Vastu and Chesapeake Home + Living
Just a heads up to all you Design Clique readers to keep a look out for the next issue of Chesapeake Home + Living magazine for a feature story on the Corcoran Street Rowhouse designed by our very own Eric Kole.
The article Hollywood Glamour, by Scott Sowers, showcases the Victorian-era townhouse in Logan Circle that Eric updated with Vastu’s collection of “warm modern” pieces to match how “the couple wanted to combine the home’s old world charm with the modern lifestyle of its new owners”.
It’s a great article and the photos by Timothy Bell are gorgeous!

We’re definitely excited to be a part of this and can’t wait to share more details with you, so stay tuned to the blog in the coming weeks and, as always, thank you for being supporters of Vastu!
Tailored Sofas Done the Vastu Way
Apartment Therapy recently had a post about how tailored sofas can bring a look of elegance and sophistication to your room. They made a good point that “tailored” doesn’t come with a certain color or pattern, but just has to come with a clean-lined, “unfussy” look.
That got me to thinking, “Wait, Vastu’s been doing the tailored sofa for years!”
Here are some great examples of our tailored sofas in beautifully designed spaces.

Designer redo
Two of our valued customers (and great friends of the store) recently called in designer Eric Kole to refresh their living room. Here’s a look at Eric’s design before the redo…
Downtown Dwelling
Vastu co-owner and interior designer, Eric Kole, assisted his client in creating a warm, comfortable, modern place to call home in downtown DC – and he wasn’t afraid to use a little color! The floor-to-ceiling windows really made the bold color choices pop, making the rooms vibrant and inviting.
Eric says…
“What’s hot?”
