  • The Power of the Consultation - Who, What, Where, When & Why, Why, Why

    The CONSULTATION , such a simple concept yet open to so much interpretation. Especially with design firms charging anywhere from four figures to the “free” Consultation, it’s hard to grasp what exactly to expect. Who? What? Where? When? And Why, Why, Why? In the mix of a thousand answers I would like to breakdown how Consultations work at Kerry F. Décor. WHO Everyone benefits from a Consultation. Home Owners wanting to tackle a remodel or refurbishment and any decorating or design should…

  • Wabi Sabi & Japandi ~ SUSHI ANYONE?

    If I asked my husband how he felt about Wabi Sabi or Japandi his mostly likely response would be “You know I’m not a big sushi fan. Is it on the Happy Hour menu?” Meaning if it’s under $5.00 he’ll try it. And if I responded “They’re not food, they’re Design Trends!” He would likely say “Why are you even having this conversation with me?” Sigh…. It’s no surprise that nature themes and elements keep showing up in all varieties of design. Light and white spaces are taking over and there is a h…

Here are some takeaways, mainly described in pictures…

  • A New Year Means Exciting New Design Trends!  What Is The Difference Between Trend and Fad?

    2023 spells new design trends. Let’s start by comparing trends vs fads. What is the difference? Basically shelf life. An Interior design fad lasts about 2 years while trends tend to arc in a 7 year cycle. In my humble opinion it’s what sets apart professional design and D.I.Y. Designers know what’s emerging with their private access ‘to the trade’ and shows like Las Vegas Market. A good Designer will have their pulse on what is about to break-out with exclusive access to it. When you sta…
