Every week brings us closer to consistently warmer days and the first signs of spring are showing up just about everywhere that you look. Our Lake of the Ozarks home interiors store knows how to bring some of that springtime beauty indoors and the following tips from John Elliott Interiors will help you to do just that.


Freshen It Up
The warmer weather is what inspires spring cleaning around the house. Now the windows can be opened wide after a season of keeping them closed to keep out the cold. The fresh air makes you want to freshen up everything else that has been cooped up inside.

While you are spring cleaning, do a clean sweep by taking an inventory of the furniture and home decor that you currently have on display. At the same time you are clearing out the clutter, go ahead and get rid of items you no longer enjoy or use on a regular basis. That may give you enough space to bring in something fresh and new from our home decor store at the Lake of the Ozarks. 


Liven It Up
Outside the grass is green again, the trees are blossoming, and lively shades of green are everywhere that you look along with colorful floral accents here and there. Display plants in different rooms to bring some of that magic indoors. You can also incorporate beautiful vases for freshly cut flowers from an outdoor garden or a local florist.

If you want to get the look without the worry of taking care of a plant, go faux instead. We have many different artificial arrangements at John Elliott Interiors that look perfectly real. Place them next to a scented candle with a spring aroma and you're all set. 


Lighten It Up
Now is the time to use lighter fabrics throughout your home. Curtains don't need to hold the cold out any longer and sheer panels will allow the sun to shine through. Bed linens and throws can also be traded out for lighter materials and throw pillows and other accents can be switched out for floral patterns or perhaps some lovely birds or butterflies.

Lighter colors will also bring the look and feel of spring inside your home. Hints of lavender, pastel pinks, sunny yellows, and soft blues do a wonderful job of mirroring what you see outside. Many of these colors can be used wonderfully together. After all, nature mixes colors and patterns, so take a cue from that expert and do the same yourself.


Change It Up
Some of you may be ready for an entire interior design makeover from our luxury furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks. If that's not the case, you can still get a newer look simply by rearranging what you've already got. (After you move it all around, you just might find some empty space for a brand new piece after all!)

This is an excellent time to change out your home decor pieces too. Trading out the pieces you have on display each season is an easy way to get a fresh look. This includes the art on your walls and while you're at it, put some springtime memories in your picture frames as well.


It's not hard to replicate the beauty of the outdoors and the happy, refreshing feeling spring brings with it inside your home. If you try a few of today's tips and still want to do something more, come into John Elliott Interiors in Lake Ozark and speak to our talented Lake of the Ozarks interior design experts. If you can imagine it, we can help you bring that look to life!

Whether you are redecorating a current room or creating a beautiful look for a brand new home, there are a few decisions that you should make before you even begin shopping. Knowing the answers before speaking to our Lake of the Ozarks interior designers can help us to better understand exactly what you are looking for. Then, together we can walk through the showroom at John Elliott Interiors and pick out the pieces that best bring your desired design to life.


What Are Your Likes?
This is probably the most obvious question that you most likely thought about already. Of course you want a room to be filled with things you like, but you need to narrow down what those things actually are. Take a look around rooms you currently live in and make notes about the items that you still enjoy. Some of these things you may want to bring into your new interior design and special pieces you absolutely love could even be the inspiration that the entire room can be designed around.

Also think about favorite colors, fabrics, and even hobbies you enjoy. These can point you in a wonderful creative direction. Look through interior design magazines and online at different types of rooms and take note of the things in each photo that catch your eye. 


What Are Your Dislikes?
This list can often be even more helpful than your list of likes. It will be especially helpful to us because it will narrow down the pieces from our Lake of the Ozarks home interiors store that we show to you. It will also make your search for the perfect pieces of furniture and home decor go much more quickly when you can skip the stuff you don't like and get straight to the things that will bring joy to your life as well as your interior design. 

How Will The Room Be Used?
A room's purpose should influence its design and the items that will be placed in it. For a home with young children, furniture will need to stand up to a lot of wear and tear and probably have as few sharp edges as possible. On the other hand, a room that doesn't get used as often and is reserved for entertaining guests can contain pieces that are a bit more elegant. A space where you spend a lot of time should be filled with comfortable furniture you love sitting on, while a home office can be cozy but not so "comfy" that you don't get your work done. Knowing exactly how a room will most often be used will greatly influence the pieces you put into it. 


How Should The Room Make You Feel?
The way a room looks and how it will be used are both important factors, but equally as important is the feeling you want to have while you are in that particular space. For example, a bedroom should be relaxing while a kitchen or dining room your family gathers in together often can give off a lively, fun feeling. Color plays a big part in this, so be aware of how different colors make you feel.

While researching interior designs in magazines, online, or while watching your favorite design show, pay close attention to the way different rooms make you feel. If it matches the way you would like to feel in that room in your own home, then you may have just found the inspiration you needed.


Are There Time Constraints?
If there is a deadline involved with this interior design project, that will influence the type of things that can be done. Be upfront with your interior designer about any time constraints, and be honest with yourself. A huge amount of stress is bound to happen if you try to do more than you have the time for. If you are short on time, you may be able to do some smaller projects now and save the big stuff until a later date. 


Answering these basic questions is a great way to get the interior design process started. Letting the experts at our luxury furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks help you take those answers and turn them into a beautiful living space is the next step. Visit John Elliott Interiors soon and explore the many fantastic possibilities. 

If you remember from the last two weeks of blogs, John Elliott Interiors has dedicated the month of January to focus on bringing balance, organization, creativity, and joy to your home. We have already covered bringing balance to your interior design and today our Lake of the Ozarks luxury home interiors store has a few organization tips to share. 


There's a very old saying that goes "A place for everything and everything in its place," which simply means that to stay well organized you should keep things in their correct positions. Not only does keeping your home organized make it look more beautiful, but you also get a good feeling walking into a room that is organized and tidy. Here are a few simple ways that you can get started. After a while organization will become a habit that you don't even have to think about. 


Designate a "Drop Spot"
A big culprit of an unorganized house is the stuff that gets "dumped" daily when you walk in the door. Sure, you're probably anxious to get home and relax at the end of a long day, but if you take a few seconds to put your things where they belong instead of dropping them on the coffee table or a chair, they'll be a lot easier to find later when you need them.

Designate a special place to keep paperwork, mail, keys, and other items that you carry into your home. This could also include jackets, kids' backpacks and homework, and anything else that will likely be going right back out the door the next day. A family calendar fits nicely here too. Once you have all of these things gathered together where they belong, they won't spill out into other areas of the home where you go to relax and socialize with the rest of the household. 


Buy Furniture with Storage
Most homes need more storage space than is built into the house's design. Look for furniture to fill your rooms that can be used to store your things. Even though the idea of these pieces is functionality, all of the choices from our luxury furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks are also gorgeous in addition to being useful!

Look for pieces that offer a variety of both open and enclosed storage areas, like an armoire with open or glass shelves on top and drawers on the bottom. This way you will have a place to display decorative items, collectibles, books, and more plus you will have space to hide things away that you don't necessarily want to show off but are needed in that room. 


Use Decorative Containers
You can also store items inside beautiful containers, like baskets or specialty boxes, and those decorative containers will help to bring beauty to a room's overall look displayed neatly on open shelves or placed strategically in a corner of the room. This is an excellent solution when you don't have space for more furniture but still need additional storage solutions. These are also useful for collecting out-of-place items. Once you have the time or the container is full, then you can carry it from room to room putting everything back where it belongs. 


Make Your Bed
Believe it or not, the simple task of making your bed every day is one of the easiest and most helpful organization tips. It will do wonders for motivating you to first, keep the rest of your bedroom tidied up, and eventually, that will inspire you to carry over that tidiness to the rest of the home. The good feeling you get at the end of the day when you walk into a beautiful bedroom to rest for the evening will be a feeling you want to have when you enter every room in your home.


The tips we've shared today are fairly simple to implement. When you get into the habit of keeping everything in the place you have designated for it, your time at home will be much more relaxing and enjoyable. As an added bonus, once everything is organized and in its place, you can see more easily which areas need a fresh look or new pieces from our luxury furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks!

Becoming an adult usually means that you are sharing your home with a spouse and possibly children. That may leave you longing for a space that you can have all to yourself. One that allows you to get away occasionally, enjoy some personal time, and focus on hobbies you enjoy. Today John Elliott Interiors has a few suggestions on how to create this personal getaway.


Man Caves & She Sheds
The room we are talking about is often referred to as a "man cave" or "she shed." This space should reflect you and the things you love to do most. It's where you will keep your hobbies and favorite things so they are ready and there for you when you have the time to enjoy them.

If you want to get completely away from the house, you can build a nice shed in the backyard. (These have been greatly upgraded from tool sheds of the past.) If this is the case, you will also want to work on the "curb appeal" of it as well. Your private space can also be a room inside the house, or possibly an entire floor if you have a basement or loft that isn't being used for another purpose. If you don't have to worry about others in the home running through and interrupting you, it will work!

Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you start thinking about the interior design of your personal man cave or she shed. 


How Will It Be Used?
What activity do you wish you had more time and space to do? This room could be a quiet place where you can escape into a good book or catch up on a pile of magazine subscriptions. You may be desiring a space where you can work on art or craft projects where you can leave your work out without worry of it being disturbed. This room could be where you set up a great sound system for watching movies or sporting events, or it could be where you enjoy playing games of your own like pool or poker.

Deciding exactly how you want to use this space will help you decide which pieces you will need from our luxury furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks to decorate it with. Function is key, but comfort is a priority too. If you will be installing a large item, such as a pool table, use that as a focal point and work the rest of the interior design in around that.


How Many Should It Hold?
Decide if this is an area that you want to use as your private getaway, all by yourself, or if you will use it to entertain friends. This will make a big difference in the amount of seating needed, as well as other items you will want to have on hand.

If you are the only person allowed, a giant comfy chair or a cozy chaise lounge or loveseat that you can spread out in can be perfect. For rooms where you'll be inviting others to join you, in addition to extra seating you may also want to have a bar area set up or maybe even a table you can all sit around.


Do You Have To Share It?
If space is limited, you may have to share your man cave or she shed with your spouse or roommate, or it may be a spare room that needs to be used for overnight guests occasionally. This can be done, even if you don't expect to use it for the same purpose. (The hardest part may be working out a schedule!)

In this case, make sure there are plenty of storage options so that your hobby items can be kept separately and also out of the way when the other person is using the room. Multifunctional pieces will go a long way in making sure you both have what you need in the room to accomplish your goals.


When you were a kid, if you were lucky enough to have a bedroom to yourself, it was a wonderful, private oasis where your personality shined. In a way, man caves and she sheds are the adult version of this.

Whether you are getting to set up your personal getaway in a fancy shed away from the house, a basement or loft, or a spare room in the home, our Lake of the Ozarks interior design specialists can make it work for you, turning it into an oasis you will truly enjoy. You should be able to find the perfect furniture and decorative items you need right here at John Elliott Interiors. Stop by and take a look around. It may be just the inspiration you've been looking for!

Fall is wonderful for spending time outdoors. It's not as hot as summer and not as cold as winter yet so some might say it's just right for getting outside and enjoying nature. John Elliott Interiors has a few ideas for you today that will encourage you to take advantage of the outside living area of your home before winter's cold chases you indoors.


Increase Outdoor Seating
The sheer beauty of summer turning into autumn is all around us as the leaves begin changing into a rainbow of glorious colors. You will be encouraged to spend more time outside enjoying the view if there is plenty of comfortable seating around your outdoor living space. If that space is limited, furniture that does "double-duty" is an excellent solution. Look for pieces that can have more than one purpose, like storage ottomans that also work as extra seating or can be used as a tabletop too.

Perform a Seasonal Makeover
Truly welcome the new season by switching out summery colors and patterns on your cushions and throw pillows for rich fall shades. Quality indoor/outdoor fabrics, like the kind we offer at our luxury furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks, can withstand the elements easily but look beautiful enough to belong indoors among your other home interiors. Add a few mums and pumpkins to finish the look and you've created a lovely fall escape that can take you through Halloween and Thanksgiving.


Dine Outdoors
Summer is great for grilling and picnics, but autumn is perfect for bringing your indoor meals outside and dining alfresco. The days and early evenings are pleasantly cool, unlike extremely hot days in the summer, and there are a lot fewer bugs to worry about crashing your party. If you have a covered outdoor space, you might even consider bringing an indoor dining table and chairs outside for a while. That is the perfect setting for throwing a few amazing fall dinner parties.

Increase Outdoor Lighting 
Sunset comes much earlier this time of year so you will want to make sure that you have proper lighting for spending evenings outside. Solar lights charge during the day and automatically come on at night, so you don't have to do a thing. String lights hung from a pergola make for a festive atmosphere. You can also find many portable lighting options that can be moved around easily to where you need them and stored away for the winter.

Stay Warm
Once the sun sets, autumn weather can get pretty chilly, but not so much so that you need to head indoors if you make arrangements to stay warm. Firepits and outdoor fireplaces not only provide that warmth, but they are also great gathering spots for hanging out with friends, toasting marshmallows, telling stories, and making memories. If you are not able to add a permanent fireplace or firepit to your yard, there are portable options that do the same job nicely. You might also consider storing a few cozy throws or blankets outside to warm you up both in the evenings and on those mornings when you feel like enjoying your cup of coffee outside.


When you make your outdoor living space look beautiful and feel comfortable and inviting, you are much more likely to spend some quality time out there, making good use of that wonderful space. Our interior design experts at the Lake of the Ozarks are equally as skilled at making the exterior "room" of your home look it's gorgeous best. Visit us at John Elliott Interiors in Lake Ozark soon and let us help you create an outdoor living area you can't wait to spend more time in while the weather is still perfect for it.

Every profession has its own terms that are used often, but unless it involves a hobby that you enjoy or something you deal with on a daily basis, many of those terms can sound like a foreign language to you. For example, our team of talented interior designers at the Lake of the Ozarks may use words that are unfamiliar to you when discussing your new look for a particular room.

Today John Elliott Interiors has definitions for 10 common design terms that you may run into. Some are easy to figure out and mean what you would expect, while others might need a bit of explanation as to how they relate to interior design.   


Contemporary
Rather than being one specific style of interior design, the word contemporary is attached to a style of the present time period. As time goes by, the style associated with this title will change.

Contrast
Contrast happens when unlike things of opposite natures are put together. In interior design, this can be done by using opposite textures like glass and wood, light and dark colors, and solids with patterns for a few examples.

Curated
When an interior designer uses their talent and expertise to create a collection of furnishings for a client, that collection is said to be curated. The pieces have been carefully put together to reflect a particular style or meaning as requested and sometimes has historical tie-ins.

Edited
This is a minimalized approach to the furnishings in a room. Everything is well thought out, organized, and has a distinct purpose, but done in a way that does not feel empty or cold.

Focal Point
This is an item in a room that immediately draws your eye, catches your attention, and generates interest. It can be a special piece of furniture, a fantastic piece of art, or an element of the room such as a fireplace or a large picture window. Generally, the rest of the design will be planned around the focal point.

Layered
This pertains to the many different layers in a room to be designed. From the flooring to the window treatments and art on the walls to the furniture itself and all of the accessories, each of these layers must work together to create a cohesive design.

Rhythm
This is the description used to explain the flow that the room design generates. The way that everything works together to urge your eyes to move around the room in a specific way, touching on one design element after another.

Tailored
This is an element that has been customized especially for a particular space. It could also be used to describe a room that has been customized to match specific wants and needs. 

Textured
This word is often used to describe the different fabrics, colors, and patterns used to decorate a room. All of those things give the space a tactile and visual appeal, giving it the look of being textured.

Well-Appointed
A room with this description is one that is designed with high-end furnishings and outstanding execution of interior design principles. This perfectly describes every room curated by the experts at John Elliott Interiors! We take your dreams and wishes for a particular room and turn it into a reality with our exquisite furniture, unique home accents, and beautiful wall art.


Now when you hear or read these terms while preparing to design a room in your home or office, they will make a lot more sense. If you ever have any questions at all when it comes to interior design, everyone at our luxury home furnishings store at the Lake of the Ozarks is happy to answer them and give you an explanation that is easy to understand.

Remodeling a room, or multiple rooms, in your home is not only a wonderful way to bring new life to it, but the changes can add value to the overall worth of the house too. A home renovation is dirty and noisy, and if you will be living there during the remodel, it will definitely disrupt the regular flow of your day to day life.

The thought of the finished product combined with some wonderful pieces from our luxury furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks may help you get through the process, but some careful planning ahead of time is the best way to truly get through it. John Elliott Interiors has a few tips for you today that should help you do that. 


Plan Before You Demo
Make as many arrangements for your remodel as possible before any work begins. Set appointments, work out a schedule with the contractor, and make sure the necessary items are ordered and on their way. If you wait until everything is "in the works" to make your calls, you may end up adding additional waiting time before everything can be finished.

Plan For Everday Life
If you will be living in the home while the renovation is happening, it is best to tackle just one project at a time. That way you still have the rest of the house to live in and try to do things as close to your normal schedule as possible. Depending on which room is being remodeled, you will need to make plans to move tasks you regularly do in that room to another one.

For example, during a kitchen remodel, you will want to move things you will need to use to a new makeshift "kitchen" area. A place where you can set up the microwave, toaster, a mini-fridge, etc... If it is a bathroom remodel, you will need to have access to another usable bathroom, and if there are a lot of people in the house, you may need to come up with a schedule for use. If the water will be turned off at any point, have lots of bottled water on hand.   

Plan to Keep Things Clean
There will be lots of debris as things get torn apart and removed, and even more construction dust settling over everything in its path. Speak with your contractor about making sure that all trash that can be removed is taken care of daily, and hang tarps in the doorways leading into the room being renovated to try to contain as much of the dust as possible.

Make sure that electronic equipment, furniture not in use, and other valuables are covered or even packed away if they will not be needed until everything is finished. Every evening you may want to give everything a quick sweep and wipe-down to better keep the mess under control. 

Plan for the Unexpected
No matter how many plans you make or how prepared you are, most likely something unexpected is going to happen to throw a wrench into those well-laid plans. The more flexible you are, the easier it will be to handle any surprises that may arise. Your budget should have enough set aside so that unforeseen expenses won't break the bank. Also, there's a very good chance that the expected timeline for finishing projects will run over schedule. If you expect that the remodel will take longer than planned, you will be ready and a little less disappointed if it does. 

Communication is Key
In addition to planning, good communication during the remodel is extremely important. Throughout this entire process, keep the lines of communication open with your contractor, as well as the other people living in the home. When you know what to expect from each other along the way, there will be fewer "surprises" that could drive you all crazy. The better you work together, the smoother the remodel will go.


There will very likely come a time when you will need to leave your home for a day or two. When that happens, plan to make a mini-vacation out of it. That will give you a refreshing break after all of the construction you have been living through.

Once the rooms are completed and brand new, head on over to John Elliott Interiors to find the home furnishings to dress up those gorgeous new rooms. Our Lake of the Ozarks interior design team can put the finishing touches on the new room you have long been waiting for. Then you can sit back, look around, and know that all of the "hassle" of the renovation was truly worth it. 

This week our Lake of the Ozarks luxury furniture store is going to take a look at the different versions of country-inspired interior designs. As with most general terms, there are a lot of different branches that stem from this look, and John Elliott Interiors will explain the differences between them for you in today's blog.


Country
There is more than one type of design considered "country," as you can see by the additional paragraphs below. For this first description, we are talking about a look that has a more handmade, simple quality about it. You will see lots of wood, handmade pottery, baskets, and possibly hand-forged metals.

There is an old-fashioned elegance in a country style. Often there is an extensive use of white wood paneling and soft floral patterns. Checked and striped fabrics also fit well into this type of design. Colors are often more muted, with an antique look to them. 

French Country
This style is heavily influenced by farmhouse inspiration. Warm, earthy colors are utilized, and heavy linens are incorporated like handmade quilts. This look, while still Country in style, uses more ornate designs on wooden furnishings. Ornate porcelain dishes are a wonderful addition too. You may also see materials used like stone and brick around the room. 

English Country
English Country has more of an obvious feminine influence. Lush rose patterns and lots of greens, reds, and blues will be used. This design also incorporates ornate, finely carved wooden furniture but adds overstuffed pieces with tufting, as well as skirted furniture. Lots of decorative antiques may be used to finish out the overall look.


Rustic
This particular style draws much of its inspiration from nature, using lots of raw and often unfinished elements such as wood and stone. Coming from the outdoors, the overall look often has a wonderful warmth to it. As for the room itself, vaulted ceilings, reclaimed wood flooring, and wooden beams offer the perfect setting for rustic-style home decor. 

Western 
This takes Rustic to an extreme with a rougher, more raw look. Very cowboy-inspired, worn leathers are perfect for this style, and those can be softened slightly with cozy plaid fabrics. Nature is also evident throughout this design, and the furniture is much larger in scale.


There is a quick explanation of the differences between these "Country" types of looks for your home. Our talented interior designers at the Lake of the Ozarks can go into more detail for you when you come into the John Elliott Interiors showroom to have a look around. Many different styles of interior design are represented in our showroom and we would love to help you discover the perfect one for each room in your home.

This week our John Elliott Interiors blog will take a closer look at a variety of "Modern" design styles. While the word "modern" describes something relating to the present or recent times. (A style with that description is actually called "Contemporary.,) the design style named "Modern" pertains to a look from a specific time period that just happens to have been given that name when it was created.

There are a few variations on this theme. If one of the following styles sounds intriguing to you, you can find the perfect pieces to fit that vision at our Lake of the Ozarks luxury home furnishings store.


Modern
A Modern design style is one that is rooted in minimalism. Very few accessories are needed for this look. It incorporates clean, streamlined furniture and architectural style. It is characterized by a neutral color palette and will have strong geometric shapes, sleek, crisp lines, and polished surfaces. Metal, glass, and steel elements will be included. 

Mid Century Modern
This term takes on the mid-century designation due to the fact that it originated in the mid-1900s. Coming straight out of the 50s and 60s, it was heavily influenced by Scandinavian designers and architects. The furniture is simple, functional, and uses natural or organic shapes. The simplicity of the designs often means that pieces are highly versatile and can complement many other design styles. Pops of deep colors like orange, yellow, olive green, and chocolate brown are common with this look.   

Urban Modern
An Urban Modern interior design gets its inspiration from modern designer lofts like you would see in big cities. The cosmopolitan environment inspires the fusion of opposing and complementary traits. The minimalist look of classic Modern design may reside next to ethnic heirlooms and edgy, contemporary home decor. The larger furniture pieces will be sleeker and more low-profile, but accessories full of creative expression will be paired with them.



These different types of Modern designs are just a few of the myriad of styles represented at our interior design store at the Lake of the Ozarks. Our showroom is full of all sorts of possibilities for your home. If you don't happen to find exactly what you are looking for while you are John Elliott Interiors, it's no problem at all for us to do a bit of searching and find it for you! Just let us know what you have in mind, and our talented designers will make your decorating dreams a reality. 

There are many different interior design styles, and their names will often give you a good idea of what that style will look like. Some, on the other hand, are not very self-explanatory if you aren't familiar with design terms. Over the next few weeks, our blogs will take a look at a few of the more popular interior design styles. That way, when you come into John Elliott Interiors in Lake Ozark to shop for your home's new look, you will have a better idea about where you want to begin looking.


We decided to begin with a popular lake area style. Many people flock to the Lake of the Ozarks for vacation every year due to their love of boating and the outdoors. Quite a few of those same people decide to make this beautiful spot in the Midwest their new home, or at least their second home.

Their love of the lake often inspires the desire to design a house that reflects that love for the water and everything surrounding it. The three following design styles are a wonderful way to achieve that. 

Nautical
A nautical interior design is warm, relaxing, and exudes an uplifting positivity. It brings everything that you love about boating indoors. Blue and white are primarily used, and accent colors of red or yellow look wonderful paired with them.

For decoration, items associated with being out on the water are perfect, such as shells, lanterns, paddles, and life preservers. Jute rope, like the type sailors would use, makes a wonderful accent decoration that adds texture to the design. Unfinished woods work well, and driftwood fits the style perfectly. Wall art depicting life on the water or a nautical map is a wonderful touch to add too.


Coastal
This type of style is inspired by an oceanside setting. The colors are light and airy, most often using cool neutral shades with blues and greens. This color scheme is pulled from the water, sand, and palm trees. Plush white furniture is popular, or possibly beige. Many of the same decorative elements can be used as with a nautical style. The room should give off a relaxed and comfortable feeling, like the feeling of laying on the beach during a long vacation.


Tropical
A tropical design style is also beach-inspired, but instead of the pastel tones of a coastal look, this one brings in the vibrant shades of deep green palm leaves and brightly colored tropical flowers. It is inspired by the beaches you would find in Hawaii, French Polynesia, and other tropical destinations. Prints used on rugs and upholstery are big and bold, and thatched or wicker furniture fits in perfectly with this look.


As we mentioned earlier, these types of design styles are popular in the lake area because there are so many people living here that are extremely fond of the "lake life." Our Lake of the Ozarks interior designers are experts at this type of style, but they are equally as impressive at multiple other design styles too. No matter what your personal style is, you are sure to find something to fit it perfectly in our luxury furniture store. Tell us what you love, and we will help you find it.
