Second Chances

Interior spaces deserve to be fabulous and often need a second chance, with a seasoned design eye. Some of my dearest design projects are transforming a space that was once tired and used up into something classically modern and timeless. Every space, regardless of the size, deserves to be spectacular. Finding the perfect appointments for that space requires both time and focus.

Classic modern interiors are the hallmark of my design code; they stand the test of time and when executed properly they will outlast trends and fads. Furniture silhouettes are clean and polished, patterns are kept to a minimum and when used appropriately make a bold statement. Highcontrast combinations can be sophisticated and dramatic and can add that needed interest to a basic space, regardless of its size. A classic modern color ingredient can be strikingly represented in tones of neutral, tan, gray, dark chocolate, white, or black. Color is always important, and, when bold color is used, its choice should be used with caution.

Area rugs and carpet are important in completing a desired look.

A touch of modern is a must in my interior appointments, regardless of how traditional a space may lean. Mixing the unexpected adds increased interest and conversation to the space. Minimalistic is often the key to a fresh look, while the days of chachkies are long gone. Area rugs and carpet are important in completing a desired look. You either build the design around a fabulous rug pattern or the rug must remain controlled in color and design. Less is always more in design. The ultimate goal is to add less into the space while being certain that everything you add is needed to make the design better. Tailored interiors tend to be the most timeless of all. They are gender neutral and always lean toward the sophisticated. Wall coverings are a must in totally transforming a space and the varied offerings are spectacular. Often, I select a very high-end covering for a feature wall that will totally transform the space while remaining within budget.

My final word of advice, always take a picture of the space and review it carefully. If it looks too busy in the picture, edit out items; if it looks perfect, then you listened!!! Cheers!!!
