Along with remodeling, moving into a new home can be a daunting decorating task. But it is one that is only getting more common.
With the housing boom happening in Loudoun County, Carolyn Ann Taylor, an interior designer with Waterford Interior Design and member of ASID, said half her clients are moving into new homes.
Kelly Stieff, an interior designer with Design Solutions and member of ASID, said she also has many clients in new homes. New homes usually mean decisions about what to do first.
“Most people don’t have the funds to do everything at first,” Stieff said.
The most common rooms to start with are the family room, breakfast room and master bedroom. Then come the living and dining rooms, Stieff said.
Many people moving into new homes are faced with the task of filling rooms much bigger than the rooms in their old houses, Stieff said. This has helped make big upholstered pieces more popular. Another challenge is getting the furniture people bring with them to work in a new house.
