RESTYLING – Use Your Own Furniture

Looking at your tired walls and knowing it’s time to repaint….this is the perfect time to consider a “RESTYLE” of the room.

If the focus is the living room, most of the items in the room are removed or covered when preparing to paint.

Now you have a beautiful blank canvas to work with. Why not invest in a little professional help to create the best use and flow of the space.

By choosing key pieces to go back into the room we help you create an inviting conversation area…where you love to spend time.

SPACE PLANNING

Furniture layout  (where you place your furniture) is important for traffic flow and to create the best possible conversation area.

FURNITURE SELECTION

Choosing the right “scale” of furniture is one of the key elements for pulling a room together.

Also consider fabric content, fabric vs. leather options and your lifestyle.

PAINT & COLOUR CONSULTATION

Do you choose your wall colours first or last?  What are the best colours…dark or light? Is it better to paint with one colour through out or should you pick more so your space doesn’t become boring? Selecting a colour scheme is made easy with a Home Consultation.

CLASSIC TRENDS

Accessorizing a room finishes it! Using trendy items is not good or bad…it’s about what fits with your personality, style and the look of the room you are trying to create.

Allowing a trendy item of two can instantly update a space and it’s a must to accessorize with personal items you have collected over time and still love.

Get three boxes and label them:  Toss, Donate and Sell. Fill the boxes.
