I will share one of the articles I wrote on Interior Design.  This has been published around the world and is on many websites today.

The article details “Seven Common Mistakes made in Interior Design”. Many you may already know of, but some may give you ideas on how to approach your next project.

Rarely are Interior Design Projects given sufficient time to nurture, collect and test ideas for a project. Many times,  critical decisions are rushed, preventing your project from…  “Revealing to You”,  the best Color, Texture and Effect.  Multiple samples must be tested to work the Interior Design Process. This way, you do not miss out on an opportunity to Wow!

So nothing too profound here, just a few thoughts on how to approach a really cool project.  Remember… your goal, our goal is always to create… “The Wow Effect”.

You can the full article on this link:   “The 7 Interior Design Mistakes”.

Also, the video below will walk you through it, but you better grab a cup of coffee… sorry, it’s a a little slow moving…

If you would like to share some ideas about your project you can reach David & I at  Contact us or Request a Quote.  To learn more about the Bella Effect on a project, visit our Testimonials. Have a Great Week!

Also, follow us on Facebook, where many of our projects are shared first.

Accent Walls are one of the most popular and affordable ways to create Drama and Define a Unique Area in your home or business.

Choosing a “Thought Provoking”…  Color, Texture or Effect for an Accent Wall, will interrupt the visual senses of the room. If done successfully, it will also pull all of the other layers of Color, Texture & Effect together, creating … “The Wow Effect”.

It is important to test New Sample Colors and Samples of Decorative Finishes to see what is creating drama and what is not.

Determining which wall to use for an Accent wall is not always easy. It could be a common wall used such as a Fireplace or TV wall. But it could also be a wall that you never would have considered before. That is why it is important to bring Fresh Eyes to your project to help discover your Unique Areas of Opportunity.

If you would like to share some ideas on Interior Design and Accent Walls, we would love to meet with you. We will bring a variety of samples of Paint Colors, Faux Finishes, Italian Venetian Plaster & Italian Finishes.

Now think about where in your Home or Business, do you have a room that is sleeping in… Drama. Then push the envelope for new ideas,  sometimes the perfect color & effect will jump out at you. But many times, you will need to keep samples for a few days to test them in different lighting.

If you would like to schedule a meeting, you can reach David and I at Contact Us or Request a Quote.  Also to learn more about working with Bella Faux Finishes and the Bella Effect, click on About Us and the Testimonials we have received.

It is Critical that you set a Very High Interior Design Goal for your project. Don’t settle for just a common effect. Next, discover where your Accent Wall is in your Home or Business and then “Lets Wake it up with a Unique Color or Effect”.

For Interior Design ideas, you can also visit our Gallery and Before & After project photos. Best of Luck this year! We look forward to meeting with you…

Rock your Home with… Color, Texture & Effect! If your walls are looking like every other home and are not reflecting your Identity for personal Interior Design ideas and tastes, then lets jump off the cliff together. Lets see what magic we can create in your Home or Business.

“The Interior Design of your Home, should immediately separate you from the crowd. You are Different and your Castle should quietly Whisper that…”

Great Interior Designs are created by taking Risks and Breaking away from the common and testing New Colors, Texture & Effects.
