Brands We Love
Every project is unique, and we are thankful to have so many options from vendors that focus on Senior Living Design.
Here are just a few of our favorites.
Flexibility
Oftentimes the common spaces in senior living communities are used for multiple functions, so the furnishings can be easily moved around.
Furniture is sometimes brought in from other rooms/areas, so providing continuity of design with style and color ensures that nothing looks out of place when larger functions are being held.
Style Guide
Our goal with any style or aesthetic is to create a space that makes residents feel comfortable and at home. Some of our clients prefer traditional style furnishings, others favor a more contemporary look, and everything in between.
Geographical location often informs style and finish. For example, furniture in Texas may have metal details like rivets or nailhead trim and stained wood tones with some distressing to convey a rustic style. In Florida, furnishings with details like caning and lighter wood tones or painted finishes provide a coastal look.
