Affordable solutions to bring new life to your kitchen!


If you are like most women, you spend a considerable amount of time in your kitchen and like most women (and men) , a refreshing new look would lift your spirit.
How do you accomplish that and not break the bank?
The answer is mixing finishes.

You can incorporate black and gold to any stainless steel kitchen appliances and achieve a bolder, lived-in edge.

If you are remodeling or refreshing, cabinet pulls, light fixtures, faucets and other hardware are the easiest ways to achieve a kitchen change and experience the upbeat pleasure of new.

While oil-rubbed bronze and brass were the most recent haves, people are now experimenting with a variety of metal finishes, including champagne brass and charcoal stainless.

There are many beautiful options besides the once popular brass. I like to mix finishes, and I think my clients are comfortable with that. A client might opt for brass hardware and a different metallic color in lighting.
One of my favorite finishes is mixing black or really darker bronze faucets (for a modern, clean look) with brass hardware to add sophistication against stainless steel appliances.
Square Footage Inc.

Here’s the catch, though. There is a real danger in incorporating too many different finishes in a small space that can look too busy: two or three make things interesting and stylish.

If you are unsure how to achieve what I am proposing, consider hiring an interior designer. For a moderate consultation fee, you will save a lot of time  and money and not make costly mistakes.
Our training and experience will guide you. You’ll be in safe hands and broaden your concepts of design.

Don’t worry, be happy!

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.

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-...
