Just in case your Italian is a little rusty, Ciao bella tavioli laterali means Hello Beautiful Side Tables! Beautiful they are. These great accent pieces are from the Ambella Home Collection which was founded by George Moussa in 1995 and recently celebrated their 10 year anniversary. The son of an importer, George had his father as a business/importing mentor from an early age and over the years has created his own passion for the business.

Each piece in the Ambella Home and Best Design Collections is uniquely designed for the line and manufactured overseas. The production is meticulously managed so that a beautiful piece is the final result every time – from the production sample shown at market to a reorder one year later. Overseeing the selection of the best raw materials, using skilled carvers and craftsmen, artistic finishers and packing the piece so it arrives without damage are just a few ways Ambella know they can stand behind the quality of their furniture.

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.

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.

For Covet is fun and exciting, and they deliver “in weeks, not months”, have tons of fabrics and bunch of styles, which probably covers all our clients dream of, when it comes to great upholstery choices.

…Oh, and an unbeatable style not only when it comes to furniture, but also in everyday decision making. See for yourself:

“Covet, a provocative and stimulating furniture company based out of Grand Rapids, MI, was recently aroused to such a point of titillation that they simply had to hire a hot, new designer, Peter Jacobs.

Peter is a principal of the alluring, independent design firm profile-Peter Jacobs, which specializes in hands on design practices for an ever growing, diverse clientele. When asked what drew Peter to make a play for Covet, his eyes sparkled with mischief as he flashed his signature rakish grin.

“I was irresistibly drawn to Covet’s sensual lines. I just couldn’t keep my hands off her frames. The visceral beauty inherent in Covet’s offerings is deeply compelling. I would find myself stroking the coverings with such longing that I knew I simply had to have Covet for myself.”

Peter pauses and leans back in his chair as runs his large hands through his tousled, brown hair. He crosses his long legs and stares pensively, lost in thought.

He continues, “For me, when I am consumed with such a burning desire, there’s just no turning back. I simply must have the object of my attention. Fortunately, Covet had an opening that I was able to penetrate with relative ease.”

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.

It is amazing what the students learn and execute at Harrington by computer. Recently, Peter Klick, an instructor told me that final projects are handed in on a memory stick. Boy, things have changed since I went there! In the day, I was dragging my large boards in my oversized portfolio case in the rain, sleet and snow. I am beginning to sound like my mother who walked 6 miles to school!

Good Morning!  Enjoy your morning sunrise and come back in a little bit for some wonderful furniture inspiration!

Life can be complicated and busy.  With Aidan Gray Furniture, the simple feel and look allows your mind to uncomplicated….there is something to be said for simple. With Aidan Gray you can create an environment that reflects your personal style.  The Aidan Gray line has a classically aged and distinctive flavor. Their perspective is that nothing is ever too old or dilapidated, chipped or too worn.

Great Dining Chairs with style can be found at Aidan Gray. When you find that great dining table at your local flea market, these chairs  are the perfect fit.  Much of the Aidan Gray product is solid wood, spun and carved by hand.  Each piece then is distressed  by hand in a 5 step process.  The weathered Paris Finish is a heavily distressed finish which includes chunks of wood removed from the surface, heavy distressing and varying degrees of finishing on each side.

Aidan Gray is featured in some of the most prominent magazines such as Domino, Veranda, Elle Decor, D Home and Southern Accents just to name a few.

Constructed from European Oak each frame is carved and then burnished to a rustic patina and covered with elegant light linen and burlap.  Seat cushion is hand tied springs which delivers a firm seat lasting much longer than your basic stuffing.  Each loose cushion is foam wrapped down and set into a pocket before covering.

Bleached and beautiful.  Whether you love natural full time or for your vacation home, Aidan Gray hits a bulls eye with design and finish.  European Oak finishes are more rustic in their finish appearance and are not smooth to the touch.  You should expect a raised texture finish.

Aidan Gray has a broad line from upholstery, occasional to case-goods where you can accomplish the feel of simplicity through out your home. The Grand Roll Library Club Chair is constructed from European Oak and each frame is carved and then burnished to a rustic patina.  Seat cushion are in hand tied springs which delivers a firmer seat lasting much longer than your basic stuffing.  Each loose is a cushion foam wrapped down set into a pocket before covering.  Exposed nail heads lend to a more uneven edge appearance and bumps.
