Part of our goal in designing homes, is to keep all family members happy. After all, we don't want parents to be happy and the children at work or school telling friends they don't like their parents new furniture. We certainly don't want the grandchildren at preschool complaining about Grandma and grandpa's new furniture. We need future clients too!

After completing the designs for the parents living room (see below), we turned our attention to the seven children and grandchildren and their needs. Of course a large screen t.v. and fireplace were the focal points of the room. Comfort was a priority, but good design also was key. No one wanted just a 'hang-out' room. Everyone still wanted something different and exciting.

When you shop at 'The Contemporary Couch', design ideas float around all the time until someone says, yes! We took a very comfortable, well made leather sectional and dressed it up by contrasting the arms only in a beautiful contemporary pattern velvet of taupe, cream and light blue. A shapely oval stone coffee table (for durability), and coordinating throws complete the sitting area.  A stunning window treatment done in threads of taupe, blue and magenta, accent the taupe leather sectional.

A custom made media center combining storage and display complete the room. Designed in a soft two tone taupe finish, durability was key for this 'family room'.

The entire family was over the house for a home cooked Thanksgiving dinner for 30, and everyone loved all the new furnishings. It's not easy to cook for 30, but it was a real pleasure to design for 30.

Remember the days when most businesses were family owned. When retailers took pride in their businesses, and always treated people with a personal touch. Before the big chains dominated the shopping experience. In the furniture business, all stores used to be family owned, before the Chinese imports, before creativity almost died, before the talent of creating a unique room design almost ended.

Almost. We are what every business used to be. Family owned, relying on one satisfied consumer telling another. Building a reputation of creativity, reliability, honesty. Our designs are so unique, so creative, you will be thrilled to finally meet people that will love your home as much as you do. Personal touch. Of all the places on earth that such a unique place would be, it's here in Carlstadt. We love it!

Four years ago Linda's house came out great and recommended Judy. Judy loved her new living room redone three years ago, so she recommended Lisa. Lisa (see before and after # 25) knows everyone. She recommended Lorraine. Two parents. Seven children. Grandchildren. A challenge.

After raising quite a beautiful family, it was time to take our contemporary furniture designs and give these wonderful people an elegant living room. Extended sectional (everyone needs a seat) upholstered in a rich transitional print, and wrapped in a luxurious microfiber. There is a misconception that contemporary furniture is square and straight lined. Look at the shape of this sectional; The back and the arms are all rounded.

The chaise on the end is beautiful. Shapely and dramatic coffee table, end table and console are finished in silver leaf. Two slipper chairs in a coordinating cover, and a 'Pia' custom area rug complete the room.
