Are the rooms in your house giving you the blahs?

No worries. Here are some easy eye-pleasing design suggestions during our nesting seasons.

Every season designers unveil a “new” color. Why not give it a try? For example, if your living room is mostly blues and grays, a pop of yellow is delightfully cheerful. It can be as simple as a vase full of yellow flowers or a couple of lovely marigold pillows. 

Mustard orange, blue green, dusty blush or pink grapefruit  are also colors to refresh any room.

A new lighting fixture is another way to alter a room and add depth and elegance…and make a statement!
“Pharmacy” lamps for reading invite attention, as do new chandeliers in your dining room and entry. Plug-in pendants are another idea or wall sconces above nightstands. They certainly brighten fall/winter evenings.

Rearrange or swap out furniture and display and use pieces  in different ways and purposes, thereby uplifting the look of your home.
For instance, change the flow in your rooms by moving furniture, angling pieces differently or making your fireplace a focal point.

 Use a storage container as a side table; put a lamp from the living room in the bedroom. You don’t always have to go out and buy new things, if you get creative. The difference can be startling.

I hope these photos inspire new ideas but if you are not feeling creative Du interiors is just a phone call away.
Professionals save you time and money …and costly mistakes.

Happy Fall,

From Dulce

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...
