Glass-front cabinetry can break up a solid wall of doors, create a place to display meaningful pieces, and introduce another layer of texture into the room.

Wood-Mode offers multiple glass options, allowing the cabinetry to feel more open, decorative, or architectural depending on the design. Waldron Designs can help you select an option that works with the room rather than simply filling it.

Which glass style would you choose?

Choosing a fireplace surround? Look beyond the material sample.

Stone, porcelain, brick, and metal each bring a different character to a room. Your choice also needs to work with the fireplace’s installation requirements, the surrounding architecture, and your maintenance preferences.

Our latest blog explains what to consider before selecting materials, including why the hearth, mantel, and adjacent cabinetry belong in the same design conversation.

Love your neighborhood, but running out of patience with your floor plan?

When the dining table doubles as an office and cooking dinner requires negotiating counter space, it’s easy to assume you need an addition. Sometimes you do. Sometimes the space you need is already there, just working against you.

Our latest blog explores how to decide between a home addition and a remodel, including what each option could solve and what to consider before committing.

Quality cabinetry shouldn’t stop at the door front.

Wood-Mode drawers feature dovetail joinery, a time-tested construction method recognized for its strength and craftsmanship. It’s a detail you’ll see every time you open a drawer and appreciate for years to come.

Before you remove a wall, consider what it’s doing for you.

An open kitchen can make hosting feel easier and help connect adjoining rooms. That same openness can also mean hearing the dishwasher from the sofa or seeing dinner cleanup long after you’ve finished eating.

Separate rooms offer their own comforts, and sometimes a wider doorway or a partially open layout provides exactly the connection a home needs.

Our latest blog explores open-concept vs. closed floor plans, with practical questions to help you decide which approach fits your household.

Beautiful homes depend on more than what you can see.

Behind every well-planned tile layout, specialized fixture, and carefully selected material is a network of product representatives who contribute years of technical knowledge to help us make the right decisions for each project.

These relationships also give our clients an important layer of protection. When a product arrives damaged, a part is missing, or a delay threatens the schedule, we have trusted people we can call who know the product and are invested in helping us solve the problem.

Our latest blog post explains why purchasing through a design firm’s established trade network is about far more than where an item is ordered. It protects the expertise behind the specification, the relationships supporting the project, and ultimately, your investment.

Cabinet doors take more wear than you might think, especially along the upper edge where hands make contact every day.

Wood-Mode offers a discreet metal top-edge protector that helps preserve the cabinet finish while adding a refined detail. It’s one of those practical design decisions that helps cabinetry continue looking good long after installation.

What does procurement actually mean in an interior design project?

It begins long before anything is ordered. Every product must support the design concept, meet our standards for health and material integrity, fit the space precisely, and work with the technical requirements of the project.

Then comes quoting, ordering, production monitoring, freight coordination, warehouse inspection, storage, delivery, and communication with the contractor. For custom and wholesale products, that process can span months and involve dozens of small details that determine whether the final installation works as intended.

In our latest blog, we explain what happens behind the scenes and how professional sourcing and procurement protect your home and your investment.
