Before & After living room - Bergen County NJ interior designer

PAINT is the easiest and most affordable way to make a BIG impact change to any space!  For the price of a couple of gallons of paint you can really transform a room from blah to WOW!  I shared an example of this in an earlier blog post but it's time for a reminder :)  I came across this photo from Left and Level and it's the perfect illustration of what paint can do to a room. Of course I also love the warm and cozy leather chair and patterned rug which are paired perfectly together:

Who is ready to take the plunge and change a paint color in your home?!  If you are in my travel area (45 minutes of Wyckoff NJ) then contact me to set up a design consultation so that I can come to your house with my Benjamin Moore swatches and find the perfect color for your space. If you are outside of the Bergen County NJ area, I can still help you via email/Skype. 

If you have an idea for a future blog post topic, leave it for me in the comments!

Living Room inspiration - NJ interior designer

I am busy working on a living room design for a new client and am having so much fun sourcing everything to create a comfortable and stylish space! 

I would describe my style as Joanna Gaines meets West Elm. I love using white in every room but also love using natural wood tones and blues/greys are always my favorite colors.

Here are a few of my inspirational photos of living spaces. I am loving this coffee table and may just end up buying this for my own house!

I love this space by Amber Interiors and how she mixed the grey sectional with leather chairs and wooden coffee table.

Love this console table with the black mirror and white walls. I can totally see this table used in a living room, behind a sofa or on a side wall.

Master Bedroom Inspiration- Northern NJ interior designer

This week I am all about master bedrooms because I am working on designing one for an awesome client with a large space and tall ceilings.  I can't wait to show the before/after photos of her space. As I was sourcing items for my client I had so much fun looking at beautiful inspiration photos like these two below from Studio McGee.  I love the combination of the dark grey fabric bed with the really cool wooden night tables. And those pillows are perfection!

 

Isn't this StudioMcGee bedroom amazing! I love that leather bench with the white and feminine rug/bedding. And those floors!!!

I love the combination below of the bedding with the wooden dresser! I always love blues and browns mixed with greys.

If you are interested in redesigning your master bedroom I would love to help you!  Doesn't matter if you live in the Bergen County NJ area or outside of New Jersey (we can work remotely using email/Skype).  I would love the opportunity to be your interior designer and create your dream master bedroom retreat!

Top 3 Paint Colors- Bergen County interior designer

I love picking out paint colors and through the years have found that I have a "go-to" short list of favorites! All are Benjamin Moore.

1. Titanium
I first discovered this color years ago and have used it in my spaces in my own home and for clients as well.  It's a soft clay that can read blue or green ever so slightly depending on the light.

2. Swiss Coffee
This is such a creamy white and perfect for when you want white walls that aren't BRIGHT white. This palette really lets your art work and accessories shine.

3.  Bone Black
I fell in love with this color when we used it on our kitchen island and then used it again in our guest bath.  It's got a little more depth to it and looks great with black accents.
