Everyone has a different relationship with cleanliness and organization. Some of us are Monica from Friends and others prescribe to an organized chaos lifestyle. Either way, we can all agree that spring is the perfect time to clean out and organize our homes, our cars, and our wardrobes.

 

The state of your home has an enormous effect on your wellbeing and your mood. And it may not be something you experience until you take the time to organize your home and feel the difference when you walk in your door.

We spoke to Cindy Rubenfeld, our manager in Middleton about florals and how she likes to incorporate them into the home in a modern way. She describes, "Florals continue to come back every spring. Keeping the look modern is all about the type of floral pattern and how you pair it with your decor."   When you think of florals as an overarching category, you may also associate it with an outdated style. But the truth is, 'florals' is a blanket term that encompasses many different styles of prints; from the ultra-feminine and dainty to more abstract bold patterns.   Regardless of your style, you can find a way to incorporate florals into your home in a way that's unique to you.     A modern ...

City living can often mean that your space is limited. And even if you don't live in the city, smaller, narrower rooms can prove challenging. But there's no reason you can't have the design you desire with a smaller scale.   And scale is really what it's all about. When you're designing a smaller room it's all about optimizing the space you do have in the best way possible.   James Keeter, a Design Consultant in our Boston showroom, often works with customers who are looking to make the most out of their smaller homes or apartments. His pick for optimizing small spaces The new Micro Depth in Personalize from American Leather.     What is it   Previously, we wrote a review (read it here!) about the Personalize ...

We might be a few months into the New Year, but a new season (it's officially Spring!) is the perfect time to incorporate new trends into your home. And our designers are always on the pulse on what's up and coming in interior design.

 

Trends have a way of moving in a circular motion. What once was popular will inevitably come around again. And what's popular now may at some point be considered outdated.

  You may be under the impression that storage is one of those necessary evils in the home. Useful, functional, but maybe not the most interesting. We invite you to think again. Storage doesn't have to be boring, and in a lot of cases, it can be the focal point of a room. Meet the new storage credenza from BDI: The Tanami Console. With clean lines and textured, sculpted doors, the Tanami is a dramatic and multi-functional storage option.     Multipurpose, modern storage   The inspiration behind the Tanami was the Tanami Desert, and it features, in the company's words, "dune-like waves across the door fascia and side panels." Linda Maguire, store manager in our Boston showroom, loves it for its versatile capabilities. She says, ...
