Interior Designer Lance Hatch, owner of Decorating Den Interiors of Fort Lauderdale, has a room design that was selected for inclusion for an online judging by people throughout the U.S. and Canada as part of an International Dream Room competition.
“If you enjoy looking through interior design magazines, this is for you,” says Lance Hatch, owner of Decorating Den Interiors in Fort Lauderdale. “You can be part of the online judging. Last year, we had more than 25,000 votes from around the world.”
The voting site is www.drvoting.decoratingden.com and is open from March 22 – April 13. There are before and after photos with brief descriptions of each makeover. The categories are: Bathrooms, bedrooms, children’s rooms, commercial, dining rooms, family rooms, home offices, kitchens, living rooms, window treatments, outdoor spaces and miscellaneous. Visitors to the site can vote in any or all of the categories.
“The room I designed is in the Family/Great Room category,” explained Hatch. “To showcase my client’s collection of colorful collectibles and wall art, I proposed a neutral gray palette with silver and gold accent colors. Furnishings include a light-gray upholstered sectional and a gray area rug with a silvery geometric design. A contemporary dining set with upholstered chairs and two custom, contemporary lounge chairs for a conversation area in front of a picture window – with a custom, coordinating cornice and a motorized roller shade – complete the modern look of my client’s renovated mid-century home. The client is thrilled with the end result.
“These are real rooms for real people with real budgets,” says Hatch. “This is a great opportunity for people to get some inspiration and ideas for a decorating project they’ve been considering for their own home. The three rooms with the highest number of votes will get People’s Choice Awards at our company’s national conference to be held in San Antonio in May. You’ll see some of these rooms in national magazines in the months ahead.”
The room makeovers have been designed and furnished by design professionals from Decorating Den Interiors, North America’s largest home furnishing and interior design franchise company.
