Five Easy Entryway Organizing Ideas by Du interiors

Is the entry room to your home suffering from the blahs? Are you ready to jazz it up?

Making a good first impression is not only important if you are job-hunting. It also matters at your home.
It's a good idea to create a favorable...even enjoyable...impression as soon as a guest walks in the door. It sets the tone for visits.

F
irst, there's Curb Appeal Your "curb" is your front door. Consider updating it to make a statement with a new coat of paint, two interesting large pots that catch the eye with beautiful, seasonal flowers or evergreens.

T
hen add some Drama! An attractive large floor mirror or an interesting piece of art adds drama to your entry. Adding a console, dresser, trunk or bench gives the entry dimension and an ideal place to display a few accessories and ambient lighting. Even a large chandelier can be a focal point, if there isn't room for furniture.

Building upward made the best use of this tight entry space while also providing a place for the family's belongings. A shallow ledge acts as a rotating gallery for artwork:

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...

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-...
