Testimonials

''Janis helped my firm set up new offices, including finding the right space for our needs. She was invaluable in visualizing the space and designing the fully furnished layout, including construction of walls, cabinets, etc. She also helped us when we expanded our space in an adjoining office. Janis has extensive knowledge of office furniture, cubicle systems, fabrics, carpeting as well as sustainable offerings. I highly recommend her. She is very professional, personable, patient and responsive.

Cynthia Arcate - President & CEO, PowerOptions, Inc.

''Janis is a personable, reliable and very professional designer who created a spectacular family room design for an extremely difficult space we had been struggling with for a number of years. She was extremely responsive, took the time to identify what we were trying to do, designed a plan that efficiently utilized the space we had, guided us regarding colors, fabrics, and furniture styles, and helped us to achieve our goals. Janis is a very gifted designer, and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend both her and her work.

Nature and the Healing Environment

JALARTS creates warm and inviting environments that reduce stress and promote healing. Because studies show that exposure to nature has a positive effect on the healing process and contributes to an atmosphere of serenity and calm, we design environments using nature-oriented elements such as color, texture, lighting and art, etc. Combining this process with practical spatial design and the use of earth-friendly and non-toxic materials, JALARTS creates spaces which are uplifting for the spirit of their inhabitants.


Sustainable Design

Some of the most important aspects to consider in interior design are the health of the indoor environment, of the occupants and of the materials used. JALARTS will specify the most suitable sustainable and non-toxic finish materials for your project. Sustainable materials include those that are recycled, recyclable, locally manufactured, rapidly renewable, naturally made, promote good air quality, and are water/energy efficient.


Presentations and Exhibits

JALARTS offers a presentation entitled “Nature and the Healing Environment”, which describes how we can create environments that reduce stress and promote healing through the use of color, texture, art, light and other nature elements. This Powerpoint presentation is illustrated with colorful photos and an artistic hands-on display of environmentally friendly finish materials. We also offer a traveling exhibit of sustainable finish materials (20 boards with 20 materials). Contact JALARTS to inquire about these complimentary offerings.
