Design Notes - By Michelle Waldo Interiors: Sophisticated, Lounge-like Residential Bar + Media Room
http://designnotesbymichellewaldointeriors.blogspot.com/2010/04/sophisticated-lounge-like-residential.html
Design Notes - By Michelle Waldo Interiors. Monday, April 26, 2010. Sophisticated, Lounge-like Residential Bar Media Room. My clients, an established professional couple in East Norriton Township, wanted to create a bar, media room, and powder room on the first floor of their home. Because they frequently entertain large groups of family and friends, they needed a separate space where guests could socialize, gather around the bar for drinks, and watch movies or sports on a large screen TV. In the bar sea...

Design Notes - By Michelle Waldo Interiors. Monday, July 6, 2009. Color in Modern Contemporary Interiors - Part 1. Sometimes my clients are afraid of color. I however, find color to be a useful way to set the mood of a space. It can help you feel energized, relaxed, calm, excited, happy, playful and so much more. Below are some images featuring earth-toned color palettes that I like. These images show work by other talented designers except where it specifically states that the work is my own. This was a...

Friday, June 29, 2012. Inspiration Friday No.18 Makeup Studio Design. As many of you know, I have been working on putting together a makeup studio in my home. I compiled some of my favorites images. Every girl needs a little glamour. Pale pinks are a pretty background. Pink is a beautiful color to make a woman's skin glow. Pink and glamour together. Now that's hot! Pretty makeup displayed in a way that leads to lots of experimenting and playing around! We like to touch and try things on. This is the logo...

Design Notes - By Michelle Waldo Interiors. Wednesday, February 13, 2008. There is no end to the amount of amazing glass and special feature tile that's on the market today. Glass tile adds such depth and personality to a space. Because of its cost, I try to use it in areas where it will provide the most impact for my client's investment. Here are some very cool tiles that I like. A beautiful tile called Opera Glass from Artistic Tile. I love the look of a modern stair rail. Although a lot of clients...

Design Notes - By Michelle Waldo Interiors. Monday, July 6, 2009. Color in Modern Contemporary Interiors - Part 2. In my last post I talked about earthy color palettes. This time, I'd like to talk about using whites and other light neutral colors with added punches of bold color. The images below (of work by other talented designers) illustrate my comments. Here again is a space with lots of whites and creams and natural wood tones balanced by touches of red. To decorate your Home and Office. I'm the int...

Design Notes - By Michelle Waldo Interiors. Thursday, July 25, 2013. Why I Like, and Hate, HGTV. Before I started my own design firm in 2006, I used to love HGTV. I thought it was great that so many people were learning about design and that people were realizing the impact that design could have on their lives. HGTV has exposed a lot of people to design that otherwise may not have had that exposure. That is incredibly misleading to viewers. What the viewer doesn’t see is the reality. They ...I need to c...

Design Notes - By Michelle Waldo Interiors. Tuesday, July 7, 2009. Using Lighting to Set a Mood in Modern Interiors. I love the way that color can set a mood. That said, lighting is equally as important in mood creation. Below I share some images of spaces by other talented designers (these images are not of my work) that convey a cozy, inviting mood in a large part due to their lighting. This reception area does a great job with its lighting. This bar is all about mood lighting. These lantern style ligh...

Design Notes - By Michelle Waldo Interiors. Monday, January 7, 2013. Full Design Projects vs. Consultations: What’s the Difference? Prospective clients often contact me saying they love my portfolio. Sometimes they call attention to one or two photographs, saying they want a similar feel for their living room, bedroom, or whatever their space may be. Are you looking for a designer to develop a full design plan, soup to nuts, or are you just looking for some specific feedback on one part of the design?
