Designing Wall Color: Why We Love the Paint Consultation

Y'all, we are excited! (all the jazz hands emojis over here!). It's no secret that we love color in design especially wall color.

The science and theory behind the perfect color choice for each space is something that we never stop exploring, and continues to be one of the most requested interior design services in our studio year after year.

Occupying Wall Space: Placing Beautiful Art

Over many years of looking at spaces both new and old, we've seen our fair share of tall walls, long halls, and blank surfaces. Large empty space can feel pretty lonely (especially these days), and even if it's just one or two walls, it usually isn't something anyone wants to stare at for an extended period of time. Whether it's a new build, a redesign, or a session of focused space planning, clients have come to us in all phases and stages for help decking the walls. This is something that comes with the territory of Full-Service Design, and one of the (many) great things about this is that it has given us a great deal of practice in sourcing, selecting, and placing unique, custom wall art. But rather than just throwing some stock pictures up there and calling it good, there's a method to our process and a lot of consideration that goes into how we make art a meaningful part of the design vision.
