“Custom Inspiration Rooms”… lets you create a look you know you’ll love
Need more than a design consultation for ideas but not full service?
Then this is designed for you…
“Custom Inspiration Rooms” created for your taste and space as a “Shopping Guide” to create the look
We’ll suggest the decorating colors, styles, and arrangement without diving into the details of selecting the exact pieces.
But let you use it as your DESIGN GPS for SHOPPING so you can create adesigner space in your home yourself.
It means you can stop working backwards in designing your home! Because without having a clear vision of your room before you start shopping that’s what happens…
Trying to shop your way into aroom piece-by-piece. Thinking if you choose all your favorite things you will automatically love your room.
Now you can do it like a designer does…
Fabulous spaces start with a great design concept for the overall look.
Then we curate specific pieces to reflect the look and the feel.
Now you can have the concept for your own “Shopping Guide”
See the look of a designer room in your taste & space first to know you love it
Know what kinds and colors of pieces to shop for to reflect the look
See how to arrange and style your space
Have us for design support for any questions
Your Custom Inspiration Room takes the stress, guesswork and mistakes
out of shopping & creating designer spaces

We provide all the shopping links in case an inspiration piece is also a perfect fit for your space. Or just use it as originally planned to inspire your shopping.

4 Steps From Your Existing Space to Your Inspired Space
(Above furniture floorplan and 3-D Room view is another room in this Nook project. It’s included here just to show these design tools. The nooks’ 3-D view easily showed the furniture arrangement so a floorplan wasn’t needed.)

Now, let’s take a behind-the-scenes look at that “Kitchen Nook” Inspiration Room project, so you can see these steps in action.
How this Kitchen Nook got its new look
Kitchen Nook: Design Challenge & Solution
Capturing Potential!
A wonderful San Diego client of mine from past projects got in touch again to tackle some new spaces and update others we’d done previously. Only this time everything was going to be done virtually.
Here’s how we created her Kitchen Nooks’ new look with a Custom Inspiration Room Set…
- DESIGN CONSULTATION VIDEO CALL:
- We reviewed her room photos, why the space wasn’t working for her, looked at a few pieces she liked and went over her style and color preferences, lifestyle & project needs.
- We Set the Goals
-Update the nook to coordinate with the newer dark chocolate cabinetry in the adjoining kitchen
-Create a better arrangement while making it work for 2 people and a big dog.
- INSPIRATION DESIGN CONCEPT SET & PRESENTATION:
Here are all the ideas we presented- UPDATE FURNITURE STYLES
Changed up the traditional style by mixing modern pieces with classics. - FURNITURE TO FIT THE SPACE
We took advantage of the shape of the space with a round table for a better fit and a symmetrical arrangement. - MAKE IT MORE SPACIOUS
Made the space look more spacious with standard height dining pieces. - UPDATE WINDOW TREATMENTS
Woven wood cornices will also help decorate the tall walls.
Added top-down/bottom-up pleated blinds for privacy as needed. - STYLIZED WALL DECORATIONS
Added simplified and more decorative wall decorations.
(Less can be more when it’s the right pieces 🙂 - UPDATE COLOR PALETTE
Lighter, fresher wall color to also make the room feeling light next to the adjoining darker kitchen. Added cognac tones and a few dark pieces to still coordinate with darker kitchen cabinetry.
- UPDATE FURNITURE STYLES
- 3-D ROOM VIEW/FURNITURE FLOORPLAN
The 3-D view also showed the 3-sided nooks furniture arrangement. (In a typical 4-sided room we would also show a top-down furniture plan view.)
Once our client saw the presentation of her customized inspiration vision for her Nook she said
“I loved working with you again and you did a perfect job of marrying items I loved and used all the time yet giving me good ideas and even links to updated products. I found the format easy and loved Mary’s input on the whys.”
It was an easy way for her to see her Nook’s beautiful potential so it was exciting to now have a clear guide to shop with to create it.
