Hanging art in your home - Ridgewood NJ interior designer

I have a new project that I can’t wait to share with you! This is #projectmodernlandmark and it’s a new build that I started working on in June and it just took forever for everything to finally be delivered. I’m starting with a small preview just to share a couple of the prints that we have selected for display.

The main living area is an open space for kitchen, dining and living. This wall features a 24x20 print called Lady Liberty and we had it framed via Framebridge. When filling a large wall, many people get scared of ordering something large but if you go too small it will get lost.

And here is another 18x24 Abstract print called Sea and Sky that is in a CB2 frame. It really fills up the wall above this beautiful sideboard in the dining area.

When I was at the home to take these photos, the light fixture above the dining table hadn’t arrived yet. But now it is here so I will return to take the rest of the photos of this beautiful space to share next week along with the 4 bedrooms. Stay tuned!

How to mix and match pillows - Ridgewood area interior designer

I love pillows and always enjoy selecting them when I am working on a client project. This week on Instagram, I shared this photo of my family room and I wanted to chat a little about how to mix and match pillows.

Pick a color palette and take into account what colors will work with the sofa/chair/bed that the pillows will be on.

Have fun with patterns and don’t be afraid to deviate from a traditional “set” of pillows for a more curated look.

Play with different sizes so that you have a combination of larger (24 or 22”) pillows in the back and smaller pillows in front.

In this living room we paired a couple of different blue pillows with an ivory pillow for contrast.

In this space I searched for pillows that would compliment the beautiful pattern in the rug and fell in love with this combination of earthy tones paired with blue lumbar pillows.

And in my “ackermanhomeproject living room you can see those sweet green striped pillows in the back on the brown leather chairs. And then on the ivory sofa I brought in some blue with the larger pillow and a more neutral lumbar pillow in front.

Happy Shopping!

Ridgewood NJ interior designer Project Reveal

Here is a tiny preview from a multi room project in Ridgewood NJ that I’ve been working on since the spring and is finally (almost) done! We are waiting on the custom shade for the window but otherwise this powder room has been transformed. My clients are not afraid to go BOLD, so we did! I think a powder room is the perfect place to feature a dramatic wallpaper like this showstopper.

Much more to come from my #gardnerhomeproject soon!!

Here is a closer view of the pretty paper and vanity top!

I love this fun art! It is a Limited Edition screen print.

Here is a BEFORE photo of this Ridgewood bathroom. The home is from the 1930’s and it was a pretty obvious decision to keep this beautiful marble top vanity when we were planning the transformation.

And here is the most exciting thing that happened to me this week! Phillip Jeffries shared my work on their Instagram page of over 171k followers!! This was such a huge thrill and honor for me to have my work recognized by the leader in wallcoverings!

Project Reveal - Bedroom transformation Glen Rock interior designer

Here is the final space from my #AckermanHomeProject. To see the rest of this home click here for the downstairs and here for the baby nursery.

This bedroom is on the 3rd floor of the home so the ceilings are low but thankfully we were able to get the bed up all of the stairs and into the space. Yay!

Here is a BEFORE

On the wall is a framed 18x24 print of Foggy Day in the City from Clover Print Shop. This is one of my favorite abstract prints.

We maximized the small space with night stands that offer ample storage space.

And here’s a closer look at the pretty pillows that coordinate with the colorful rug.
