What style would you call this? I love it

9 years ago

When looking for an interior decorator, should I provide photos I have seen that I like? Can you hire by the hour? Thank you (San Diego)

Definitely being photos you like! Many will consult with you for just a few hours, or use the designer to bounce ideas off of.

It's always helpful when you present pictures of things you like and when you have pictures of the things you know you don't like. Designers consult usually by the hour and some of us use a flat rate packages.

i agree with most suggestions above. but dont remove your current rug because u can actually layer a faux fur rug over it. plus your rug has amazing rustic colours and u can use them as accents. maybe over time you may invest in new pillowcases/quilt covers complementing the colours of the rug..peach/mint/cream/ to name a few. may also add some mettalic cushions combo. you can always take them off if you want that summery feel in which switch to sweet pastels. a lot of pillows are important! lol! i'd get rid of the plant. the dressing table n side tables could be black (lacquer may be interesting)with gold knobs (think art deco). dressing table should be move to the side so you get more light and space near the window. maybe mirror can be placed against the window so ull also get natural light when you're admiring your reflection. ur room has an eclectic feel to it.. its great just needs some rearrangments thats all.

What style is this sofa?

It's interesting, but we inherited a sofa and companion chair with the same sweep of the arms, but a lot of intentionally fanned pleats - all done in a deep peach fabric- almost salmon. I was moving into a larger home and needed the pieces, probably 1930s vintage with squatted round wooden feet/legs, each on a caster. I didn't like the color however, so chose to have it reupholstered. That, rather than be forced to work with it. I still love it today. So there's another option, though a little pricey. I agree with Decoenthusiast about the vintage of your sofa. It's not very old, and style is transitional. So it can, just like my delightfully interesting Christmas dinner guest (thanks Lenny), 'go either way' ;)..

I believe that Sigma is available in Ireland. Great paint and coatings. I found this number for PPG/SigmaKalon in Dublin, but do not actually know if this is the same company. 01)2952494

Would you choose this kitchen

Love the colour and style of cabinets. The worktops are beautiful. The flooring is a bit wishy washy and I would prefer a chimney hood style extractor fan - even though this one is the same colour as the kitchen, to me it sticks out like a sore thumb. Personally, I like the 'working triangle' to be at the centre of the kitchen and the fridge freezer looks like an after thought, stuck on at the end, in this design.

Pictures are great. Giving a designer this kind of input can actually help to reduce fees since they know up front what your style is. If you are sharing photos, indicate to the designer what in particular you like about the room. That's important.

As to paying hourly, most residential designers only work by the hour. My firm does. You may also find that you can set hours. In other words, ask for a 4 hour consultation.
