Design Tips from David







Perfect Proportions







LARGE ROOMS  
Resist the urge to keep your furniture against the walls, thus creating a dance floor in the center of the room (unless you have a spare disco ball!)  Try floating your furniture away from the walls.  Think about traffic and how you walk through the room.  Sofas can make great room dividers when placed properly - put a console table, sideboard or small desk behind it to make the look complete.

SMALL ROOMS
Remember these three words:  Simple, Edited and Clear.  Simple - clean lines, opt for seating with legs or at least an open bottom (no skirts!).  Solid fabrics should be dominant, with patterns used as accents.  Edited - go light on the amount of pieces; opt for fewer pieces of furniture that are larger to accommodate your needs.  Clear - think glass; glass topped tables with thin legs, glass front cabinet doors too.  Windows count as glass too - try and keep the window treatments light and airy; layered looks work, but make sure the light comes through.
