Our recent blog series has been focused on illustrating the design process from start to finish. This month, we're showing how Rich chooses the style and fabric of the custom furniture for the floor plan we showed you earlier. (Click here to see the original floor plan)
Now that we’re getting into the specifics of the design, we are creating completely unique pieces; being built specifically for the client’s home and needs. These furniture pieces designed by Rich cannot be bought in any store or showroom.

The original look of the furniture that the client had was somewhat more traditional. However, they wanted to move toward a cleaner, more contemporary look, so we have selected furniture that has a little more tailored line to it.

For the chairs, we’re matching the style of the sofa, but changing the fabric to create more interest for our design.
It’s important that the relationship of the fabrics work well together in terms of color and texture.
Cognac, is the color choice, and was selected to bring out the warmer values that are in our sofa fabric.

Our final fabric is an accent fabric, which we’ll be using for pillows.
Lastly, all of our upholstered pieces are going to set in the room on top of our beautiful wool rug that will have a 2.5” leather binding around it.
The whole color palate is qualified as warm neutrals and this is the basis for all of our upholstered goods for the room. In our next post we’ll be looking at our case goods – the wood pieces of this project.
As always, your comments and observations are welcomed and appreciated!
