House Plants from Natural Decoration INC.

Don’t you just love the lively and refreshing scent of fresh flowers? Don’t you hate that they die after only a week? I do, and luckily now there are great silk floral out there that give you all the stylish flare and personalized touch of real flowers but without the clean up. They might not give off the same scent as real flowers but I’m sure we can find you a nice scented candle to do the trick.

House plants are the same way. You never know when to water them or how much light the need to survive. You’re supposed to place them outside for a bit of time on nice days so they can soak up the fresh air or in their case the CO2. But how many of us are guilty of plant neglect? I know that I have irresponsibly cut down a plant or two in my day and now I can happily Windex my plants about every three months to keep them nice and shiny.

I know that there are alot of bad words said about faux flowers: tacky, cheap and low-end are just some that I have heard over the years. Now though, the Faux floral manufactuers have stepped up there game and have really created one of a kind pieces that look almost real. Arrangements can go for upwards of $60 to $100. So cheap no more these flowers are sophisticated and perfect for all homes.

Young Bachelors, listen up! Faux florals aren’t just for your mother or girlfriend anymore either. Get creative and bring some class to your pad. not only will your girl appreciate the warmth they bring to your Ikea sofa and hand me down end tables but they will make you look like you care about the enviroment around you. Now just cause I said florals this doesn’t mean you need to buy flowers, you can go for something a bit more masculine like the cool bonsai tree seen below.

The styles and options are endless when it comes to silk flowers and we mean that in more ways then one!

The first thing to consider is what style suits your taste and lifestyle? Do you prefer sleek modern lines or cozy traditional styling. Do you want a slip covered style where you can remove the covers to wash or dry clean, or, do you prefer the crisp tailored appearance of a fully upholstered style? Do you prefer traditional turned wood legs in an espresso color, or a tailored kick pleated skirt with a more formal appearance?

Next is the configuration and size. Measure your room and determine what size and configuration is best suited to your room. Perhaps a sofa and an armchair, or, maybe an L-shaped sectional with attached chaise for the media room is best suited for your family. Whatever your needs, chances are we can help you create the perfect sofa for your room. For fabrics, look at the choices of patterns and colors on our site, if you want any particular swatches mailed to your home click on the swatch request button to request. Measure the space you have to work with ( width, height and depth), take notes or details about your arrangement, and give us a call to begin the process of creating your one of a kind, customized sofa.

The selection and prices at Custom Sofa Design are truly unbeatable. If you’re someone who has a specific design in mind and want something customized to fit your needs–this would be the place to go. The services offered truly reflect the name, you are able to request a couch that had a higher back and deeper seat than what was shown on the web site so make sure you know what you want when ordering. The fabric options and styles are great and fit any setting.

Custom Sofa Design is a great option for every type of customer.

Metallic hues like gold, silver, bronze and copper are becoming more and more popular in the home as well as in fashion design. This unique piece from Currey and Co. has artistic flare that will draw anyone’s attention. The shape and style are modeled after ancient Chinese furniture.

Wood tones that feature large grainy textures are taking place of the popular java or espresso tones. Stained furniture often means that you are buying anti-”green” home furnishings. Unless the piece has been stained or sealed with a water based treatment the furniture can not be considerd eco-friendly. So beware the green washing and look to more natural tone like the one seen here from Oggetti.

Orange is very popular right now as are reds and other warm tones. Warm toned furniture might be bold or loud but when placed in the right space with other color appropriate furnishings and wall color it can be right on the money. This tall sideboard in orange from Red Egg has so much personality that your other furniture will be jealous. Now I’m sure you are wondering what other colors you’d incorporate with orange and the answer is: blues, browns, white or hot pink. Think FUN FUN FUN!

Go Green! In this case we don’t only mean Eco-Friendly but we mean the color. I know that adding green furniture to a space might be a little on the nose but the color is hot this fall and will make a great impact on your earthy interior. Using colors from nature is a perfect way to bring the outside in and when you mix greens with browns like in this coffee table from CR Currin it makes a great statement.

My Favorite furniture Color trend is BLUE! This desk from A. P. Industries has an oceanic feel and great sensibility. Now I know what you’re thinking, “That piece belongs in a boys room.” well blue furniture isn’t just for boys any more. Adding an occasional piece like this to your space gives you a sense of artistic expression with out going over the top. Simple is better and when working with colored furniture that is key to a great overall design.

Often we forget to look beyond the actors when watching television or movies and when we do we miss out on a lot of great style ideas. One of my absolute favorite shows to take ideas from has to be Nip/Tuck. The show, which follows the lives of two pretentious egomaniac plastic surgeons and their crazy mixed up friends and family, has been a style star in Hollywood for five seasons. This has largely been due to the shows Set Decorator, Emmy nominated Ellen Brill. Ellen started as an interior designer and received her degree from UCLA in 1991. Her first job out of School was working in the art department for an independent film which she was credited as the set decorator on. After the films completion Brill was offered the same position on another film and has been in the television and film industry ever since.

In her sets for Nip/Tuck Brill brings inspirations from several different periods but has shown an affinity for incorporating mid-century modernist pieces from the likes of Arne Jacobsen, George Nelson and the Eames’. In the images above Brill was tasked to create spaces that were to be home to the McNamara/Troy surgeon team’s new Las Angeles office. The Pacific Blue sofa’s are a great homage to the location as well as the two palm inspired sculptures. The chandeliers give of an ambient light which bounces of the wood paneled walls and gives the waiting room a sense of warmth. This is something not often found in real life waiting rooms. The image directly above is the set designed to be the home of the bachelor surgeons. One would think this space was to nice to be a bachelor pad but even that is addressed in the series, as Dr. Troy often meets with his Interior Designer.

This set is one of my favorites and if you look closely you might see that the arm chairs are actually the same arm chairs from the set above. This is the nice thing about set design, you are allowed to incorporate pieces from one set in order to meet the requirements of the scene. This can also be true to your home. Try switching out the arm chair in your bedroom with the one in your living room just to switch things up. I am also inspired by the amazing floor covering which can be achieved at home by purchasing a large piece of canvas from an art store and painting out a pattern similar to the one seen in the image. Then coat the canvas with a layer of sealant to protect from wear and tare.

These Images are a mix of different spaces from when the show was in it’s first couple of seasons. The style then reflected something more down to earth, with it’s natural tones and interiors. The space at the top was the office of Dr. Troy and featured a grouping of Arne Jacobsen’s Egg Chairs in a taupe tone. The bedroom shown belonged to Dr. McNamara and his wife. This is clear as the space looks shared and has a feminine touch as if Mrs. McNamara had decorated herself. Finally, we have the living room of Dr. Troy which has a cool tone that allows the viewer to appreciate the art in the space.

So if you are looking to add a little Nip/Tuck to your home here are some piece you might want to consider.

A furniture company for the new modernist. Sleek and chic, each piece of furniture in designed to fit into any modern environment. The Corbin chair shown above offers a comfortable seating option and an excellent design style. Perfect for your office lobby, living room, den, or as an accent chair in the bedroom.  A great option for the lap top user is the Dell side table (seen above). The table pulls up to any chair or sofa and slides under the bottom, so you can work on your laptop with ease. This is also a great table to use while entertaining. Perfect for cocktails and a dish of nuts this style is the modern update of the “tv tray.”

One of my favorite things to do on a sunny summer afternoon is relax with a good book and a nice cold drink. The Bethany Arm Chair, above, is a great chair to kick back and relax in. Made of solid walnut and upholstered in black leather, which has been treated and is so comfortable and supple. This piece says high style but is offered at a great mid market price. Can you see yourself or your guest getting cozy in the Bethany arm chair? I know I do. It reminds me of a piece you might find in a home library or den. Where do you see the Bethany chair?

Nuevo has a variety of styles and collections ranging from classic modern to today’s contemporary. One of the more contemporary pieces is the Stephan Sofa, seen above top. This small scale piece is great for apartment or condo living. It’s also a great piece for those college students who are looking to furnish their first apartment. Sort of a classic through back, the Hermes Occasional Chair in white leather makes for a nice light weight chair that you can move around easy in the event of company. Light and airy is always a goal one tries to achieve in a modern interior and this chair will make it happen. My favorite dining table from Neuvo has to be the Victor. The tables black stone top and the tripod base are artistic and will add a sense of architectural style to your space.

Above: The Fresno Dining Table has great draftsman quality and style. The size is perfect for a six person dinner or offers a great alternative to a classic desk. Made of hard wood with turned legs this is a piece for all interiors. If you’re looking for stylish outdoor furniture Nuevo has several collections of woven pieces with soft cushions. The Low outdoor lounger fits to your form for maximum comfort and has a great sensual appearance that will make any one jealous.

Below: If you are looking to update, add or buy new lighting for your modern home Nuevo has an extensive collection of pendant lights, ceiling mounted pieces, floor and table lamps. Two of my favorite pendants are the Marina Pendant (below left) and Orba Pendant. (below right)

This is a final Interior Design Thesis presentations in movie form, from different semesters and different students. In their final thesis presentation the student needs to show all the skills he learned at Harrington College. The students can choose a 30-50,000 square foot project of their choice for the portfolio. They are writing a client profile, collect information, get inspirations, research the direction of their project, create a concept, do the diagrams for a program, build a model, sketch, develop the project in floor plans, create sections, developed the space, 3 dimensional elements (like stairs/openings in the space) and do the renderings of the space. The students are writing an environmental statement of the project. They choose furniture, colors, contrasts, materials, and create a detail. The Students have to ’sell ‘the project to the teacher and the critics and present their final project with an impressive presentation.
