Open & Designing: Moving forward in a difficult time

| Posted in Projects, Working Remotely

 

While gazing into my 2020 design trends crystal ball, I definitely did not see this coming! Warm woods, natural materials, and interesting lighting being used in interiors, yes. Meeting with clients virtually rather than physically in their homes, nope.

Working RemotelyFortunately, thanks to virtual technology, I can work remotely on your interior design projects. Planning and design are key elements in any renovation. Listening to your goals and understanding how you use your space helps me to design a space that works best for you and your family. While we are all safe at home realizing all the ways our spaces could be improved, it’s a good time to move forward on those long-imagined projects.

For the Love of Linen

| Posted in Fabric, Projects, Window Treatments

 

Textures. Patterns. Colors. Shapes. These are some of the essential components that go into creating an interesting living space.  What brings all of those elements together? Fabric. The fabric I love working with is linen. This natural fiber has great texture. It’s not sheer, but it allows light to filter through. Linen holds color in a way that other fabrics do not. I love the way linen looks and feels – in drapery, clothing, and bedding.

Diane Burcz Interiors | Newton Kitchen Stainless Steel & Cherry Project

New state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances from SubZero and Wolf became the springboard for introducing contemporary elements to an existing traditional West Newton kitchen. When my client’s refrigerator and dishwasher needed replacing, she seized the opportunity to make some transformative changes to her kitchen – adding a 48″ SubZero Pro refrigerator freezer with a glass insert in the door, a Wolf range, steam oven and warming drawer – all with stainless steel fronts to add some fresh, contemporary elements.

Dream Renovation Fixes Master Bath Challenges

| Posted in Projects
Diane Burcz Interiors | Newton Master Bedroom + Bath entrance

Old bathrooms, especially master baths, present some of the most challenging space puzzles. Think of fixture placement, storage and counter expanse, and circulation in and out of the bathroom. Sometimes the solution for designing a functional bathroom is to take space from an adjoining closet or bedroom. Often it means taking away a doorway or moving fixtures to a better location to create a dream bath for a client.

Here is how we repurposed the space within the same footprint in a Newton bathroom, just by creating a new layout.

Custom Ottoman

| Posted in Projects
Custom Ottoman by Diane Burcz

This custom ottoman was designed for a client with a contemporary aesthetic. The fabric is from Robert Allen and the weave of the fabric gives the neutral colors of gray and white dimension. The mushroom shape adds additional interest to a modern master bedroom seating area. We paired the ottoman with a Knoll womb settee. Another feature of the bedroom was a neutral Moroccan-style area rug. Finally, we added beautiful wooden lamps.

Design Solutions with Custom Furnishings 

Custom means that the size and fabric are just right for the client. The matching Knoll settee ottoman wasn’t a good fit for the space. The ottoman I designed solved a design dilemma by its versatility – it can be used as footrest with the settee but also as seating for a built-in desk. The room had a king-size bed so the mushroom shape seemed more conducive to circulating in the space. The ottoman was fabricated by Partners In Design, one of my favorite trade partners.
