## Community Q&A

**Q: Redoing my husband's law office.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

My husband's office hasn't been touched in 10 years.  I would like to repaint walls and was thinking of blue (navy) and parchment.  I would need to change rugs, and chair colors.  What would you suggest for accent colors?  The floors are medium wood stained and his desk is also a medium brown.

A: Navy is fine, if that is one of your husband's favorite colors, but I would not paint all the walls that color, because it would be too dark.  Instead, use a rug that has some navy in it (solid navy shows more lint), and perhaps paint the bookcase navy. If the bookcase is stained wood, you can just create a navy background for the objects in it with paint, paper, or cloth.  I'd put your husband's clock collection in the bookcase, interspersing it with books. I'm having trouble attaching images to this reply, but my website, interiordesignsolutions.com, has several examples of how lovely that can look. You didn't ask about lighting, but indirect light is the best thing for someone working on a computer.  That means using an uplight like a torchiere to bounce light off of the ceiling, and using translucent window treatments (or horizontal blinds) that allow in soft, diffuse light but block glare.

**Q: I'm working on the whole house.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

My son bought us a house built in the 50's and everything needs redone. Small bathrooms w/no heat or a/c in them, small kitchen needs more storage, deck is old and wood is falling apart, paneling in one bedroom, plantings in yard are overgrown and need replaced, and I could go on and on.

A: I'm an interior designer with a particular focus on healthy, comfortable homes. Your top priority should be preventing mold, because once it's there, it's a real problem.  So preventing leaks, getting rid of plants that are too close to your home's foundation,  and dealing with the indoor climate (heating and air conditioning) are all much more important than how the place looks.

**Q: Is a tub recommended in mater bathroom if you have tub in 2nd bath.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Do I need bathtub in my master bathroom?  I am remodeling and have room but have heard tubs are being replaced with bigger showers as long as there is a tub in another bathroom.

A: Before you opt for no tub, you should check with a local realtor.  Tubs used to be important for resale value, but that might not be the case any more.

**Q: Need help to make accessible bathroom for my son** *(in Other)*

My son has is disabled and wheelchair bound! It's extremely difficult to get into our tiny bathroom! I would love to make it where he could go in there freely! He's 11 yrs ols

A: Grab bars are only as strong as whatever they're anchored to, so make sure that the contractor puts blocking in the walls (That's a good idea for any bathroom renovation, since most of us will have at least temporary problems with mobility at some time).  Another important safety issue is ensuring that the pipes beneath the sink are the plumbing beneath the sink are far enough away from your son's knees to prevent burns, and sheilded. You say the bath is tiny. I often enlarge kitchens (and sometimes baths) by "stealing" space from an adjoining room or closet.  Is that possible in your case? Perhaps the existing bathroom could function just house a toilet and sink, to give your son enough room to maneuver, and you can build a shower as close by that as feasible.

**Q: Need Help With Living Room Layout - getting all new furniture** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We are replacing our old carpet with hardwood floors and getting new furniture to update the room. But I am not sure how to layout the room. We have an entertainment center we can keep or move to the basement. We are thinking of getting 2 couches and a new TV to put above fireplace. But also considering keeping entertainment center upstairs, which would limit us to one couch and some chairs and/or Loveseat.  This also requires we have 2 focus points. To boot, we have an awkward half wall in the mix. 

Should we reduce to one focal point or try to manage to 2?  Can we put a a couch against the half wall? If we move the entertainment center and have the 2 matching couches, what should I put on the walls where the entertainment center used to be?

A: I have been an interior designer for many years, and if there is any chance at all that you will be moving before your new furniture wears out, avoid a sectional.  Sectionals that seem perfect in one home often either don't fit well or (because they are L-shaped) face in the wrong direction in the next one.  Use either a pair of sofas or a one sofa or and a pair of club chairs (preferably on swivel bases, if you're going to watch TV), and "float" them around the fireplace.  Either use an L-shaped layout (I'm having trouble uploading an example, but there's one in the Country House project on my profile), or parallel to each other (I'm going to upload a project with an example later today, Pre-war Apartment Renovation & Decoration). Both of these projects are already up on my company web site,
www.interiordesignsolutions.com or www.idsny.com

One of the easiest way to determine a furniture layout is to measure the room (including openings for windows and doors), measure any furniture you are considering using, and draw everything to scale.  You can use an inexpensive computer program or do it the old fashioned way, with a layout on graph paper and  cut-outs representing the furniture, done to scale that you move around on the layout.  And the very best way to see what would be most comfortable for you would be to move your existing furniture into the position(s) being suggested and try that out for a while. Then you'd know if  the entertainment unit is crowding the space too much.
