Housing Works Fund Raiser features Ballard Designs Products
The Annual Design on a Dime Housing Works fundraising event was held in New York City, May 2010. We are pleased to show you one of the room vignettes designed by Kim Hull Interiors. What a fresh, bright approach filled with a kaleidoscope of color and texture that excites the eye. We love our Sawhorse Desk and Seagrove Sideboard paired with contemporary accents making each piece a part of a bold design statement.
Too much going on here.
Not too much going on for the photo op, but maybe for real living. The “pops” of color are fantastic!
There is no place for the eye to land-my eyes just roamed the room restlessly. Too many colors (is this for a teenager? Even so, kids are more sophisticated these days) Too many accessories and furniture-take out sideboard, flower pots, shelf above desk and use smaller solid color lamps. Use a little side table for next to green chair. How about limiting colors to yellow and black with a pop of pink for fun. How about a metal lantern for ceiling fixture or maybe ceiling fan. For me it’s more fun to edit than to start with a basic room.
I am one for the unusual….when a decorator shows his or her command of color and can put it together
In a creative manner I’m am all for it!! Hey decor team keep doing what you do best…:)
I would leave out the extra chair and table. Other than that, I think the room is a lot of fun for a young adult
How fun. My pre-teen would LOVE this room. We love color, (and prints) and this was put together bueatifully! It also looks pretty funcitonal for ths size – lots of storage and room for doing homework, sleeping, sitting, etc. Nice job.
My granddaughter loves the room, except she could do without the huge floral pieces.
if this is an craft room, i am with you.
How FUN. This room makes me laugh (with delight)!
If I were to change this room, I’d nix the animal-print rug, the flower arrangements & the sideboard. (I love the look of the sideboard, just not in this particular room.) I’d opt for a wooden cubbie-style furniture piece, with a couple of deep drawers beneath the cubbies. Some colorful storage boxes or baskets could be useful in the cubbies and I’d use handles on the drawers to add another small pop of one of the room’s accent colors. (Just a note, for safety, I prefer non-clothescatching handles over knobs for any use below counter- or waist-height.) Does this room have a dresser and or a mirror? Most kids need those items and most kids can use any additional storage which can be provided to them. I’d prefer a crisp, white wooden frame around the memo board over the desk. Tasklighting on the desk could replace at least some of the little pink items on the desktop. (I see a tiny lampshade in the desk area, but it couldn’t possibly be very functional if this were to be a useful workspace.) I’d add texture by including a white, wicker wastebasket beneath it and perhaps include a matching hamper in the closet to encourage good habits. I really like the chair. I agree the chair ought to have a tiny side table and perhaps a reading light, since this appears to be a room for a teen or pre-teen. It would tie the chair in with the room more if the smallest bed pillows were replaced with ones in the same fabric as the chair. The others disappear into the comforter of the same fabric. Finally, I wonder if those cute nightstands offer a drawer or any kind of storage. I really cannot tell from the picture, but again, I believe most kids need every piece of furniture in their environment to offer some kind of storage potential.
Too busy, too much. Flower pots, chairs need to go and then it would be fabulous.
