Designing and decorating a room requires creativity and vision, and this can sometimes be even tougher when redecorating. It is easy to hit an inspiration roadblock when looking at an existing room with existing furniture, and getting off track in the middle of the project can often happen. That's why it is so important to map out a concept for the room from the beginning. Creating a design board with the colours and furniture you will use allows you to constantly go back and be reminded of the feel and mood you are trying to achieve. I always start with something that the homeowner loves, and use that as a jumping off point. It might be fabric in a favourite colour, a piece of art, or a decorative accessory.
Here is an example of a recent project I did, which I posted about this week. This was a master bedroom refresh, using much of the existing furniture. The design board shows the colours and feel we were going for, and although some things were tweaked, it kept us on track and the outcome was what we wanted.
If you would like to have a design board created for a room you would like to refresh, go to my online refresh page. I would love to help out!
