Refreshing Coastal Hues Add Relaxing Mood to Family-Friendly Space!



Lets not forget the baby!

 The goal for this project in Tigard was to create a relaxed style, provide continuity and balance and to maximize functionality for the family lifestyle.
What was lacking for this young family of four was a comfortable space in which to gather and relax together.....

The kitchen, casual dining area and large family room comprised an open space. My role was to make that space balanced and beautiful, but casual, functional and comfortable.



 A color palette was chosen that included the owner’s new red sectional and two leather chairs.

I introduced blue, seafoam and crisp, white materials like warm reclaimed wood, recycled glass and rope for an inviting, coastal mood and style. My client had purchased a beautiful paint that was used as the inspiration for the color palette.
The inspiration!
A larger size area rug was purchased to balance the large sectional. 

Dressers that flank the fireplace added more storage and new accessories help unite the fireplace with the fresh, new look.

The wall gallery ties both sides of the room together and adds depth and moving the wall clock to another space in the room was more balanced. We added floor lamps by the leather chairs for reading and table lamps by the fireplace to provide ambient lighting.

A console table behind the sofa and a pair of large, candle urns define the family room with mirror trays, glass ball and seashells providing more coastal textures.

We added fresh accessories to the casual dining area.

The end result? “It’s comfortable, coastal and fresh.”

 Until next time....

Couple builds dream home in Walla Walla

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...

Oh, the joy of accessories!

Du interiors project A person can have a lovely home with nice things and it can look attractive but the overall effect is that nothing really grabs the eye.  What could make the pleasantly ordinary come alive are well-placed accessories. It is with decorative objects that a home gets its personality. Their color, form, texture and design transform a room from OK to “wow”. Du interiors It could be achieved by adding just one oversize art (bathroom below),  one interesting object (the metal display  ladder blanket below),  or a collection of things that are distinctive and eye-catching like the 3 candle-wall sconces in the bedroom below. For some, adding that out-of-the-ordinary vase or arrangement or piece of art does the trick.  Du interiors Master Bedroom Du interiors Bedroom Du interiors Bedroom Objects give rooms personality.  You may be able to achieve this yourself. Or with the right interior designer you would b...
