Interior Design & DecorOur mission to bring to fruition your most beautiful and functional living spaces. As we know, especially now, we spend most of our time at work and at home. These environments set our mood by interacting with all of our senses: They're the backdrop for our interactions with ourselves and others. Do they provide comfort, ease, and beauty ? Or are they visually noisy, frenetic, cluttered and non cohesive? Understanding how you want to "live" in each space is our crucial first step in our design process. This crucial cornerstone is the guiding principal throughout the process of creating your plan. The plan is the space plan, selections for furniture, fixtures, equipment, fabrics, lighting, colors and art. We bring our trained and critical eye to help you envision your finished space. Our Interior Design experience and ability coupled with our project management will bring that plan to fruition.
We have extensive knowledge of resources to purchase or re-purpose what's needed to achieve that customized vision. Let us help you redefine and create your new, beautifully inviting, cohesive interior design. We want your finished space to be the place you look forward to coming into everyday. Art Placement & Color Selection
Art Selection/Placement: Where and how your art is grouped and placed will create a variety of statements and atmospheres. The placement is either a focal point or a backdrop, depending on your desired outcome.The placement of your art can be rearranged to reignite the excitement and admiration of your pieces and your space. We are able to provide assistance whether you wish to work with your existing collection or you want to discover new artists and pieces.
Color Selection: Your color selection should be specific to you and relate to other elements in each room. The color selection will set the tone for your space: somber, relaxing, formal, playful, etc. . The colors we select will also need to enhance where they are used, how the color will be perceived (with the natural and interior lighting), the color relationship to your fabrics, furniture, style, and function. All of these factors should all be taken into consideration to create a thoughtful composition. The days of "crowd sourcing" the color gray on social media is not where we find the best color selection. It is the specific sum of all of the considerations mentioned above, that make your space a cohesive, beautiful and unique place to live. |
Staging for SellingStaging is one of the largest contributing factors attributed to increasing the interest and ultimately, to increasing the sale price of your home. There's a proven and direct correlation between a well staged home and a higher sale price. The cost of staging typically outweighs the return on your investment. The key to staging is to show the potential buyers how buying your home will help them to live their best lives. We want the buyer to have that visceral experience; to turn to their agent and say, "This is it! This is where I want to live". The research shows that days of the "blander the better" are over.
That's the benefit of our years of extensive experience in the Real Estate business coupled with our Accredited Home Staging Expertise. Being successful at this profession involves understanding who the potential buyer might be and targeting the design to their particular market segment. Each time we stage a home, different pieces, arrangements, and colors are used. We can work with some of the pieces you have, remove what's not helpful and add the decor needed to create that perfect blend or provide all the furniture, fixtures and art. All of this creates Alchemy by Design. By the way.... Most of the pieces we use are not sourced from chain stores, but bespoke, curated pieces. This sets your home apart and contributes highlights the very best spaces and aspects of your home. Your home is one of your biggest investments. The care given to preparing for sale should reflect that investment. |
Creating Your Perfect Vignette
Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference. Color, texture, light, come together to create the atmosphere that draws you in to your space and brings you closer to how you and your family want to feel and function in your space.
"To be modern is not a fashion, it is a state. It is necessary to understand history, and he who understands history knows how to find continuity between that which was, and that which is, and that which will be."
Le Corbusier
Specializing in transforming your living spaces from ordinary to exceptional. We call that process, Alchemy by Design
Our goal is simple:
Transform your ordinary environment into a special place where beauty, function and flexibility come together to make the perfect space for whatever life brings.
Sometimes it can be as simple as "zhooshing" your existing plan with the pieces you already own. We can select the right color, lighting, move your existing pieces, (furniture, fixtures, or and/ or art), to create an exciting, fresh, more attuned space for your desired outcome. Sometimes we need to bring in pieces to in order to achieve our goal or reimagine the pieces you have by reupholstering, refinishing, reframing, etc..
We begin by shopping in your home, noting what could be, (or transformed to be), incorporated in your new plan. Then we determine what we need to bring in from the marketplace. By helping you define and create that vision for the the total composition of space and doing what it takes to get it done, that's how Alchemy by Design is achieved.
*(zhoosh) Definition: To make more exciting, lively, or attractive.
