On this project the couple bought a design. They wanted more seating and more greenery. They looked over a big pool in the complex and faced east so got bright morning sun. It felt very harsh up there on the third floor. One wall looked onto the blank stucco face of the neighboring building and reflected back a lot of light and heat. This seemed like a good place to add large planters. We all decided custom build planters with trellises would be the best. The design also included sourcing furniture and suggested a lay out and ideas they could implement as their budget allowed. I included lots of photographs and a color scheme with shades of blue to make the space feel cooler and go with the surrounding architecture. I found a great little hanging fountain and suggested some ceramic planters in shades of deep blue. I found sources for outdoor rugs that went with the accent pillows on the couch etc.
