Great, I'm so happy you like the look.
Our platform will stay open so just feel free to let me know if anything comes up, any dilemma or advise.
Thanks!

Everything looks perfect, thanks much Selma! You have done a phenomenal job!

Hi Konstantin,

I hope you are doing great.

I attached the final renderings, I'm excited to hear your thoughts. I think it looks great :)

In case everything looks well please 'accept' the renderings so we can take the next step, finalize the shopping list and final package.
Thanks!

Very excellent - thank you, Selma!

Hi Konstantin,
That sounds great - the next step are the final realistic 3D renderings which I will attach it the next couple of day. After that in case everything looks well you will just accept the renderings and we could finalize the project.
You can start purchasing before or after we finalize the project, whenever you feel ready.
Thanks!

Hi Selma,

It all looks great! Thank you very much for all your hard work and creativity! What would be the next step here? Or it is just we have to buy the proposed items and we are more or less done?

Thanks again,
Konstantin

Just to add about the shopping list - I've started the shopping list. You should contact Decorilla to buy your items because the ordering team will make sure to apply the best discounts or send you coupons. Additionally, they make any returns and customers service a lot easier.
You can just reach out to orders@decorilla.com before you buy (you can even email them the URLs you want to check) and they'll let you know what the best way to purchase each item is.
Thanks!

Hi Konstantin,

I'm attaching pre-rendering preview to review everything before the final renderings. In case everything works well just let me know so I could start working on the final scene.

// Please note that these pre-rendering previews are still in working progress - technical drawing without final finishes and tones, all the lines are visible what makes the whole scene much more aggressive (in final look it will look soft and neutral)
Also in these pre-rendering previews some areas in perspective seem darker, there are some differences in graphic - so until I provide the final renderings please follow the moodboard for the final finishes and colors (attached picture ''updated moodboard'') In the final renderings everything will look realistic. This pre-final version comes great to review the proportion and furniture placements. //

I put some decor - some options which could create a nice balance between the rustic and contemporary (with a little bit glam addition but I was careful with glam because of the rustic elements, specially the fireplace finish).
I put neutral decor so the effective furniture can have the main role, mainly abstract shapes in silver finish which would give great accent, here is what I put:

SOFA DECOR: I added a few pillows which could blend with the print ‘’Viland 349’’:
- pillows in sofa fabric (Aquaclean Victory 56),
- off-white (natural canvas) https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/willa-arlo-interiors-selleck-lumbar-pillow-wlao1527.html?piid=44778856 ,
- soft accent: https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/willa-arlo-interiors-selleck-lumbar-pillow-wlao1527.html?piid=44778856 (ivory)


COFFEE TABLE DECOR:
- vase https://www.decor-grace.com/collections/ceramic/products/0008 ,
- 2 hurricanes: https://www.potterybarn.com/products/addison-metal-glass-hurricane-candle-holder/?pkey=ccandle-holders&isx=0.0
- 2 linen books: https://www.etsy.com/listing/683636256/mix-match-fabric-covered-decorative?ref=nla_sfs-1&bes=1 (solid or textured cream)

CONSOLE TABLE DECOR:
- new suggestion for the table lamp (previous option is not available anymore) so I put this option https://www.zgallerie.com/p-23805-aurora-table-lamp.aspx (the onyx texture would give some glamorous touch and it could blend with existing rustic elements),
- decorative objects: https://www.uttermost.com/Kimora-Objects--S-2-18928/?SelectedSKU=18928 ,
- 2 linen books (solid or textured cream)

FIREPLACE DECOR: I kept the fireplace without much decor so the rustic stone can stay somehow individual. I added:
- 2 candle holders: https://www.perigold.com/decor/pdp/michael-aram-molten-metal-candlestick-miar1258.html ,
- abstract sculpture: https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/mercer41-lorine-decorative-sculpture-w002856853.html?piid=1224641772 ,
- 2 linen cream books and small accent https://www.cb2.com/crystal-dome-magnifier/s202634

DINING TABLE DECOR:
- bowl: https://www.perigold.com/decor/pdp/alessi-metal-sleek-decorative-bowl-in-silver-aas10180.html?piid=46811467 (some interesting shapes could look nice as well: https://www.perigold.com/decor/pdp/lunares-by-nima-oberoi-passage-decorative-bowl-noln1179.html?piid=34458814 , https://www.perigold.com/decor/pdp/lunares-by-nima-oberoi-passage-decorative-bowl-noln1178.html?piid=34458809%2C34458812 )

Concerning the whole scene: furniture, lighting, wall decor - I think everything fits great. I’m excited to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!

OK sounds great! I will prepare the 3D so we can see how everything looks.
Thanks!

Hi Selma,

Thank you very much for your work! We think it looks great! It was a
pleasure working with you!!!

Hi Konstantin,

I'm back with the updated design, I'm attaching the moodboard, floor plan, and adding some description.

Please note that I could find the exact picture of the sofa, ottomans and chairs (wood legs) so I’m attaching the look which could give a nice visualization. In the 3D I will show the exact look with the wood legs and ottoman/pillows pattern (Viland 349).

STYLE: It was a little bit hard to connect the sofa and fireplace but I was able to find items which support both styles (totally traditional rustic and contemporary).

You will notice a bit different style from the previous proposal, although the color scheme is the same.

Sofa is pretty much effective so I put simple effective design for the chandelier, coffee table and console table (contemporary style with a lot of rustic influence).

- Chandelier has the modern interpretation of the wagon wheel chandelier
- The coffee table (tabletop) has a rustic wood pattern
- Console table's contemporary design with rattan finish provides enough rustic and elegant vibe.

- I haven’t put end tables since the sofa design requires to stay as a freestanding piece (has a sculptural design)

Since the sofa and chairs design/lines are inspired by Louis/French style I think the previous rugs could fit nice, elegant silk, viscose. I added the new curtains.

In the dining area I added a little bolder look which could follow the living room. Also nice balance between the contemporary, rustic and elegant style.

COLORS: Creamy vibes with some medium brown (wood tone) and I would add just a little bit of black accent which would put more focus on the creamy atmosphere.

FINISHES: I added silver metal finish. (It will not be so much visible like on the moodboard, it will have a lot of reflection of other finishes). I think silver metal could give such a great accent, some contrast which could suit great.


Floor plan:

1 – SOFA

2 – CHAIRS – Just to check the dimensions (attached picture ‘chair dim’), which option have you chose, I guess the ‘’L’’ size but just to be sure (120x105 cm)

3 – OTTOMAN – Also to check about the ottoman size – which size is it (attached pic ‘’ottoman dim’’)

4 – COFFEE TABLE: https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/nakasa-burkett-2-piece-coffee-table-set-nksa1801.html?piid= I put the round table as the round table would blend with the sofa design. I put nesting tables (smaller table can stay under the larger table or pulled out – up to taste)

5 – CONSOLE TABLE: (back in stock in Sept) https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdx/60-console-table-w002333743.html

CHANDELIER: https://www.lightology.com/index.php?module=prod_detail&prod_id=54301&cat_id=11

AREA RUG: 10’x14’ beige, https://www.perigold.com/rugs/pdp/exquisite-rugs-sanctuary-hand-woven-silk-beige-area-rug-exqr1596.html

WALL MIRROR: https://www.uttermost.com/Rembrandt-Mirror-14456/?SelectedSKU=14456

TABLE LAMP: some glass addition to interior https://www.perigold.com/lighting/pdp/currey-company-atlantis-33-standard-lamp-burr1038.html?piid=

6 – DINING TABLE: https://www.etsy.com/listing/720719014/custom-order-for-rachana?ref=reviews I think this table would look amazing, and provide really great blending with everything else

7 – DINING CHAIR: I was looking for some interesting and simple chair which could suit the table and later I saw this Fama chair. I think this option could look great and follow really well the living room furniture and overall style. (Contemporary design with a slightly Louis style ) https://www.fama.es/mili-lalo-en I would go with the same upholstery Vicrory 56

CHANDELIER: https://www.lightology.com/index.php?module=prod_detail&prod_id=611335&cat_id=11 interesting linear sculptural piece

AREA RUG: 8’x10’ I kept the previous suggestion in ivory https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/textured-solid-rug-ivory/?pkey=call-rugs&isx=0.0

CURTAINS: Ivory https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/belgian-linen-pinch-pleat-drape-ivory/?pkey=ccurtains-drapes&isx=0.0 Slightly ‘heavier’ look, elegant and casual at once

WALL DECOR: I left the previous suggestion https://www.ballarddesigns.com/fresh-birch-art/decor-more/wall-art/all-art/399342?listIndex=41&uniqueId=399342 (when I place all the pieces in the 3D I will review should we keep it or to look for some other option)

Let me know what you think, would you like something to change. After I will add suggestions for the pillows (maybe to add 2 in darker accent color), add some table décor. I’ve started doing the 3D so after the feedback I can continue and in short time we can have everything ready for the final 3D look.

I look forward hearing your thoughts.
Thanks!

Hi Konstantin,

First I apologize so much for the delay, I'm having a terrible cold from last week. Good think there are no familiar Covid symptoms but again it's really ironic to struggle with fever in the middle of the summer, last time I had it was while I was a kid.

I'm working on the updated look and attaching it in very short time.


Meanwhile just to add a feedback on the dining tables - I think some of the options would look awesome in the space:

- https://www.etsy.com/listing/720719014/custom-order-for-rachana?ref=shop_home_active_72&frs=1&crt=1
- https://www.etsy.com/listing/786955681/custom-order-for-john-from-usa?ref=shop_home_active_29&frs=1&cns=1

- https://www.etsy.com/listing/844049992/custom-order-for-danielle-from-us?ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1

I will review which option(s) could work the best in updated design and existing space - I will be attaching updated design in short time.

Thanks!

Hi Konstantin,
Thanks for the feedback, I will review the suggestions, they are so beautiful, although a little bit too 'glamorous' for the interior but I will review all the suggestions in details and get back with the feedback on these tables.
Thanks!

Thank you, Selma. While we are waiting for the updated design, we wanted to
pick your brain on dining tables. Would something like the below work at
all (custom made, but not as busy as in the pictures - maybe dark legs and
dark resin?), or it is out-of-style for our place?

Great, thanks for the feedback. I will adjust the design based on these new options, review the blending with the rest of the suggestions.
I will be back in short time with updated design.
Thanks!

Hi Selma,

Thank you for your feedback.

Please find below all the options we got (the ottoman is from Astoria
collection)

As for colors: sofa and ottoman are 'Vicrory 56' color (found it here:
https://www.blafink.com/upholstery/Aquaclean/Victory-98/56-1408 ), while
ottoman is 'Viland 349' (
https://www.fama.es/pacific-en#Fabrics%20choice-gallery-4). The decorative
pillows for the sofa are also in 'Viland 349' to match the ottoman. And
yes, the sofa size is 263x104 cm. Thank you!


[image: image.png]

Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for the feedback.

It's great that you chose options which you could see and try on. I think the design is really nice, sleek and elegant. I personally like it very much.
It is a little bit more contemporary style for the space but it could work great, it has its own story.

Small spoiler is the fireplace as it has really rustic traditional look. If you are leaning toward more contemporary design perhaps it would be great to consider adapting the fireplace look, perhaps if not now, than sometimes later in future - let me know what you think.

I found these items:
SOFA - https://www.fama.es/pacific-en (I guess the dimension is this largest option 263x104 cm, right?)

ARMCHAIR - https://www.fama.es/astoria-armchair

OTTOMAN - is it the ottoman from the Pacific (sofa) collection

Could you let me know about the exact sofa/chair fabric and ottoman/pillow print, here are the options:
in section ''fabric choice'': https://www.fama.es/pacific-en, I'm also attaching the picture with all the fabrics.

I look forward hearing your thoughts so I could start working the 3D, incorporate other pieces and send a look for the dining area.

Thanks!

Hello Salma,

Sorry for the late response, we were trying to find something that we could see, sit on and like :) . We ended up buying a few pieces from Fama Living, as attached. The sofa and the chair are going to be in a very light beige color and both will have dark wooden legs (not like in the picture for sofa). We also bought the ottoman in a beige-print color that would match the decorative pillows for the sofa and the chair. We did like it in person and it was very comfortable and good quality. Please do not judge to strictly, as it might be a bit more modern, as you suggested earlier :) . Maybe we could now work around the overall design, having these pieces in mind.

As for the color of the wall, it is going to be a 'Classic Gray'. We are looking forward to the next step.

Thanks & Regards,
Konstantin

Hi Konstantin,

No problem :) thanks for the feedback.
The both chairs are great - I will review which option blends better with the rest of finishes and pieces.

Sofa: I will review which option fits better in the room.
I will start working the 3D scene and right away I will focus on the colors/fabrics (should keep the same tone, contrast with darker fabrics, different fabrics (adding velvet))

Could you let me know which color paint have you chose for the walls.

Concerning the quality - I only know for the quality of the Restoration Hardware. I'm familiar with the Moss Studio, Tandem Arbor work but I don't know anything about their products (I think it should be pretty good since it's made in US). If you are worried about the comfort, ideally would be to choose some model from the store which are near your location so you can try the sofa.
This Moss and Tandem Arbor are really great looking pieces and pretty affordable since it's online service, no showrooms - I think.

Let me know what you think - should we stick to these online option or perhaps choose some option with the showrooms near you.

Hello Selma,

Sorry for the late reply. This week was very busy for us. Thank you for
your feedback on our suggestions. We've decided to go with either the first
option ( Mercer and Crosby) or with the 108" Square Arm Sofa (
https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/moss-studio-108-square-arm-sofa-p000949930.html?piid=2051584358)
in
combination with maybe either these
https://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod13670206&categoryId=cat10210007
or
these
https://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod19150438&categoryId=cat10210007
chairs.
Which one of the two would you recommend?

Also, what color would you go with? Can we do the linen sofa and velvet
chairs for example? If yes, you mentioned the color of the chairs should be
slightly darker. Could you please advise on the combination of colors?

In addition, do you happen to know anything about the quality of the
products for those companies that we've chosen, particularly: moss studio,
restoration hardware, and tandem arbor. Please let us know.

Thank you!

Hi Konstantin,

Thank you very much for providing these suggestions, it's always so much helpful when clients add some options that they like.

I think mostly all options could work great.

SUGG 1) I agree about these first suggestions Mercer and Crosby - they would fit terrific. So sleek and contemporary and they would fit great in interior.

I think the combination of the same sofa and chairs could be great (same design, same color), specially as we are putting contemporary furniture into existing rustic interior. The seating bench/ottomans could be different in color and design.


_________________________________________________

// I would avoid these suggestions:
Sofa: too contemporary for the interor https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/lexington-shadow-play-99-square-arm-sofa-ltn4212.html?piid=27501393%2C27501466%2C27501679%2C27501569

Chairs: too contemporary for the interior https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/four-hands-grayson-armchair-p000528273.html

Too glamorous for the interior, specially the fireplace https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/caracole-classic-armchair-cces1489.html
https://www.houzz.com/products/velvet-swivel-accent-chair-ivory-prvw-vr~157035435 // _____________________________________________


These other suggestions could be matched
- going with pretty similar tone: if its not possible to match the same fabric (collection), than options which provides more colors and try to match it nice
- or perhaps some visible difference in tones (darker chairs) )

SUGG. 2) Moss Studio sofas are great, the 108" Square Arm Sofa (https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/moss-studio-108-square-arm-sofa-p000949930.html?piid=2051584358) can be a nice combination with the Sit a Spell Armchair (https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/caracole-classic-sit-a-spell-armchair-drru1389.html?piid=46794620%2C46794635) or with the Joli Armchair https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/bernhardt-joli-armchair-bht10747.html?piid=49048995%2C49048970

SUGG 3) Jaclyn 96" Round Arm Sofa (https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/moss-studio-jaclyn-96-round-arm-sofa-p000130588.html?piid=557853187%2C557854329 ) can be combined with the Joli Swivel Armchair ( https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/bernhardt-joli-swivel-armchair-bht10746.html?piid=49048930%2C49048926 )

In these sugg. 2,3 The third seating piece (ottomans or bench) could stay neutral.

Let me know what you think.

Hello Selma,

Thank you for your creative work. We do like the first layout the most as
well. We also like the tables, especially the coffee one as well as the
choice of pictures.

The only things that we are not really sure about are the sofa and the
style of the chairs for the living room. I'm including links for the stuff
that we like and we really want your professional opinion on them to see
what will go best with our style. In addition, we want to ask your opinion
on the color of the furniture. Do you think we should go with white or some
warm off while colors (cream, bone, beige, etc)? Is it better to get a
matching set for sofa and chairs, or maybe we could do chairs of a
slightly different color (still light, though) or even a fabric. (e,g.
linen sofa and velvet chairs). Links below are just to give you an idea
and if you could suggest anything similar it would be great, as well. Also,
wanted to ask how about discounts, say on Perigold site (i.e. does
decorilla provide some and if yes, how does it work?)

Thank you,

Konstantin, I'm attaching three layouts which could work the best in the space:

layout 1 - I think this could be the best option (inviting from the entrance, open to the fireplace).
Nice placement for conversation, guests, really elegant and neat layout. I think two ottomans (OT) could give a great dynamic;
( I've marked C-chair, S-sofa)

layout 2 - the layout from the proposal. I think the first option could provide a better look

layout 3 - some other type of suggestion. Large sectional seating, with new round table and accent chair. This would be more casual seating. The layout is more open to the the fireplace, but with much harder walking through the space

I look forward hearing your thoughts on this.
Thanks!

I will attach different seating positions but first here are the items I put in the proposal so you could let me know which options you like/dislike:

(1) sofa (105’’ W) https://www.potterybarn.com/products/big-sur-square-arm-upholstered-sofa-collection/?cm_src=rel
there are a few ivory/cream tones we could consider - let me know if you have any preferences concerning the type of fabric

(2) loveseat (https://www.potterybarn.com/products/big-sur-square-arm-upholstered-sofa-collection/?cm_src=rel ) or bench (if we go with the same color fabric for the sofa and chair, I would put some PB ottoman to match the fabric, such as https://www.potterybarn.com/products/sullivan-uph-ottoman/?pkey=cliving-room-benches&isx=0.1)

(3) coffee table https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/sarreid-ltd-muldrow-4-piece-coffee-table-set-p000721090.html

(4) chair https://www.potterybarn.com/products/ayden-slipcovered-swivel-rocker/?pkey=cchairs-ottomans&isx=0.0

(5) end table https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/faux-bone-square-side-table/?pkey=ccoffee-end-console-table&isx=0.0 the table is beautiful but expensive so let me know if we should find some other option

(6) console table https://www.crateandbarrel.com/echelon-console-table/s666958

(7) dining table https://www.sobusobu.com/products/leviathan-dining-table this is not our Decorilla store but it has such a great design

we can consider some more option (some other options I ran into https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdx/foundry-select-bryant-live-edge-dining-table-fnds2194.html?piid=25536627%2C25536626 , https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/mistana-lonan-dining-table-w003340800.html ) but definitely we will discuss about the wood tone, and texture that would match with the rustic flooring

(8) dining armchair I put the RH option but we can consider the chairs based on the dining table we choose (also to match the legs with the table top) https://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod18760009&categoryId=cat14820038

WINDOW TREATMENT: curtains in dining area
DÉCOR: We will focus on the décor after we choose the main pieces.
I put neutral abstract wall décor: https://www.uttermost.com/Mesmerize-Hand-Painted-Canvas-32276/?SelectedSKU=32276 , something more modern that woill go better with the ‘live edge’ table style such as https://www.ballarddesigns.com/fresh-birch-art/decor-more/wall-art/all-art/399342?listIndex=41&uniqueId=399342

I look forward to hear your thoughts on everything.
Thanks!

I'm attaching moodboard with these paints:

- The Classic Gray has an ideal tone on the moodboard.
Maybe a classic Gray could be a 'safe' option

- The Balboa Mist usually has more 'red' undertone but on your wall it seems to look as a nice greige tone.

- Gray owl could look nice

Let me know what you think

This is so great and super helpful.
I think these three last options are equally great:
- Balboa Mist could be a perfect choice here
- Classic Gray looks great as well (a little brighter)
Depends on your taste, would you prefer lighter walls

- Gray Owl third choice (also really great), slightly green undertone but could work great with cream color scheme

let me know what you think.

I will put these paints in the moodboard so you could get a visualization with furniture.

Good morning Selma,

Here is how they look under the daylight. What do you think about Balboa
mist and Classic gray in general?

Thanks,
Konstantin

Hi Selma,

Totally agree with you, grayish with a more beige undertone might look
better. We just painted some colors (attached), did not see it during the
daylight yet, will send it tomorrow.

Left to right:

Swiss coffee
Swiss coffee (repeated)
Classic gray
Balboa mist
Gray owl

Thanks,

Hi Konstantin,
Do you happen to know which color paint is currently on the walls?
It would be helpful in defining the dispersion. On the walls it looks pure gray (too contemporary), which is jumping out from the rustic vibe (flooring, fireplace, ceiling). I agree the grayish vibe would be nice, only more warmer - to blend better with the existing interior. I will prepare some greige tones.
I'm preparing layouts and all the suggestions from the proposal, I'm attaching everything in short time.
Thanks!

Great ideas, thank you Selma! We are going to try all of these.
They currently have grayish color which looks nice, that is why we wanted to explore something similar, but other colors you suggested look good as well.

I'm attaching a few suggestions with different undertones - I think it would be helpful to see the dispersion on the walls. Also the artificial lighting plays a huge roll so it's great to see these options at night.
What is the current color temperature, I guess the warm white ?

I'm attaching suggestions (attached picture ''samples'') - on the right side I put each option with a bit odd gray dispersion. I think this could be really helpful before we choose the tone.
- Swiss Coffee OC-45
- Classic Gray OC-23
- Gray Owl 2137-60
- Edgecomb Gray HC-173

I'm attaching the moodboard (picture 'paints') with color scheme that could fit nice (creamy, greige tones). Let me know if you would like a bit darker tone, or if you have some particular option you like.

After we see these samples on walls, we will know about the dispersion and the tone we want to achieve.

I look forward hearing your thoughts.
Thanks!

Hi Konstantin,
Thank you so much for choosing me, also for such kind words.
I apologize for the delay, I had no internet connection almost the whole day. In couple of minutes I'm adding a few different paint suggestions.
Thanks!

Good morning Selma,

As for the wall color, what exact color (Benjamine Moore) did you have in mind initially? Maybe we could could consider it as well and try it along side with "Gray Owl" ? We are going to BM today and can pick a few different ones.

Thank you,
Konstantin

Hello Selma, we would like to proceed with you, based on your initial design, level of details, professionalism and past work. Great job! Truly looking forward to working with you.

Perfect!
Thank you very much.
Best,
Liana

Hello Liana,

Please find a floor plan attached. Also, for 3D tour, you can go to Zillow and click on Photos and 3D option will be there as well (works both in browser and phone)

Thanks,
Konstantin

Hi Konstantin,

I couldn't access the 3d virtual tour, only the photos.
Would you have any floorplan or measurements of the room? That would be great.

Thank you,
Best,
Liana

Hi Konstantin,

Great inspirations, very bright and neutral looks, really helpful. Thanks for sharing.

The more we look at different styles, I think we like contemporary (cosy) more, something along these lines:

We also happen to like something like the below (i.e. contemporary style):

Hello Liana and Selma, please find below some of the general look and feel inspirations we liked. To reiterate, the main idea is to preserve the warmth and cosiness of the house and keep the open space. We are thinking about something transitional (neither too rustic, nor too modern).
