function of the space: Before starting any design project, it’s important to have a clear understanding of how the space will be used. This will help inform your design decisions and ensure that the space is functional and meets the needs of the family.
  2. Create a cohesive color scheme: Choose a color palette that reflects the desired mood and atmosphere of the space. Consider the use of complementary colors, contrasting colors, or a monochromatic scheme to create visual interest and harmony.
  3. Pay attention to lighting: Lighting plays a crucial role in interior design. Consider both natural and artificial lighting sources to ensure that the space is well-lit and that the lighting enhances the overall ambiance. Incorporate a mix of task lighting, ambient lighting, and accent lighting to create layers of light.
  4. Consider the scale and proportion: Ensure that the furniture and decorative elements in the space are appropriately scaled to the size of the room. Avoid overcrowding or leaving large empty spaces. Aim for a balanced and harmonious arrangement that allows for comfortable movement and flow.
  5. Use texture and patterns: Incorporate different textures and patterns to add visual interest and depth to the space. Mix materials such as wood, metal, glass, and fabrics to create a layered and tactile environment.
  6. Create focal points: Designate a focal point in each room to draw attention and create a sense of visual interest. This could be a statement piece of furniture, an artwork, a fireplace, or a unique architectural feature.
  7. Pay attention to details: Small details can make a big difference in design. Consider the selection of decorative accessories, such as throw pillows, rugs, artwork, and plants, to add personality and style to the space.
  8. Consider the flow and layout: Ensure that the layout of the space promotes easy movement and functionality. Arrange furniture in a way that allows for clear pathways and facilitates conversation and interaction.
  9. Incorporate storage solutions: Effective storage is essential in maintaining a clean and organized space. Consider incorporating built-in storage options, such as shelves or cabinets, to keep clutter to a minimum.
  10. Personalize the space: Finally, don’t be afraid to inject your own personality and style into the design. Add personal touches, such as family photos, artwork, or heirlooms, to create a space that feels uniquely yours.

A Place to Unwind

Posted on by sarahgrend

The master bedroom is one of the most important rooms in a home. It is a space where you can relax, unwind and rejuvenate after a long day. Therefore, it is essential to design the master bedroom in a way that creates a calming and peaceful atmosphere. A well-designed master bedroom can not only improve the quality of your sleep but also add value to your home.

Here are a few of the key elements of master bedroom interior design that can help transform your bedroom into a luxurious and comfortable space.

  1. Color Scheme:
    The first step in designing a master bedroom is to select a color scheme that sets the tone for the room. A neutral color palette with soft tones such as beige, cream, and grey can create a serene and calming environment. However, if you prefer a more dramatic look, you can opt for bold colors such as navy blue or emerald green. The key is to choose a color scheme that reflects your personality and creates a relaxing ambiance.
  2. Lighting:
    Lighting is an essential element in master bedroom design. It is crucial to have a combination of natural and artificial lighting to create the perfect ambiance. Large windows that let in natural light can make the room feel more spacious and airy. In addition, you can install dimmer switches to control the intensity of the artificial lighting, allowing you to create the perfect mood.
  3. Furniture:
    The furniture in the master bedroom should be functional, comfortable and stylish. A statement piece such as an upholstered headboard can add a touch of luxury to the room. Additionally, a comfortable armchair, and a bedside table can provide practical and functional elements to the room’s design.
  4. Textiles:
    Soft and luxurious textiles such as silk, velvet, and cashmere can add a touch of elegance to the room. A plush rug, cozy throw pillows, and luxurious bedding can create a comfortable and relaxing environment. Additionally, window treatments such as curtains or blinds can add privacy and light control to the room.
  5. Accessories:
    Accessories such as artwork, mirrors, and decorative items can enhance the room’s design and add a personal touch. A statement piece of art can create a focal point in the room and add color and texture to the space. A decorative mirror can make the room feel more spacious and reflect natural light, while decorative items such as vases, candles, and plants can add a touch of personality to the room.

A master bedroom design requires careful consideration of the room’s function, style, and personal preferences. By incorporating the key elements of color, lighting, furniture, textiles, and accessories, you can create a luxurious and comfortable space that reflects your personality and helps you relax and unwind.

Rolling Hills Master Bathroom

Posted on by sarahgrend

I love starting a project designing on my computer program. It’s the easiest way to experiment with ideas! I want our Rolling Hills Master bathroom design to be exceptional, and offer something that you don’t see in other homes.

The safe way would to do white cabinets. I love white cabinets in a bathroom. They are classic and clean. But if I want exceptional, I need a pop of color. Since I’m going with a coastal farmhouse theme, a shade of blue/green will be the fit perfect in the design. Going with black fixtures is timeless and brings in the farmhouse design aspect.

I’m also going to be using some shiplap in the house design. So bringing this feature into the master bathroom will tie the rooms together. This of course, is a conceptual view of how the bathroom will look, and the colors may vary a bit. But I think we are off to a good start! Stay tuned for the custom tiled shower design!! It’s going to be amazing!

My Favorite Room in the House

Posted on by sarahgrend

My husband I built our current house about 3 years ago. When we were deciding on a floor plan, I paid close attention to the kitchen space. Kitchens are my favorite place in any house. Its where I spend most of my time at home. I love to cook, and I cook almost every night. Except Fridays, I like Fridays off.

A large island was my number one priority, and plenty of cabinet space. Our house prior to this one had very little cabinet space. I clearly remember unpacking and sitting there on the floor and wondering what am I going to do with all of my stuff? This kitchen is packed with storage. I no longer have to store my kitchen items in an entry room closet.

Kitchens are not just my favorite place to hang out, they are my favorite room to design. Choosing our cabinet style was easy, but my husband and I couldn’t agree on a wood choice. So we compromised and did two. The island is a statement with the grey stain, chosen by my husband, and I got my warm stained maple cabinets.

I have to say, every morning I come down to the kitchen and I truly appreciate it. Especially when the aroma of coffee fills the room!
