December’s Designer of the Month – Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Wheaton, Lombard & MORE

by

interior-design-quote

Interior design is not for everyone and that’s okay! That doesn’t mean you don’t want your home to look beautiful or have a brilliant sense of style and balance, it just means that you may have a little difficulty arranging the contents and selecting styles and colors for fabric, furniture and flooring so that they all flow wonderfully with one another. There’s no shame in that and there’s usually a relatively easy fix as long as you’re willing to put a little trust in someone else and can try and help them understand your personal preference on style and design ideas. Work with a designer!! Interior designers are amazing individuals who work long and hard to help you make your home beautiful and a reflection of your style choices. What may come as a difficult process for you is usually done effortlessly by them because it’s simply what they do!

This December, DeSitter recognizes Deb Diver as our Designer of the Month! Read below to get a quick feel for what Deb does and how she can help you! Please feel free to contact her office to set up a design consultation and see how she can help you Unleash the Beauty Within…

“Hi, I’m Deb of Deb Diver Interior Design.  I bring my enthusiasm for beautiful design elements and infuse it in my clients’ homes, making them stylish, warm, and inviting. By working with you and understanding your lifestyle and visions, I create a customized design concept that reveals a whole new beauty inside your home that you never knew was possible. My designs are more than just ordinary- I can offer fabulous ideas for your project and will show you how to perfectly blend textures, colors, and style to make our concept come to life.

Whether you’re looking for a small transformation with a new piece of furniture or draperies or you want  a complete overhaul of your master suite, kitchen, or even entire home, I’ll provide you with an extraordinary, individualized plan, no matter the size.

Give a little love back to your home and get ready to unleash the beauty ​within.”

How to Choose an Area Rug – LaGrange, Hinsdale, Burr Ridge, Western Springs & MORE

You’re interested in purchasing an Area Rug for your home but what’s the best way to do so?

First, you need to decide if the Area Rug is to serve as the focal point of the room or if it is to be used more as an accent to your room’s decor. It truly does make a difference! If it’s to be the main design piece of the room, you will have to coordinate all of your other decor around the rug. If it is to be an accent to your room’s decor, then you have to make sure the color or design balances with everything else in the room and helps accent it.

Next, you need to decide what size Area Rug you need. This can be a little tricky because some people like it differently than others. It’s YOUR Area Rug and YOUR room, so feel free to choose what you feel looks best! If you’re interested in what the “rules of thumb” generally are for Area Rug sizes, this is what is often said:

  • For dining rooms, it’s recommended to have the Area Rug be large enough to not only hold the table, but to accommodate the chairs as well.
  • For hallway runners, it’s recommended to have at least 6 inches of flooring shown on each side of the runner.
  • In general, it’s recommended to have the Area Rug be 2 feet shorter than the shortest wall in the room.
  • In large rooms, a general rule is to have about 18 inches of bare floor between the edge of the rug and the perimeter walls.
  • In smaller rooms, the general rule is to have about 8 inches of bare floor between the edge of the rug and the perimeter walls.
  • For bedrooms, you can either have 12-18 shown of the rug on the sides and foot of the bed OR you can simply have a smaller rug (same width as that of the bed) at the foot of the bed. You can even have runners on each side of the bed (and at the foot of the bed too!), if you’d like.
  • In larger rooms, you can have one large rug OR you can also coordinate two or more rugs together and have them all in the same room

If you do research on how to select an Area Rug, you are going to come across a ton of different “general rules” and “rules of thumb” and read all sorts of different opinions on the Do’s or Don’ts. You simply need to keep in mind that there will never be a right or wrong answer, just an opinion and a preference. Feel free to bend or break the rules.

Make your space YOURS! Get creative, step out of your comfort one, introduce colors to your rooms, and have fun with your interior design!

Preparing Your Floors for the Winter Weather – Glen Ellyn, Hinsdale, Western Springs, Willowbrook, Carol Stream, LaGrange

entry-mat mats  54fe9e3c2e7fd-rain-boot-tray-0410-xl 001

Fall is already upon us, which means colder and wetter weather is just around the corner as we prepare for Winter! Not only do we have to start bundling up and protecting ourselves from the harsh weather, it’s time to do the same with your flooring!

When you think of fall and winter weather, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Rain? Snow? Both? Of course it is! And we all know that means there is going to be a lot of muddy and slushy shoes walking through our homes, which is a nightmare in itself for your flooring.

We all obviously have a million other things to worry about but just doing a few simple, routine tasks can help you prevent any wear and tear to your floors!

  • ALWAYS keep a mat or plastic tray by each entry way so that you can remove your shoes and not track the snow or rain on your shoes through your home.
    • When you have carpeting, the water will be absorbed into the carpet and any dirt will stain the carpeting as well
    • When you have hardwood flooring, ANY moisture is bad! The salt residue and dirt on your shoes can also scratch the wood.
    • Added moisture on tile, LVT, laminate flooring will make the floor very slippery and difficult to walk on without slipping and possibly falling
  • You should also keep a towel or mop near the entry ways so that you can be sure to wipe up any wet spots right away!
  • It’s recommended to do one good cleaning on your floors before the really harsh weather conditions hit so that you can continue with routine maintenance during the fall/winter months
  • When you have hardwood flooring, you have to consider the humidity level in your home. With not enough humidity in the air, you can get cupping and gaps in the hardwood flooring
  • Area Rugs are great additions for design appeal but also serve as added protection to your floors

Interior Decorating & the Colors of Fall – LaGrange, Western Springs, Carol Stream & Glen Ellyn

by

We know Fall is upon us once we see the leaves start changing colors and feel the crispness of the cool air. While each season is known for it’s own specific holidays, weather changes, types of activities, etc., there is no argument that Fall is simply beautiful with all of it’s amazing colors all around us that paint different pictures every where you look.

When you think of Fall, what comes to mind? Is it the colorful leaves, the falling of the leaves, or the warm comfort food cooking on the stove or in the crockpot? Could it be the yummy smell of homemade treats baking in the oven? Can you imagine the smiles on people’s faces when they are jumping in the piles of leaves in the yards? Do you get excited just thinking about Halloween, Thanksgiving or other times you gather with your family and friends? You may simply start thinking about hot cocoa and movies while cuddled next to the fire or under blankets. Whatever it is that comes to mind when you think of Fall, it’s a given that they are happy thoughts and a time to look forward to. Fall gives a sense of change all while allowing you to feel comfort and peace.

With such wonderful feelings associated with Fall, it would be silly to not consider using the colors of Fall to transform your home’s interior. Bring those feelings into your home! It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to change every aspect of your decor, just add a few things here and there. You can choose to change the flooring completely and go with an earthtone or somewhat neutral color or you can even add an Area Rug to be a design piece in your room! Even if you’re not willing to change up your flooring just yet, how about considering changing the color of the paint on your walls or adding an accent wall? You can also do simpler things, such as incorporating throw pillows or decorative items that show the colors of Fall or bring the sense of Fall into your home.

Whatever you decide to do, make it yours! Your home should be a reflection of those that occupy it and not necessarily have to show off the newest and latest trends. A happy home is one that you love to be in and share with one another.

November’s Designer of the Month – Interiors by Maribeth in LaGrange, IL

by

Whether you live in a house, condo, townhome, apartment, etc., you want to feel comfortable where you live. The space should feel like it is yours and should reflect your design and personality tastes. While this sounds great, it is not always easy to do and people often need help figuring out how to design their interior spaces. Not only does DeSitter have a large variety of flooring products to choose from, as well as the best installers around to install it, we also have sales people who are great with designing rooms and we have business relationships with some of the best interior designers too!

Each month, DeSitter takes time to recognize an interior designer that we’ve built a solid business relationship with and this month, it’s Maribeth Marinich from Interiors by Maribeth in LaGrange!

A personal message from Maribeth Marinich:

Congratulations! You are thinking about updating your flooring from subtle to statement! As you know, choosing the right flooring may be a bit overwhelming when designing your new space. Using a designer will take the stress right off your shoulders. They will help you determine what factors you should look for when picking out perfect material, color, texture, and style for your space. 

When working with the existing décor, a designer will help determine whether your room needs a splash of color, a contrast of texture or the addition of a print. DeSitter offers a wide variety of high quality options in each of these categories.

Many questions arise when choosing new wood flooring- what tone and size planking would you like? Do you want an inlaid pattern on the floor or just a classic installation? A designer will help you choose the correct wood flooring with answering all your questions in mind. DeSitter offers a large variety of prefinished and finished planking to accomplish all your design needs.

DeSitter has many diverse vendors who offer pre-made rugs with a mixture of sizes. The use of a designer can help the selection of prints and colors that are appropriate for your room.

Whether you are remodeling a kitchen, bathroom or bar, tile selection can be an overwhelming experience. A knowledgeable designer will assist with picking the right material, pattern, function, and focal points needed for your space.

I have been transforming spaces and working with my clients on the most cost effective methods of space planning for over 30 years. I believe that no project is too big or too small. I prefer to work hand-in-hand with my clients to create a space that reflects their personality and style.
