Personalizing

Your Home or Office

If you are one of the traditional types, you are in a classic mood with a time-honored approach to decorating - and to life.  You like fine antiques and classic period pieces, floral prints, and richly finished dark woods.  You love balance and symmetry in your surroundings.                     

If you are a contemporary type,  you like clean, sleek and modern look.  You prefer bold colors, crisp lines, and well-designed accessories.  You choose to use great leather couch rather than an overstuffed chintz-covered sofa, to use chrome and glass rather than carved mahogany.           

If you are an adventure type, you enjoy a very eclectic look, with colors, patterns, materials, and objects from around the world.  Anything has its unique character attracted you highly.  You are not afraid to mix and match different styles. You love things that have lots of character.                    

If you are a romantic type, family mementos, fresh flowers, pastel colors, delicate prints, graceful lines, and soft fabrics are all highly surrounding the rooms. Your bedrooms in particular are very feminine. Your home is your sanctuary.           

If you are a serene type, you spend time quietly to enjoy the surroundings.  Harmony and comfort are important to your life and in decorating, too.  You like creamy neutrals, elegantly understated arrangements, lightly scented candles and green plants.  Less is more. 

Design is about understanding how scale and balance contribute to making a space look comfortable and inviting.

Design is about handling light. Design is about the way colors are chosen and mixed, matched or contrasted to their best effect. Design is about the way mixtures of texture and pattern built up to reflect the owner's personality.

Design is about creating the feeling.

Knowing that one's surroundings

and colors are key to enhanced moods

allows you to design

environments that support

positive feelings and activities.
