MKD offers the professional knowledge and skills to lead you in all facets of your design project:
Furniture Selection and Design: MKD can help you choose the right furniture for your space, taking into account your desired style (contemporary design, shabby chic, etc.) and factors such as scale, purpose and budget. MKD is also able to pull from thousands of product lines to custom design furniture exactly to your liking, including fabrics, finishes and sizes.
Color Selection and Consultation: The right color can make or break a space. I am often asked, "What color should I paint my walls?" In home decorating, there is never an easy answer to this question, as many factors come into play. Want to go bold? Neutral? MKD has the knowledge to consider all of the factors in your home (and out) to assist you in picking out the perfect color,
Custom Drapery, Pillow and Bedding Design: Nothing adds warmth and depth to a room like the pattern and texture of fabric. MKD, with access to hundreds of thousands of designer fabrics, can create custom draperies, curtains, bedding, and pillows to the exact requirements of your space and in any style imaginable.
Space Planning: One of the most important aspects of a well designed space is how the space works and flows. How furniture is arranged and fits into the space, how surfaces are placed within proximity of seating, how traffic will flow through the space. . . all should be considered. This is especially important if considering a kitchen remodel, as the proximity of appliances and work surfaces is an important consideration in a well functioning kitchen.
Interior Architectural Design: This is what really sets a space apart and easily becomes a dramatic focal point in a room. A custom designed fireplace, built-ins, a dramatic stairway design, decorative wall and ceiling treatments such as wainscoting, coffers and beams. . . these are all architectural elements that MKD can design to fit your personal style while complimenting the architectural style of the home.
Designer Textiles and Rugs: Like many products, MKD has access to thousands of rugs, both locally and special order, that are perfect for any space. Hand knotted wool oriental rugs, modern geometrics, jute or even cow hide can all be incorporated into your custom designed space.
Artwork Consultation and Accessorizing: Nothing sets the tone or direction of a space like artwork. MKD has both local and national sources of original or reproduction pieces covering all genres, media and size. If you have an existing piece that you want to build off of, let MKD design the perfect space around it. And while artwork can set the tone, the right accessories (and number of them) can put the finishing, personal touches on a space that will reflect who you are.
Audio/Visual and IT Integration: Considering a home theater, in-wall speakers or motorized blinds? MKD will work with an integrated home entertainment and technology expert to incorporate all of your technology needs neatly into your space.
Lighting Design and Consultation: If you are building a new home or simply remodeling a bathroom, proper lighting and lighting placement is key. Let MKD design a lighting plan that works for the tasks that take place in each area of your home or office.
Finish Selection and Consultation: Let MKD assist you in choosing the finishes that work for your home and the way you live. Many variables come into play when choosing flooring, cabinetry, doors, tile, counter tops, etc., and MKD brings the professional design knowledge necessary to specify the right product for your life, while keeping everything cohesive for that designer look.
Fixture and Equipment Selection: Whether you are shooting for a modern design, tuscan or even French counrty, the right fixtures can make or break the look. MKD has a wide network of dealers to supply light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, appliances and decorative hardware.
Project Management: Too busy to oversee the remodel or update? Let MKD help. MKD offers project management services to oversee, inspect and coordinate the contractors and specialized labor required for your project.
Green Design: For the environmentally conscious client, MKD has access to thousands of "green," environmentally friendly products such as counter tops, furniture, fabrics, paint and even reclaimed wood flooring.
Universal/Aging in Place Design: This concept is one in which design choices are made with the consideration of any and all possible users of the space, regardless of age or physical condition.
