“Leslie is very professional and has a keen design eye. She respects a clients’ budget and has access to great product sources at very fair pricing. She referred us to a fantastic contracting company that has been the best we have ever used on a large scale project as this was, which we are very grateful for. She has acted as an intermediary with the contractors, electricians, plumbers etc all allowing us as the homeowners to not have to spend as much time on this aspect of the cottage renovation. ⠀ ⠀ Leslie has made herself available at any time there has been the need to reconvene to make decisions at major junction points in the process. She has respected us as homeowners that are seasoned renovators that want to be involved and care about the details. She has collaborated with us bringing the project to its best outcome, which we love. Leslie has helped us create our Nest and has inspired us, evolving our cottage to a personal retreat that we love. ⠀ ⠀ Thank you Leslie!!!”⠀ ⠀ — Michele Rowland⠀ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⠀ ⠀ #TheInspirationNest⠀ 📲(289) 356 2086⠀ 📩 info@theinspirationnest.com

@MarieKondo Inspired Minimalism⠀ ⠀ "We need to rethink minimalism as not just a plain white box or cool ultramodern space, but as a concept that simultaneously showcases exceptional functional design while artistically creating a simplified way to live." - @freshome⠀ ⠀ Eliminating clutter and extraneous objects is also a hallmark of minimalist interior design. This simplicity allows the focus to remain on the room’s purpose and function, and on the beauty of its carefully selected furnishings.⠀ ⠀ 📲(289) 356 2086⠀ 📩 info@theinspirationnest.com⠀ ⠀ #TheInspirationNest

4 Common Design Mistakes To Avoid:⠀ ⠀ 1) Scale. When you enter into a room, it should be like a city scape…a combination of different heights. You never want everything in a room to be a the same level or the same size. Accomplish this with different heights/sizes in your furnishings, art placement and window treatments.⠀ ⠀ 2) Plan and measure. Before heading to the furniture showroom, it’s best to have a plan and a budget well-established. First, your rooms need to be measured. The furniture placement and size need be planned properly. Luckily, there are a lot of online room arrangement tools that are free and easy to use.⠀ ⠀ 3) Focal Point.⠀ Every room needs a focal point—it offers a place for the eye to rest and assigns a room with a function (Note: Larger rooms can have more than one focal point). This is a very common mistake—forgetting to give each room a purpose or point to focus on.⠀ ⠀ 4) Show Your Personality⠀ Your home should speak to who you are; it should be like a personal memoir of your trips, your loves, your life. There is nothing worse than walking into someones home to be greeted by beige walls, brown furniture and one mass-produced print on the wall, pretending to be art.⠀ ⠀ #TheInspirationNest 📲(289) 356 2086 ⠀⠀ 📧info@theinspirationnest.com⠀
4 Design Hacks for Small Spaces:⠀ ⠀ 1) A small space with small furniture can create lots of wasted space, don’t scale too big, but a proportion is key in making sure you strike the balance between maximizing the space without overcrowding it.⠀ ⠀ 2) If you want to add space and volume to a room then utilize its vertical space. Long pendant lights draw the eye up, creating the illusion of height and opening up your floor area.⠀ ⠀ 3) If your home interior has a tendency to feel dark and dingy, try adding mirrors near lamps and light fittings. They'll reflect the light and make your room look bigger and brighter.⠀ ⠀ 4) If your living room is a tight squeeze, make the most of your space with furniture that adapts to become whatever you need. From coffee tables that becoming dining tables to TV units that conceal dining sets, there's a whole host of convertible furnishings to choose from.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #TheInspirationNest⠀⠀ 📲(289) 356 2086 ⠀⠀ 📧info@theinspirationnest.com⠀
