Everyone needs inspiration

Where do you find your inspiration?

For us, it can be found in a variety of locations. Some places we like to find inspiration are showcase houses, seasonal markets, and vendor launches. It helps us keep ahead of design trends that we can share with and incorporate for our clients.

In May we had the opportunity to go back and visit the Pasadena Showcase House down in sunny California. I especially love to visit as I was a participant years ago in my early design days - we won’t talk about how long ago that was. 😉

Inspiration + an escape from the rain? Yes, please!

The showcase does an excellent job of featuring a historic home modernized by a group of selected designers. This year we couldn’t help but notice the use of wallpaper everywhere.

Wallpaper is making a comeback and it’s not only for your living room walls. We saw treatments in closets, on ceilings, and on the back of bookshelves. It’s an interesting way to infuse color and dimension into your home.

There are different types of wall coverings to choose from as its available in vinyl, paper, or woven. Styles run the gamut from modern to traditional, classic motifs to abstract shapes.

We have a few projects in the works featuring unique wallpaper placement that we are also excited about. The finished product on this one will be gorgeous!

We're here if you have questions about wall coverings or are wondering how you might otherwise update your home. Contact us to inquire about our Designer for a Day package where we can support you in navigating the parts of your remodeling project that you find the most overwhelming.

Have a wonderful Independence Day!
