IMG_2867

When someone walks into your home the colors, patterns and furniture speak volumes to who you are as a person. Interior design is a reflection of yourself and continues to be one of the most fun ways to truly express your inner design diva. We’re so excited to show you some of the fresh and fun sofas we have in the showroom right now, and why we think they’re perfect for your home.

We love the classic slipcover sofa look. It works for both a chic living room aesthetic while also feels relaxed and casual with the right accessories. It brings a sense of comfort to a space with its soft back cushions and plush fabric, this sofa is perfect for a movie night at home with the family. The rounded arms feel more approachable than strong clean lines of a modern square arm sofa. We love the soft cream color and taupe detailing on the cushions too!

Another look we love is this mocha brown leather sectional! The soft lines feel casual yet chic. The larger a sofa, the more people can sit down and enjoy the living area together. For bigger families or those who love to entertain this is the perfect sofa. Leather looks and feels glamorous too! If you really want to up the ante for a durable yet timeless piece of luxury furniture.

Go a little more modern with a more streamlined sofa that has less rounded features. It feels a little more sophisticated than a classic slipcover sofa, which is perfect for a contemporary home aesthetic. The soft cream fabric still exudes an elegant look and feel while providing the extra modernity you might be looking for in a sofa. We paired two gold sofa pillows with it for a warmer look and feel. Dress up your sofa with more pillows and maybe a gorgeous throw blanket for added texture.

Picking the perfect sofa can be a challenge, but we’re to help choose a sofa that fits your needs and speaks to your personal style too!. We have so many styles on our showroom floor, and are happy to help you in finding the sofa of your dreams.

Interior Design Mistakes We’ve All Made

Designers often see homeowners make the same mistakes with home decor purchases, and it always ends up the same. Impulse buys turn into returns as the newfound treasure simply does not fit the style aesthetic of the home. So what went wrong? Interior design takes a keen eye and an insight to style. Elements such as lighting, placement, scale and size effect the look and feel of your space immensely. The most common mistakes made when designing a living room can make a break your space. Feeling comfortable while also achieving a luxury look and feel is why La Maison is here to help. From floor to ceiling we can help you create the perfect space you’ve always dreamed of for your luxury Scottsdale home.unnamed

Design with your personal style at the forefront. Taking a page from your favorite interior design magazine or a showroom setup can be misleading. We’re getting back to the basics of design to give you a foundation to create a space that fits your needs to get you closer to that dream home design. When you’re overwhelmed by color palettes, light fixtures, fabrics and luxury furniture it can be difficult to pick and choose what you really love and what you really hate. How is the large modern floral print pattern working with the gold accents of your sofa? Ask yourself questions you might not want to ask and don’t be afraid to scrap an idea if it just isn’t working. Instead of replicating a room’s look and feel draw inspiration from the items that grab your attention the most. Interior design mistakes happen, but with our savvy advice, we hope yours become far and few between!

IMG_2846Once you have chosen the wall color, decided on a design style and are happy with the direction start shopping for accent pieces. We love adding mirrors to a small space, or brightening up a room with little to no natural light with bright primary colors and bold patterns. Do not over do it on the accent pieces; be choosy and choose wisely. Avoid clutter in your space at all costs. If you like two pieces, use them interchangeably for added visual interest throughout the year. Layer accent pieces to create some depth. If you love to mix and match patterns and prints do so with your design smarts in mind. Luxury furniture is so much fun to shop for, especially at La Maison! We suggest sticking with a similar shape or silhouette to keep the look and feel cohesive to showcase a good flow throughout the space. An oversized leather sofa does not coincide well with a tailored and dainty arm chair peppered with embellishments. If you have a large space, arrange the furniture accordingly, and the same goes for a small space. Purchase luxury furniture that infuses your personal style too! If you absolutely love the way relaxed furniture looks choose fabric prints or patterns with the same look and feel.

There are always opportunities to evolve your personal interior design style. Experiment with various styles, colors and decor to get a feel for what you love most. Keep comfort and easy luxury in mind when choosing all the gorgeous pieces to fill your home with and of course our team of talented interior designers are here to guide you when you’re not sure where to go next. Interior design mistakes happen, but with our savvy advice, we hope yours become far and few between. La Maison has a multitude of furniture and accessories for your home, and we look forward to helping you design the home of your dreams.

A little bit of relief from the steamy summer months is on its way! Take a cue from the weather and cool off with style ideas we know you are going to love. La Maison designers are especially excited about this month’s new arrivals! Why? We’re obsessed with all that is luxurious, and we promise to keep comfort and versatility at the forefront of our style ideas.This month we’re bringing you timeless pieces to inspire a brand new look in your home.

FullSizeRender (18)Chairs are the basis of a room, the anchor to comfort if you will. We’re psyched about two sets of armchairs this month. Tailored for a luxurious look, the subtle detail in the design work shows off, while also exuding an effortless look and feel. Often associated with the classic choice for a gentlemen’s club, enhanced with velvet covered throw pillows, leather armchairs have become a common stylish option with clean lines that fit perfectly in any luxury home. What’s our suggestion? Try neutral colors to compliment a myriad of bold colors for a modern and masculine mood. The simplicity of these brown leather chairs add depth and sophistication with a touch of charm.

FullSizeRender (20)Regardless of the season, florals soften every space. Just a pinch of floral has the ability to transform a simple monochromatic look into a stylish pad that’s both elegant and contemporary. Floral stands out on its own, which means you don’t have to overdo it. We love these velvet lounge chairs! Both versatile and in a refined style, these chairs are modern and chic; similar to the leather chairs above, the neutral color base complements most color palettes. The right armchair has a specific shape and style. It exudes a mood or feeling and offers just the right amount of elegance to the living room or even in your bedroom. Consider how you can incorporate them with the rest of your interior, and of course, take time to sit in it because comfort is really number one here.

FullSizeRender (19)Coffee tables, wine tables, center tables.. we love tables! If it’s one item that can’t be overused because of its versatility. La Maison luxury furniture showroom has all the best items to kick of September the right way. Come in and see a gorgeous chrome colored coffee table; perfect for a romantic crisp aesthetic. Change up your home with a pop of color, and achieve a balance between beauty and function.
