Before and After

Use design visualization for your project

This Seattle interior designer is fortunate to be featured in an article by HomeSavvi, “Visualize design BEFORE you spend”. What’s excellent about the article is the demonstration using ‘before and after’ images for a real client seeking to update an outdoor space.

In all my projects, my team includes  3D For All, a Seattle based company launched by Mary Curley.  Learn about Mary here.

Working together with Mary and the clients, I was able to use images from Gloster Furniture to accurately ‘imagine‘ the outcome of the design concept I proposed.

As I begin work with clients, I offer a design fee of tiered services and two of the three tiers include design visualization. My clients gain confidence about their project and the outcome they desire when the design comes to life in advance of construction.

Imagine seeing your new room before you spend a penny. Remove the stress of design decisions in advance and avoid costly mistakes. Contact Faith Sheridan Design Group for your indoor or outdoor project and experience confidence in the outcome.

In my Seattle design practice I advise that rugs in outdoor spaces achieve the very same outcome as they do indoors. They define an area for seating, add color and pattern, and offer texture and pizazz too. Today’s outdoor rugs are eye-catching, long lasting and  quite affordable.  Some are indoor options too. Word to the wise – Putting them in a covered area will extend their life.

5 Tips for outdoor rug selection –

1. Place them in a covered area, and clean them (vacuum and hose).
2. To clean:  hang it up, hose it off, and let it dry completely before putting it back.
3. The  label should say 100% polypropylene and even better UV stabilized, plus mold, mildew and weather resistant.
4. Choose a machine-made rugs. They are lighter, dry faster and better suited for exposed areas.
5. Size instructions: In a seating area, all front legs of furniture should be on the rug. In a dining area, all legs should be on the rug even when chairs are scooted out.

Our team is here to help you design your indoor or outdoor space using area rugs. Call us 206.973.3743 or send a consultation request.

Last week this expert Seattle interior designer shared some first look photos from the makeover I did for a mother and daughter last Thursday. KOMO News in Seattle covered this surprise and I have additional images of before and after and a video too.  Please enjoy them in this time of holiday giving.

KOMO video of makeover 

“For the first time, a Seattle mother and daughter say they have a home. They are domestic violence survivors who recently moved into an apartment, but had no way to decorate it, and barely had any furniture. KOMO4′s Michelle Esteban was in on a surprise Home Makeover.”

Enjoy your holidays and share the spirit of giving to others. My sincere wishes for a joyous season.

In our Sunday Seattle Times I enjoyed a story about the restoration of a home by Paul Gregutt and his wife. While I am an expert Seattle interior designer, Gregutt is a highly regarded wine writer. Appropriately, they found a 1,000-square-foot, rundown cottage in Eastern Washington in the community of Waitsburg, where the grapes are grown and many of the wineries are located.
