May's Design Accent

Who knew Paige’s secret talent were flowers!? This month we’re focusing on everything FLORAL! Did you know Paige has been designing floral arrangements for over 15 years with The English Garden, a boutique floral shop in Belle Meade? She has a lot of knowledge on flowers and its led to some really beautiful installs we’ve had!

In every install we do, Paige always makes sure we include beautiful flowers! They breathe life into a space and bring so much happiness to the ending of a well-done project.

If you want to see the finished picture of this design, look here. We’re really proud of how it all turned out so beautifully!

February’s Design Accent

We love bold and colorful patterns! This month, we’re focusing on the many different ways we use STRIPES! Stripes add movement to a space, which can either be playful or a bit more classic depending on the color and repetition of the stripe.

Where did stripes come from?

They first appeared in medieval times to segregate prisoners and delinquents from common people. They again showed up in the 1920’s in women’s fashion—most notably activewear and working clothes, as a sign of rebellion during the women’s suffrage movement. In the 1940’s, pin stripes became popular in men’s clothing, largely due to the mobsters of the time making it their “uniform”. Honoring both past and present, stripes are definitely a societal disturbance.

How do we use stripes?

This month, we’re going to be featuring some of the different ways we use stripes in our projects! But here are a couple ways we’ve loved adding some excitement to a space.

These pillows, used in the O’More Showhouse, are made of the same fabric from the chairs above. But they have a super fun hot pink fringe!

The pattern on these chairs definitely lend themselves to the more playful side. Their stripes are more detailed with an extra pattern. However, from a distance, still read as stripes. Check out the rest of the home!

The featured art that Paige is posing with is by Gina Julian! She is an über talented artist, whom we have admired for some time. Check her out—she’s inspirational!

“We’re excited to look back and see what fun projects we’ve used stripes in! Stay tuned! ”

Office Makeover

It’s so important loving where you work, being around people who encourage you and loving the difference you make! But it is just as important to love the place where you spend so much of your time. This office makeover was a super quick turnaround, but with huge results. 

After avoiding going to the office for months, our client decided to put in the time to make the office more enjoyable. With a little help from us, we used what they already had (a rug and a couch) and began designing. Their wish list: increased productivity, feeling proud to bring clients to the office, and to increase their storage. We decided to paint the walls a blue-grey and the acoustical ceiling tiles black. Doing this makes the low ceiling feel a bit further away and conceals the watermarks and age of the tiles— an easier fix than replacing them. 

We included texture in the storage boxes below, selected a warm toned console table and added some additional lighting. Their smaller accessories were displayed on a shelf, which maximized their table space. Pretty folders were displayed on the wall, as well as some colorful art.

Our client desperately needed storage. Although filing cabinets are ever present in the office, we decided on these adorable storage boxes. The neutral grasscloth and the mother of pearl handles elevate the space and make for functional and quick access.

Little details can make the difference between making an office feel like a home away from home.

December's Color of the Month

Here at Paige Williams Design, we love the luxurious feel of a deep teal color. We think it is both calming and mood-boosting! Teal can stand on its own as a dramatic piece or lend itself as a show-stopping accent color. It pairs itself well to other blues, grays, and it looks quite glamorous paired with gold. It is most definitely a favorite here at the office, we hope you love it too.

Hey, check out some of our inspiration’s behind Oceanside!

“Hey everyone!
That wraps up the end of the year! We so hoped you enjoyed learning a little bit more about color through 2019. Looking forward to what’s in store for us in 2020. Happy New Year! ”
