DwellStudio

Robert Allen and DwellStudio have partnered to create luxurious printed and woven residential fabrics with a bold and innovative color palette. This collaboration brings a distinctive modern aesthetic and  an update to classic graphic designs.  Although highly contemporary I wouldn't hesitate to use them to add punch to a traditional setting also.  These fabrics are wonderful...they feel good to the touch and are natural fibers.... Try them in your next design project.

Trending Red

As most of you know I absolutely love red. It's vibrant, exciting, warm... a show stopper when applied with restraint.  What I appreciate most about this room is the red sofa doesn't overwhelm the space.  It makes a statement that adds to the sophistication of this room. The lighting and tonality also set the mood. They add elegance.  I imagine myself draped across the sofa... It's inviting, pulls one in... and isn't that what you want to feel in any hotel suite?

Conservatories

K nown throughout the world for their illustrious gardens, the English developed the recognizable style of their famous glasshouse during the latter part of the nineteenth century. But, the greenhouse of yesterday has evolved into the conservatory of today.

Thinking about adding a unique space to your home? You can... with minimal construction cost. Why not add a conservatory? They're not just for horticulture any more. They add architectural  elements to an otherwise unimpressive structure. If you're handy try a DIY kit. There are many styles and uses for conservatories just as there are for any room. Conservatories bring in the light. They function as an outdoor room in most cases except the outdoor elements are eliminated. They can also function for a pool covering. Which ever style you choose... I always say... make it fun and make it your own.

Contemporary conservatory

A more traditional style and function

Have a conservatory in the city... add one to a townhouse

The pool pavilion is a great way to extend the pool's use during the winter.

Conservatories with low pitched roofs and a more substantial looking structure, originated as buildings where orange trees were grown.

Conservatories are as much an architectural statement about the importance of design.

Oval Office Makeover

Like many things in the Washington, DC design scene the makeover of the Oval Office doesn't call attention to itself.  It's definitely substance over style. I'm not surprised. This make over recognizes the economic times we're in. It also shows it's cerebral side. I think this room is highly personal for the president. He spends lots of time here... It needs to have a calming effect. Color is tonal.  Furniture and accessories are well chosen... they have significance to the president. I especially like the reupholstered brown leather chairs and the soft texture of the twin sofas. Absolutely love the contemporary coffee table. This Oval Office feels more comfortable and casual than previous but it's also thoughtful and serious. I hope it meets all the needs of the president.
