It has soft rounded corners so you don’t have to worry about guests bumping into it! Its also only 18” deep and 72” long that is should fit in most dining rooms.

When I found the vases I was like, wait, What?! These were meant to go in a room with this rug! Then I paired my new favorite Sherwin Williams paint color for the room color - - Alpaca 7022, a bright creamy greige.

Add a handful of extra décor items that are meaningful to you or go on over to my newly refreshed curated shopping pages by clicking here. Let me back up one second and discuss how to really love the room design you create. Simply, don’t rush. I can shop for an entire room of stuff that will all work really well together, but it could feel a little empty without YOUR personal touch. The above design is considered “the bones” and then adding in items from your travels or shopping will make the room really spectacular.

For example, in my personal home, I have decorative objects, art and signs from the cruises I went on. In my living room, I have a hand-carved wiener dog from Jamaica, a stylized Palm Tree from Haiti, and a carved sign, also from Haiti. My husband and I gathered them while we were shopping and enjoying our honeymoon so they are very special to us. I also go to my local treasure shop where they have talented artists, people who redo/flip furniture, and handcraft décor. Shout Out to Do-Over Décor which happens to be on the way to our favorite beach! My husband and I also frequent different consignment stores around town which allows us to curate the look of our home to be perfect for US.

How to Select the Correct Area Rug Size - Living Rooms & Bedrooms

How do you know what size rug to purchase? Well, from my perspective as a seasoned interior designers, it is second nature, but I’ve seen people struggle and pick the weirdest sized rugs so I think it’s time for this post! But DUDE, a rug can seriously tie a room together ;)

Rugs can come in all different sizes and even shapes, but I always stick with the standards.
5’x8’ - Rarely used in my world of design. Occasionally in a foyer or outdoor entry instead of a runner or welcome mat.
6’x9’ - I don’t typically use this size in my projects, but commonly available.
8’x10’ - Commonly used in apartments and small scaled bedrooms / smallish living rooms.
9’x12’ - Commonly used in Medium Sized living room spaces and King-Sized Bedrooms
10’ x 14’ - I don’t typically use this size in my projects, but commonly available.
12’ x 15’ - Commonly used in South Florida and Texas LOL in GREAT ROOMS.

Don’t fret, if you are needing an unexpected size, you can check with other rug vendors for and find things like 10’ x 13-2” // 9’-9” x 13’-9” // 8’-6” x 11’-6”

Living Room layout options with corresponding area rug sizes

General rule of thumb - when in doubt, SIZE UP. Never have a rug just under a coffee table - make sure AT LEAST the legs of the sofa are all on the area rug. I’ve gone into rooms where the area rug was so small, it felt like a placemat for the (also too small) coffee table.

A quick rule about chaise end sectionals: The rug ABSOLUTELY MUST cover the entire chaise end. My living room rug was delayed so I used the 8’x10’ I had until my 9’x12’ arrived - it looked so stupid I had to point it out to everyone! I did not want anyone to think, well I saw it in a designer’s house, this must be the way.

General Rules I have when it comes to space planning and rugs in BEDROOMS.

Queen and King Sized Bedroom Layout Options with Rug Sizes
  • Do not go so small the whole rug is covered by the bed.

  • It is OK now to add in an accent rug over wall to wall carpet. For this, I would suggest a light woven / light weight rug.

  • Do not go so large the rug has to go under the nightstands.

  • Do not go so large the rug has to go under the dresser. Note, if the dresser has tall, mid-century modern legs and the room is kinda small, go for it!

  • Do not go so large it feels like wall to wall carpet.

  • Leave around 8”-12” of clearance from the edge of the rug to the edge of furniture, and around 18-24” from the edge of the rug to the walls. (this advice can depend on the room size.

One quick mention about area rugs in dining rooms: Make sure you have about 2’ from the table edge to the rug edge so the chairs can be completely on the rug when IN USE. I’m not a huge fan of rugs in dining rooms, despite having one in my own house! LOL Just be cautious of color choice, material choice (ex. no wool), and know you will have to spot clean it regularly - - even if you don’t have little ones at the table. But hey, if your dining room is a formal setting that gets used on special holidays, go ahead and splurge a little.

You can also source rugs from places like rugs direct, rug studio, rugs usa, or Wayfair, but pay attention to the brands and reviews. I love to select from Jaipur Living, Loloi, and Surya.

That’s it guys! Now go out and buy a bigger rug - lol .. Want extra help sourcing the perfect area rug? Send me an email or fill out a form to start working together!

home office refresh - A Shoppable Design

This home office with click-thru shoppable links is designed for the collaborator! A huge table desk is perfect for laying out everything and then a conference table for a small home office team, husband and wife team, or a place for a touchdown meeting with a client or vendor. I love a deep accent wall or room, lets bring color back into our washed-out lives of white on white!

Pull the entire look off by purchasing the following items directly from the website / vendor. As always, most of these links are affiliated, but I don’t let that effect the overall design. Love this, but want to make it your own? Buy some of the items, or reach out for an e-design project by sending me an email or hop over to the e-design page and purchase.

Table (Desk) Conferencing / Work Table Artwork - Purchase as collection or separately
Desk Chair Area Rug LIVE plant in planter - shipped to home
Table Lamp Table Décor: Vase
Conference Chairs - discontinued Table Décor: Dried Eucalyptus

I personally love a modern minimalist look with geometric patterns and organic shapes which allows the room to be flexible in the overall feel. Connect this look to the rest of your home by adding in black metals, crisp whites, cognac leathers, and natural wood tones. I see this home office working in homes with a Modern Coastal Vibe all the way to the new Modern Farmhouse look. If you took your home too far in the Joanna Gains farmhouse style that exploded, go ahead and take down those oversized clocks, anything rooster, and those oversized forks! To refresh your look, keep the bones of your furniture and refresh the décor or a table. Look for organically shaped objects and art with lots of natural texture and you will instantly refresh your look!

6 Ergonomic Essentials for a Happier Day at the Office

Hey Guys,

I’m back, but this time with a lengthy shopping post on my favorite ergonomic essentials for a happier and healthier day at the office with product options. I want to start this off with a disclaimer that I am not a medical professional so if you are seeking medical advise, you should see your doctor.

So for those of you never read my bio page I was a design manager for a commercial furniture dealership in my past life specializing in corporate open offices and private office interiors. Providing ergonomic solutions for various tasks, body types, and working styles was one of my favorite parts of office design. We used to joke that sitting where is the new smoking and certainly created a ton of sit to stand workstations to address that.

I sit in my desk chair for the majority of my day for extended parts of my day and like to sit cross legged in my chair – TERRIBLE, I know, but it just happens. Anyway, if you suffer from the same posture issues without the benefits of ergonomics, you will suffer from lower back pain, neck pain, and maybe even Carpal Tunnel.

The top essentials I recommend for your office at work or at home are the same:

1.     An Ergonomic Task Chair, FULLY LOADED with adjustments perfect for your body.

2.     A Keyboard Tray with Attached Mouse

3.     A Fully Adjustable Monitor Arm

4.     A Sit-to-Stand Worksurface OR Sit-to-Stand Converter Station

5.     An LED Task Light

6.     A Health Tracker

Let’s dive right in to the first essential: An Ergonomic Task Chair, FULLY LOADED.
What does fully loaded mean? Well, almost every manufacturer of chairs creates a stripped down version of the chair which is obviously more affordable, but isn’t what you should purchase. An ergonomic chair is an investment in your health – just like your mattress is because of the time spent and pressure on the spine. Fully loaded features include a seat slider, fully adjustable arms, and can also include features like lumbar support, adjustable back height, and a tilt limiter.

seat adjustments

A seat slider means you can adjust the forward placement of the seat. Adjust the seat so the front of the seat barely hits the backside of your knee so it bends freely. It can also be adjusted to cradle the tush just so.

Fully Adjustable Arms are important because it allows the user to determine the width, height, and sometimes the angle of the arm pad. The width is important if you are purchasing the chair for a variety of people and sizes. You shouldn’t actually rest your elbows on arm rests while doing typical office work, but that being said, I still feel like I NEED them! Lol

Lumbar Support is important for lower back pain or to prevent lower back pain. It also encourages the user to sit up with correct posture. (depending on the chair, this might be integrated into the chair design)

Adjustable Back Height is especially important for the big and tall user because it allows the chair back to cradle you. Also a great feature if you are purchasing general ergonomic solutions for an entire office.

Tilt Limiter is my FAVORITE feature, mostly available from Herman Miller task chairs. It allows the user to set the tilt angle of the chair to STOP so you only lean back a specific amount. I like it so much more than just cranking up the tension on the chair.

OKAY, now that you have all the vocab words on chairs, I’m going to tell you a bit about my top 3 favorite chairs! The Mirra 2 Task Chair, The Sayl Task Chair, and The Diffrient World Mesh Swivel Desk Chair.

The Mirra 2 Task Chair is my all-time favorite chair because it has a mesh seat and molded polymer back with lazer caved holes providing support and breathability. The chair really moves with you and the mesh seat is great for sitting comfortably for longer periods of time. It comes with a tilt limiter so you can talk on the phone / chat with a co-worker in a relaxed position. (Some chairs offer a back-lock, but only locks the chair in an upright fixed position - - THAT was not for me. I also have really broad shoulders so the wide back cradles me perfectly). If you aren’t as broad as I am, then you may want to check out the Sayl Task Chair.

The Sayl Task Chair features a Y-shaped back support structure which provides full support like a spine and flexibility for bending and stretching. This chair is a bit less expensive with a cloth seat and typical seat cushion. The seat cushion is comfortable, but not too comfortable you forget to get up and move around throughout the day. Also features a 4-position tilt limiter so you can control which specific positions work best for you.

The Diffrient World Mesh Swivel Desk Chair instantly became one of my favorite ergonomic chairs with its sleek design and features designed INTO the chair instead of upgrades. The arms are attached to back, so as you lean back in the chair, the angle of the arms change with the body. Lumbar support is integrated into the chair design with a perfect curve that supports and cradles the back. Sit in this chair for extended periods and you won’t be disappointed!

A Keyboard Tray is the next essential on the check list. You want to work so you wrists are relaxed, your hands are at an inverted angle tapping on your keyboard, and the height should be lower than your worksurface height. What is an inverted angle you ask?? Well, you know those little kick stand feet keyboards came with? That creates a positive tilt and is ALL WRONG. You want those fingers to be below your wrist. It also frees up that crucial desk space when you want to write in a notebook or on an ipad.

A Fully Adjustable Monitor Arm is the best thing you can purchase for yourself. If you have a limited budget for ergonomic improvements, this is where I would start. You want to make sure your neck is straight while working and your eyes hit the monitor just over the halfway point. If you are constantly looking down at your screen you will develop “Tech Neck” which is a newish term for the curvature of the top of your spine as a result from looking down at devices. Purchase your monitor arm by clicking here and changing the specs for your monitor situation.

A Sit-to-Stand Desk is great for your health and posture! Imagine being able to stand while you work. It isn’t for everyone, but it is nice to have an option. If you are overweight or can’t leave your desk for most of the day, then I highly recommend investing in one. My favorite Sit-to-Stand table is the Float table by Humanscale because it is super easy to adjust and doesn’t require to be plugged in. You can also purchase my favorite converter if you don’t want the entire surface to move up and down, you can just have your computer setup adjust up and down. What I don’t LOVE about it is the lack of space around the work surface. That being said, it is a MUCH more affordable solution!

The last two I can write in one short paragraph since they are more obvious essentials. Lighting makes a world of difference and not only helps eye strain, but makes it so you don’t have to lean in to see the details. Adjustable LED task lights are the best since LED last forever and sometimes you can even choose if you want a warm or cool light temperature. Lastly, a health tracker is a great idea to remind you to move around and walk so you aren’t stuck with zero movement. I currently have a Fitbit Versa Lite in Marine Blue (you know, MY color) and love the encouragement it gives me to get a minimum of 250 steps per hour so I’m not just stationary all day churning out work.

Take a look at my essentials listed below and reach out if you have any questions or are in need of an ergonomic solution for your home or corporate office. If you are an employee at an office, you may be surprised they would spend $1000 on your health. Some businesses require a doctor’s recommendation, but a lot of companies are proud and happy to offer ergonomic solutions for happier and healthier employees. There should also be government funding you/they can get through grants to provide ergonomic improvements.

California Casual Bedroom 1

Hey Guys!


Me again…. So I know it has been AGES since my last post, so I guess I should take a brief minute to play catch-up! … I relocated from Charlotte, NC to Port Saint Lucie FLORIDA with my 2 crazy cats and happy wiener dog. There’s more to my story, but that’s all I am going to share in this post! SO since I am loving this sun and palm tree weather, I am leaning in more toward my favorite design style - - California Casual Design!!

I have always been super into Modern Boho Interiors with a strong mid-century influence and masculine lines. While I will still be working on those projects, I am also feeling the pull of soft tones and beachy textures and would love to embrace the new casual lifestyle.

SO all that being out of the way, LET’S GO SHOPPING!!!

 
Bedroom Design California Casual vibe room setup.jpg
 
 

For this one, I mixed a high Modern look of the Figure Drawing Artwork and A-lined Chair with a transitional spindle bed and muted area rug. Keeping it casual and not matchy-matchy, I decided to mix and match side tables with varying wood tones. Personally, I love mixing a rectangular nightstand with a round table, but also think this look is best in a guest bedroom. Something about the vibe just works. I’m a sucker for solid bedding. This duvet and sham set is a stonewashed linen which gives it a vintage feel and luxurious European Flax hand. Popping in distressed hand dyed pillows with a ticking stripe pattern and Cactus Silk patterned lumbar pillow act as the focal point. Finishing off this pretend room design, I added in transitional decor with a wild flower bouquet, a neutral Hydrangea Stem, and a faux olive tree placed in a wicker planter basket.

My Designer Tip of this post: Don’t Forget to DECORATE!

Even the prettiest rooms can wind up feeling flat. Why? Well, my simple answer is, if you don’t have the following things in your room texture / pattern / greenery / meaningful decor your room feels flat. Do you need real greenery? No. Do you need to spend a ton of money on blankets, pillows. decor, and art? No. Pick pieces that are meaningful to you. Go to Home Goods and find something inexpensive and mix it in with more expensive item - - No one will notice. Go to Walmart and find a Gem to display - - No one will notice. Go to Target and shop shop shop - - No one will care WHERE the items came from or ask how much you paid for something.

Modern Boho Pendant Lights

Hey Guys,

Let’s go shopping!!

So you must already know by now, I LOVE to shop! Most people go shopping with their friends and chat about life as they cruise around whatever store, but me, I critique the products! LOL Shopping for other people has always been so much fun for me - Add that to the list of reasons I became an Interior Designer.

Today, I shopped for some modern boho pendant lights in medium to large sizes, perfect over a kitchen table, over a bed, in a nursery, or even hung in a cluster. Some of these options are casual and simply need a light kit to plug-in and go while others are hardwired and need to be installed by an electrician.

Friday Favorite Finds - Modern Geometric Living Room

Hey Guys,

It’s time for another Favorite Friday Finds Post! If this is your first Favorite Finds Friday Post, you will see they have evolved a bit from when I first started showing off my favorite finds. I used to post just random items I loved and found that week, BUT now I am sending them off in little design vignettes so you can visualize them better. In this living room design example, I fell in LOVE with this modern boho area rug and paired it with some of my favorite geometric accessories.

Mountain Bedroom Design

I was inspired to complete this Shoppable Mountain Bedroom Design for a neutral master bedroom or guest bedroom idea. This bedroom features a channeled headboard, plug-in wall sconces, white bedding, and a tufted bench at the foot of the bed. Read on to find why I made the suggestions, and scroll to the bottom to shop this design.

Mountain Bedroom Design for a neutral master bedroom or guest bedroom idea. Shoppable design featuring channeled headboard, plug-in wall sconces, white bedding, and a tufted bench at the foot of the bed

SO I am obsessed with wall sconces over a nightstand! They really open your room up and make the nightstand have more usable space as well as allowing for strategic decor placement. The wall sconces I’m suggesting to you guys is a sexy and sleek plug-in wall sconce from CB2! A plug-in wall sconce is perfect for all you existing home owners! Skip the electrician fees and install these bad boys yourself! All you need is a drill / screw driver, tape measure / level, and a pencil. I recommend dividing your nightstand into thirds and mount the wall sconce to the outside third of the nightstand. Now, when it comes to the height, it really depends on the specific wall sconce and the height of your headboard. Shoot me a message if you have a specific question on where you should hang yours!

Since we have all this amazing room on the nightstands without lamps, we can really ADD STYLE to them! I usually love night chests over smaller nightstands to allow for more room, but since chests are normally a lot more expensive than more standard nightstands, a wall sconce makes them work! The beautiful nightstands featured in this design are only 20” wide so are perfect for a small bedroom space.

On one side, I have a marble standing picture frame with a clock in front of it and a ceramic vase with a faux eucalyptus bunch. On the other side, a framed picture of eucalyptus with a couple books stacked in front of it. On top of the books, a candle, a small storage container, and then a bold decorative object.

 

Designer Tip: If your bedroom is feeling flat, you need to add more layers with decor, textures, pattern, and artwork.

 

I’m obsessed with white bedding! Why White Bedding? Well, for a few reasons. First, white bedding is easy to clean because all you need is some bleach. Second, hotels always have crisp white bedding, so our minds think white bedding is elegant and high style. Third, white goes with everything! We can swap out pillows and accents whenever we want without having to change the bedding. Lastly, a dark bed cover can feel like a black hole in a small room, whereas white bedding will make your bedroom look larger. SO if you have kids and think their dirty feet will ruin your bedding, see point one.

To complete this bedroom design, I added a large framed print above the velvet channeled headboard, pillows, throw blanket, tufted bench, and area rug. Hang the art above the bed 6-8” for a standard 8’ ceiling.
