Diane contacted me asking to help with her great room, and I had a blast doing it! It's a long narrow space with pretty bright yellow walls.
Client direction: Simple, clean modern space with classic elements. Wall color, sofa and dining room table/chairs must stay. Prefers artwork over mirrors.

Decorator direction:
Large black and white modern antique print above the fireplace, slate tiles for fireplace surround, ghost chairs to replace ottomans. Collection of blue vases no a small black pedestal table and a small mirror behind. White drapery with gray fabric bottom and blue ribbon trim. Minimal accessories.
*As you can see, my idea board has changed a bit now that I'm working my way towards a full time decorating gig. It's larger, and I will also no longer be posting source information. Since my clients pay for this design service, I'd like to keep this portion of their results personal. I hope you understand :)

Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI know that other designers wait to post the moodboard sources until the client has had a chance to make their purchases and such...that's perhaps something to think about. :)
Great idea board. Love the drapes! I agree, you shouldn't give away your sources--that's how the pro's do it!
ReplyDeleteGreat mood board. I saw someone else mention this, but I must agree that it would be nice to post the source of items a week or so after you've shown the board to your clients to give your readers a chance to purchase the items while providing your client first chance to acquire some or all of the items. I've seen it done this way at younghouselove.com, and it's so nice to be see a piece that might work in our own homes and then have the option to purchase it.
