ELEMENTAL STYLE
Salon design for every taste, from clean and contemporary to ecologically friendly
Whether you're interested in designing your salon in a style that's traditional and elegant, chic and modern or rustic and comfortable, salon furniture manufacturers can offer full-service assistance, helping you achieve exactly the atmosphere you're looking for. The first step is finding inspiration. "I always suggest to clients that they gather ideas from magazines, photographs, art, nature and places they have been to, so they can convey their likes and dislikes of colors, materials, shapes, forms and function, as well as the feelings they would like their space to evoke," says Theresa Ciarlone, ASID, IIDA, who is a sales and design consultant and interior designer for Belvedere, manufacturer of the Belvedere and Welonda International lines of salon furniture.

Once salon owners have settled on the overall theme or mood they want to project, Takara Belmont's Andrea Egan, design director at the company's Boston showroom, recommends thinking carefully about which materials to use. "Materials with varied textures, like glass, grasses and wood, each lend a different feeling that could produce a look that's either slick or more rustic," she says. Choosing an appropriate color palette is equally important. For a customer who wanted a salon that reflected her Middle Eastern heritage, for example, Egan suggested a warm color palette reminiscent of that area's dry, sunny climate.
