Exciting New Fabrics

I recently met with the representative for Cowtan & Tout, Manuel Canovas, Romo, and Villa Nova.  These four brands carry high quality fabrics, and I had the opportunity to view their most recent collections!

Cowtan & Tout's new collection is very impressive, particularly because of the double width sheers.  Instead of the standard 54 inches, they are 102 to 118 inches wide.  The width is great for wide windows, and also provides the option of railroading the fabric in spaces with high ceilings.  I snapped a few pictures of some of my favorites from the event:

Cowtan & Tout double-width sheers

"Empire Stripe" cut velvet

Vibrant faux bois patterns

 The Cowtan & Tout website also features some beautiful pictures from their Cowtan 2013 Collection:

Manuel Canovas, a brand of Cowtan & Tout, recently debuted their 50th Anniversary Collection.  Manuel Canovas fabrics are known for their unique prints and vibrant colors.  Using vibrant fabric is a great way to incorporate color into your design.  Here are some beautiful prints from the new Manuel Canovas collection:

Manuel Canovas "Samira" in rose indien

Manuel Canovas "Parfum D'ete" in bleu canard

Manuel Canovas "Hisar" in parme

Villa Nova is featuring 7 new fabric collections.  My favorite is the Camberley Collection of washable jacquard weaves.  Because these fabrics are washable, they are a great option for households with children or pets:

The Camberley Collection features 3 prints, all available in a range of 22 colors.  Visit their website for more details.

I am very excited to use these new products with my clients!  Updating drapery and upholstery with new fabric is a quick and easy way to transform a space.  If you need help making fabric selections, contact me at rosa@rosadestinteriors.com.  

The holiday season is just around the corner, so orders must be placed in the next few weeks to ensure that they are ready for holiday parties and family gatherings!

Make your house memorable

Are you thinking of moving or downsizing?

Don't wait until the last minute to consider making the changes your house needs to get the most out of your biggest investment. 

According to Pat Riley, COO of Allen Tate Realty,
               "Now more than ever your house has  to be memorable".

What exactly does that mean?
It means that when a potential buyer enters your house, your house has to speak to them.  They have to be able to envision themselves living in that house.

How do you make it memorable?

                                       Accentuate the Positive and Eliminate the Negative!

Think about the best feature in your house and make sure that it looks fabulous.  Is it the kitchen, the master bath, the condition of the house, the floor plan that sings?

The buyer is in the drivers seat and simply wants to move into a house that is ready. Most buyers do not want to have to put any work into updating a house.

So even if selling your home is a future consideration, start planning early and enjoy the changes until the time is right.
We at Rosa Dest Interiors can help you make the changes that will make your house memorable.

ThermaSol Residential Spas!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to a presentation for ThermaSol Superior Steamshower Systems at Ferguson Bath & Kitchen Gallery here in Charlotte!  These innovative steam showers turn an ordinary bathroom into a luxury spa.  The ThermaSol spa engages all of the senses using chromatherapy, hydrotherapy, and aromatherapy to create a unique experience.  This steam technology has many benefits including detoxification, stress relief, skin rejuvenation, muscle relaxation, better sleep, respiratory health, and overall wellness.

Besides the health and wellness benefits, ThermaSol is an industry leader due to their lifetime warranty, and their patented Fast Start and Whisper Quiet technologies, among other things.

ThermaSol Steam Showers can be incorporated into any conventional shower, and the control panel can be matched to the existing finishes of your fixtures and shower head, regardless of the brand.

ThermaSol Steam Showers use bluetooth technology and can be controlled from your tablet or smartphone, which allows you to access your music library, power the system on or off, and adjust settings remotely using an app.

ThermaSol's "Solitude" App allows users to control the system from their tablet or smartphone.

Keep in mind that converting your master bathroom into a luxury spa will increase the resale value of your home!  The video below explains the value of a residential steam shower:

Through the Home: Foyers

The foyer of a home is the first room seen when entering, and the last when exiting.  As the room that holds the first and last impression for guests, it is important to give the design of your foyer proper attention.  A well designed foyer is not only ascetically pleasing, but also functional and welcoming.  The foyer pictured below is a great example of just that.

Mary Evelyn McKee

Why this foyer works:  The high ceilings and arched doorway provide a beautiful frame for the natural light streaming in.  Also, the hardware on the doors adds elegance, and the beautiful parquet wood floor creates depth.  While it is clear that this space is ascetically pleasing, it is also important to notice that it is very functional.  Placing chairs in the foyer creates a very welcoming atmosphere, while the mirror above the console allows homeowners or guests to check their appearance as they enter or exit the home.

Foyers are often neglected or overlooked, but with the right design, this tricky space can be transformed into a beautiful and functional part of your home!  If you need help designing your foyer, contact me at rosa@rosadestinteriors.com for a consultation!
