I was sitting in the waiting room of a doctor’s office the other day, in the most elegant of surroundings. I realized just then that the ambiance the designers of the office had created, most probably was intended to put all the patients worries to rest. It was a cross between French elegance and modern Swedish decor, which could work for that rental property you’ve just signed the lease for 12 months or a refresh throughout your first condo or loft.  To express the concept of what I mean, I have added a few ideas from here Now, although all the information about the furniture/furnishing is listed here, you can personalize the decor with similar items you find locally. My favorites are Scandinavian Design stores, IKEA of course, and various antique stores just to name a few.
