Style is defined as distinction, excellence, originality, and character in any form of artistic expression. Whether you are aware of it or not, you are surrounded by style. Your home is the ultimate expression of your personality, how you choose to live is a reflection of who you are and what’s important to you.
Good design embraces your unique sense of beauty, taste and personality. It doesn't matter if your house is big or small, in the city or in the country or what style of décor you prefer. What matters is that you take the time to create, a space that embraces the spirit of your home, and the essence of your true personality.
A wonderful way to experience different styles of décor and design are by visiting designer show houses. The New Jersey Designer Show House has many wonderful design and decorating ideas, from faux painting techniques, formal luxury and elegance to warm and welcoming spaces, the show house has something for everyone.
A home is many things, it's the way a room looks, the balance of color and light. It's the way the furnishings are arranged, and the objects we choose to surround ourselves with. Feng Shui seeks to create environments that are in balance with our individual sense of harmony and serenity. It is the practice of understanding how the energy, the feeling, in our living spaces affects the quality of our lives.
My favorite show house bedroom is the one designed by Susan Barbieri. Susan has created a calm retreat. A space that is comfortable, welcoming and refreshingly simple in comparison to some of the more ornately decorated bedrooms. From the walls to the floors, bedding and accessories, her combination of cream, taupe and rich wood tones embraces a sense of serenity and balance with a touch of eclecticism.
Susan’s show house bedroom not only looks good, it feels good. And that’s good Feng Shui!

Susan is a great designer who really figures out where people are and what they want. She listens, talks and takes the time to see what will make her clients proud of the home she creates,she makes the dream "the reality." Susan made my house finished. She understood my financial bounds and my dreams of a home to be proud of. She worked around my working schedule and showed up for all the appointments I couldn't stay home for. In all, she has great understanding, great taste, insight and a great understanding for making homes beatiful as well as a space that is very usable. Simply outstanding.
