The beginning stages of the design process can be a lot to wrap your head around. There are fabric swatches, paint chips, furniture placement – all of the things that you really need to be able to visualize before anything else. That’s why we use renderings to share with our clients to show exactly how their design plan will come together.

To really get a feel for the finished design plan we meet with you and bring you not only the fabric swatches, paint chips, and pictures of the furniture selections, but we also help you visualize your finished space with renderings. We can all see what your home will look like, simply and beautifully.

As we share the design plan and renderings with you to help you visualize the finished space, we want you to look closely at every detail. You can tweak the design to meet your needs and lifestyle. Take a look at the rendering of this basement kitchen showing bar stools with seat backs. In the finished photo you’ll see barstools without seat backs. We want you to tell us what works best for you. We can always adjust the design plan with beautiful selections to meet your needs.

We have featured this Family Room before, noting how much we love the gallery wall our client arranged. We wanted to keep this as a part of the new design plan and we just love how it turned out! Our clients are able to really see how their finished space will look like, how it will feel, and how it will be arranged. Renderings are integral part of the design process. It’s a beautiful way to truly visualize how your space will be transformed.

The right accessories really help pull a room together. From traditional to modern, your design style can be reflected in the accessories you choose. One of my favorite ways to brighten a space is with white accessories. From pillows to vases and everything in between, white is a favorite go-to of mine for bringing sophistication and crisp style to any room.

This dark room with stone walls and deep wood finishes needed something to balance the heaviness of the deep tones and textures. We teamed up with Sherry Hart Designs at the St. Philip’s Cathedral Show House in Atlanta to lighten this room up. Sherry also loves white accessories! We chose a soft, comfy white chair and accessorized with a row of white vases on the desk to brighten up this dark, masculine room. We just love it!

Here’s a great tip for adding white to your tables and bookcases…wrap your books in white kraft paper. It’s an easy way to instantly add height and balance to your other accessories without the book covers being a distraction. We love how this vignette turned out. Polished, crisp, and full of interest.

Accessorizing with white, especially when we’re talking about pillows, rugs, or other fabrics, can be a time of worrying about wear or dirt – especially when you have children or pets. I understand! Choosing fabrics that are washable is key. A pillowcase can unzip and be laundered, a bath mat can be thrown in the wash. Here’s a snapshot of my life, white rug, dog and all!

Add some pop to your table top with white vases and bowls. Functional and beautiful, what’s better than that?!
