“Hello designers… Please settle something for me. My husband and I are putting the final touches on our new home, including hanging some new art we’ve acquired. We can’t seem to agree on the height. My husband insists on hanging it what I consider it to be too high and (of course) he thinks my suggestions make the art look too low. Are there guidelines for art hanging? I know you have art on display in your showroom all the time so I thought you’d have some suggestions. Thanks!”

“Hello! So… I just bought a one bedroom condo and I’m super excited about it. I’m pretty confident about what I want to do in all the rooms except for the formal dining room. The room is pretty large, long and narrow with a chandelier mounted in the center of the room. With only one bedroom, I’d actually like the formal dining room to serve as a place to eat AND my home office. Any ideas on the type of furniture I should look for that will make the room look cohesive, but still serve two purposes? Thanks!”

We stumbled across the Jason Hill Design Etsy shop and just had to stop when we saw these screen prints of two Knoll mid-century modern classics – the Tulip chair and the Bertoia diamond chair. Great size, great colors, great gift!
