Need to decide what to do w cabinets
Rachel Dauchy
vor 7 Jahren
We are moving into a new house, and I am not sure if I should have the cabinets repainted, or if I should have new ones put in. I also would like to put in a wine fridge with the bar area. My last house had a brand new kitchen, and I didn't need to do a thing. These cabinets are 12 years old, so they probably do not need to be replaced at this point, but I need a whole new look. Thanks!

Colour to acccompany stone wall
Kommentare (3)I agree with the cooler colours suggested above. Your stone wall has plenty of soft, powder pinks and yellows and therefore appears very lively. The biggest mistake people make is to match the beautiful colours of stone with wall paint of equal liveliness which leads to a rivalry between colour and stone. A much subtler approach is needed. Check the stone for it least visible colours create a complimentary colour match. There might be hidden very subtle, sand greys and soft pebble colours which then will let your wall shine in the way you have envisaged it....mehrChoosing an Interior Designer
Kommentare (0)Choosing an Interior Designer If you are thinking of working with an interior designer, be aware that the relationship is, by its very nature, intimate. Given this, you reap immeasurable benefits when you take some time upfront to consider just what it is you want from this person you're about to invite into your life. As with any relationship, clear communication can go a long way to alleviating any misunderstandings. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, questions to ask prospective designers, and some hard-won tips we've picked up along the way. Assess Your Work Style Before you pick up the phone and start calling prospects, spend a few moments thinking carefully about your preferred method of working. This little bit of soul searching will go a long way to ensuring you hire the right person, and will help to lay a solid foundation for a successful working relationship. For starters, think carefully about your answer to these questions: At what level do you want to be involved in the creative process? Do you want to be consulted on the nitty-gritty, day-to-day details, or are you more interested in big picture issues? Similarly, at what level do you want to be involved in the product research? Are you looking for comprehensive, "soup to nuts" guidance, or do you consider yourself design-savvy and only in need of assistance with color, space planning and resources? Are you a visual person or a tactile person? Will you be satisfied with a designer showing you photos of products, or do you prefer to see and feel everything before deciding whether it is right for you? Do you prefer to be shown many options or fewer? Are you open to the input of others? Are you able to make choices with confidence, or do you tend to vacillate? What are your expectations in terms of a timeline Determine the Scope of Your Project The scope of a project to some extent dictates the qualifications and experience required of the interior designer you are hiring. If you are building a new home or addition, or undertaking a major renovation to existing space, you are likely already working with an architect. This is good. Architects and designers often work in concert, balancing the aesthetics of the home's structure, or "bones," with the interior furnishings and finishes. You may want to get your architect involved in the selection of the interior designer—whether it's recommending someone he or she has already worked with, or using one of the interior designers the firm may have on staff. If you're redecorating a single room or have a limited budget for a space that does not require structural change, you may not need an interior designer at all. You may be happy hiring a specialist, such as a color consultant, who can work with your existing furnishings and help you revamp the space with new paint color and fabric selections....mehrWhat colour/fabric for soft furnishings
Kommentare (19)Hi Ella, first of all, let me say that you have some really nice vintage pieces in your home! If you are planning to keep the light grey rug I would go with a darker shade of grey for the daybed and a lighter shade or a completely different color for the fabric of the sidechair (e.g. like the dark blue in your third photo) in order to create more contrast and give the room a more dynamic feel. You also mentioned a portrait to be hung above the sideboard - maybe the colors of this picture can aslo inspire the fabrics, it's always nice if the same color pops up in different details of a room. I hope this helps in your decision making process and I would love to see the results. Many greetings Anita Goda from Studio Wunderkammer...mehrColorful carpet
Kommentare (5)Hi Valerie, Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I am trying since forever to find some pillows in a similar color like the mint in the carpet, but with no success till now. The carpet is 190X290 cm, in the pics is not completely unfolded. Hopefully it will fit well. A big piece of artwork is also on my wishlist, but i feel i need to buy those pillows first . Not an easy task to find the rigt color and material. Regards, Andra...mehrEllen Dorado
vor 7 JahrenHi. I agree with taking down the wallpapers and paint the walls instead. The cabinets are worth to keep along with the counters. To get your new look, you may want to give the lines some darker depth. And the base darker too. It will make a good accent from the floor where it is now.
Have fun!

vor 7 JahrenTry updating your cabinet hardware. It looks like there are only knobs being used right now, using pulls and knobs would be a great way to compliment your kitchen!
