Jan Smith, senior designer at LRM Interior Design, talks about the company’s talent for accessorizing those often-missed areas of the home, like a hallway or niche. Many times, it’s an area that the homeowner can’t seem to find anything to fill or fit the odd space.

The LRM Interior Design team has several sources to tap when we’re looking for those special and unique pieces that make the space complete. Some sources are local to Orange County, but many times LRMID’s designers need to access companies from other states or even countries for that perfect item.

Balance, proportion, rhythm, emphasis and unity are the design principles that LRMID uses when accessorizing. The end result should always look like every item was meant to be there. Or—even better—it looks like the pieces were made specially for that space.

LRM Interior Design can transform those dull, forgotten or ignored areas into areas that shine, full of interest and wonder.

Senior Designer Jan Smith was inspired by an article in House Beautiful this week.

Jan defines these elements and principles as: line, space, shape, balance, direction, repetition, texture, contrast, size, harmony, color, dominance, form and unity.
If there is a special occasion where a dynamic table setting is required, a professional interior designer can be consulted. They will be able to interpret your needs and create the exact mood you are looking for. (read the rest of this post…)
