For the past 4 days, I’ve selected pieces of inspirational beauty from 1stdibs.com, a terrific online resource for art and home furnishings. Why only from them? Mainly because I wanted to prove this was possible. I still like going to places, touching the pieces and speaking face-to-face with the store/gallery owners, but this is certainly an option… if not for an ENTIRE project, at least for a good part of it.
In this case, the client, a bachelor banker in his 30s, wants a stylish living room with unique vintage pieces. Here I’ve gathered my picks in a “pickboard” and included a sketch of the layout for your reference. For specific info on each piece or to see why I selected them, please visit the posts from earlier in the week.
Obviously a finished room needs more than several items of furniture/art to make it a truly stylish, comfortable and livable space, but this is a first step. One cannot forget to consider the room layout, architecture, volume and size when selecting furniture/art/accessories. Wall, floor, door and window treatments; pillows, accessories and the furniture layout all need to be layered and work well together in order to make a room sing. Not bad for a week’s work!
