Design Consultation
Consultations are available for any or all phases of the design
process from concept to completion. We are happy to come into a
home and discuss new ideas and possibilities for rooms, furniture
and finishes or consult on larger projects such as remodels, additions
and new homes. Regardless of the scope, we bring to each consultation
the same amount of interest and creative energy.
Color Palettes
Seemingly such a simple task, choosing
colors can often be daunting. A successful color
palette, whether vibrant or neutral, combines and blends
colors that enhance each other and their space in a luminous and
harmonious way.
Design Details
Attention
to detail is crucial in successfully achieving a total concept
and feeling. This is true whether the space is grand in scale or
small and intimate. For instance, laying granite tiles on the diagonal
rather than straight can change an everyday kitchen counter into
a very interesting one. Basing a color palette on those in a favorite
painting will create a room that truly reflects who you are. Crown
molding, baseboards and trim in the proper scale can give a room
an entirely new feel.
Feng Shui
Feng Shui, the
ancient Chinese art of placement, entails creating harmonious, balanced
spaces in which to live and work. Both general overviews and in-depth
consultations are available.
Lighting Design
All too often an afterthought, lighting is a vital component to
the creation of interior space. Appropriate lighting design thoughtfully
combines task, ambient and natural light to create effective warm
interiors.
Turn Key
Creating a comfortable 2nd home when you live miles away can be
a challenge. Carin Cross Design offers a turn key service where
we create your 2nd home. We spend time with you going over what
work you would like to do, how you want your house to feel and then
we get to work. We can do the entire home from painting to furnishing
to linens or any part of the project. (kitchen,
dining
room, living
room, master
bedroom).
