Can You Combine Style with Function?
The function of a design is just as important as style. No matter how beautiful a space looks the design fails if the users can't function the way they need to in the space.
Let's look at this through the aspect of storage... Every home and every space NEEDS storage. It's a fact, you need somewhere to hide things away or simply store items away from the kids. So, how can you achieve this? One possibility is using closet space, but you can also use a practical piece of furniture such as a console, buffet, cabinet, etc. This means it can be a beautiful statement piece in your space as well as hiding and preventing clutter in your home.
We love incorporating unique and beautiful accent pieces in our design, and added storage and functionality is always a plus! We have access to some amazing pieces through our vendors that we just love. Let us know if we can help you by designing a more functional and beautiful space in your home.
