Once all of our questions are answered, we work up floorplan options to review. After our clients select the floorplan that best suits them, we have a roadmap for the products we will be sourcing for their home.
In addition to creating a floorplan, we put together what we call the Design Vibe. This is what we have developed after listening to their goals and dreams then putting an aesthetic with visuals to convey it. We have found that when doing this, suddenly the light bulb turns on for clients. Often we hear remarks like, “That's exactly what I had in my head but could not find the words to describe it!” That kind of reaction ensures we can move to the next step in the design process without wasting any time or energy.
For Rhett and Lauren’s master bedroom, we had many discussions about how they wanted to use the space before working on the layout. Requests included taking advantage of the views to the lake, being able to enjoy the fire on cooler evenings, and storage for their books and magazines they like to read while on vacation. After much discussion we landed on the perfect layout for them. Keeping in mind that they wanted this to feel like a five-star resort, we created a seating area in the window alcove with chairs that swivel so they can enjoy the room or the view. We placed a king bed on the long wall to face the fireplace for cozy evenings in bed (gratefully, you can also see the view from the bed)! One of the things that really bother Rhett and Lauren about the existing room is the large rock fireplace. Lauren feels it’s too heavy and rustic for their style aesthetic. We’ll be addressing that challenge in our posts to come.
