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 for your Entryway

Photo by Douglas Sheppard on Unsplash See these principles in action on our Houzz ideabook. Planning a new entryway or planning to redecorate/redesign your existing entryway? Below are some space planning principles to keep in mind for the entryways. In terms of rooms, the entryway, or foyer, gets easily overlooked, but it should be one of your first considerations. It’s needs to be both functional and fashionable: a place to enter the home from the outside on a day to day basis, a place to direct people to other areas of the home, and a place to give a first impression to guests. The front entry is where your front door is located and the back entry could be directly from a garage or could open onto a driveway (this entry could be the primary day to day entry of the home, depending upon it’s use). The back entry does not usually include sliding doors or french doors from a bedroom, living room, dining room, or kitchen; however, it may typically be included within a laun

How is Your Zoom Background?

There was an article on NPR that discussed a Twitter account that has been rating celebrity and politician room backgrounds on Zoom and other videoconferencing services.  So what does it take to be highly rated? See if you can spot some common themes in these highly rated rooms below (and the one above) which scored at least 7 out of 10 points. Did you spot some common themes? Here are our thoughts on those themes for a great background:  Good forward facing lighting so the person isn't in shadow. Artwork on the walls Greenery such as plants, flowers, etc Relative simplicity without too many distractions Cabinetry and/or bookshelves Some of these rooms could still be improved by turning on the accent lighting in the backgrounds of the rooms but overall, these are very pleasant backgrounds and great looking rooms. Well done! Now it's your turn: how is your Zoom background and is there anything you can do to make it a 10/10?

Why hire an interior designer? What's the cost?

Hint: the cost to hire and interior designer is generally more than this. Photo by NeONBRAND on Unsplash When do most people think about when hiring an interior designer? Aesthetic choices: paint colors for the wall; curtains, blinds, or shutters; a new sofa and rug; fabric patterns for pillows; and so on. But there's a lot more that a designer can add to a home. A professional designer can go beyond mere cosmetics to ensure that the whole room feels harmonious through and through, from the space plan (floor plan) to the finishing details to yes, fabric and wall color choices. The designer also deals with a whole host of stores, vendors, contractors, electricians, painters, other artists, and more depending upon the project. A good interior designer will take your needs, personality, tastes, and lifestyle into account, not just thrust their own style upon you and assume your needs for the project. A good interior designer will also take the time to build relationships and
