The most versatile coffee table you’ll ever own is an ottoman topped with a tray. It never goes out of fashion.

I am so happy you chose the light grey sofas with the white wicker for our outdoor room, they look absolutely fantastic. I was very unsure of what colour to choose. The new pink cushions look really funky. Thanks so much!!

Thanks so much for coming around today to put the new bongo cover on. It looks so good.
Control Clutter
There are always interesting ways to store objects that are needed in a room, e.g.. storage cubes, baskets, covered decorative boxes, ottomans. Bookshelves look very attractive with fabric covered boxes that hide clutter. Coffee Tables with low shelves can also be used to store books, boxes etc. Sometimes the more space you have the more objects you accumulate. Keep shelving organised.
When Decorating a Living Room – Furniture First
Always choose the furniture first and look for pieces that are light in colour and have legs. Lighter colours occupy less visual weight and sofa’s with legs provide an unobstructed view of the floor, allowing the space to appear more open. Coffee tables in metal and glass also allow the eye to move throughout the pieces consuming little visual space while dark wood furniture has the opposite effect.

Simone, I didn’t thank you today for making the time to get as much of the items done for this weekend. With the sun pouring in the back room this afternoon the cushions look really funky. Many thanks!

I never thought I would hire an interior designer, but you were so easy to work with and I think one of the most valuable parts of the experience was that you had access to suppliers and products that I would never had known existed (and I really love the idea of paying wholesale prices, who knew things were marked up that much?). Plus, there was the fact you have great taste and understanding about what can make rooms feel comfortable and come alive.
We look forward to working with you again.

A kitchen island can be an inexpensive and attractive way to expand your counter space. An island can also help you add a second sink, dishwasher, or oven to your kitchen.
