If you’ve watched Divine Design’s Candice Olson in action, you’ll be familiar with her timeless, practical, and yes.. slightly irreverent style.
Here is a list of just a few of the brilliant ideas for design Candice Olson is famous for:
Assemble Your Own Sample Board
This could be a simple folder containing fabric swatches, photos of rooms designed to your liking that you can use as inspiration for your design projects, paint chips, sample bits, even small-scale hardware pieces such as drawer pulls. Check your Sample Board frequently to stay on target with your design plans and have it handy when shopping so you can make on-the-spot decisions in case you spot that perfect piecethat you need for your upcoming design projects.
Consider Re-Purposing Your Rooms
Here’s another great design idea Candice Olson-style: Take a fresh look at your home’s layout and envision uncovered potential. It’s possible in some cases that your living room could become the family den or vice-versa. If one room has a better layout or size for your specific needs, say if you need a bigger family room than a living room, you might consider swapping rooms.
Keep An Open Mind to Using Commercial or Industrial Products
It’s easy to get pigeon-holed into using strictly residential materials, but it’s possible in some cases commercial products may have a place in your design. In fact, they may suit your design look better. Keep an eye out for good-looking kitchen flooring, wall finishes or lighting that may look great both in commercial as well as residential settings.
You will see these great ideas executed by Candice Olson on her Divine Design TV episodes.
A room design by Candice Olson herself may not be within your reach at the moment, but certainly, her ideas as featured on Divine Design Candice Olson are available for you as inspiration in your next design project.
