Shelf Styling Tips - NJ interior designer

Built ins are so much fun to style but can definitely be overwhelming. My own built ins in my family room are in a constant state of change as I move things around and buy new things. It’s fun for me to play :)

Here are a couple of tips if you are going to update your shelves:

1. Start by taking everything off the shelves

2. Put the big items on the shelves first and make sure you have items that are various different heights and shapes

3. Use greenery (whether it’s real or faux)

4. Add in books

Happy Shopping!

Bergen County interior designer - Ramsey NJ living room

I am so thrilled to share this recently completed living room transformation. My client already had her sectional and drapes but everything else is brand NEW. I love the shape of the new coffee table and the rug is so soft and has the prettiest shades of blue and grey.

Here is the other side of the room where you can see the new pillows, art and leather ottoman.

NJ interior designer Ridgewood - console table refresh

I am SO excited about how this space came out in my client’s living room. We started with a blank slate - everything that was currently there was being removed. I love how this new dark console table really anchors the space and is a contrast to the light walls. There are these cool tabs as pulls and the metal legs are very fresh and modern. The art is definitely a showstopper and just a few simple accessories is all that was needed to complete the space.

I always like to see where a space started from whenever I see an “after” photo because I think it’s so fun to see how much can change. So here is a before / after for you!! You will notice that the new console table fills up more of the wall and that the larger statement art really makes more of an impact. The closed storage is also more practical for this family with 3 young children.

NJ interior designer in Wyckoff - Bergen County

A farmhouse sink and a wall of windows were both on my must-have list when designing our kitchen. And even when the sink is full of dishes (like it is right now), I still love it!!

Such a simple way to accessorize the kitchen countertops is with succulents and greenery. I have such a big collection of vases and planters and love to switch them out and move things around.

Here are some of my favorite vases and planters for the kitchen!
