Acampora Interiors

“Making antiques livable in modern-day design…”

"We love to look for ways to incorporate antique pieces into our design projects. 新旧结合需要在保留古董的历史魅力与使其适应现代功能和美学之间找到平衡. In our Suburban Retreat project, 我们在餐厅里增加了一些古董椅子，这些椅子需要修改以适应传统桌子的高度. Working with an expert craftsman, we created extensions to the legs that perfectly matched the existing design. A little trade secret that really paid off."

Digs Design Company

“Incorporate the unexpected…”

“我希望我所有的空间都能传递一种乐趣，最好的方法就是加入意想不到的元素, a bit of a surprise statement, that takes the room to the next level. 当大胆的颜色和纺织品分层时，我的技巧是平衡-我用安静的时刻抵消了声明，并用复古的家具和天然材料来衬托颜色. 我们在设计中加入了有趣的个性色彩和惊喜元素，而不会干扰主要生活区域的流动."

Eric Haydel Design

“Mix and match your rugs: what’s under your feet never has to break the bank…”

"A designer’s best friends are always their trade sources; even sources like Stark Carpet, who offers both contemporary and traditional approaches to rugs and carpeting. 通常在客户的预算范围内，我们会使用斯塔克的宽幅地毯 & 把它们裁成合适的尺寸，同时用对比鲜明的棉或皮革镶边装订或修剪，以达到“只适合你的家”的效果. Add in traditional, 在你的脚下放置一些现代的甚至是艺术的东西，会为你的家增添个性."

Erin Gates Design

“Don’t be afraid of mixing patterns…”

"Everyone has a different tolerance for mixing patterns. Some people like the cacophony of an eclectic and busy mix; others prefer something more calming. A safe rule of thumb: in one room you can mix one geometric pattern, one small scale or stripe, and one organic (floral, paisley, etc.) among your rugs, upholstery, pillows, and drapes. Having a home that creates a sense of peace, happiness and expression is an invaluable asset to a well lived life."

Heather Vaughan Interior Design 

“It’s all about collaboration…”

“我们相信，最持久和成功的设计项目是一个值得信赖的客户之间合作的结果, an open and experienced design team, and valued trade partners. Good design is always co-created. We listen carefully to our clients’ needs, wants, and wishes and encourage them to share inspirations and ideas. 客户参与设计开发过程，使我们能够根据他们的品味和生活方式定制非常详细的设计. That spirit of open communication and collaboration extends to our trades people, artisans, and makers. These valued partners are behind the custom work that HVD is known for."

Interiology Design Co.

“It’s your home. Don’t be afraid to show off your personal style…”

"Our design team starts every project by listening. What do you love? How do you want your space to feel? Together, 我们探索设计理念，创造超出您期望的个性化解决方案. 我们的客户喜欢蓝色，所以在这个厨房项目中，我们将光泽漆与现代胡桃木橱柜搭配在一起. For the family home on the right, we carried our clients’ love of color throughout, 从带有大胆艺术作品和墙纸天花板的用餐区到他们孩子的房间，墙纸模仿了家里的水景."

Kate Coughlin Interiors 

“Every room needs a surprise…”

"The best part of our job is working with trusting clients. Every room needs a surprise. 这是客户最初可能会纠结的事情，最终会腾出空间. Our test is always, 'Do we truly love it?' and 'Would we want to live there?'"

Kotzen Interiors

“Each room should speak for itself…”

“我的设计是永恒的，但对每个客户来说都是独一无二的，反映了他们的个性和生活方式. The inspiration for every space is the client themselves, 以空间的预期功能作为设计过程的驱动力. With these key factors in mind, 我开始将纹理和图案分层，并在每个空间中平衡颜色. 古色古香的书写斜面是我的“首选”，因为它们为任何设计风格增添了一点历史色彩."

Robin Gannon Interiors 

“Live life in layers…”

“在罗宾甘农室内设计公司，我们都是365体育官网客户端分层的，智能的设计，并向过去致敬. As our designs reflect, we think about spaces in layers. Each layer complements the one before it, creating richness and depth. This is very much like our lives: our experiences, interests, passions, and travels create the people we become. We believe your home should reflect that! Playing with color and texture, mixing the old and the new – this is how we create truly timeless spaces."

SLC Interiors 

“在有限的非中性调色板中工作，创造出充满冲击力的空间，但仍能唤起一种宁静的感觉……”

"Designing a relaxing room doesn’t mean you can’t use color and pattern. 在这个主卧室里，我们用了美丽的珊瑚墙纸来赋予房间个性. We’ve balanced it with crisp whites and soft hues in similar tones, so there’s a sense of consistency and order. You don’t need to use a monochromatic palette to achieve this holistic feel, rather, work within a narrow range of saturation across the color wheel. 它将帮助你的房间保持一种宁静的感觉，并允许图案和纹理的简单和有趣的混合. The result: a unique and forward feeling Primary Bedroom."

Taste Design Inc.

“Let art lead the way…”

"When you have a client with a compelling art collection, let it serve as a springboard for the design. By selecting quality millwork and finishes and carefully planning interior spaces, you allow each work of art to have a revered place while retaining the classic, comfortable feel of a coastal summer home. Helping create this congruous arrangement is Benjamin Moore’s Cloud Cover, painted on the walls, trim, and ceiling of the living spaces. This uniform canvas lets art lead the way and helps ensure our compositions."

Trellis Home Design

“将经典设计与现代色彩和图案相结合，创造出新鲜而永恒的感觉……”

"I love juxtaposing classic style with a more contemporary use of color, 艺术或织物——我们的许多项目都是二级度假屋，为不同年龄的家庭建造，用于聚会和娱乐. 我们专注于创造不仅美丽而且反映每个客户生活方式的住宅, 但也要吸引所有年龄段的人，成为家庭和朋友为后代创造回忆的特殊场所."
