Transitional
Transitional style is a marriage of traditional and contemporary furniture, finishes, materials and fabrics equating to a classic, timeless design. Furniture lines are simple yet sophisticated, featuring either straight lines or rounded profiles. Fabric is as diverse as graphic patterns on overstuffed sofas and textured chenilles on sleek wood frames. The transitional palette relies on a lack of color to evoke a clean, serene atmosphere. Dark brown can add depth to a neutral balance of taupe, tan and vanilla. The lack of color makes room for interesting textures. Other good choices for a transitional space are soft ultrasuedes, pliable leathers and nubby chenilles. -
Modern Farm House
Modern Farmhouse was a response to the minimalist trends of the 1990’s and 2000’s. People wanted to return to the more comfortable details of the past. Farmhouse style in general is known for coziness, comfort, and charm; and yet adding Modern elements, created by the focus of practicality, neutral colours and space, give it a widespread appeal. Neutrals range in the pale and more subdued palette, whether cool or warm (blue-greys, mauves, soft greys, softer versions of white, etc.), organic or natural fibers and materials are important, and open space planning. Industrial accents, which can have a modern touch, are usually indicative of farm/ranch tools and machinery...and the practical lifestyle of a farm home. Wrought iron, wide flooring planks, painted brick, and antiques are part of the design. -
Modern
Modern design favors low, horizontal furnishings with clean strong lines. Mirrored and chromed surfaces are a hallmark. Natural materials such as unpainted wood, metals, leather, and natural fibers are often used. In Modern decorating, colors lean toward naturals or neutrals. The celebration of natural light and unadorned windows are commonly seen in Modern dwellings. -
Contemporary
Contemporary furniture pieces should make a bold statement but at the same time be simple and uncluttered, without curves or decoration. Smooth, clean, geometric shapes are essential. Upholstered furniture often wears black, white, or other neutral tones in textured natural fibers found in wool, cotton, linen, silk, jute to add textural appeal. The palette is often punched up and accented with bright and bold colors. Sofas, chairs, and ottomans often have exposed legs. Beds and chairs usually have no skirt, trim, fringe, or tassels. They’re basic, bare, bold, and structural. -
Vintage - Old World Charm
We stage homes built between 1890-1940 in our region with this design style. The homes must be representational of the era they were built in. Original character and original features must be present. If a home has been updated to such a degree that it lost its original character, we then will stage it with furniture that accentuates its current interior aesthetic. -
Craftsman
These homes are known for the attention to detail, especially of the outside world and nature. They usually have gabled roofs, stucco walls, beautiful unpainted woodwork, square posts on porches, a variety of roofing types, and sometimes brick. Often the wallpaper also echoed scenes of nature. (And they are still printed and sold today.) It was important to provide a transition from the outdoors. Paint colours were earthy tones and hues, and usually flow with all the wood in these rooms. The house and the interior usually flow together, and become a neutral background. Wood floors often have detailed rugs in florals and some geometrics, and in soft or muted tones. The star in these rooms, are often the detailed quality of the furniture pieces, staircases, or other woodwork. -
Mid Century Modern
Influence of modernism design mixed with graphic and chunky strong statements is how we would describe Mid Century Modern Furniture. The style has not passed the saturation point and it blends seamlessly with so many other periods and styles. Mid Century is about more than the individual furniture pieces. I think of that era of manufacturing as particularly fertile and creative in terms of the materials used, like plastics, fiberglass, wood, metal, etc. You will find designs where form follows function. There is a vast range of color, from neutral to bold, including black and white. -
Luxury
If we go back into history, every era provides us with great examples of an opulent or luxurious lifestyle. Some of the best high end designers describe a difference between the words Luxury and Luxe. Luxury is sometimes described or seen as items that are frequently high-end, highly detailed, opulent, or expensive. Luxe is sometimes explained as being the way of expressing that sense of style. As time has progressed, many modern seekers of a luxurious lifestyle also feel it isn’t just about cost and quality. Sustainability, eco-friendliness, conflict-free, etc. have become some of the characteristics they seek. Quality is also including character.
