The difference between designing bars and restaurants, which we do a lot of, and designing a home (which we also do a good deal of) is that a bar or restaurant is a highly experiential space, while a home is a comfortable, livable space. However, one place in the home that's great for adding a bit of flair is the powder room.  It's a small space that can be designed to make a big impression, whether with tile, wall-covering, a funky mirror, unique lighting or a bit of bling. Check out these rooms to get your inspiration going!

It’s that entertaining time of year when family & friends are coming for dinner and party season is in full swing.  Does your entryway welcome guests to your home?  Here are some key considerations for a welcoming and functioning foyer as well as links to some of our current, favorite entryway finds:

An ENTRY TABLE provides a drop zone for keys, phones & handbags for both you and guests.  It’s also great display space for seasonal decor, a special photo or an interesting table lamp.

For lighting, consider a fun CHANDELIER or interesting PENDANT.  Either works well in a foyer to illuminate the entry as well as to further define the space as special.

COAT HOOKS or RACKS provide guests self-serve access to their coats, scarves & belongings.

MIRRORS work double duty in an entry providing an opportunity to reflect light as well as provide that quick 
vanity check.

SEATING, whether a single chair, stool or bench allow guest to remove shoes or set bags.

For flooring consider an area rug, specifically a RUNNER that helps define the entryway as its own space as well as minimizing dirt tracked into the home.  Runners come in all kinds of fun colors and can easily be swapped out depending on your tastes and the season.
