Saturday in Union Sq.

: : after a nice hike in the Fells this past weekend, we stopped by to check out the .Grand design store. in Union Sq, .somerville. It opened about a year and a half ago, in a neighborhood where you wouldn't expect to find a hip design store. But the word is spreading quickly and more and more people are finding their way to Grand. Go check it out if you have time, they have a great collection of design pieces. Or shop their products online .here. Make a day out of it and stop at .Bloc 11. for lunch.

I May Have The Key, But The Door Is Still Too Small To Fit Through!!

This is a design issue that I dealt with the other day at work .....

The client had a small unused room in their home that they wanted to utilize as a

a very cozy TV / media room.

They had purchased a leather Natuzzi sectional. After waiting 6 months for the custom piece...

it would not fit in the room. No way, no how! They tried everything.

They explained that the door to the room was too small, and later.... after much probing,

they explained the hallway to the room had angles as well.

They were stuck with this custom sofa and were now forced to use it in the living room.

Which they did not want to do....but they didn't know what else to do with it. And now, they were forced to redecorate the living room too. ( boo hoo)

This was an expensive mistake for them!

As a designer I love stories like these.

Not that I wish people to make costly mistakes,

but it just makes sense to get professional help when making big design decisions and spending big bucks.

So, if you have a small doorway to the entrance to a room, and the hallway to the room has angles.........

I have a solution which that they were very happy with, and you might be too.....

MODULAR SEATING.

(love this sofa)

If you wish to, you can fill a room with seating....wall to wall with a modular sofa.

Alternatives to modulars sofas (which technically are individual seats added to one another to make a sectional)

are love seat sized ARMLESS sofas. You can add more pieces just be aware of the size. Don't go over 72" on the armless sofa.

If you absolutely need to have arms, you can add the corner pieces of the sectional..

*armless is easier to get into tight halls and small doorways. To get more ideas go here-

Have a great day! :)
