Artwork is an important part of interior design. Artwork has the ability to transform a room and solidify the overall feel and mood of a space. It's also a beautiful way to showcase the homeowners' personalities and add a personal touch to their home.

Recently, we had the pleasure of teaming up with Greenville-based builder Milestone Custom Homes and Verdae Development to help design an estate home located in The Manor at Hollingsworth Park here in Greenville, SC.

I used to look in magazines at images of beautiful homes with impeccable landscaping and perfect touches in every room and enjoy living vicariously through those pages. At no time did I really give much thought to the photographs themselves. I was too focused on the subject matter, the gorgeous sofa that had not a single pillow out of place, the to-die-for artwork hanging above the mantle, and that little touch of sunshine that hit the vase of flowers just right. Just perfect.

The master bedroom of any home should be a place that feels calming and soothing. A place where you can retreat from the busyness and hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Interior design is very similar to fashion. As in fashion where someone's choice of clothing is an expression of their creativity and individuality, the design and look of a home should also be a reflection of those that live there.
