Osmond Designs Design Consultant Chanelle Anderson

Design Consultant Chanelle Anderson loves creating decor arrangements and working with the discount designer furniture at Osmond Designs. Chanelle has been on our Osmond Designs team for almost a year. Chanelle started work at Osmond Designs as an intern from LDS Business College in the Interior Design Program and graduates from the program in April. 

A typical day for Chanelle includes creating decorative furniture arrangements on the showroom floor and assisting in creating decorative vignettes for the Osmond Designs Orem Designer Furniture Outlet, attending to customers, and working with other employees. Customers bring in pictures of their space and Chanelle will assist them with design ideas. Many customers come in and ask specifically for Chanelle.

A recent favorite Chanelle likes is the Industrial style and Restoration Hardware look. Her favorite design style is always changing and she loves anything and everything to do with design.

The more Chanelle works with design, the more new ideas come to Chanelle. Interior Design is Chanelle's favorite hobby. Chanelle did a project for the University of Utah Organic Chemistry Study Center. Her idea was the winning design idea. The study center was in need of a design make over. Chanelle spent a great deal of time with the students interviewing them on how the study space would function.

With a limited budget, Chanelle worked with the team to bring her winning idea to life! Combining the ideas of scientists and designers is not an easy task, but Chanelle and her team members pulled it off with flying colors.

Utah University Organic Chemistry Study Center AFTER

Red was a given because the Organic Chemistry Study Center is part of the University of Utah after all. Now that Chanelle's idea has been implemented, the study center is a much more appealing place. We appreciate Chanelle and all that she does here at Osmond Designs. When you come into the store be sure to say hello to Chanelle and to our other Design Consultants. We are happy to help you find the perfect decor for your room and the perfect discount designer furniture to create amazing decor for your home.

Designing With Pillows

Osmond Designs Garden Theme Pillows

Pillows like many accessories can make a big impact on a room. By adding color, personality, accent, and focal points to a room, pillows fill in decorating gaps and add that extra something that pulls a room together.With the huge variety of pillows on the market today, it's possible to get any look that's desired.

Let's start with an unaccented sofa from Osmond Designs. 

Osmond Designs Prelude Sofa in Champagne  # 41162

This Champagne colored sofa from Osmond Designs is neutral and the perfect backdrop for adding pillow accents to a room. A wide variety of colors, designs, patterns, and looks can be used on any neutral sofa to create a fabulous look.

With today's eclectic looks, all types of styles are used to create personalized decor in a room. Mix up decorating styles, design, and accents to create your own personal look. Gone are the days of matchy, matchy, decorating where one style is used on all decorating elements of a room.

Today's best American decor is a mix of styles, colors, textures, and expressions. Create a fresh look of your own using this decorating principle.

To begin adding pillows to your sofa, start with a basic foundation. Choose the colors that are desired to accent to the room. Here we start with a few basic pillows in the colors we have chosen.

Osmond Designs Prelude Sofa in Champagne  # 41162 with Dusty Ruffled Pillow, and Burlap Pillows # 8234

This color palette is comprised of very muted colors. They are soft, and very neutral in and of themselves. Although one can see a difference with these pillows added to our sofa, there isn't much personality to this combination so far.

Let's see if we can ramp up the look of this pillow combination.

Burlap Pillows # 8234,  Document Pillows # 46648, Dusty Ruffled Pillow

 By adding two more pillows in a Document print, this pillow combination now looks polished and finished. Now it has some personality.

Close up Dusty Ruffled Pillow and Document Pillows # 44936

This is a close up of the textures this pillow design creates. The ruffled pillow, document design pillows, and fresh burlap pillows add interest and a mix of pleasing textures to this look.

Another pillow design on our same Osmond Designs Prelude sofa in Champagne # 41162

By adding a few more pillows in a contrast color, and changing things up a bit, the look pops! The black ruffled pillows add that extra zing to this pillow design and the document pillow is showcased.

 Burlap Pillows # 8234,  Printed Pillows # 42136, Pillow # 41924 reversed.

Fun printed pillows and a melon colored pillow, change the look. Here the melon accent pillow is placed behind the printed pillows to add just a bit of color and a bit of the unexpected.

Green Pillows # 8231, and Printed Pillows # 41924

Green sherbert pillows combined with hot peach, melon, light aqua, and green print pillows on a white background, create a colorful more minimal look.

Green Pillows # 8231, and Printed Pillows # 41924 reversed.

Citrus pillows add eye catching appeal to this pillow design. By simple flipping the printed pillows over a new look is created. Try adding an accent pillow in the center that has a novelty print, shape, or whimsical feel to personalize this look and blend it with surrounding decor.

Green Pillows # 8231, and Document Pillows # 46648

Fresh green pillows and document pillows with brown and green print give a fresh feel to this pillow design.

The choices for pillow design are virtually endless. Come play with pillow combinations at one of our Osmond Design store locations. Our showroom designers are happy to help with pillow design ideas that will create the perfect look for your home or office.

Accessorizing a Room

A room isn't complete without well thought out accessories that add personality, color, texture, and visual appeal to a room. This show room at Osmond Designs combines wall art, lamps, pillows, throws, decorative ceramics, and other accessories to complete the room.

Fine Designer Furniture at a discount in our Osmond Designs Orem Outlet Store

A mix of interesting objects showcased on these shelves expresses the tastes and creativity of our talented showroom designer Chelsea Kasch.

Using each shelf to create a mini display is a fun way to decorate shelves and to express personal tastes.

This collection of accessories layered in a metal basket add depth and contrast to the light color of the furniture behind it. The clock echos the color, texture, and patina of the framed keys, while the glass hurricane domes filled with natural elements add just the right amount of light to this display. The nubby texture of the throw creates the perfect foil for the key laid across its edge.

*All furniture and accessories pictured are available at Osmond Designs Orem Outlet Store while supplies last.
This room was designed by Interior Designer Noelle Hansen.
