…change up your artwork! You could add some new pieces or you could reposition your existing artwork.  Take the piece from your living room and move it to your bedroom, or make a grouping of work from pieces that currently stand alone.  Another quick update that would help bring new life to your artwork and your room would be to have your existing art reframed.

Were you bored with your room, but you made a small change that made a big difference? We want to see! Send us a picture here.

“Hello Designers! I’ve purchased my first home and when I bought it my friends and I saw SO much potential in it.  Problem is, we’re not really sure how to tap into my home’s potential so… I need your help.  Here’s some pictures of my den.  I don’t even know where to begin… What do you suggest I should do with the space that won’t cost a fortune?”

This week’s Design Direction post is a before and after.  Being able to see people achieve the look they want in their home after a little help from us is incredibly rewarding.  We were sent some living room pictures back in January.  This homeowner was looking for ways to make his space more cohesive. After getting some advice from Vastu interior designer, Jamie, the homeowner made a few updates and the place looks great!  Before we reveal the after photos, here’s a look at the living area prior to submitting the design dilemma…

“Hi. I live in a small one bedroom condo (600 sq ft) in Arlington. The building is very new, but the living room is small. I have a round glass table table and two custom chairs in the dining area, an Italian leather sofa and a very modern leather chair. I bought a media unit for the TV and to use as storage for books, files, etc., however I find the unit to be too big for the space. The sofa now seems too dark for the room and there is a bit too much leather. Any ideas? Many thanks!”

“I have a quick question.  What are the rules about sofa seat height and coffee table height?  I recently bought a table and then returned it because it looked too high in front of my sofa.  I figured I’d get a professional opinion before making another purchase.”
