Seattle Designer Wants to Catch the Interior Design Tour on Wheels
Monday, August 3rd, 2009As I browsed the internet I read about this tour. I wish this interior design inspiration was visiting Seattle but the map shows a Northeast tour. It’s a clever delivery of interior design applications for small spaces and how to create drama. Since it’s so small, it’s like a studio apartment or condo thus a great way to demonstate size, scale and proportion which helps to select furniture for small spaces.
HomeGoods is an off-price home fashions store, providing a tremendous selection of high quality, unique home fashions, including brand and designer name merchandise at prices that are 20 - 60% less than finer catalog, specialty and department store prices, every day. The parent company also owns T.J. Maxx and Marshalls.
To promote their company and mix of furnishings enter HomeGoods’ Mobile Design Home, an eco-friendly, 300-square-foot space. The house on wheels, which has been traveling along the East coast for several weeks, showcases a living room, kitchen, bedroom and sitting area that feature a mix of styles.
Spokeswoman Robyn Arvedon explained the living room was designed around the deep purple, bright pink and lime green colors in the throw pillows arrayed on a neutral-hued sofa. The neutral shade of the sofa is further offset by a fuchsia carpet and green and pink chairs. Exotic touches add interest in the form of colorful perfume bottles from India displayed on a circular table, an Asian garden stool and tables. “You don’t have to pigeonhole yourself into a color palette,” Ms. Arvedon explained. “The core of the theme here is to have fun.”
The HomeGoods’ team’s message, “no fear.” Decorate with color and use different styles. Seek an inspiration to get started and build on it. It’s all about making a personal statement.
