Interior Design Sense

As I begin to shop and scheme for a new client I have to keep in mind her mention and love for the color green.  It just so happens that emerald green is Pantone’s color of the year, so lucky for me, there’s some inspiration out there.  I’ve always loved green — it’s a color that surrounds us and makes our gardens, lawns and forests as pretty as they are.  It’s refreshing and relaxing which is why I can’t wait to get started and create a wonderful space for my client using green.  Take a look at some inspiration I’ve found while cruising the web:

love the black and whites against the emerald green walls

i love this bold leopard carpet against the emerald green built-ins

a lovely green chinoiserie

a splash of emerald green curtains

inspiration and colors can come from anywhere if you like it on a door you’ll like it on your walls

mix your greens!

nothing better than a tufted sofa with a pleated skirt in emerald green

mixing geometrics with patterns and various greens

playful and bold moments of green!

Perfectly on trend with the colored glass craze, this collection of Clift Glass Table Lamps from Pottery Barn is a light and airy addition to any casual, comfortable, eclectic setting. Inspired by an oversized wine jug spotted at a Sonoma winery, these glass table lamps have a wonderfully rustic quality that’s perfect for laid-back living rooms, relaxed reading rooms, and cottage-chic spaces where R&R is the name of the game. The hand-blown glass boasts a flawed, dappled texture which reminds us of weathered beach glass, scoured, shaped and faded by relentless crashing ocean waves. Choose from round and cylindrical shaped bases, available in transparent Blue, Espresso and Eggplant colors. Light up your home and visit Pottery Barn.

Have to admit, in recent months Overstock.com has become an increasingly “go to” source for me when sourcing for clients. Initially it began with clients emailing me their Overstock.com finds, often with a cringe (in comparison to some of the other great things I was finding elsewhere) but with budgets (& yes, those knock-offs!) it’s often hard to pass up! Especially with my online design clients, it has become a great resource for those looking to furnish their homes when on a budget!

{Several items seen in the above concept board were sourced from Overstock.com for a living room online design project I designed for a client, young first time homeowners that were looking to furnish their new home on a budget.}

This ottoman is available on Overstock.com for just $185, and comes in a range of colors including purple and taupe (I included the grey one on the concept board).

Also featured on the concept board, this lounge chair available on Overstock currently for $206.

For accessories, these throw pillows at just $22 (& included in the above design scheme too) make a great find!

And while I only showed one of these table lamps on the console table on the board, they come as a pair for only $184.

Some other great finds:

Manchester Nailhead Club Chair for $363.

Stuart Floor Lamp for $165.

Christopher Knight Home Adjustable Natural Fir Wood Finish Barstool for $116.

Gallery Linen Sofa with Pillows for $989.

Pair of Oak Finish Side Chairs (Two) for $162.

There is so much more…happy shopping!
