STYLE FILES – Accent Your Decor

Portland OR. Interior Design Blog

Accent chairs are a great way to compliment your larger pieces of furniture.  They add flair and style to your home design scheme, not to mention the benefit of extra seating.  An addition of color and texture, side chairs can update your room without having to tug on the purse strings for all new furniture.  With so many different styles, there is truly something for everyone, no matter what your style or budget may be.

BROCK DESIGN GROUP ON LOCATION

Brock Design Group

Portland OR. Interior Design Blog

We are so excited to share our most recently photographed project.  This fantastic home is nestled in a beautifully wooded landscape in Tualatin, Oregon.  The redesign focused on the desire for entertaining while keeping a casual feeling in this comfortable family home.   Brock Design Group created this clean traditional look using white cabinetry and moldings with beautiful architectural details.  The black granite is easy to clean and the look is softened by a textured, leathered finish.  Taupe subway tiles create warmth on the backsplash and the brick set installation gives a classic detail this kitchen required.   Deep, rich hues on the walls and flooring are a perfect contrast to the white kitchen cabinetry and the beautiful lighting fixtures add a touch of the homeowner’s character.  The cabinet bases in the kitchen and laundry room have unique architectural detail that capture the eye and add depth.  The aesthetic is a clean and updated traditional that suits this family’s lifestyle.

Brock Design Group

Portland OR. Interior Design Blog

Yesterday, in our Brock Design blog, we talked about the backyard oasis.  Today, let’s move to the front and add some curb appeal and value to your home.   Altering the front of your home for great curb appeal doesn’t have to be daunting.  Most tasks can be done in a day or weekend.  Here are some quick points of action for  a beautiful front entrance ~

* Give your home some dimension by adding a bold, contrasting color to your front door

* Add a fresh coat of paint on the house and trim

* Create symmetry with plants and trees on either side of your door and in the yard

* Install efficient lighting to guide you into the home

* Add an arbor or fence

* A water feature is not only pleasing to the eye, but soothing as well

* Mount window boxes or shutters that draw the eye to the front of the house

* Spruce up your driveway and walkway by keeping a clean edge detail, power wash the brick or concrete and add some perimeter plants and flowers

Get out there.  Your neighbors are waiting!

STYLE FILES – Backyards To Enjoy The Summer With

Brock Design Group

Portland OR. Interior Design Blog

With the sun finally starting to peak through the spring clouds, I’m anxious to spend more time outside.  I love taking a cup of coffee, my laptop and sunglasses out on to the back deck to enjoy the warm weather and fresh air.  We went browsing for some out of this world outdoor spaces and wanted to show you our favorites.  These may be what most of us could only dream about, but they give me inspiration to spruce my little patio up and get out there and enjoy it!   Let’s face it, sometimes the best vacation spot is in your own backyard.

Walking into a kitchen or bathroom, usually the first thing to grab your eye is the countertop – marble, quartz, stainless steel, glass, wood.  An expanse of beautiful material makes you want to run your hand across it and soak it into your senses.
