How have you been sleeping? I bet if you had this How have you been sleeping? I bet if you had this room, you'd be resting pretty! The bedroom is the one room in your home where you can fully rest and reset. Having a warm, soft and cozy room makes you relax instantly. Whether it's just a quick glance into the room as you walk by, or as you're getting ready to melt into this amazing bed for the night - the bedroom sets the tone for resting and reconnecting with yourself, your partner or your pet friends (if that's your thing). Hope you're all resting well! 📸 @atelier_am_inc
Experts agree on The IT color for Interior Design Experts agree on The IT color for Interior Design in 2022!  We'll give you a hint: it goes both ways and swings between modern and traditional, which makes it perfect for any style.   And there are plenty of ways to introduce this color into your home to make a meaningful impact. Light Sage Green, or whatever beautiful name you want to call it (October Mist, Evergreen Fog and Olive Sprig) was a pretty unanimous pick for Color of the Year.   We may be biased, but we are all about the Green, no matter the hue.  Our philosophy in interior design has always been about sustainability and health.  We love to bring the outdoors in, to add touches of nature to our immediate surroundings and to create an environment rich with wellness. And this shade of green has a slight grey undertone which really makes it feel updated and modern.  With a blend of yellow and blue, green is both energizing and relaxing at the same time.  It can take on many meanings from an abundance of nature, to stability and wealth.   More examples of the meaning of the color Green: Balance + Harmony Health + Healing Clean Organic Nature + Mother Earth Sustainability + Eco-Friendly Growth + Progression Fresh and New Wealth + Stability Abundance of Luck + Prosperity Holds Value Promotes Peace Fair + Just  Wisdom Efficiency The Psychological Effects of the Color Green can be: Peaceful, Calming Comfort + Relaxation Restorative Positive Feelings Security Enhances Cognitive Brain Function Balance Logical Head over to this week's blog where we help you with 10 Ways to Use the 2022 Color of the Year at Home.  Don't forget to watch the behind the scenes process of selecting a new color each year.

Are you in the mood for fall?  I know I am!  I l Are you in the mood for fall?  I know I am!  I love making my home a little more cozy as the nights start to get longer and a little cooler. When you decorate for fall, we like it to be a reflection of you and your natural surroundings.  Whether you're by the beach, near a tree filled canyon or out in the dusty desert - Bring those colors and elements into your home for that continued indoor outdoor connection.   And no need to buy new things!  When you want to update your home in autumn and incorporate all that you appreciate about sustainable living and Green Interior Design, use items that you already have around the house.   Take a walk outside and see what you find.  Get creative and add in natural, earthy elements like twigs, pinecones or gourds clustered in a clear glass vase, table top or fireplace mantel.  Or be inspired by animals, like this faux horn lamp with burlap shade in our client's walk-in closet.  Swap out cooler colors for a darker shade of fall, like iron, rusty copper or a soft sage green like #OctoberMist by @benjaminmoore.  Don't forget those sensory layers that really make fall feel cozy - those yummy scents, textures and dimmed amber lights.  And you've got it!  Transitioning your home from summer into fall is easy with a few simple steps.  If you need a little inspiration, we got you.  Just sit back and relax with your pumpkin latte.  Get warm and cozy.  And head to this week's blog where we talk color, lighting, accessories, and more.  Link's in the bio. 📸 @erikahbierman

Looking to save water?  Well, how about money whi Looking to save water?  Well, how about money while you're at it?  Then look around at the plumbing fixtures in your Kitchen and Baths as the culprits. When selecting appliances and plumbing fixtures for a remodel, renovation or to upgrade into a more green home, pay close attention to water and energy conservation features in addition to performance and style.  And make sure to select quality materials that will last for decades.  Designing in a water-wise manner will be required by law in the coming years.  We've already seen it here in California.  Studies say that in the next decade, water shortages will be a serious worldwide problem.  Our current water resources will not be sufficient anymore.  If we want the next generation to have fresh clean water, we will need to take a new approach toward our usage and waste. In this week's blog, we share the Top 5 Plumbing Fixtures that Will Conserve Water at Home - Great for those Kitchen and Bath Remodels!  (Link in bio) Photo and Design Partnerned with @whitesandsdesignbuild
