Spending more time at home recently? If so, you may be reaching for your interior designer’s number to address a few flaws (or opportunities for restyling) that escaped attention back before house arrest. Luckily, our local home and design resources have your back. We asked them to address some common mistakes to help elevate your space and make it a more habitable hideaway.
HOME OFFICE
The Problem - The desk—or a second or third one, for families on a virtual school schedule—often gets shoved in a corner or space with no windows or fresh air.
The Fix - Find the perfect statement piece desk which you will be proud to show off in any room of the house.
We Recommend - An elegantly casual desk from Basset Furniture a desk so beautiful from all sides that it'd almost be a shame to place it against a wall.
LIVING ROOM
The Problem - Living rooms used to be furnished for good looks, not hanging out or relaxing. Now form and function are equally important.
The Fix - Group furniture in ways conducive to conversation. Place one comfortable chair to the left of the sofa at a 90-degree angle and another angled toward the grouping.
We Recommend - Cedrick Natural accent side chair with nailhead detail from The Nest combined with a couple of bold statement pillows from Ricochet.
DINING ROOM
The Problem - When friends and family come for the Holidays, the formal dining table becomes the focus of attention.
The Fix - Find a bold table that sets the stage for the family meals and works well has a workspace for the kids and adults the rest of the time.
We Recommend - A classic European style, Italian Lyre Dinning Table from Maison Blue or a Stratton solid wood table is made from 100% reclaimed lumber at Roost Gift & Home Collection
