| Frequently
Asked Questions
1.
What is a good Design?
Good design is ultimately about Comfort.
What does Comfort mean to you? Look around you,
at how you and your family live. Good design caters to your needs,
and no-one else’s. It is about making your home work for
you, so that you look good and feel good in your own living space.
That is what makes your home unique.
2.
Does good Design have to be expensive?
No. Good design is about more than just good taste.
It is about balance and proportion, and having a living space
that fits intimately with your lifestyle. So whether you shop
at stores like Crate & Barrel, or purchase custom made furnishings
through a designer, the end result is the same.
3.
Why work with a Designer?
Because a Designer can make it all come together
for you, with minimal effort on your part. A designer is trained
to work out the intricacies of balance and proportion, and will
know what furnishings will or will not work in your home, thus
saving you the disappointment of costly mistakes. A designer will
also determine how your furniture should be arranged, a process
commonly referred to as ‘Space Planning’. This involves
careful measuring of your existing living space and furnishings,
and translating this information onto a precisely drawn Floor
Plan (usually done by computer). Your existing furniture will
be exactly replicated, or if new furniture is to be purchased,
the designer will work with those exact dimensions, all the while
making certain that everything will fit perfectly.
Designers have access to an incredible amount of products not
generally available or known to consumers. Highly specialized
artisans and craftspeople are additional resources available to
consumers through designers.
4.
Why should I consider Custom furnishings?
Furniture that has been custom made and tailored
to your lifestyle, will bring you years of satisfaction. The better
the quality, the longer it will last. (Think of beautifully crafted
18th century furniture, and how it has withstood the test of time).
Sofas and chairs can be customized to fit individuals who are
overly tall or short. These items are typically ordered from our
vendors with customized dimensions, or they can be designed from
scratch, exclusively for your home.
Likewise, storage needs can be precisely met with customized
cabinetry, so that everything has a designated place. With fabrics,
in particular, a designer can pull together a unique spectrum
of colors, weaves and textures that will enhance the comfort of
your home. The possibilities are endless.
