Making a First Impression
Making a First Impression: Your Reception Area
Your clients often form a first impression of your business before they ever shake your hand. Your reception area says a lot about the quality and care your clients can expect from you.
Think about the image you want to portray and choose your furnishings and lighting accordingly. For instance, a tech company should steer clear of traditional furniture and opt for a more exciting, streamlined look. A law firm will probably want its reception area to appear formal and dignified.
In a waiting area, one of the most common mistakes is to line seats only around the perimeter of a room, or worse, in rows. This arrangement will make visitors feel restless and impatient as they wait. Instead, place furniture as you would in a living area, giving people the option of sitting alone, in pairs, or in groups. This way, they can choose to quietly read, talk to others, or simply observe their surroundings.
Coffee and side tables should further reflect the personality of the business, while giving you a place to put reading and promotional materials. Don’t forget to add plenty of lightening. Well-lit areas are more welcoming. Artwork is a must. However, only add pieces you would hang in a well-appointed home. Too often, waiting and reception room art looks like rummage sale leftovers.
No matter what style you choose, the furniture and accessories should appear upscale in style and material. Your clients want to know that you value them enough to give them a nice place to wait.

Patterns in Interior Design
Trending now - Pattern in Interior Design
the Rediscovery of Patterns
Throughout the world the look of bare walls and clean surfaces had been accepted as the cutting edge of interior design. In recent years however, designers have rediscovered the practicality of pattern and texture.
Curtains Ad a Sense of Dramatic Flair
Curtains are another way of adding pattern and introducing more colour into a room. Strong bold curtains can help create two different looks. Either as a colour highlight in the room during the day when they are open, or a more dominant almost feature wall effect when drawn at night. For maximum effect use full length curtains to the floor, as stopping just below the sill makes the room look cut off and shortens the ceiling height.
The use of various curtain headers will create different looks and affect the amount of fabric required. Curtain tracks can be made to look invisible if made or painted in the wall colour or, by using chunky metal rods they can stand out and be part of the design. Options today are as wide as the mind can create, colours or materials for hardware, contemporary/traditional/transitional styles, etc.

Throughout the world the look of bare walls and clean surfaces had been accepted as the cutting edge of interior design. In recent years however, designers have rediscovered the practicality of pattern and texture.
Wallpaper is Back
For many years, painted walls and ceilings have been the mainstay of interior design. The introduction of bold colours and feature walls was the first sign that people wanted more interest in their homes. The progression of this change has been the increased use of wall paper to add drama and impact. Big bold patterns of high contrasting colour or subtle use of tone on tone to create texture. Wallpapering only one wall is a also an option. A bold pattern behind the bed makes a great statement without taking over the whole room.
Book a consultation today and find out how the current interior design trends can be used successfully in your home.

Save Money - Hire An Interior Designer
Save Your Money – Hire An Interior Designer!
Interior designers are only hired by the rich and famous. Wrong! This myth is definitely not true. Interior designers can work on a wide variety of projects and within the parameters of any budget. Their focus is to give you exactly what you want, when you want it and how you want it.
Saving you money starts by minimizing mistakes, spending money wisely, creating a 'designer look' for a handyman budget and offering expert advice. Examples may include: suggesting a paint colour that compliments the space, selecting the correct scale of furniture, designing floor plans to maximize the room's potential (especially important in a commercial space or tiny condo), by using exisiting furniture/art/accessories and by referring professional trades or contractors.
E.L.P. Designs and Space Planning design services are not just for the rich…they are for anyone who appreciates value, amazing design creativity or for those who understand the benefits of professional expertise in any respective field i.e.:plumber, real estate agent, lawyer, dentist….We are experts in the design field - why not give us a try?
To save MONEY RIGHT NOW…
READ ON!
E.L.P. Designs and Space Planning works with closely with a huge variety of suppliers, showrooms and wholesalers that cater strictly to the design trade. In many circumstances, they offer a wide selection of items that the general public would typically not ever see in a typical retail store.
In addition, our clients quite often save money by purchasing these tems through us, compared to spending their valuable time sourcing and purchasing on their own and by getting exactly what works best for their space.
In that regard, over the past few weeks, several suppliers are promotinge amazing deals with notices about 'Specials’, ‘Clearance items’, ‘Sample Sale’ or ‘Clearout’ of products that may be as little as six months old in order to make room for new products. If you want to save money while getting exactly what you want for your home, office or commercial project, then give us a call today!
