Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles Magazine

We strive to create a home that is special to each client by thinking through all of the design details, including those in the forgotten spaces such as hallways and landings.

These type of pass-through rooms can sometimes take a backseat to the main living areas, but they are the perfect spot to add a personal touch.

Here are a few design tips to turn your hallways and landing into warm and inviting spaces.

1. Create a focal point

In this new home we designed, we transformed what could have been a cold, boring upstairs’ landing into a beautiful extension of the main living areas.

We also added a unique focal point to catch your eye before you walk down the stairs.

2. Soften the space through rugs, fabrics, and furnishings

A great way to pull together a hallway is through layering the space. Here’s a great example from 2018 our Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ Southeastern Showhouse space.

3. Add a personal touch though art or family photos

My clients will tell you that I love using a hallway to create a personal photo gallery. I asked this client for some black and white photos that were special to their family, and we took it from there….

So the next time you are walking through one of your hallways and it seems a little bare, incorporate these design tips. Be sure to let me know how it transforms.

As always, if we can help you turn your house into a home you love, give us a call at 205-938-4848 or email us here.

Have a great day,

Dana

It’s hard to believe summer is in full force AND 2018 is half way over.

And while my blogging has taken a nosedive the past three months (so sorry!!), it’s been for good reason. We’ve had lots of EXCITING things going on and I thought it would be fun to share a few highlights.

We installed the last two rooms of a home recently built. It’s hard to believe this is a new home as the interiors are beautiful and classic and timeless. I can’t share too much, but warm weather is here and it’s time open up that pass-through window to the pool…..

We’ve also been on the road quite a bit….

Projects in and outside of Alabama have put some miles on our cars. Lots of wood shavings and dust are flying around with renovations and new builds, and some are being updated with new furnishings and decoration…

My one-time 3.5 hour consults are going strong as it is a great way to have a plan for your home that you can implement as your time and money allow.

For the second year in a row, we were nominated for the 2018 ADAC and Veranda Southeast Designer of the Year awards. It’s a huge honor and we were thrilled to be recognized for two years straight.

Robert Brown Interior Design of Atlanta, GA, walked away as the winner of the award. If you aren’t familiar with his work, look him up. He’s a super nice guy and his work is beautiful.

As mentioned here, we designed a lounge and bath in the Southeastern Showhouse in Atlanta, GA. The Showhouse did not disappoint so be on the lookout for pictures this fall in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles.

I just came back from visiting my daughter in Charleston and then drove to Asheville with my husband for a few days. We slept too much, ate too much, and might have had a drink or two every night. I think God meant for life to be just like this- slow, easy and stress free.
