Establishing home décor is a fabulous opportunity to create fresh, current personal ambiance while also remaining timeless and flexible, proclaims one Nashville team of full-service interior design experts. The broad range of design and interior services of JFY Designs' professionals can be accessed at Le Studio, 2826 Dogwood Place, in Berry Hill, along with furniture, home accessories, original art and curated gifts.
Marie-Joe Bouffard, Le Studio founder and principal designer, reveals that her driving force is to create classic designs uniquely tailored to each client's story and style. "We enjoy getting to truly know our clients and determining what makes them feel great within their homes," she explains.
"Each JFY Designs' project, no matter its scope, is truly a one-of-kind experience," she assures. "We love to think outside of the box and rise to any challenge, but we take the time to listen to our clients and understand them so we can express their true points of view through our custom-designed spaces and homes."
Marie-Joe affirms that bespoke designs, color preferences and the range of sought-after materials or finishes enable them to add innovative personalizing options for family activity hubs.
"A few years ago, cooler decoration tones, such as white and gray, were popular. Now those have shifted to ivory and creams to make cozy, warmer homes. Chocolate brown is probably the strongest color this year so far," she adds.
While Marie-Joe says it's important to stay "in touch with what colors and trends are in," she and her team encourage clients to lean into end results that are neither too warm nor too cold. She believes it's best to create a neutral base of furniture and accessories, ones that are meaningful to each client, followed by incorporating pops of accent colors into rooms. She says her go-to base color is greige because it's not too taupe and not too beige.
"This year is a good time to add deep-green pillows, lush chocolate rugs or jewel-toned accessories into living spaces as ways to freshen already comfortable and desired looks," she states.
She also says artwork can really set the mood in various rooms, so that is a quick option for freshening home vibes. "Art has the power to move us, educate us, provoke us. I cannot imagine my life without art, and I love sharing that passion with my clients."
JFY Designs' stylists do quite a bit of planning and work for newly constructed homes. Marie-Joe says one of the primary motivators in design selections this year is self-care. For example, she's been designing bathrooms with attached infrared saunas. She says she's also been handling outdoor showers and cold plunge setups. "It's about creating sophisticated spaces that allow people to go in and out seamlessly, as well as to open up large doors for expanded entertaining," she adds.
Because people's homes reflect who they are, Marie-Joe suggests that modern-day interior design focuses on balancing styles and choices that make homeowners happy while still being pleasing to others who visit their homes.
"Most people are concerned about eventually reselling their homes. So, whether someone is an uber minimalist or someone who likes to display multiple collections, we like to design plans that are meaningful to them but still tasteful to others," Marie-Joe says. "One of the facts that make our design team elated is that homeowners often don't have to change much of their interior to put their houses on the market. Homes that we've designed often sell fast and with the furnishings requested and included in the sales."
