Sofa Statement!

Did you know it only takes 5 to 15 seconds for someone to form a first impression? I learned this while doing research and training for the staging services offered through Robin Bond Interiors. When it comes to your home, there are a number of influences that subconsciously play a roll in forming one's impression - especially your interior decor! The sofa is most commonly the largest piece of furniture in the living room. Distract your visitors from forming a negative impression by 'wowing' them with a statement piece! Ideally, residential interior spaces should have the ability to speak for the client - one's style and personality should be displayed through their decor. Why not make a statement? Kravet is a product line available through Robin Bond Interiors which offers furniture, accessories, fabrics, trimmings, rugs, and more! Like Robin Bond Interiors, Kravet specializes in 'style, luxury and exceptional design.'
Kravet's Delta Sofa is a perfect example of a statement piece. The majority of people struggle with the concept of contemporary design, assuming it is too 'funky', non-functional, or uncomfortable. The Delta Sofa is perfect for the client that enjoys a 'transitional' style - a mix of contemporary and traditional. This modest sofa catches your eye because of the interesting shape and straight, clean lines. Leave the existing fabric for a fresh look, or add a custom material to give it your own spin!
Wouldn't you say 'wow' if you walked into a room and spotted this sofa? Want to find out more about Kravet? Contact Robin Bond Interiors! Design the life you love!

Travis Country Master Bedroom http://ping.fm/Fkw8K

Travis Country Master Bedroom

We are pleased to share some recent photos of a lovely master bedroom project just completed by Robin Bond for one of our long time clients in Travis Country. This beautiful black and white bedroom features custom drapery with complimentary custom bedding. We recovered the side chairs to work well with the other fabrics. All of the lighting and accessories in the room are from various companies our firm represents. The photo over the bed is a black and white tree photo taken by our client’s friend from church. Touches of custom floral work by our floral designer Michele finish off the look. This room photography is by photographer Johnny Stevens.
