					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">Interior designer Chad Dorsey&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.chaddorseydesign.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">website</a> explains that he &ldquo;creates refined interiors that balance tailored style with the spirit of modern living.&rdquo; Nowhere is that more apparent than in STRIKE, the designer&rsquo;s latest collection of luxurious stone fireplaces.</p>
<p class="p1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="The " height="1200" src="https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.dornob.com/1600x1200_85/664/big-sur-603664.jpg" width="1600" class="" title="Sausalito" /></p>
<p class="p1">Though Dorsey&rsquo;s eponymous studio is based in Dallas, Texas, he more recently opened up a Los Angeles outpost in hopes of broadening his horizons. These newfound coastal surroundings, as well as the &ldquo;anything is possible&rdquo; attitude so prominent in <a href="https://dornob.com/easy-breezy-beautiful-this-cover-worthy-farmhouse-embodies-california-cool/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">California</a>, seem to have played a big role in shaping his new collection, whose diverse pieces are near-direct reflections of the state&rsquo;s awe-inspiring topographies.</p>
<p class="p1">STRIKE offers us six bold sculptural designs &mdash; Calistoga, Laguna, Malibu, Ojai, Sausalito, and Sea Ranch &mdash; each available in nine types of marble and limestone: White, Poseidon, Pewter, Nero, Montclaire, Danby, Cream, Charcoal, and Breccia Nuvole. On top of that, each fireplace can be adorned with one of three types of finish. And while that may sound like a lot of options to choose from, you can rest assured that every piece in this collection is refreshingly textural, unapologetically modern, and undeniably thought-provoking.</p>
<p class="p1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="The " height="1200" src="https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.dornob.com/1600x1200_85/671/calistoga-603671.jpg" width="1600" class="" title="Calistoga " /></p>
<p class="p1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="The " height="1200" src="https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.dornob.com/1600x1200_85/666/laguna-603666.jpg" width="1600" class="" title="Laguna " /></p>
<p class="p1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="The " height="1200" src="https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.dornob.com/1600x1200_85/670/malibu-603670.jpg" width="1600" class="" title="Malibu" /></p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;A lot of traditional fireplaces are already available, but there were hardly any modern options at all,&rdquo; Dorsey explains. &ldquo;I started designing my own streamlined fireplaces for interiors projects and expanded upon that for the line.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;People are more interested now in stones that have a lot more texture and <a href="https://dornob.com/flexible-stone-polygonal-tile-rug-crumples-like-paper/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">movement of pattern</a>,&rdquo; he adds. &ldquo;Breccia Nuvole gray marble is one of my favorites, because it looks like lava stone, especially when it&rsquo;s given a rough finish.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="The " height="1200" src="https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.dornob.com/1600x1200_85/667/ojai-603667.jpg" width="1600" class="" title="Ojai " /></p>
<p class="p1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="The " height="1200" src="https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.dornob.com/1600x1200_85/668/sea-ranch-603668.jpg" width="1600" class="" title="Sea Ranch " /></p>
<p class="p1">Hailing from Tennessee, Dorsey&rsquo;s passion for architecture began early on, eventually leading him to pursue a degree in architecture and, after that, a career in hospitality design. He&rsquo;s since overseen projects like clubs, hotels, airplane interiors, and luxury residences &mdash; all worth a collective $2 billion.</p>
<p class="p1">The designer&#8217;s website notes that &ldquo;his aesthetic is best described as &lsquo;relaxed luxury,&rsquo; which is defined by a quiet palette, custom furnishings with handcrafted details, meaningful objects, and a true sense of the people who live there. He believes furnishings should be impactful without being overwhelming, and rooms should flow and transition seamlessly.&rdquo; This style is evident in Dorsey&#8217;s interiors projects, too, whether it be his ultra-beachy &#8220;Surf Shack&#8221; retreat in Dallas&#8217; Forest Hills neighborhood, a super sophisticated, LA-inspired &#8220;La La Land&#8221; home, or a graphic wonderland of a Hamptons Showhouse.</p>
<p class="p1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Inside Chad Dorsey's bold, graphic " height="2000" src="https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/cimg/www.dornob.com/1500x2000_85/665/surf-shack-603665.jpg" width="1500" class="" title="Chad Dorsey's Surf Shack " /></p>

<p class="p1">In a recent interview with <em>California Home Design</em>, Dorsey expounded further on his distinct brand of &#8220;relaxed luxury,&#8221; explaining that for him, &#8220;r<span>elaxed luxury is the idea of living casually with things a person loves to touch and feel in a way that is approachable and not precious. Relaxed luxury is understated. Often quiet, it can go unnoticed, but the user with a discerning eye will appreciate the details and the soothing feeling. Relaxed luxury is achieved with custom furnishings incorporating handcrafted details, meaningful objects, and a true sense of the people who live there.&#8221;</span></p><p>The post <a href="https://dornob.com/strike-chad-dorseys-bold-stone-fireplaces-heat-up-the-modern-home/">STRIKE: Chad Dorsey’s Bold Stone Fireplaces Heat Up the Modern Home</a> first appeared on <a href="https://dornob.com">Dornob</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As our homes continue to get more portable and customizable, it feels like there’s never been a better time for modular furniture. After all, we never know when we’re going to need that one extra spot on the couch for a new friend to squeeze in, or an extra seat at the dining room table for them to eat at. Others live in <a href="https://dornob.com/small-smart-and-super-functional-this-micro-apartment-is-packed-with-space-saving-features/">exceedingly small apartments</a> where permanent furniture placement isn&#8217;t really an option, making transforming multipurpose pieces essential to daily life.  </p>

<p>That&#8217;s where <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Expand Furniture (opens in a new tab)" href="https://expandfurniture.com/" target="_blank">Expand Furniture</a> comes in. The Vancouver, Canada-based company prides itself on creating space-saving modular pieces for the modern home, offering an impressive selection of convertible beds, bookshelves, chairs, couches, and tables in sleek shades of brown, gray, and white. </p>



<p>We recently got a chance to put two of Expand&#8217;s hottest items, the <a href="https://expandfurniture.com/product/alzare-small-transforming-coffee-table/">Alzare Transforming Coffee Table</a> and <a href="https://expandfurniture.com/product/soft-cube-love-seat-2-person-sofa/">Soft Cube Love Seat,</a> to the test at our headquarters in El Segundo, California. From the moment we took the pieces out of the box, we couldn&#8217;t believe how space-efficient — and how wonderfully different — their designs were. </p>

<p>The Alzare Transforming Coffee Table might look like little more than a thick tabletop upon first unboxing it, but this minimalist piece is <em>much</em> more than meets the eye. Sitting just 10 inches off the ground at its lowest height setting, the wooden table sits on a sleek pair of metallic legs and hydraulic gas lift system for ultra-sturdy support and easy use. The latter also allows you to raise the table up to a full 30 inches with the simple pull of a lever, at which point you can actually rotate and flip open the tabletop to reveal a much larger dining table surface. </p>

<p>Since the table serves two distinct functions — one more suited to the living room and the other to the dining room — the company has also fitted its legs with discreet wheels for easy transportation. We&#8217;re pretty grateful they did, too, because this thing is surprisingly heavy! </p>

<p>The Soft Cube Love Seat&#8217;s transforming qualities are subtler than the Alzare&#8217;s, but they&#8217;re every bit as important when it comes to saving space. Billed by the company as a &#8220;future-proof modular design,&#8221; the Soft Cube comes in pieces or &#8220;modules&#8221; that can either be paired up to form a full-sized couch or used on individually as corner pieces. The basic bundle retails for $1,500 and includes two modules, but if you feel like <em>expanding</em> it at any point (pun fully intended), you can always just order an additional middle or ottoman piece and add it to your set. </p>

<p>Each Soft Cube module is coated in a light-and-dark-gray woven fabric for a sophisticated modern look, and with a set of dark wooden feet that you can choose to install or not.  Just be warned that a drill <em>is</em> required for this task. I tried screwing them in with a regular old screwdriver, and the resulting blisters were unpleasant to say the least. </p>

<p>At the end of the day, it&#8217;s hard to think of a reason the modern apartment dweller wouldn&#8217;t want Expand Furniture pieces in their home. They make saving space fun and easy, and they allow you to get creative with your furniture arrangements on a regular basis. The pieces might be a little on the pricey side, but it&#8217;s important to remember that <a href="https://dornob.com/slow-furniture-6-reasons-its-better-for-you-and-your-future/">they&#8217;re actually sturdy and won&#8217;t break down on you after a couple years</a>. </p>



<figure></figure>



<p>I&#8217;ve since moved the Alzare to my own apartment, where it continues to amaze dinner guests with its shape-shifting powers. Oh, and I&#8217;d be remiss if I didn&#8217;t mention that board games are significantly more fun when you have a gigantic low tabletop to play on.  Thanks, Expand! </p><p>The post <a href="https://dornob.com/product-review-expands-transforming-modular-furniture/">Product Review: Expand’s Transforming Modular Furniture</a> first appeared on <a href="https://dornob.com">Dornob</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Few things are worse to a man than a bad shave. Maybe you ran out of shaving cream and had to resort to just using water, or you only had an old blade on you and ended up getting a lot more cut up than you originally intended. Whatever the case might be, it&#8217;s no big secret that us guys will fork over a pretty penny to avoid these discomforts, and even more so, to elevate our shaving experiences to the next level of comfort. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="490" height="490" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-1.png" alt="The new Heated Razor from GilletteLabs." class="wp-image-66946" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-1.png 490w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-1-150x150.png 150w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-1-468x468.png 468w" sizes="(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px" /></figure>



<p>Cue the Heated Razor: the first-ever innovation to come out of industry titan <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Gillette's (opens in a new tab)" href="https://gillette.com/en-us" target="_blank">Gillette&#8217;s</a> new GilletteLabs premium division. After completing a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="highly-successful round of crowdfunding (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-heated-razor-by-gillettelabs-sold-out#/" target="_blank">highly-successful round of crowdfunding</a> at the end of 2018, this hot new product officially made its public debut last May via luxury shaving retailer <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="The Art of Shaving (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.theartofshaving.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5ur_4P_u4gIVBMpkCh1BswG6EAAYASAAEgJo8vD_BwE&amp;cm_mmc=PPC-IP-GL-_-Brand%20-%20Pure-_-Brand%20-%20Pure%20%7C%20Exact-_-ff0d4be6-055d-4ba5-9410-44a8a964897e&amp;src=ssp1617" target="_blank">The Art of Shaving</a>.  The <em>Dornob</em> team recently got the chance to put one to the test first-hand, and we&#8217;re happy to say it did a pretty good job of living up to the hype. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="490" height="490" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-5.png" alt="The new Heated Razor from GilletteLabs." class="wp-image-66942" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-5.png 490w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-5-150x150.png 150w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-5-468x468.png 468w" sizes="(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px" /></figure>



<p>From the moment you first glimpse the Heated Razor&#8217;s sleek black packaging, it&#8217;s pretty apparent that it was designed to be a class act. This message translates outside the box, too, thanks largely to the razor&#8217;s wireless magnetic charging dock, which keeps it propped up on your bathroom countertop like it was suspended in mid-air.  Pair that with the bright strip of light that runs up its handle whenever it&#8217;s on or charging, and you&#8217;ve got a decidedly modern new toy on your hands. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="490" height="490" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-2.png" alt="The new Heated Razor from GilletteLabs." class="wp-image-66945" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-2.png 490w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-2-150x150.png 150w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-2-468x468.png 468w" sizes="(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px" /></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="490" height="490" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-4.png" alt="The new Heated Razor from GilletteLabs." class="wp-image-66943" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-4.png 490w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-4-150x150.png 150w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-4-468x468.png 468w" sizes="(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px" /></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="490" height="490" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-3.png" alt="Man shaves using GilletteLabs' new Heated Razor." class="wp-image-66944" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-3.png 490w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-3-150x150.png 150w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-3-468x468.png 468w" sizes="(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px" /></figure>



<p>Even better, the Heated Razor runs about as smooth as it looks. It&#8217;s true that it only offers one major feature over most conventional blades — heating —  but it does give you a surprising amount of control of that feature. Press the power button once to activate the thick gold warming bar underneath the razor&#8217;s five total blades. No need to wait around after turning it on, either, as this bar is ready to go in <em>less than a second</em>. After that, you&#8217;re free to start enjoying an ultra-smooth shaving experience the company likens to &#8220;the comfort of a hot towel.&#8221;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="695" height="630" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-6.png" alt="The technical specifications behind GilletteLabs' new Heated Razor." class="wp-image-66941" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-6.png 695w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/heated-razor-6-468x424.png 468w" sizes="(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px" /></figure>



<p>When it came time for me to try out the Heated Razor, I was immediately impressed by how easily the blades seemed to glide over all the contours of my face. I credit this to the incorporation of Gillette&#8217;s patented FlexDisc into its design, which gives the cartridge a refreshingly wide range of motion.  And as someone who constantly finds themselves running their regular razors under hot water to achieve some semblance of the same effect, I think it goes without saying that I was quite pleased with the heat, too.  If the initial temperatures was ever too hot for me —  though to be completely honest, it never was —  all I had to do was hold the power button for a few seconds longer than normal to switch to a lower heat setting. </p>



<p>After about a month of using the Heated Razor, it finally came time to recharge. This too was ultra-easy. Just stand it up on the charging dock for a few hours, make sure the dock&#8217;s actually plugged in, and you&#8217;re good to go. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/razor-main-1-1-1024x768.jpg" alt="The new Heated Razor from GilletteLabs.

<p>I still use my Heated Razor to this day, and I have no plan on going back to my old shaving routine anytime soon. Of course, it is a luxury item, so I&#8217;ll leave it up to you to decide whether or not the $200 price tag is worth it. But if you&#8217;re as tired of getting cut by cold, uncomfortable razorblades as I was, it&#8217;s definitely something to consider swiping up. </p>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2019, it&#8217;s easy to feel like appreciation for the great outdoors is at an all-time low. After all, it only makes sense that the younger generations would be skipping out on camping trips in favor of <a href="https://dornob.com/new-hotel-in-hawaii-designed-to-be-instagram-friendly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more Instagrammable vacations,</a> and that they&#8217;d know substantially less about things like building shelters and starting campfires.</p>

<p>As it turns out, camping&#8217;s popularity has actually been <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/monicahoughton/2018/04/16/why-camping-is-rising-in-popularity-especially-among-millennials/#30eedda216c0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the rise</a> for the past few years, driving companies to create all kinds of new products in hopes of simplifying the experience for everyone. One of the more noteworthy inventions to come from that surge is the <a href="https://dornob.com/this-solar-oven-makes-portable-fuel-free-cooking-possible/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GoSun Go Portable Solar Cooker:</a> a small tubular oven that cooks your meals using nothing but the power of the sun. We recently got the chance to put a few of these ovens to the test at our El Segundo headquarters.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63876" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-2.jpg" alt="Standalone image of the GoSun Go Portable Solar Cooker." width="640" height="480" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-2.jpg 640w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-2-468x351.jpg 468w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p>Setting up three ovens in a nearby park on a clear, sunny day, we tried our best to cook all of the foods listed in the accompanying instructional booklet, including  broccoli, canned corn, diced sweet potatoes, ground beef, hot dogs, and a chopped-up veggie patty. We found prepping the food and evenly distributing it between each unit&#8217;s two silicone cooking pads to be a total breeze, though we did have to give a little thought to the way we arranged everything in the stainless steel cooking trays. We knew they would be propped up at roughly 45-degree angles while cooking and found it best to place the meat-containing pads towards the bottom to keep their juices from running down onto the other dishes.</p>
<p>Since the muffins were basically all liquid before being cooked, we decided against propping up their oven, instead leaving it flat on the tabletop alongside the other two GoSun Gos.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63875" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-3.jpg" alt="A woman and her daughter cook outside with their GoSun Go Portable Solar Cooker." width="800" height="534" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-3.jpg 800w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-3-468x312.jpg 468w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-3-768x513.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>After that, all that was left do was to sit back and wait for the food to be ready. The company stresses making sure that the small black circle on the front of each tube is in perfect alignment with the sun, but from what we can gather, this doesn&#8217;t seem to be to exact of a science. You should be good to go as long as you can see the sun&#8217;s reflection somewhere on the dial.</p>
<p>We ultimately needed to give each dish around an hour to properly cook (a little more than the 40 minutes advertised in the instructional booklet), but when everything was ready to eat, we found it all to be exactly as tender and charred as we wanted it to be. The muffins smelled absolutely delicious, and they were just as fluffy as they would&#8217;ve been coming out of a conventional indoor oven. Just remember to be careful when removing your own finished meals from the GoSun Go, since the cooking tray is extremely hot to the touch and capable of reaching temperatures of up to 550° Fahrenheit.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63874" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-4.jpg" alt="All the components of the GoSun Go Solar Cooker laid out side-by-side." width="800" height="558" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-4.jpg 800w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-4-468x326.jpg 468w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/gosun-4-768x536.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>Cleanup was nearly as easy as setup, with the brush included in the packaging making quick work of the buildup inside the tubes. It seems that some juice did manage to escape the oven containing the ground beef, however, resulting in a stained outer carrying case — but aren&#8217;t stains really just portals to treasured memories?</p>
<p>All in all, the GoSun Go Portable Solar Cooker is a nifty little appliance that&#8217;s perfect for anyone who plans on going camping with their friends in the near future. It might not always give you the same quality food as a conventional oven, and it does take quite awhile to work its magic in cloudy conditions, but when it works, it really works. Plus, it beats the traditional campfire by a long shot in the way of <a href="https://dornob.com/flames-without-smoke-new-biolite-firepit-makes-camping-more-comfortable/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">environmental consciousness</a>.</p>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mark your calendars — the 13th annual Dwell on Design conference is returning to the Los Angeles Convention Center from April 5-7, 2018. A longtime magnet for design enthusiasts and professionals, Dwell on Design spotlights the latest in modern architecture, design, technology, and more. We went <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCNs_Pv3evLQiWNvooiske-yR2IFXpbDr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last year</a> and had a great time meeting designers and checking out different demos and studios. This year, the conference features yet another impressive array of events, exhibits, and speakers that’s more than worth the price of admission.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58031" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Dwell-on-Design-Social-Image-7.jpg" alt="Dwell on Design" width="800" height="534" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Dwell-on-Design-Social-Image-7.jpg 800w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Dwell-on-Design-Social-Image-7-468x312.jpg 468w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Dwell-on-Design-Social-Image-7-768x513.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>Conference-goers will have their pick of dynamic showcases and displays, including Dwell Outdoor, an installation that creates an innovative outdoor setting and features prefabricated, eco-friendly show houses from Method Homes. Attendees can also take 360-degree virtual design tours at The Design Space and buy directly from studio-based designers and artists at “show-within-a-show” Prime Edition.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58034" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Dwell-on-Design-Social-Image-10-1.jpg" alt="Dwell on Design" width="800" height="533" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Dwell-on-Design-Social-Image-10-1.jpg 800w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Dwell-on-Design-Social-Image-10-1-468x312.jpg 468w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Dwell-on-Design-Social-Image-10-1-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>The conference kicks off with Meet the Architects, a special evening event at the Pacific Design Center on Wednesday, April 4. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from the architects behind the Dwell Home Tours, which offer a behind-the-scenes look at innovative homes throughout Los Angeles. Other speakers slated to appear include iconic designer Jonathan Adler, photographer Seph Lawless, and educator Paula Wallace.</p>

					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a question we&#8217;ve all had at some point in the process of redecorating our homes: &#8220;how is that color going to look on my walls?&#8221; Unfortunately, traditional paint swatches are often so small, it&#8217;s hard to imagine how the shades printed on them would look when applied to an entire room. Plus, those samples are almost always dyed to mimic colors instead of being coated with the actual paints, leaving plenty of room for inaccuracy and potentially wasting <em>a lot</em> of your hard-earned money. Luckily, the folks over at <a href="http://samplize.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Samplize</a> have created a wide variety of removable paint decals to take care of these problems once and for all.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56105" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize.png" alt="Samplize Removable Decals" width="1080" height="868" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize.png 1080w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-468x376.png 468w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-768x617.png 768w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-1024x823.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" /></p>
<p>Available in two sizes (12 X 12 inches for &#8220;on-the-go color&#8221; and 24 X 24 for for &#8220;large format visualization&#8221;) and six different finishes (flat, velvet, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss), Samplize&#8217; decals aim to meet every decorating project&#8217;s individual color-sampling needs. According to the company website, each one is hand-painted using the specific paint color you request — same company and everything. Samplize currently offers the top colors from brands like <a href="https://www.sherwin-williams.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sherwin-Williams</a>, <a href="https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Benjamin Moore</a>, and <a href="https://www.dunnedwards.com">Dunn-Edwards</a>, and it hopes to offer even more color lines in the future as it continues to grow. The company&#8217;s FAQ page reads: &#8220;If you would like us to stock a specific color that we do not currently carry you can request it using our online color request form!&#8221;</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56104" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-2.png" alt="Samplize Removable Decals" width="1080" height="834" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-2.png 1080w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-2-468x361.png 468w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-2-768x593.png 768w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-2-1024x791.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" />When testing out the decals, we used one of each size: A 12&#8243; X 12&#8243; swatch for Benjamin Moore&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/hc-144/palladian-blue?color=HC-144">Palladian Blue</a>&#8221; and a 24&#8243; X 24&#8243; one for the same company&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color/2114-40/wet-concrete?color=2114-40" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wet Concrete</a>&#8221; color. Both swatches bore an eggshell finish. While we didn&#8217;t have samples of the actual paints available to us for a side-by-side color comparison, it&#8217;s worth noting that the colors on the decals appear to be a little bit lighter than the ones featured on Benjamin Moore&#8217;s website — despite Samplize&#8217; claim that all of its decals have been colored using two coats of the actual manufacturer&#8217;s paint.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56106" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-5.jpg" alt="Samplize Removable Decals" width="800" height="450" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-5.jpg 800w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-5-468x263.jpg 468w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-5-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>Nonetheless, the overall experience of using the decals proved to be a total breeze. The &#8220;<a href="https://dornob.com/fabulous-impact-wall-art-from-eazywallz-transforms-your-personal-space/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">peel-and-stick</a>&#8221; application advertised on the Samplize website is exactly as simple as it sounds, and it took all of about ten seconds to successfully get the decals nice and flat on the wall. Removing and repositioning them was just as easy thanks to their non-damaging adhesive backing. If you&#8217;re nervous about ruining your walls with sticky swatches, you can rest assured knowing you&#8217;re in good hands with Samplize.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56103" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-3.png" alt="Samplize Removable Decals" width="1080" height="834" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-3.png 1080w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-3-468x361.png 468w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-3-768x593.png 768w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-3-1024x791.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px" />The <a href="https://dornob.com/functional-art-fun-fold-out-3d-wall-sticker-decal-designs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wall decals</a> lived up to virtually every other one of the features that they advertised. They handled corners exceptionally well, and they allowed the texture of the walls underneath them to fully come through for an ultra-realistic appearance. Air bubbles were either non-existent or kept to a minimum, especially in the case of the 12&#8243; X 12&#8243; swatch. While the large one was a little harder to smooth out (it may have required a couple of &#8220;re-do&#8221; applications), it still ended up being easy enough to flatten in less than a minute. Afterward, we even found the process of sticking the decals back onto their release paper relatively painless — something that the company describes as much &#8220;trickier&#8221; than it actually seems to be.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56102" src="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-4.png" alt="Samplize Removable Decals" width="853" height="1280" srcset="https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-4.png 853w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-4-468x702.png 468w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-4-768x1152.png 768w, https://dornob.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/samplize-4-682x1024.png 682w" sizes="(max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px" /></p>
<p>Currently, Samplize&#8217; smaller decals are going for $4.95, while the larger ones will run you $6.95 a piece. If you want the company to make a custom decal for you, you&#8217;ll be looking at a one to three-dollar price increase. Overall, if you&#8217;re looking for a super quick and easy way to determine how that color is actually going to look on your wall, you&#8217;re far better off using something like Samplize than you would be with regular old manufacturer-provided swatches.</p><p>The post <a href="https://dornob.com/product-review-samplize-removable-paint-decals/">Product Review: Samplize Removable Paint Decals</a> first appeared on <a href="https://dornob.com">Dornob</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
