Mid Atlantic

Mid Atlantic

Overview:

Mid Atlantic is a 6,000-square-foot residential interior décor project completed in 2023. The design process began in June 2021, with installation phases culminating in early 2023. The client, with whom the design team had previously collaborated, sought a full furnishings and accessories package for a newly acquired out-of-state home. The objective was to infuse vibrant color and personality into each room, transforming an empty property into a lively, jewel-toned retreat that reflected the client’s appreciation for distinctive décor.

Project Goals:

The primary aim was to furnish and decorate a new home that began as a blank canvas. With an unlimited budget, the client desired richly hued pieces, custom-designed elements, and an array of textures and finishes. The project involved selecting all-new furniture, decorative accessories, and lighting fixtures to create an inviting environment that balanced color, comfort, and style.

Design and Implementation:

  • Layout/Structural Changes:
    No significant structural alterations were made. A slight outdoor patio extension was undertaken by the client, influencing how the design team approached furnishings for the backyard space.
  • Materials and Finishes:
    High-quality upholstery and custom-designed rugs underscored the home’s unique character. Colorful textiles, handcrafted furniture, and carefully chosen lighting elements brought depth and interest to each area. Rich jewel tones defined the palette, setting a vibrant tone that contrasted with the home’s more traditional architectural leanings.
  • Key Elements:
    • Vibrant Color Palette: Jewel tones unified the design, ensuring a consistent mood throughout the home.
    • Custom-Designed Furnishings: Bespoke cabinetry, rugs, and select furniture pieces distinguished key spaces, such as the billiard room, office, and landing.
    • Integration of Smart Lighting: A Lutron system enabled the client to adjust lighting easily, creating different ambiances to suit various activities and times of day.

Challenges:

  • Remote Coordination:
    Managing the project from afar required clear communication and adaptability. Virtual presentations and regular updates ensured the client remained informed and involved, despite the distance.
  • Extended Timeline and Delays:
    Global supply chain constraints during the pandemic extended lead times and installation phases. The team addressed these delays with proactive communication and flexible scheduling.

Solutions:

  • Virtual Design Meetings:
    All selections and designs were finalized through remote consultations, drawing on previous positive experiences working with the client virtually.
  • Phased Installations:
    Executing the project in stages allowed for a smoother process despite longer lead times for custom pieces. The team managed expectations and adapted the timeline as needed.

Outcome:

The completed Mid Atlantic project stands as a testament to the power of color, texture, and tailored furnishings in transforming an empty home into a visually dynamic and welcoming space. The thoughtful integration of vibrant hues, custom-designed elements, and cutting-edge lighting controls achieved the client’s desired look and atmosphere. While the interior décor did not alter the home’s underlying structure, it undoubtedly reinvented the living experience.

Client Feedback and Satisfaction:

The client approved each selection and initially expressed enthusiasm for the results. Following the completion, no testimonials were provided for long-term reference. Nonetheless, the project’s execution demonstrates the design team’s capability to handle complex, out-of-state endeavors with creativity and dedication.

Documentation:

Extensive photographs showcase the richly appointed interiors. Before-and-after images, along with floor plans, highlight the dramatic difference brought about by a carefully curated interior design strategy.

Future Considerations:

Although no further collaboration with this client is expected, the Mid Atlantic project serves as an example of how a dedicated design team can deliver a layered, colorful aesthetic in challenging circumstances, offering inspiration for future clients who appreciate bold design choices.

The whole experience working with J.Fisher Interiors was excellent. My home looks amazing and there was a nice balance between brand new pieces and the vintage treasures that Jen was able to find. Unlike past experiences with designers, where my budget was ignored, she took great care in working within the budget and delivering a stunning space that I enjoy living in and get tons of compliments on…"

"Jennifer is helping us with a full remodel of our house. She has been instrumental in helping us with fixtures, colors, inside and out, our pool remodel, the entire project. She has been extremely professional, available, communicative and has really listened to our feedback and what we are looking for. She has kept our deadlines and budgets on track and really gives us a variety of options to consider. I am so thankful to have her, I do not know where we would be without her!"
Kristina Weiss
"Jennifer jumped in to do a project for our office, and we couldn't be happier with the level of professionalism and skill with which she operates. She got the job done in a timely manner, her pricing was reasonable, and now, our team has been enjoying the space so much more. I'd highly recommend her expertise to other companies or individuals looking to freshen up their space."

"As a recent divorcee, I rented a condo in a rush and it was a mess -- dark with an odd mixture of colors and styles. Jennifer worked quickly to completely transform the space using cost-effective options that made sense given that I might only be in the unit for one year. In addition to designing the space, she also served as a project manager for the work. She is very dedicated, works quickly and efficiently, and has a very professional and pleasant demeanor. She has a definite style and sensibility but also adapts well to her clients' tastes. I couldn't be happier with the result."
