Foyer Transformation with wallpaper- Bergen County NJ interior designer

This foyer refresh was such a fun project!! We changed the flooring and light fixture, added wood paneling and wallpaper and added new furniture to make this foyer shine. It makes such a bold first impression now when you walk in the front door and see this gorgeous blue grasscloth. I am a big fan of this flushmount fixture for its shape and we went with a matte black finish to pair with the doorknobs and the light fixture in the adjoining dining room that you can see in the reflection of the mirror.

The floor tile is classic and the larger size is a nice upgrade to the original 12x12 tiles that used to be in the space.

Here is what the space looked like when we started:

The foyer is seen from a few different angles and there is no bad view of this space now! You can’t go wrong with a classic wood console table in a foyer and this one is so pretty in person. We paired it with a large round mirror and simple styling.

It looks like a completely different room now!

Basement Bathroom - Wyckoff NJ interior designer

I have been working on a basement renovation for a few months and the first room to be completed is this fabulous bathroom. For a basement, the space actually gets a lot of natural light due to a well placed window. I’m so excited about how everything came together from the tile to the vanity and Taj Mahal countertops. Let’s start with the shower and the vertically stacked blue tile.

The vanity is a pretty taupe and in this shot you can see a little bit of the floor tile.

This is a newly constructed bathroom but this before photo is when we were just having the space framed out.

It’s a large space and I love how the tile is such a wow feature when you enter the room.

The combination of all of the tile is so fun!!

Stay tuned for the rest of the basement soon!

Nursery Transformation- Baby Boy nursery with blue dresser

I am happy to share this recent nursery transformation for a sweet baby boy. The color palette is so soothing with a mix of neutrals and a pop of blue with the dresser.

The dresser is probably my favorite part and I love how the wooden mirror complements the crib.

Here is where we started with this room which used to serve as a guest bedroom/ office.

The rug is so cozy with a subtle design and drapes have a fun pattern- I love how they are reflected in the mirror.

What kind of Window Treatments should I use? The Ultimate Window Treatment Guide

What should I put on my windows? Do I need anything on these windows? I need privacy but also don’t want it to be too dark in this room, what should I do? The topic of window treatments comes up a lot for me with clients during consultations as well as when I am working with clients on a renovation project. I’m going to go over some of the more common types of window treatments along with photo examples from some client projects.

Let’s start with Roman Shades - whether you do a pattern or a solid fabric, the shades are functional and beautiful. In the below example, my client wanted the ability to raise and lower the shades and have a liner for blackout purposes. We did raise them all the way on photo shoot day to allow as much natural light as possible to come in on a cloudy day.

Drapes are ideal when you don’t need to open and close them regularly. It’s also a great option when you have space on either side of the window trim to let the drapes extend past the windows. How fun is the ruffle detail on the drapes in my example below?! This was for a tween bedroom transformation.

Woven Woods are one of my favorite window treatments - as you can see in my three example photos from client projects, they come in a variety of different colors/textures and they are easy to raise and lower.

What is your favorite window treatment?
