The Four Walls Latest Design Project

Hi Blog Readers!
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. The Four Walls just completed the interior of a fabulous new restaurant in Newton Center, Mass. This Bistro serves upscale Tai food with a flair!
I enjoyed working with these folks in creating a hip relaxing atmosphere that incorporated vinyl wallcovering replicating a grass cloth texture. All the fabrics used gave the added pop of color, and a leaf wallcovering was applied in the restaurant bathroom.
So folks, BRING ON THE CHOPSTICKS!

Best wishes,
Robin

William Morris Style!

Hi Blog Readers !

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer thus far. Exciting news, my client Sophia just bought a home in a suburb of Boston and shared with me one of the rooms she renovated, and sent me a picture of the William Morris wallcovering, she had purchased from my store. This design works as a timeless backdrop for any style home. It can incorporate a traditional theme and "dance" with a slight contemporary interior.This works so beautifully in her office space!

Thank you Sophia for this picture! See you soon for the Master bedroom!

As I always say folks "Don't be afraid to decorate!"

"Glam Industrial Wallcovering"

Hi blog readers,

I would like to share a new wallcovering collection that I am simply crazy over! It is from designer Ronald Redding. Glam Industrial it is called. This collection is suitable for any space in your home.
The reason being is the fact it is vinyl, but not the ones that look like a Dr's office or an office building. It incorporates raised bold dimensional designs with golds,bronze and silver tones.

So folks,stop into  The Four Walls and take a peak! And like I always say..."Don't be afraid to decorate!"

New Wallcovering Collection At The Four Walls!

Hello Blog Readers,

I have just discovered an exciting new line of wallcovering that is now available at my shop that I would like to share with you. It is from a distributor out of the UK and this collection is very different, contemporary and fresh! The company is called Paper Moon. I have always favored small boutique wallpaper mills as long as they have great customer service.

The collections are everything from mosaic prints, soft pastel floral designs, great murals that are funky,interesting geometric prints and stripes! There are just too many to showcase.

Stop by The Four Walls and take a peak!
And like I always say,"Don't be afraid to decorate!"

Let's chat have a seat!

Hi blog readers!
I would like to share one of my most favorite furniture pieces with you, it is from Thibaut. They are a wallcovering and fabric company now involved with manufacturing fine furniture as I had mentioned in a previous blog post. They have just come out with a chair that is so versatile that I have chosen it for many of my current design projects! The reason this chair is an interior designers dream  is the fact that the seat cushion is twenty inches wide, has a back cushion for comfort and it comes as a bar stool height as well. Now the finishes...any custom color your heart desires! The style has an elegant but contemporary bamboo frame. Put a hip stunning fabric on it from the Thibaut fabric line available at The Four Walls and let's chat.... have a seat!

Until the next time, don't be afraid to decorate!

Don't Forget The Trimmings!

Welcome back blog readers!

Today I would like to discuss one of my design faves! The importance of decorative trimmings. Most often this little design element, trimmings is left out when the fabric selection has been finalized. Very sad I say.As an interior designer I feel that it adds to the complete look on the reupholstering of a piece of furniture, the wow factor on a decorative pillow, and the finishing touch to a custom window treatment design application.To me folks,it's like a lady all dressed up in a stunning outfit with no jewelry!!
With so many choices today be it embroidered,beaded or one incorporating crystal let's add a stunning touch to your design concept! Don't stop right before the finish line, go the extra mile and add the design spark!

So fellow design enthusiasts don't forget the trimmings!!

Happy Decorating,

Best,
Robin

Bringing the Outside In!

Welcome Back Blog Readers!

With the warm weather trying to head our way here in New England, I have found myself trying to bring the spirit of the warm weather here a little faster by using more floral arrangements in my home and for clients homes as well. Nothing is more welcoming than the fabulous smell of fresh flowers cleverly arranged for the setting of a cocktail party in ones home, or a beautiful arrangement on a coffee table! I try to use the color tones of the room when choosing flowers.If the overall color scheme has too much color I tend to back off and just use white flowers so the room is not too busy.
Too much color in a room is sometimes not restful,and that applies to flower arrangements as well!

In regards to silk flowers, I personally prefer real flowers,but often times in room decor, one may need the consistent color scheme that only silk flower arrangements provide.As long as they look real and of good quality it can sometimes be hard to tell!

So Blog followers, with that being said,add some flowers to your home,bring the outside in and bring on Spring!!

Best,
Robin
