Big news here at Kati Curtis Design! We're thrilled to begin 2015 with a 14 page spread in Luxe Magazine Winter 2015 edition of our recently completed interior design project in Rumson, New Jersey. One of our favorite projects to date is this 6,000 square foot arts and crafts style home overlooking the Navesink river. It has 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and an adjacent boathouse that was a blast to design. Long time clients of KCD finally decided to leave the City for the burbs and called on us to re-imagine a tired, '90's style home into a bright, airy full time residence where their growing family could develop roots. We're so excited to finally get to share this stunning home with you all! More photos will be up on our site soon, but in the meantime you'll have to go out and grab a LUXE copy for yourself! xo, KC PS: If you've been thinking about bringing us on to design your dream home- now is the time! You can contact us here to schedule your consultation and we can get the process started. Thank you for following along with us, and we will see you next time! More photos of this project can be found on our portfolio pages. Related News: LUXE Magazine Gold List 2016 features Kati Curtis Design

"They are more willing to spend on top-quality, energy-efficient appliances and materials that look great, perform well and will last." Kate Talbott, a kitchen and bath designer at Millbrook Cabinetry and Design on Route 44 in Millbrook, said this year's trends lean toward big open rooms for dining and seating — the great room concept. Perhaps because of that, furniture styling is also of interest to homeowners. "Making things look like furniture … furniture legs on islands, furniture details on bases, making islands look like tables, things like that. It's definitely a popular look," she said. In cabinets, people are opting for painted wood rather than a natural oak or cherry wood stain. "White is incredibly popular for anyone doing paint," said Talbott, adding that a glaze on top of the standard white is a...
