Decadent Pillows For Indoor Or Out…

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

 

The Leonardo Pillow by Perennials is epic in size (23″ x 23″ only) and beauty.  This elegant pillow is certainly not your average “throw,” as it commands the attention that your interior deserves.  It’s quality is second to none, constructed from Perennials trademarked 100% solution-dyed acrylic technology and the artistry of HOLLAND & SHERRY.  This is a pillow that will take your (or your children’s) worst and still look great, as it is stain resistant.  Contact Colby Design if you are interested in these, or any other Perennials products.

Beautiful Paper For The Wall…

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

 

Wallpaper can add so much drama to a house, which is what interior designers strive to do.  It is a fantastic way to add a touch of whimsy or class to a space.  It can be less expensive than having a mural painted on an accent wall, and have just as dramatic of an effect.  With so many great papers to choose from, you are sure to find something that strikes a chord with you, and there are some amazing resources, such as Stockton Hicks Laffey here in Austin, that carry amazing lines ( “To The Trade”).

Ottomans are a great way to add some fun and additional seating to your living spaces.  They come in all shapes and sizes and can even be used in lieu of a coffee table.  They can be tucked under consoles when they are not in use or simply used to “anchor” a piece of furniture.  Check out some of our great finds below.

  • Closets are custom designed around your needs & preferences

  • Closet components contain finest furniture materials that wipe clean with a cloth.
  • Optional felt-lined jewelry tray organizes small accessories & is available with a lock.
  • Installation system leaves floor space open for vacuuming.
  • Many styles of handles to choose from

Modular Floorcoverings…

Monday, March 14th, 2011

 

Flor is a modular carpet flooring company.  In other words, you can purchase carpet tiles to be arranged in any pattern or color and arrange them however you want.  They have some newly inspired rugs, as well (see the orange cow rug below).  The great thing about modular carpet tiles is that if damage occurs, you can just replace the damaged piece, a great innovation in interior design.  They are commercial grade and are easily cleaned, and would look great in Austin’s lofts.

Cloud Table…

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

 

The Cloud Table by artist/sculptor Guy de Rougemont (circa 1971) is a modern classic piece that is both versatile and glamorous.  It comes in an array of colored plexiglass and can have an aluminum or gold finish, and is certainly interior design that could be considered ahead of its time, especially in the ’70s…although we could see this piece in a contemporary home in Austin, today.  Originals are being auctioned off for six-figure sums of money, so we choose to be inspired and enjoy them from afar!
