Three Rooms, One Design~ A Foyer, Living and Dining Design Plan

We've had a fantastic summer in the design studio, there are lots of projects we've been working on that I'm excited to share! Starting today. This was a Three Room Design Plan we created for Erite and her family. They were just getting settled into a brand new home that has a gorgeous open floorpan. Erite asked us to create a design plan for her Foyer, Formal Living Room and Dining Room which are all open to each other. Using some of her current furniture and accessories along with new, budget friendly merchandise selections, we gave Erite an easy to follow plan that ensures seamless flow between all three spaces...

As with all our Online Design Plans, we began with an inspiration board and a true to scale floor plan of each space that contains all of the items included in Erite's custom design plan (both new merchandise and her existing pieces). Then we followed up with a complete, detailed presentation and product source list that included recommendations for new paint colors, window treatments, furniture, art and accessories. 

Here is a peek at the plan we created for her Foyer...

From the foyer, you have a clear view into the Living Room. Erite wanted these spaces to flow together, working on them at the same time allowed us to create a seamless design. 

Here is a look at the plan we created for the Living Room...

The Living Room and Dining Room are separated only by a partial wall. Erite had a gorgeous dining table that she wanted to keep in the space, but other than that it was a clean slate. 

We created a plan for the Dining Room that tied in with the Living Room and Foyer design. 

Take a look...

This three room design project was a lot of fun. During the interview process, I got to know Erite and it was an honor having the opportunity to design for her and her family. Bringing their personilty in to their brand new home was a complete joy. 

We currently have a few openings for new online design projects, but the fall and winter tend to fill up fast! Please feel free to email us with any questions you may have on how our affordable online design service works!

Simple But Striking Foyer

Today's featured design plan was created for my client, Sandye, and her beautiful two story entry.  I

gave Sandye a design that is understated, yet striking.  (All product sources are listed at the end of this post)

The foyer already has a great wall color, Stone House by Ben Moore.  The adjacent Living Room is painted in Misted Green by Ben Moore.  I decided to pull the Misted Green color into the foyer in the rug and accessories to create flow between the two spaces.  

Here is a look at the two wall colors together...

I gave Sandye two console table options to choose from, both in a striking black finish.  

A large round area rug will soften the space.  This particular rug is an indoor-outoor rug which makes it a practical choice for a busy foyer.  This rug is available in my shop for a short time, click here for details. 

This black and white sign is one of the options for art that I gave Sandye to place over her new console table...

Another option we gave her for art was this beautiful large scale tree print framed in black.  This piece is a little more formal than the sign... 

A beautiful, large scale mercury glass lamp, a stack of books and interesting mercury glass orbs are the finishing touches in this foyer design plan.

A Young Fresh Transitional Style Family Room And Foyer

Today's featured design plan is for Nicole's Family Room and Foyer.  We've had the honor of designing a few spaces in her home and we were so excited when she recently called upon us again.  Through our consultations with Nicole, we've learned that she favors transitional style with a little bit of charm and rustic flavor.  This style compliments her home as well as her lifestyle very well. Our goal was to give her a high style Foyer and a beautiful, comfortable Family Room for her family to relax in and enjoy family time together.

Here is a little taste of what we designed for her...

This is the true to scale floor plan illustration we created to show Nicole where each item should be placed.  

Nicole already has a beautiful paint color that we were able to work with very nicely.  The items we selected for her will look great with the current color, yet are neutral enough that should she decide to repaint one day, choosing a new color would be simple.

We chose this handsome sofa in a gorgeous neutral fabric.  We paired it with a set of two patterned chairs in the same clean, sleek shape.

We placed a beautiful console table with a slightly rustic finish along the wall behind the chairs.  Under the console table, we added these fantastic leather ottomans.  Not only will they look amazing tucked under the console, but they will come in handy any time additional seating is needed.  

For personality, pattern and color we suggested adding these playful, yet sophisticated toss pillows to the sofa.  This over sized houndstooth pattern is graphic and eye catching and the woven wool texture and luxurious down fill makes them a chic designer element. 

Woven Wool Blend Down Filled Houndstooth Pillow

These character rich deer pillows lighten the mood of the space and compliment the houndstooth pillow beautifully. 

 Oh Deer Down Filled Pillow

To ground the seating area, we selected a gorgeous tone-on-tone charcoal colored wool area rug.  This rug is a perfect choice for a family. 100% wool rugs are naturally stain resistant.  The sculpted trellis pattern found in this particular rug gives it interest while the monochromatic charcoal on charcoal color scheme keeps it from overpowering the other patterns used in the space.  

Gray Tonal Trellis Wool Area Rug

 These pre-made drapery panels were perfect for Nicole's space.  We chose them for their subtle ombre effect.  They have just enough pattern to give the windows interest, but they are still overall light, bright and calm. 

To incorporate a little time-worn character, we chose this large square distressed clock for the space above the fireplace mantel.  The rustic finish speaks to the look of a well loved antique while the square shape allows it to fit in perfectly with the contemporary items in the space.  

Distressed Square Clock 

To accessorize the mantle in front of the clock, we suggested a simple arrangement of candle holders and eye-catching spheres.  

These are just some of the items we used in Nicole's family room design plan.

To make a great first impression upon entering Nicole's home, we designed a stylish and welcoming foyer.  The items we used in this space are a taste of the style we have implemented throughout her home.  We made a big statement with just three pieces.

Slate Gray Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug

The cabinet we selected gives a little bit of rustic charm to the entry while the fantastic sunburst mirror and graphic patterned rug provide a fresh, young, contemporary feel to the space.  The rug we selected is actually an indoor/outdoor rug which makes it practical for a busy entry.
