Testimonials

I cannot speak highly enough of interior designer Chris Givan and his firm. His impeccable taste and sense of design shine through in everything he does, making every project a palace!

Chris has helped me decorate two homes and my husband and I have been very pleased with the final results. He has a keen ability to listen to his clients, making them feel as though they are a part of the design process. Chris' patience and guidance helped us forge concepts that far exceeded our expectations. He gave our homes a style that made them look rich and complete while still retaining our individual personalities.

To say that I am a raving fan of Chris Givan is an understatement.

I’ve recently started a new interior design project in a beautiful gated community of Orange Hills in Orange County, California.  My client has asked that I begin the design for the family room, dining nook and kitchen so that they can move in as soon as possible.  I’ll continue designing the rest of this 7,000 square foot home once the main areas are designed.  I wanted to share the interior design project and some before photos, conceptual design ideas and the floor plan to journal my progress from beginning to end.  The family room is approximately 18′ x 29′ and the ceilings are 14′ high.  Decorating a large room can be a bit challenging and I need to make sure the scale of the furniture is not over powered by the oversized space.

The Design Concept

Transitional Interior Design - Family Room Mood Board

Family Room Mood Board

I’ve decided to go with an elegant and sophisticated design.  The furnishings are transitional in style with very clean lines.  The furniture pieces have an arched leg and the fabrics, rug and accessories have a circular theme.  My clients taste is very neutral…tone on tone.  So I’m keeping things neutral on the walls and introducing a pale blue to bring in some color.  The finishes on the furniture will be a medium brown and very clean with no distressing.

Family-Room-Bar-Area

Family Room Fireplace Wall

Family Room - Fireplace Wall

The walls are a ginger yellow and the floors are a polished cream marble.  I would like to add a grass wallcovering in the recessed squares on the ceiling and also on the fireplace wall.  I think this will help this large room with contrast, texture and giving it a more intimate and cozy feel.  The window treatments on the far wall are going to be tricky because of the size.  I’m thinking a very large motorized woven shade flanked by non-functioning drapery panels and a soft, box pleated valance in the same fabric as the side panels…a striped silk.  The blue rug will set the furniture off of the light colored marble floors and bring some color and softness to the space.

I’ll keep you updated on the progress of this interior design project.  I’m estimating 6-8 weeks to completion since most of the furniture is customized with sizes, fabrics and finishes.  What do you think of the interior design concept?  Do you have any special tips for decorating large rooms?  What interior design projects are you working on?  I’d love to hear from you!
