Emerging


OVOLO Interiors is cautiously emerging from the shelter in place order to work on construction related activities per Santa Clara County's new Shelter In Place Order taking effect on May 4th, 2020. This new order mandates certain protocols and social distancing guidelines which we will be following so that we can continue to do our best to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of our company, clients, and community at large during these unprecedented times. 

Below is a reminder of the general guidance useful for everyone at this time:
  • Do not touch your face with unwashed hands or with gloves.
  • Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as countertops, handrails, handles, and doorknobs.
  • Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, or cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm at your elbow/sleeve.
  • Do not meet with others if you have a fever, cough, or other COVID-19 symptoms. If you feel sick, or have been exposed to anyone who is sick, stay at home.
  • Constantly observe your distances in relation to other people outside of your household; maintain the recommended minimum six feet distance at all times.
Below are some highlights of specific measures OVOLO Interiors will be taking for any construction related activities or meetings: 
  • Safety protocols will be reviewed with clients, contractors, etc at least a day before any meetings or site visits
  • Temperature checks and hand washing will be performed before any meetings or site visits
  • Upon arrival, hand sanitizer will be used, then a mask and gloves will be put on; finally, a meeting log of any attendees will be created before the meeting or site visit can begin.
  • A mask and gloves will be worn at all times when meeting with others; clients and contractors will be required to wear a mask as well and will be strongly encouraged to wear gloves.
  • All will be required to maintain a distance of 6 feet at all times
  • After meeting with others, hand sanitizer will be used, items used (such as pens, tools, etc) will be disinfected, and hand washing will take place upon arrival back to the office.
By following these guidelines and protocols, OVOLO Interiors can continue to work on client's construction related projects while continuing to do our best to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of our company, clients, and community at large.

Space Planning Principles to Live By

Photo by Sergey Zolkin on Unsplash Let's talk about space planning, which leads to the basic layout of a room. But first, it starts with an in-depth analysis of how the space is to be used, taking into account all who live in the home and even some visitors to the home. Rooms and spaces within rooms are zoned to account for different activities that take place in a space. For example, a large open-concept great room may have a zone for living (watching TV, reading a book, holding a casual conversation, etc) and a zone for dining (both day to day eating as well as dinner parties). Circulation zones that show how people will move through the space are defined in the space planning process; you don't want furniture to get in the way of people's expected movements. The space plan is finished by adding the furniture, decor, accessory, and artwork details. Some times, there are conflicts that need to be resolved during the space planning process. For example, perhaps a q...

Below are some space planning principles to keep in mind for this area of the home. Please note that these principles can also be applied to outdoor kitchens and cooking areas. The kitchen is considered by many to be the heart of the home. It's a place where people tend to gather, which is why many recently built or remodeled kitchens tend to favor open floor plans and expansive places to sit and/or stand. Kitchens should be both functional and fashionable: a place for you (and your family) as well as guests and visitors; it should be about the gatherings and conversations as much as about the cooking, snacking, and food storage. Here are a few space planning principles to keep in mind for the kitchen: Kitchens should have an efficient work triangle and optimal (and ideally non-overlappin...
