FAQ: Placing a TV over the Fireplace
Placing the tv over the fireplace is a design question that comes up almost weekly. Is it safe? Is it ideal for viewing? How does it all work together as the centerpiece for a room?
THE MIX: STEAMPUNK FOR NORMAL PEOPLE
Steampunk is a trend that involves the interaction of history, art, and technology—sometimes called retro-future. The often avant-garde style can seem so far out there for most of my clients. However, I do believe there are bits and pieces we can incorporate into our homes.
PLAYROOMS THAT ARE FUN AND FUNCTIONAL
Teen, child, and toddler rooms have been a standard for many years in homes with kids. Now they are a common request from the grandparents as well! At Kathy Corbet Interiors, we specialize in designing playrooms that visually please adults while sparking imagination in children.
INSTALLATIONS: CREATIVE COLLECTIONS
Some call it clutter; others call it collections. We love the unique items our clients collect. Finding creative ways to incorporate them into your decor adds character to your home, making it feel uniquely you.

If the available space for storage is not the most attractive location in your home, you can conceal the doors with panel details and carpentry. Here are some of our favorite storage hacks. We can help you get creative to find more storage solutions in your space.

New technology with fireplace inserts and innovations with non-combustible materials have allowed us to take fireplace design to a whole new level. Do you have fireplace envy? Are you ready for a cozy, warm fireplace in your home?
