Hi friends, I’m happy to share some latest design updates with you. Recently I tackled a living room makeover for a friend/client based in Atlanta. This is an e-design project i.e. all the planning, decorating and designing was done online. Sharing some pictures of the transformation so far. It’s still a work in progress with few finishing touches (draperies, accessories etc.) pending. My client’s primary requirement was to have a space that was homely and welcoming with mini...mal furnishings while incorporating pieces that she already owned like the area rug and beautiful Tanjore Krishna painting. She also wanted the space to be imbued with a spiritual vibe, cultural influences while appealing to her family’s personal tastes. After much deliberation to meet the design goals, I came up with the design plan to create an eclectic space with ethnic touches that will exude a sophisticated vibe. I wanted to create a desi abode that would embody art, religion and culture while reflecting Indian design sensibilities. Now moving on to the design details - Since the brief was to keep the existing rug, I knew it would dictate the look of the room and set the tone for this space, choosing a color palette of Reds, blues and hints of green inspired from the rug helped achieve the right balance in this eclectic space Since we were working on a modest budget, I suggested the DIY accent wall with the Krishna decal and mirror collage in black served as the perfect backdrop for this color infused space. Kudos to my friend for executing it so perfectly. It helped make a statement without compromising on the style while staying within the design budget The beautiful Tanjore painting flanked by the charming Peacock wall accents adorns the Foyer area All the décor and wall art were custom ordered from India. The embossed ethnic paintings, handcrafted peacock fixtures, charming Jharokas with brass statues give the space an ethnic vibe If anyone’s interested in similar pieces for their home, please pm me for further details I apologize for the sporadic blog posts. While I miss writing for my blog as frequently, I am feeling very blessed to have the design work to take its place. So, I will post from time to time, any projects or diys that I tackle but if you’d like a frequent dose of inspiration, follow withheartandverve on Instagram where I will be posting on projects, diy ideas and random design amusings. Next step-stay tuned for more pics from the final makeover. See more
