  • Discover Your Design Style

Not Sure What Your Design Style Is?

Let’s discover it.

Maybe you know exactly what you like when you see it, but if someone asks what your decorating style is, you’re not quite sure how to answer.

You might like an old piece of furniture in one room, a modern lamp in another, colorful artwork, vintage accessories, or something completely unexpected. That doesn’t mean you have bad taste or that your home has to fit neatly into one decorating category.

In fact, some of the most interesting homes don’t.

PHOTO: Several very different room styles at Then Is Now

Then Is Now was created around the idea that different people are drawn to different things. As you explore our rooms, you may discover colors, furniture, artwork, objects, and combinations that suddenly make you think:

“I love that.”

That’s where discovering your personal style begins.

PHOTO: Customer looking around one of the themed rooms

Here’s the plan:

1. We talk about your home, your interests, and the things you’re naturally drawn to.

2. We look at examples, colors, furniture, artwork, and different design styles.

3. We help you identify the common threads in the things you like.

4. We begin developing a clearer picture of what makes a space feel like you.

5. You leave with a better understanding of your own personal design style.

You don’t have to fit into one category.

Maybe you like a little Mid-Century Modern with traditional furniture. Maybe your favorite room combines dark academia, vintage industrial pieces, and colorful artwork. Maybe you don’t know what any of those names mean and simply know what you like.

That’s okay.

The goal isn’t to assign you a label. The goal is to help you understand what makes you feel at home.

Decorate A room

Have a Room That Just Doesn’t Feel Right?

Let’s fix it.

Almost everyone has one.

A room that should look good but somehow doesn’t.

Maybe you’ve moved furniture around three different times. Maybe you’ve bought things you liked individually, but they don’t seem to work together. Maybe the room feels unfinished, boring, cluttered, or simply doesn’t feel like you.

You know something is missing.

You just don’t know what.

PHOTO: A room that could use help or an intentionally unfinished-looking space

Then Is Now can help you look at the room with fresh eyes.

Sometimes the answer is a completely different layout. Sometimes it’s one missing piece of furniture, artwork, lighting, color, or an unexpected object that gives the room personality.

You don’t necessarily need to start over.

PHOTO: An interesting finished room at Then Is Now

Here’s the plan:

1. We talk about the room and what isn’t working for you.

2. We discuss how you use the space and what you want it to feel like.

3. We look at the furniture, colors, lighting, and objects already in the room.

4. We develop ideas for improving the space and determine what additional pieces might help.

5. Together, we create a room that feels more like you.

Sometimes a room doesn’t need more stuff.

It needs the right stuff.

That might mean rearranging what you already own. It might mean removing things. Or it might mean finding that one unusual piece that pulls everything together.

Our goal isn’t to make your room look like everyone else’s.

It’s to help make it look like yours.

  • Decorate Your Home “I know what I like when I see it, but I don’t know how to put a room together.”

Want Your Home to Feel More Like You?

Let’s make it happen.

Your home is where you live your life.

It’s where you relax, entertain friends, raise a family, celebrate holidays, and surround yourself with the things you’ve collected along the way.

But sometimes, somewhere along the way, your home stops feeling intentional.

Rooms get filled with furniture because it was available. Decorations accumulate. Things get moved from one room to another. Styles change. Life changes.

Eventually, you look around and think:

“How did my house end up looking like this?”

PHOTO: Interesting home interior or multiple styled rooms

Then Is Now can help you look at your home as a whole.

Instead of decorating one room at a time without considering everything else, we can help you develop an overall direction that connects your spaces while still allowing every room to have its own personality.

PHOTO: Different Then Is Now rooms that feel different but work together

Here’s the plan:

1. We talk about your home, your lifestyle, and what you would like to change.

2. We discuss the styles, colors, and spaces that inspire you.

3. We look at what you already have and identify what is worth keeping, changing, moving, or replacing.

4. We develop a direction for your home that reflects your personality and how you actually live.

5. We help you find the pieces that bring everything together.

PHOTO: Beautiful finished room

Your home doesn’t have to look like a catalog.

In fact, we hope it doesn’t.

The most interesting homes tell you something about the people who live there. They combine things collected over time with new discoveries, meaningful objects, artwork, family pieces, and things that simply make you happy.

Our goal is to help you create that kind of home.

  • Buy an Entire Room

Love the Room?

Why not take the whole thing home?

Sometimes you walk into a room and everything just works.

The furniture. The artwork. The lighting. The colors. The little details you might never have thought to put together yourself.

Instead of trying to remember everything you liked and then spending months searching for pieces that might work together, imagine being able to start with an entire finished look.

That’s one of the things that makes Then Is Now different.

PHOTO: One complete themed room at Then Is Now

Some of our rooms are designed as complete experiences. The individual pieces may be available separately, but when you see them together, you can also see how an entire room could come together.

And if you fall in love with the whole look, we can help you recreate that feeling in your own home.

PHOTO: Another complete room showing a distinctly different style

Here’s the plan:

1. You explore our rooms and find a look that speaks to you.

2. We talk about which parts of that room you love and how they might work in your home.

3. We determine which items are available and what additional pieces may be needed.

4. We help you create a plan for bringing the look together.

5. You get to enjoy the feeling of walking into a room that already works.

PHOTO: Detailed shot of a beautifully designed corner of a room

You don’t have to copy everything exactly.

Maybe you love the furniture but want different artwork. Maybe the colors are perfect, but your room is smaller. Maybe you want the overall feeling without recreating every detail.

That’s fine.

Think of our rooms as inspiration you can take home — whether that means one piece, several pieces, or an entire room.

Event Space

Need a More Interesting Place to Gather?

Then Is Now has space for that.

Let’s face it.

Most meeting rooms are boring.

Four plain walls, fluorescent lights, folding chairs, and maybe a table in the middle of the room.

Sometimes that’s all you need.

But sometimes the surroundings matter.

Whether you’re bringing together a small group for a meeting, workshop, club, party, game night, photo session, book signing, or something completely different, Then Is Now offers an environment people are likely to remember.

PHOTO: One of the most visually interesting spaces available for gatherings

Our store is made up of different rooms and design environments, which gives you something more interesting than a blank rental room.

Depending on the activity and the number of people involved, we may be able to help you find a space and setup that works for what you’re planning.

Looking for a More Interesting Background?

Come create something here.

Finding the right location for a photo shoot or video can be difficult.

Studios can be expensive. Outdoor locations are unpredictable. And sometimes you simply need an environment with more personality than a blank wall.

Then Is Now offers multiple rooms with different design styles, furniture, textures, colors, artwork, and unusual details.

That means one location can potentially give you several completely different looks.

PHOTO: Dramatic or visually interesting room suitable for photography

Whether you’re a photographer, videographer, artist, content creator, business owner, or simply someone looking for an unusual place to take photographs, we’d be happy to discuss what you’re planning.

Why Have Another Ordinary Party?

Try something different.

Sometimes the place is half the experience.

If you’re planning a birthday, celebration, gathering of friends, or another small event, Then Is Now may offer a setting that already has plenty to talk about.

Instead of renting a plain room and trying to decorate it yourself, imagine bringing people into a space filled with interesting things, different rooms, artwork, vintage treasures, and unexpected details.

Have Something to Teach?

Bring people together and share it.

Workshops are about more than simply giving people information.

Then Is Now may provide an interesting place to bring people together and create something.

Game Night Doesn’t Have to Be at Someone’s Kitchen Table.

  • Clubs

Looking for a Place for Your Club to Meet?

Make the meeting place part of the experience.

Clubs bring together people who already have something in common.

Books. Collecting. History. Art. Crafts. Games. Music. Cars. Almost anything can become a reason for people to get together.

But eventually, somebody has to find a place to meet.

Then Is Now may offer your group something a little more interesting than the usual meeting room.

PHOTO: Comfortable gathering space in the store

Our different rooms provide an environment filled with things to look at and talk about, making them especially appropriate for groups that enjoy creativity, history, collecting, art, design, and discovery.

Have Something You’d Like People to Discover?

Let’s create an event around it.

A book signing, artist reception, creative launch, or special appearance should feel like more than sitting behind a table waiting for someone to walk by.

The surroundings should help create an experience.

Then Is Now offers an environment filled with artwork, vintage treasures, unusual objects, and different rooms that can help make an event feel personal and memorable.
