A famous French designer once remarked that in order for a house to be successful, the objects in it must communicate with one another, respond and balance one another.
In other words, as our very own Chad Green will tell you – the design is in the details.
“I was inspired to become a designer because of my passion for the details that create the space and make a house a home,” says Chad, who brings a sharp eye for color and design plus over two decades of professional expertise to the Standard Paint & Flooring team.
Just as every customer has their own personality, so does every room. Chad says that while a home can be modern or classic in style, its unique character is truly defined by the details it contains – right down to the decorative objects.
“You’ll find me searching through Crate & Barrel, Cost Plus or local resale shops for those special, one-of-a-kind items that will express the personality of a space,” he says, adding that quite often, the homeowner already owns the perfect piece.
“I like discovering that one piece of art or furniture in a customer’s home that is a focal point – or a treasured heirloom or memento that means the most to them. We can then use accent colors to help bring out its beauty.”
Favorite colors to work with: I find that grays, blues and whites are universal in that they can be paired with just about anything.
My favorite place to find inspiration is: Design magazines.
Paint or wallpaper? Paint is not only more easily changed, it’s so versatile. You can create a light, airy room, or the illusion of a bigger space simply by choosing the right paint color.
My design superpower is: Customer service.
How I describe working in a family business: 1) Passion for customers, 2) Passion for employees and 3) Hometown feel.
The most rewarding part of my job is…: Receiving a letter, call or email from a happy client who is head over heels in love with how their finished project looks.The exterior of your home is subjected to all kinds of potentially damaging weather conditions. Both cold, dry days and sunny, humid days will have a lasting effect on the look and effectiveness of your exterior paint.
