Dining & Family Room design plan

Welcome to my blog! 

This is a two part blog. Today I will share with you the Design Plan for a Living & Dining Room interior design project. Part two will be the "Living & Dining Room Reveal!"

This project is a great sample of what a Du interiors “UltimateDesign Package” looks like. 

The main focus was to create a complete design plan for the living room and make recommendations for purchases for the Dining Room and Entry to tie all of these spaces together. 


We used many of the pieces that the client already owned and simply added the finishing touches to pull each of these spaces together. We selected big ticket items that are timeless and built to last and we personalized each of these spaces with punches of color and fun accessories that can be easily and relatively inexpensively changed in the future.

The before…
What to keep? 
Wall color, the dining room table & chairs + square wall mirror + Beige sofa

The Inspiration…Client’s love for blues & orange tones. 
The first item selected, the area rug
The floor plan with the final furniture layout selected by client...

The furniture selection…
To visualize what the space will look like when it is all done....

Quarry Lake kitchen reveal

Hello again! My message to you this month centers on a goal – to update a kitchen without changing its bones, the kitchen cabinets or countertops. We were up to the challenge! As you know, what an interior designer does is reveal concepts that might not be obvious but make such a big difference. The short version is that we relocated the TV into the living room so this family of four and a lovely dog could hang out there more often …since the space was not used much. (I will share the new living room space with you in the future. In this message, it’s about the kitchen). ©Elle M Photography ©Elle M Photography Moving the TV created a gathering space that was inviting and cozy and closer to the kitchen/island area. Everyone likes to be near the food! Paint is a wonderful way to create change.  The kitchen cabinets set the tone and, fortunately, this family is not afraid of bringing color into their home. The SW 9134 Delft gloss paint is t...

When a year comes to an end it is a time to reflect back and look forward.

It’s a time to wish you a very Happy New Year from Du Interiors!  No doubt we have all had a difficult and different two years with all kinds of challenges. A lot has changed for all of us. But we are still here. It’s a time for gratitude. It takes many forms. For me I am thankful that my interior design consulting business has kept me active in my creative environment. It gave me the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and clients not just in Oregon but also in Texas, Arizona, California and Washington. Designing attractive spaces so that people enjoy their environments and seeing it all pulled together to create a welcoming aura is a mutually pleasing.

Useful ideas on choosing a bookcase

Du interiors  Bookcases can be classical, fanciful, functional and personal …they really add to the anatomy of a room. They display your favorite reads as well as framed memories. There are so many options on deciding on the best for your nest. Here are important considerations. What Size Should Your Bookcase Be? The most basic consideration is size. How much space do you have in the room you have in mind? If space is ample, wide bookcases that measure several feet across are a good design idea. However, if room is small, go up! Taller bookcases work in space limitations, if you plan on placing a lot on them. Otherwise, one or more small bookcases would work.  Measure the room before you shop. What Type of Bookcase Do You Want? If you need inspiration, we suggest checking out houzz.com , Pinterest, Instagram, and so forth. There are so many choices on the market. What is Your Budget? Prices range from several hundred dollars to thousands if you want a custom built-...
