The color scheme, furniture placement and accessories should all connect back to it. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyK0SB4CgKCtTjEI_syKDFedU3NUv_rlfVa4puX9lrqlBTURQaMRXw8rAmw3iLBkP65n8K1jPInqynru4L7VUkSzu11qiDzMslBIODIfx9BQcEXtKfeLlrI10AQn86_zv4ukozOzK9I6HH/s1600/schumacher_willessin_Living_lg.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590165879432075442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyK0SB4CgKCtTjEI_syKDFedU3NUv_rlfVa4puX9lrqlBTURQaMRXw8rAmw3iLBkP65n8K1jPInqynru4L7VUkSzu11qiDzMslBIODIfx9BQcEXtKfeLlrI10AQn86_zv4ukozOzK9I6HH/s400/schumacher_willessin_Living_lg.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> Uplighting with a dimmer can create mood when entertaining. We used a shag rug and black wood veneer wallpaper as a wainscot for a masculine and swanky look for a swingin' single guy in downtown Denver.

The walls are painted in wide stripes, which quickly give the room a lot of interest. The furnishings are straight-lined, bordering on modern. The textured rug, highly coordinated accessories, glass desk and great chandelier add the finishing touches. </div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidIyzfYw3Nq8gwLapO_Ul8UCncZx_mWAgy5QtcgVfMinUaksrDfGZf3LfE6slCj1ihlrp0UJf1_AjVpAA_gNv60LRz_YDsUkRq3Qv9KLHh05Eoehnsyh57b4Mc41fFTXNqIyfLVa_pW3Q9/s1600/DP_beasley-round-rug_s4x3_lg.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590164924338124034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidIyzfYw3Nq8gwLapO_Ul8UCncZx_mWAgy5QtcgVfMinUaksrDfGZf3LfE6slCj1ihlrp0UJf1_AjVpAA_gNv60LRz_YDsUkRq3Qv9KLHh05Eoehnsyh57b4Mc41fFTXNqIyfLVa_pW3Q9/s400/DP_beasley-round-rug_s4x3_lg.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> In the grand salon, the ceilings were improved with artful soffits to create soft curves, which are also reflected in the furnishings and rug. The walls were dressed with an unexpected horizontal staggered-line tile and wave panel resin material. A beautiful bar was design and built for entertaining. Two conversation areas were laid out in the grand salon. The sofas are a deep chocolate mohair and paired with classic egg chairs and a custom entertainment console dressed with oversized hardware and ostrich leather.Design Tip: Walls don’t have to be painted or papered. Think about tiles, even in a living room. </div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix8kJO7u_2otqtpEZTBacuwTPh9y1kFLadkvuT3TuvExKHDuUGNkbTi030bVGqaJUVgDVOACOR6nW5visa_AFm2ZzvXrRyjOZAzrGVSqR9axvPcXWvm_t9HEM9wHs1eXdM-TJAjxARNYFw/s1600/DP_DeLeon-neutral-living-room_s4x3_lg.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590164634928170194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix8kJO7u_2otqtpEZTBacuwTPh9y1kFLadkvuT3TuvExKHDuUGNkbTi030bVGqaJUVgDVOACOR6nW5visa_AFm2ZzvXrRyjOZAzrGVSqR9axvPcXWvm_t9HEM9wHs1eXdM-TJAjxARNYFw/s400/DP_DeLeon-neutral-living-room_s4x3_lg.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> Earthy tones combine this open space as living room, dining room and kitchen, giving a cozy ambiance. </div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypK-5UVvte_M6Cu-PNf9IPwP6z67Y6C3obt1dmVCusBXl1gWasT7QoMlDeHNJ7LKq0R48AC4YcPKqgkDCgILct7hllDKJi8tpnx7_ghF1nPReLL459gpJmFCq8a4I31LIYxOnCxMWEpY5/s1600/DP_SPI-earth-toned-living-room_s4x3_lg.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590163940158001794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypK-5UVvte_M6Cu-PNf9IPwP6z67Y6C3obt1dmVCusBXl1gWasT7QoMlDeHNJ7LKq0R48AC4YcPKqgkDCgILct7hllDKJi8tpnx7_ghF1nPReLL459gpJmFCq8a4I31LIYxOnCxMWEpY5/s400/DP_SPI-earth-toned-living-room_s4x3_lg.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> The ebonized floors and stark white walls provided the perfect backdrop for furnishings in a palette of warm earth tones and various types of wood.

Through her years of experience, Erica has developed a unique style of mixing old with new and giving each project a timeless feel. Seamlessly juxtaposing limestone, marble, earthy woods, textured fabrics and organic colors with materials such as metal and glass is what gives Erica's work a striking and harmonious feel.<br /><br />EMI Interior Designs' philosophy is to create inviting and elegant interiors-- straying from trends that will only disappoint in years to come. Their design approach is to Architecturally space plan every square inch of a room to work both aesthetically and functionally. Each project is tailored specifically to each client, as Erica pays special attention to every detail that goes into project. Known for her incredible Kitchens and Bathroom renovations, challenges such as small spaces and children's rooms are welcome and embraced by Erica and her staff, as they creatively transform some of the smallest most unusable spaces to multi-functional rooms. EMI Interior Design is committed to using sustainable materials, wherever possible.<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT106euych840_f_YDw3YbUp8KyeHG_rzAo2k6V1BBXhtjvvPyz6X1KP8SUm3KYauTL4grmFJT8nJ8cszzhxAJyTnhXZJs8RIkH8CzxAeeciyL5c8d6zsKJVXYADrd5YWI_lf5tJ6GQrZZ/s1600/DP_Islas-modern-kitchen_s4x3_lg.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585879852492211714" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT106euych840_f_YDw3YbUp8KyeHG_rzAo2k6V1BBXhtjvvPyz6X1KP8SUm3KYauTL4grmFJT8nJ8cszzhxAJyTnhXZJs8RIkH8CzxAeeciyL5c8d6zsKJVXYADrd5YWI_lf5tJ6GQrZZ/s400/DP_Islas-modern-kitchen_s4x3_lg.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /> <br /><p align="center"></a>The Aga stove is the star of this kitchen, complementing the rustic beams and architecture of the home.

Mr. Adams believes that in order to create a living space as individualistic as its owner’s taste, each space needs to take into account its surrounding spaces.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOBT_OaTbwTX9oyqxEq1niVUDgREwMTAeM8CyeSPcCTNvx1vV-Xcl1nuSvdDKNNg9Wn33GTK7U8wAHGwvi9phFoEkHXwDKjfjlqDD0Wfe9g0q_Qa471BDoNxDBfn0SmX6T2He0iIoP70SW/s1600/untitled.bmp"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585485368565167954" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOBT_OaTbwTX9oyqxEq1niVUDgREwMTAeM8CyeSPcCTNvx1vV-Xcl1nuSvdDKNNg9Wn33GTK7U8wAHGwvi9phFoEkHXwDKjfjlqDD0Wfe9g0q_Qa471BDoNxDBfn0SmX6T2He0iIoP70SW/s400/untitled.bmp" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a><br />This kitchen design is a fine example of my FusionDesign philosophy in practice.

His kitchens frequently appear on HGTV (he designed all 40 kitchen variations shown on the network’s interactive design website)<br /><br />As early as 16, he was working as a draftsman for a custom kitchen designer through a program at Cheltenham High School. And even then, his boss told him, “You are meant to do this.”<br /><br />Loyalty is a very big thing for Stimmel. He employs the same team for all his installations. And while he has designed — and won awards for — kitchens ranging from $40,000 to way over $100,000, the common denominator is his own loyalty to his vision. “It’s not about the budget,” he says. “It’s just about doing something great."<br /><br />For Stimmel, it’s about versatility and his love of the job. “There’s no pigeonholing me,” he says. “And it’s my passion, completely; I could do this 24/7, 365 days a year.
