Start by establishing a rustic cottage foundation for your interior. Opt for natural and weathered materials such as exposed wooden beams, reclaimed wood flooring, or stone walls to create a warm and cozy backdrop. These rustic elements will serve as a grounding base for the overall design while adding character and texture to the space.</p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Baroque-Inspired Furnishings:
Introduce baroque-inspired furnishings to infuse an element of elegance and grandeur into the rustic setting. Look for ornate furniture pieces with intricate carvings, graceful curves, and luxurious upholstery. Incorporate a baroque-style chandelier as a focal point in the room to create a dramatic and opulent ambiance.</p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Melding Color Palettes:
To achieve a seamless fusion, find a common thread between the rustic and baroque color palettes. While rustic cottage style often embraces earthy tones such as warm browns, beiges, and muted greens, baroque style tends to lean towards rich jewel tones like deep blues, regal purples, and vibrant reds. Find a balance by incorporating accent colors from the baroque palette into the rustic scheme, using them in accessories, artwork, or textiles.</p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Mix Textures and Patterns:
Combine rustic and baroque textures and patterns to create visual interest and depth in your design. Pair distressed wooden furniture with plush velvet upholstery or elaborate brocade fabrics. Mix and match patterns such as floral motifs, damask prints, or toile designs on curtains, pillows, or upholstery. This combination of textures and patterns will add richness and complexity to the overall aesthetic.</p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Accessorize Thoughtfully:
Incorporate carefully selected accessories to bring the two styles together. Choose rustic elements like vintage wooden signs, woven baskets, or antique farmhouse pieces to enhance the cottage charm. At the same time, incorporate baroque accents such as gilded mirrors, elaborate picture frames, or crystal candle holders to introduce a touch of opulence. Strike a balance between the two styles by ensuring that the accessories complement each other and contribute to the overall cohesive design.</p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Create a Cozy Atmosphere:
To enhance the rustic cottage feel, focus on creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Incorporate soft and plush textiles such as faux fur throws, knitted blankets, or embroidered cushions. Layer rugs with rustic patterns or natural fibers to add warmth and comfort to the space. Dim lighting, such as candlelight or strategically placed lamps, can further enhance the cozy ambiance and add a touch of baroque elegance.</p></li></ol><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #f7f7f8; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> <img alt="Free Person using Candle Snuffer Stock Photo" class="spacing_noMargin__Q_PsJ PhotoZoom_image__iR_Ia" height="400" src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/8180750/pexels-photo-8180750.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1260&h=750&dpr=1" style="background: rgb(97, 79, 65); transform: none;" width="267" />

Bring the outdoors inside by incorporating botanical prints and natural elements into your decor. Consider floral-patterned wallpapers, leafy prints on cushions or curtains, and real or faux plants to add a touch of freshness. Introducing natural materials like rattan, jute, or bamboo in furniture and accessories will also create an organic and summer-inspired look.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><img alt="Free Photo Of Woman Holding Paint Work Stock Photo" class="spacing_noMargin__Q_PsJ MediaCard_image__ljFAl" height="640" src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/4587855/pexels-photo-4587855.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500" width="427" /> </p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"> </p></li><li style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0.375em;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;">Light and Airy Fabrics:

Consider using these colors in your home decor, either as accents or as the main color scheme.</p></li><li><p>Incorporate surreal and irrational elements: Surrealism is all about creating unexpected and irrational imagery, so consider adding elements to your home that defy logic and the laws of physics. This could be something as simple as a floor lamp with a twisted, abstract shape, or a coffee table with a surrealist-inspired design.</p></li><li><p>Play with scale and proportion: Dali often played with scale and proportion in his paintings, depicting objects that were much larger or smaller than they would be in reality. Consider using furniture or decor items that play with scale, such as a giant vase or a tiny chair.</p></li><li><p>Use surrealist-inspired art and decorations: Hang surrealist-inspired artwork on your walls, or display surrealist-themed decorative items such as figurines or sculptures. You could also use surrealist-inspired patterns and designs on textiles such as curtains, pillows, and rugs.</p></li></ol><p>Remember to have fun and be creative with your decorating, and don't be afraid to mix and match different styles and elements to create a unique and personal space that reflects your own interests and personality.</p></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195547682493340570.post-30631810558281225132022-12-16T13:38:00.002-08:002022-12-16T13:38:09.933-08:00About Fruit Decor In The Kitchen<p> <img alt="Free Bowl filled with lemons on textile on table near chair Stock Photo" class="spacing_noMargin__Q_PsJ MediaCard_image__ljFAl" height="472" src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/6489667/pexels-photo-6489667.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500" width="315" /></p><div class="min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap"><div class="request-:r0:-1 markdown prose break-words dark:prose-invert light"><p>Fruit can be a colorful and attractive addition to a kitchen decor.

Here are a few suggestions:</p><ol><li><p>Start by giving the piece a thorough cleaning. This will help you get a better sense of the condition of the furniture and will remove any dirt or grime that could make it harder to restore. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently clean the surface, taking care not to rub too hard or use harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.</p></li><li><p>Next, assess the condition of the furniture and determine what repairs are needed. If the piece has any loose joints or broken parts, these will need to be fixed before you can move on to other restoration steps. You can often find instructions for simple repairs online, or you can take the piece to a professional if the repairs are more complex.</p></li><li><p>If the furniture has any scratches or other damage to the finish, you can try to fix these yourself using a furniture polish or wax. Apply the product according to the instructions on the label, and use a soft cloth to buff the finish until it looks smooth and shiny.</p></li><li><p>If the furniture has a lot of scratches or other damage to the finish, you may need to strip the old finish and apply a new one. This can be a time-consuming and messy process, but it can give your furniture a completely new look. Be sure to wear gloves and eye protection, and work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling any harmful fumes.</p></li><li><p>Finally, consider adding new hardware or accessories to the piece to give it a fresh, updated look. This can be as simple as replacing old, outdated hardware with new knobs or pulls, or you can add decorative elements like new cushions or throw pillows to make the piece more comfortable and inviting.</p></li></ol><p>Overall, restoring last century furniture on a budget is a matter of being willing to put in the time and effort to make the piece look its best. By following these tips, you can save money while still giving your furniture a fresh, new look that will last for years to come.</p></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195547682493340570.post-75178728945170276352022-12-14T16:59:00.005-08:002022-12-14T20:01:34.849-08:00Decorating Your Home With Vintage Items<div class="min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap"><div class="request-:R3d6:-0 markdown prose break-words dark:prose-invert light"><p>Decorating your home with <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Welcome2Vintage" target="_blank">vintage</a> and retro items can add a unique and nostalgic touch to your space. Here are some tips for incorporating these items into your decor:</p><ol><li><p>Start by choosing a few key vintage or retro pieces to serve as the focal point of the room. These could be larger items like a vintage sofa or armchair, or smaller items like a retro-inspired lamp or piece of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Welcome2Vintage?section_id=27965627">wall art</a>.</p><p><img alt="Free photos of Couch" height="380" src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/03/13/09/27/couch-671430_960_720.jpg" style="height: auto;" width="507" /> <br /></p></li><li><p>Mix and match your vintage and retro pieces with more modern items to create a balanced and cohesive look. For example, you could pair a vintage coffee table with a modern sofa, or hang a retro-inspired piece of art above a contemporary bookshelf. </p><p><img alt="Free photos of Corner" height="339" src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/07/29/08/29/corner-3569701_960_720.jpg" style="height: auto;" width="509" /></p></li><li><p>Use vintage and retro items as accents or pops of color throughout the room. For example, you could add a vintage rug to a neutral-colored living room, or place a retro-inspired <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Welcome2Vintage?section_id=26342690">vase</a> on a modern dining table.</p></li><li><p>Don't be afraid to mix different styles and eras together. This can create a unique and eclectic look that reflects your personal style. For example, you could pair a mid-century modern sofa with a vintage industrial coffee table, or mix and match colorful retro-inspired throw pillows with a more traditional sofa.</p></li><li><p>Pay attention to the condition of the vintage and retro items you are using. While some patina and wear can add character and charm, items that are too worn or damaged can detract from the overall look of the room.</p></li></ol><p>Overall, the key to successfully incorporating vintage and retro items into your decor is to have fun with it and be creative. Mix and match different pieces and styles to create a unique and personal space that reflects your own taste and style.</p></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0V82V+FX Lascar, CO, USA37.851149 -104.655017.6426302440708191 -139.81126 68.059667755929183 -69.49876tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195547682493340570.post-26839748153461472982019-07-15T20:44:00.004-07:002019-07-15T20:44:49.313-07:00 Irish designer Aoife Mullane's Wicklow home<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<em>Welcome to IMAGE.ie’s new Look Inside series. It's all about
real people's real homes – our favourite part of our home and why we
like that particular space so much. Every week, we’ll catch up with
Irish creatives to learn about their favourite corner of their house;
this week, it’s Aoife Mullane, Irish textiles designer from Wicklow. </em></div>
<hr />
Aoife Mullane is an Irish textiles designer
who blends beauty with practicality effortlessly. “I want to create
designs that make you feel good every time you see them," she says. "I
truly believe my fabrics can enhance your daily life through beauty and
function.”<br />
She combines inspiration from nature with her knowledge of textiles
(which she obtained through studies at NCAD) and creates bespoke
patterns for cushions and lampshades.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
“Every square inch of my signature designs have been carefully
considered,” Aoife adds. “Gathering inspiration, sketching in my
notepad, sampling colours and testing fabrics – these are the many
stages in the creative process that get lost in the world of commercial
design," she explains.<br />
With such passion and creativity, we wanted to know more about
Aoife's taste in interiors. Here she opens up her bedroom which also
doubles as an art studio.<br />
<h3>
Aoife Mullane at home</h3>
"This is my bedroom space – it's at the very top of the house and I
have a beautiful view right out over Bray Head. I can see the sun rising
every morning," she tells us.<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-146049" height="266" src="https://media.image.ie/uploads/2019/03/29095939/IMG_0468-1024x683.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
"I have a desk space right under my skylights and this is where I
would do a lot of my drawing and sketch work – it's light, bright and
inspiring.<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-146050" height="267" src="https://media.image.ie/uploads/2019/03/29100150/Screenshot-2019-03-29-at-10.01.29-1024x685.png" width="400" /><br />
<h3>
The colour scheme</h3>
"My textile designs focus on a very tonal colour palette; working
with muted hues that contrast with the flecks of metallic in my
handprinted fabrics. I like the combination of soft blues, powdery pinks
and calming greens I have used within my space.<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-146042" height="266" src="https://media.image.ie/uploads/2019/03/29095256/IMG_0435-1024x683.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<h3>
The importance of design</h3>
"I have always had a love for interiors," Aoife says. "I truly
believe your surroundings play a huge role in how you feel on a daily
basis.<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-146043" height="256" src="https://media.image.ie/uploads/2019/03/29095302/IMG_0445-1024x657.jpg" width="400" /><br />
"I try not to follow trends. Instead, I design my pieces with
longevity in mind. The lampshade, for example, is my own design; this
piece is inspired by the pebbles and stones that can be seen on the
seafront. I think this piece would work in a number of interior
settings."<br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-146052" height="266" src="https://media.image.ie/uploads/2019/03/29100343/IMG_0495-1024x683.jpg" width="400" /><br />
"I want my pieces to blur the lines between functionality and art," she adds. "I want them to be both!<br />
"When adding other elements to my space I generally keep it simple;
using natural materials and adding texture through wood/rattan."<br />

<span class="s1">2018 was the year of many looks including
marble, bold floors, rose gold, and shiplap just about everywhere it
could be. While many of the styles we saw will continue to be popular in
2019, others are officially over. Whether you are renovating your home,
buying a new one or simply redecorating a room, here is everything you
need to know from the designers who set the trends. </span></div>

<span class="s1">Dynamic duo Alexis Rodgers and Pam Mamourian of <span class="s2" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:http://www.homewithalexis.com/">Home With Alexis</span>
look at the upcoming 2019 design trends as a positive change. Alexis
stated, “I see a shift away from the omnipresent cool gray walls and
dark stained hardwood floors of the past few years towards a warmer
color palette and more vibrant accent colors. The former palette will
still have a place in homes of a certain style, but more and more
clients are embracing the latter. People are exploring a more
out-of-the-box, colorful side and want their homes to be a reflection of
who they are, not a page out of a catalog.” </span></div>
<div class="speakable-paragraph">
</div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">To the same point, Pam projects that the
trend for 2019 is all about individuals gaining a sense of confidence in
their own voice. “I believe it's a reaction to the current political
climate and a step into a post television design show period. This will
take shape through a variety of ideas and forms, but be prepared to see
more individuality, warmth, and personality expressed in interiors this
year.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /><span class="s1">Happiness
never goes out of style and it looks like fun, whimsical art and decor
isn’t going away anytime soon either. Robyn Blair Davidson, who was
called “The Most In-Demand Instagram Artist of 2018,” will be
keeping that title for 2019, with her line of candy art by <a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.byrobynblair.com/" href="https://www.byrobynblair.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">robynblair</a>
designed to sweeten up any space. “People want to be surrounded by
things that make them happy,” explained Davidson. She thinks people vibe
with the style of her artwork because “These elements make people smile
every time they see them. The bright fonts, colors, and textures are
art within themselves.”

Michael Schoeller and Joanna Darling of <span class="s2" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:http://www.schoellerdarlingdesign.com/">SCHOELLER + DARLING DESIGN</span> are particularly touting green upholstery “From grass green to more mixed teals.”</span><span class="s1"> </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">They also suggest decorating with lots of
live greenery throughout the home. “Use in clusters, mixed containers
in heights and sizes. We particularly like containers with matte
finishes or raw finishes like concrete. Small trees and plants give
shape and texture and add life to a room. Crowd a front window with them
or use them in large groups rather than in single plants dotted
around.”</span></div>

<span class="s1">Aurore Martial of <span class="s2" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://domus-venus.com/">Domus Venus</span>
loves textured walls for 2019. “They add more contrast, and having two
different materials is a lot more appealing, even if you stay in the
same tones.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Another way to make walls look more
interesting is to add paint. She suggests, “If you really want to stick
to paint, try different shapes, in <span class="s2" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.instagram.com/p/BXLF50Vj56Z/">Neo Memphis style</span>.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Paint is also a budget-friendly option.
“You really get a wow effect at a fraction of the cost of a statement
piece, and it fills the whole room, so the rest can be more neutral. The
walls will make the room.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Murals are another popular trend. “I love
murals because in a minimalist room it will draw the attention and
become the focus piece.”</span></div>

than the exposed bulb and exposed wiring I much prefer a vintage piece
of lighting that has stylistic cues from France or Italian modern
design. They are refined, well proportioned, modern and have sculptural
lines and shapes. Think Stillnovo, Bauhaus or Sarfatti for wall sconces

<span class="s3">Halo LED Chandeliers will also be big next year according to Michael Friedes, of Michael Friedes Design Associates. “They

Dark and cherry wood cabinets are officially over and 2019 will be the year that kitchens evolve. <span>Christine Stucker of Stewart-Schafer stated that painted cabinetry will be the hot contemporary look. </span><span>She
explained, “This is a very timeless look and there are an amazing array
of colors to choose from especially with brands like Farrow and Ball.”</span><br />
<span>In terms of hardware, Highlyann Krasnow of The Design High loves p</span><span>ewter
and gunmetal right now. “It’s not as harsh as matte black or specific
as brass or gold, but it gives fixtures some texture and depth.”</span><br />
But not all cabinetry will need handles and pulls. Sara Ianniciello of Whitehall Interiors says
we will see upper kitchen cabinets replaced with metal, wood or glass
shelving. “Inspired by hotel and retail spaces, this adds to the overall
bold statements that many people want to make in their homes, forgoing
the minimalism that was popular in years past.”<br />

<span class="s1">Colors are big and bold this year, especially in the kitchen. Appliances are a great way to add a pop, according to Orion Creamer, Founder of <span class="s2" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://bigchill.com/">Big Chill</span>.
“Bold, splashy colors tend to overwhelm, but when combined with a
neutral palette in the same temperature range, they create a unique
style that wows. Depending on where your home is located, you can get
away with incorporating complementary colors. For example, if you live
in a more southern, coastal area, a cool color such as a light blue or
teal may look nice paired with a bold coral-colored appliance.”</span></div>

<span class="s1">Interior Designer <span class="s2" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:http://www.lisagilmoredesign.com/">Lisa Gilmore</span> </span><span class="s3">says
the shift away from grey tones will mean more color saturation. “For a

<div class="p1">
<span class="s3">Another great example of this look<span class="Apple-converted-space"> is </span>using
one color monochromatically. Designer David Stark explained, “Going

<span class="s1">According to Angie Lee of <span class="s2" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:http://www.fxcollaborative.com/">FXCollaborative</span>,
biophilia will be a big trend this year. “Biophilia is a design driver
that engages the end user by connecting them to primal instincts about
the relationship between humans and nature. When done properly, we are
calmed by the sight of greenery in the form of live plants and living
walls, the sight, and sound of water, access to views of natural
settings, and tactile organic materials such as wood and stone.”</span></div>

<span class="s1">She added, “Designing authentic biophilic

Velvet and other rich textiles will be more prominent than they've

especially during the colder seasons. Krissa Wichser, interior designer
and owner of the home decor store The Blue Octagon

old-fashioned but it’s now seen as luxurious and comfortable. I also see
more and more color coming back into homes—bolder, richer and

The colors you choose to incorporate into both the interior and
exterior design of your house can affect the atmosphere of its
environment. From the walls to the accessories, color sets the mood for
each room. You want your home to have an overall design aesthetic such
as traditional, modern, or coastal. Each room of your house can be
decorated to adhere to your overall design or have a unique ambiance all
its own that has reflections of the rest of your home. Choosing design
colors for each room can seem like a daunting task. There are so many to
choose from, and the ideas on where and how to use them are endless.
Recommended colors for interior design are often based not only on what the room is used for but also what mood you want for that area.<br />
<h2>
<strong>Influence of colors on mood<a name='more'></a></strong></h2>
When you think of a color, it often brings to mind a distinct
feeling. Not everyone will experience the same emotion when looking at a
color. Perception is subjective. Colors can also have different
connotations in different cultures. Some colors do have universal themes
such as tones in the red spectrum including red, orange, and yellow are
considered warm. Those in the blue array are deemed cool. These include
blue, purple, and green.<br />
The hue of a color can be saturated and bright. Saturated colors
are the intensity of the shade. The less saturated a color is, the
grayer it will appear. Brightness is how light a color is. When painting
a room consider the intensity of the color. A more saturated, darker
tone will make a room appear smaller, cozier. The use of brighter colors
can make a small room feel larger.<br />
<h2>
Recommend Colors for Rooms</h2>
Colors are traditionally used in home design in certain rooms for a
reason. They depict the moods and atmosphere most suitable for the use
of the area. Here are a few of our recommended colors for various rooms
in your home.<br />
The <strong>kitchen</strong> tends to be the place where people
gather for conversations and connection. The room has aromatic smells,
and colorful, delicious foods. One of the traditional colors for
kitchens is yellow, making the space bright and happy. Red is associated
with increased appetite. A vibrant color, it’s an excellent choice for
backsplashes and accessories. Green is an earthy, organic color that
brings in the outdoors. Soft blues and whites bring in a beachy feel,
giving the space a relaxed vibe. Navy blue and bright white create a
nautical atmosphere.<br />
With open-concept homes, the <strong>dining room</strong> has become
an extension of the kitchen. The dining room décor is usually cohesive
with the kitchen area and in some cases right into the living room.
Adding pops of color to accentuate the design can give the space its own
vibe. A separate area for a dining room can have its own design
elements. Blues are a traditional color, with dark blues creating a
majestic ambiance, and lighter blues a more casual tone. Greens hues can
be cheerful and help bring out lively conversations. Beige tones are
serene. For a dramatic look and feel use rich reds in the design. Black
gives a dining room a glamorous and inviting feel.<br />
For your <strong>bedroom</strong>, you want calming tones and
sleep-inducing surroundings. Soft blues and greens are tranquil colors.
To add more of a cozy feel use golden hues of yellows, browns, and warm
beiges. For a romantic atmosphere, blush pinks, creamy whites, and
neutrals work well. Although red may be too bold a color for a bedroom,
accessorizing with darker reds can help create a romantic ambiance.
To add sophistication to your bedroom decor include tones of black,
gray, brown, and silver. Add bright hues to accentuate the color scheme.<br />
The<strong> living room </strong>is another communal area. Its
purpose is for relaxation, comfort, and togetherness. The most popular
color for living rooms is gray. It gives the space an elegant and serene
feel. Blue is considered most people’s favorite color. In the living
room, it has a grounding effect. Beige tones are the go-to colors
for many living room designs. It has a minimalistic look that is
classic and goes well with almost any accent color. Bring in a touch of
nature with the color green, and embrace a sense of harmony. Black walls
or flooring give boldness to the room.<br />
<strong>Bathrooms</strong> can either be private master retreats or
used by the entire family. Blue is a favorite color for bathrooms. It’s
the color of water and sky and creates a sense of serenity. Other colors
to consider, include white for a feeling of purity and cleanliness,
lavender for a sense of calm, and pink for an ambiance of luxury,
softness, and femininity.<br />
When planning the interior design elements in your home, consider how
color can create different moods to establish the atmosphere you want
for each room.<span class="byline__wrapper--3vOJH"><span class="byline__title--3Gvbe"> </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A wallpaper is a style
of material that is used to beautify, cover, and decorate inner walls of
offices, entertainment building, homes, and other buildings. Wallpaper
is one of the attributes of interior beautification. Owing to its wide
range of characteristics that cannot be compared with other interior
wall covering and decoration materials, such as color diversity,
environment protection, rich patterns, appropriate price, and convenient
installation, wallpaper has gained significant adoption among customers
across the world.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Growth of the real estate primarily
fuels the demand for wallpaper. Convenience of installation and
durability in contrast to the conventional wall decoration methods, for
instance, wall painting, drive the demand for wallpaper. Moreover,
wallpaper can cover flaws in the wall. Lack of harmful substances, such
as lead, in wallpaper also drives the market. Moreover, innovative and
technological advancements across several industries, including
residential and non-residential construction, are estimated to drive the
global <strong>wallpaper market</strong>
during the forecast period. Rising demand for green buildings and
increasing investments in infrastructure development projects in
developing economies are projected to create growth opportunities for
the wallpaper market in these countries in the near future.
Additionally, factors such as growing awareness, rising standards of
living, increasing disposable income, rapid urbanization, and
technological innovations in developing countries are anticipated to
fuel the global wallpaper market during the forecast period.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The global wallpaper market can be
classified based on product type, wall covering type, installation, room
type, end-user, and distribution channel. In terms of product type, the
market can be segmented into vinyl-based wallpaper, non-woven
wallpaper, pure-paper-type wallpaper, fiber-type wallpaper, and others.
Based on wall covering, the market can be divided into 3D wall covering,
natural wall covering, and others. Based on installation, the market
can be divided into paste the paper, paste the wall, and pre-pasted. In
terms of room type, the global wallpaper market can be segmented into
bedroom, kitchen & bathroom, living room, office area, and others.
Additionally, based on end-user, the wallpaper market can be categorized
into residential and commercial. The commercial segment can be
sub-divided into administrative, entertainment, and others. In terms of
distribution channel, the market can be segmented into online and
offline.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Based on region, the global wallpaper
market can be classified into North America (NA), Europe (EU), Asia
Pacific (APAC), Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South America (SA).
North America comprises the U.S., Canada, and Rest of North America.
Europe includes the U.K., Germany, France, and Rest of Europe.
Similarly, Asia Pacific includes India, China, Japan, Australia, and
Rest of Asia Pacific. Middle East & Africa comprises GCC, South
Africa, and Rest of Middle East & Africa. The South America
wallpaper market includes Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Rest of South
America. The wallpaper market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand
rapidly during the forecast period. With the rising population, the
demand for building, construction, and infrastructure in Asia Pacific is
also rising. This is leading to rising foreign investments in the Asia
Pacific market, with its growing residential and non-residential
construction sectors. This, in turn, is likely to drive the market in
the region during the forecast period.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

the global wallpaper market Laura Ashley, SEO Corporation Pvt. Ltd.

<br />
<img alt="" class="alignright size-large wp-image-6413" height="225" src="http://design-middleeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Crave-Worthy-Colour-Palettes_Sedar-Global-Interiors-full-credits-upon-request-1100x619.png" width="400" /><br />
Here
are top five inspiring interior trends that are set to overstay the
season. From a complete makeover of a space to ways to add elements to
update an existing décor, here’s a complete guide on key colours,
textures, stylistic details, and curtain or blind finishes.<br />
<em>By <strong>Nahel Selo,</strong> creative director, Sedar Global<br />
</em><br />
<strong>Crave-worthy colour palettes<br />
</strong>Colour experts Pantone are always looking ahead and selected
two key colour palettes specifically for housewares and interior design
for 2019. Returning to colours that engage and stimulate beyond the
surface, work the “Cravings” palette into your home this Autumn, taking
inspiration from the plate. Creating a space that is tempting for the
eye designing a warm and memorable sensory experience. Using neutral
walls and flooring work in accessories and eclectic colour block
furnishings in shades of spicy reds, sweet flamingo orange, and jewel
greens. Curtains do not just need to be for the window only but can work
as a great way to inject colour into a space and as a wall decoration
or artwork frame.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<strong>Go global</strong><br />
Continuing on from last season, this trend is a celebration of globally
inspired patterns and textures. Taking your home on a journey, rich
earthy pigments are thrown together offering a fusion of rugged textures
with subtle details of woven finishes, tassels and poms infused into
everything from the blind trims, to cushions and throws. To achieve the
this look, work with powdered clays and mustard touches. Celebrating the
beauty of imperfect finishes and effortlessly stylish this trend is an
easy one to recreate with accessories alone. Offering a relaxed and
homely feel.<br />
<strong> <img alt="" class="alignright size-large wp-image-6414" height="266" src="http://design-middleeast.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/New-Art-Deco_Sedar-Global-Interiors-full-credits-upon-request-1100x733.png" width="400" /> </strong><br />
<strong>New art deco</strong><br />
One of the most inspiring, opulent and glamorous periods in home décor
history, hints of Art Deco are popping up in detailing on tables,
chairs, lighting and the mixed metals trend which also gives a nod to
this style. Work this decadent look into your home with velvet detail
dusky rose Marco Polo curtains and cushions, mixed with minimalist
lighting, marble and finishes and a statement one-wall wallpaper design.<br />
<strong>Sustainable and natural materials</strong><br />
Hitting the mainstream across homes sustainable and natural fabrics are
becoming key to conversation when considering interiors. Moving towards
natural fabrics speaks to broader conversations across design right now
and creates a finish that embraces a peaceful retreat away from the
business of modern life. From Hamptons to Boho, French country and
Scandi there are many styles and looks where use of natural and
sustainable fabrics works. Wooden venetian blinds or French style
shutters are a must for this look not only are they durable but also
create a light and airy feel to any space.<br />
<strong>Matt black is the new grey</strong><br />
Create a sense of drama with black. Expect to see bold, high-contrast
designs everywhere this season as matt black moves from fashion and
beauty into homewares and interiors. Lighting, seating, home decor
objects and sideboards are all key pieces you can introduce to reference
the trend. Or update a space keeping the room neutral with white, putty
hues and matching camouflage style curtains, adding drama through black
furniture, pillows, and throws. A look with staying power and will be
with us for a long time due to its contemporary but classic feel.<br />

The UAE's interior and fit-out market is set to witness a steady
growth in the coming years, driven by new and renovation projects across
the residential sector and hospitality, experts said.<br />
"There are
multiple factors driving growth in the interiors and fit-out sector in
the UAE," said Amit Yadav, head of Marketing at 2XL Furniture &
Home Dcor. "New residential projects are most certainly one of the
biggest reasons given the scale of construction in the country. This
segment is going to gain further momentum, with many of the projects
reaching completion in preparation for Dubai Expo 2020. Refurbishments
also continue to be a key demand driver in the industry and is very
significant in terms of soft furnishings."<br />
According to data by
Ventures Onsite, the interior fit-out market in the UAE is one of the
GCC's fastest growing industries and is expected to be worth $973
million by 2022. Non-oil growth in the GCC is projected to rise from 3.3
per cent in 2019 to 3.5 per cent in 2020. Buoyant oil prices and a
strong resurgence in the GCC's economic growth prospects are expected to
fuel renewed growth across the region's construction industry. The GCC
region's construction sector is tipped to see a 12 per cent year-on-year
rise in the value of new contractor project awards in 2019.<br />
Furthermore,
the GCC building construction projects expected to be completed across
all sectors are forecast to be worth $74.97 billion in 2019. The overall
GCC interior contracting and fit-out spend across all sectors is
expected to be worth $9.4 billion in 2019.<br />
Raneesh Mundon, project
manager at ECC Renovations, said that the interior fit-out market for
the residential sector in the UAE is steadily growing, and is expected
to become the largest, surpassing the hotel and commercial sectors. "Our
business model has evolved to cater to this booming segment that makes
up for Dh1.2 billion of the total UAE interior fit-out market, which is
expected to be worth Dh3.5 billion in 2022."<br />
Ammar Hayani,
managing director of Porcelanosa Dubai, noted that the UAE, being a
cosmopolitan country with residents from over 200 nationalities, boasts
an interior design sector is deeply influenced by worldwide trends. "The
UAE is an example of a modern pioneer country with emblematic projects
being launched regularly with astonishing interior design requirements.
As the population in the country is growing, more residential projects
are being launched, which directly impacts the growth of the interiors
and fit-out sector."<br />
Like Yadav, he identified a rapid growth in
the renovations sector. "Whatever was trendy four to five years ago
might not be in line with the current design tendencies. Moreover, the
attractive prices in the real estate sector in the UAE today have
encouraged many expatriates to buy property. Most of the freehold
projects have been built by massive developers that go for a standard
contemporary design approach. Many property owners are now renovating
these properties to fit their personal tastes and adapt to the current
fashion interior design styles. Furthermore, the UAE has many hotels to
accommodate the increasing number of tourists. In the hospitality
sector, renovation is required every 10-12 years, which leads to a
growth of in the renovations sector."<br />

Experts have predicted that,
in 2019, the hotels sector is likely to surpass the residential sector
in interior design and fit-out spend. According to STR, the GCC is
expecting an additional 58,000 keys to enter the market in 2019. With
mega events such as Dubai Expo 2020 drawing near, developers and
consultants are focusing on providing high-quality refurbishments to
their existing hotels projects.<br />
At 39 per cent, the UAE is
spearheading the share of interiors and fit-out spend in the GCC region.
State spending is expected to total $15.5 billion in 2019. Expenditure
on the health, education, and housing sectors represent 33 per cent of
the total 2019 budget. In terms of growth, according to Dubai Design and
Fashion Council, projections for the UAE design market is expected to
reach $36 billion by 2019.<br />
When it comes to design trends, Hayani
revealed that UAE nationals and residents are frequent travellers, who
are exposed to international design trends. "Tendencies are moving
rapidly and social media has led to a speedy propagation of the latest
trends. In previous years, what was launched in Europe, took a couple of
years to reflect in this region; however, when new trends are launched
today, we get inquiries in a matter of weeks."<br />
Sharing his
thoughts on furniture and room decor trends, Yadav said: "Furniture
being a lifestyle segment is an emotional purchase for most people
because it evokes a feeling of comfort, style, status, and togetherness.
Quality, design, uniqueness all are important considerations when
people buy furniture, and we are witnessing a growing trend towards
people refreshing their homes faster than they used to - similar to the
fashion industry. More and more people are getting design conscious and
like their homes to be more engaging with seasonal upgrades. Also,
similar to any other consumer segment, brand appeal is an important
aspect of the whole process and this is why the number of return buyers
are significantly high." <a href="https://menafn.com/1098744197/UAE-Home-is-where-the-decor-is-to-your-taste" target="_blank">Source.</a> </div>

Birds
of a feather,” as the saying goes, “flock together.” But when opposites
attract, the relationship can be downright electrifying. AD100 interior
designer <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/brandolini-makes-a-bold-choice-mixing-pattern-and-color">Muriel Brandolini</a>—an
ardent enthusiast of arresting colors and madcap patterns—couldn’t be
more different in temperament from one of her longtime New York clients,
a cerebral, business-minded woman who initially discovered Brandolini’s
work in a magazine and picked up the telephone. “I’m a very analytical,
linear thinker,” says the client, who asked the Manhattan-based
decorator to revitalize an Upper West Side apartment she and her husband
had bought a few years ago. “Muriel leads with passion and feeling. I
wanted to ask questions, and she would just say, ‘It’s beautiful. I
can’t tell you why it will work, but it will.’ ”<br />
<div class="callout standard inset-left" data-type="callout">

The
couple’s duplex apartment, on high floors in a handsome prewar redbrick
building—boldface residents have included Harrison Ford and Georgina
Bloomberg—boasted fantastic views and abundant light. Darkness, in fact,
was the primary reason they vacated their previous Brandolini-designed
apartment, which they had shared with their children for 15 years. But
the rooms in the new place generally were small (except for the
sprawling second-story master bedroom), and the coffered ceilings
throughout, while classically elegant, were low. The clients considered
undertaking a major renovation—to take down some walls and better
reconfigure the spaces—but ultimately chose a more cosmetic approach.
“The interiors were very traditional and not really our style—we prefer
things more modern,” explains the wife, who, with her husband, has a
strong collection of art, including works by Agnes Martin, Milton Avery,
Fay Ray, and Caio Fonseca. “But we thought we could make it distinctive
with Muriel.”<br />

Bold, eclectic interiors are the
calling card of the designer, the daughter of a French-Venezuelan mother
and a Vietnamese father. She was raised in Saigon and then on
Martinique, studied fashion in Paris, and married a debonair Italian
financier, Nuno Brandolini. She didn’t train to be a decorator, so she’s
not beholden to some set formula about furniture placement or how high
artworks should hang on a wall. She does, however, have a prescription
for rooms lacking volume: “When a ceiling is low, if you don’t create
busyness, you see misery.”<br />
<div data-cne-interlude="" id="cne-interlude-1">

<figure class="cne-interlude-container"> <a class="cne-interlude-title-link" href="http://video.architecturaldigest.com/watch/open-door-wiz-khalifa-house-tour" target="_blank"></a></figure></div>
</div>
One
thing decorator and client do have in common is an allergy to beige,
monochromatic interiors. “My husband and I like things to be interesting
and energetic. We like furniture and design that make you think,” says
the wife. In her office/guest bedroom, one wall is covered in red felt,
another in a large leaf-pattern print, and the bedspread is a busy
stripe. Matchy-matchy it is not. The husband’s office features three
different corduroy wall coverings, and the moldings have three shades of
paint, while a lemon-yellow quilted wall cocoons that massive master
bedroom. And forget about making the dining room’s four decorative
columns, installed by previous owners, disappear by, say, painting them
the same bronze color as the walls. Inspired by wood candlesticks she
had seen in Sri Lanka, Brandolini had each column painstakingly
hand-painted in stripes—every one a different width and hue. “If I
didn’t go for it enough with color, she would say, ‘Go for it more,’ ”
Brandolini recalls.<br />
For the couple’s first apartment
collaboration, the designer took her client to Milan to scour the design
boutiques and vintage shops. “She wanted to see every inch of the
city,” Brandolini remembers. “She was always, ‘What’s next? What’s
next?’ ” This time around the women dug deeper, visiting warehouses and
garages in Milan and Turin that held furnishings from 1900 through the
midcentury that would eventually get scooped up by dealers. They weren’t
shopping for expensive pieces, just ones with good bones—such as 1960s
floor lamps, a 1950s French desk—amid the broken chair legs and frayed
fabrics. “They’re common things that come from the grandmother, or an
uncle who has passed,” Brandolini says. “Italy is so secret. I go to
these dark, out-of-the-way warehouses and I wonder if I’m not going to
be murdered,” she observes with a laugh.<br />

But
it was while simply walking on a street in Milan that the two women
spied through the door of an architectural firm a 1960s light fixture
made of various white-glass shapes dangling at different lengths. It was
exactly what they wanted for the apartment’s central stairway. So they
entered the office, Brandolini negotiated with the owner, and a week
later it was on its way to New York.<br />
During the process the
husband had few requests, just that the seating be comfortable and the
apartment feel homey. “We wanted furniture that you could put coffee
cups on—not precious or delicate—and Muriel totally embraced that,” says
the wife. “I’m laughing,” she continues, “because my husband was not
very involved, and the decor would have ended up 80 percent the same
even if I wasn’t involved. This is how it works with Muriel. She
immerses herself in a project and moves very quickly. Yet she is very
deliberate. She trusts her eye, and we trusted it too.”</div>

Introducing yourself to a new crowd tends to be awkward at
times, particularly in the world of design, but Australian furniture
brand SP01 has made it look easy with the launch of its minimal,
hand-finished furniture that combines the best of Australian design with
the tried-and-true quality of Italian craftsmanship.<br />
Despite its relatively young years - originally founded in 2016 -
SP01 Design is a fresh and contemporary influence in modern design
thanks to its understated furniture that is at home in a beachside
terrace as much as in a London townhouse. By focussing on rigorous
design and honest materials, SPO1 Design’s furniture evokes an air of
assured Scandinavian minimalism like a lot of contemporary furniture
brands out there, but unlike the others, its collections can work
anywhere in the house. Quite literally. <a href="https://www.opumo.com/magazine/sp01-design-where-italian-design-meets-australian-spirit" target="_blank">source</a><br />

SP01’s latest collection of contemporary furniture ranging from
metal chairs, tables and stools were designed to withstand the
Australian outdoors but have been designed to suit any minimal home too.
Its full sculptural shapes and geometric designs that you can build a
home around – safe in the knowledge that those pieces can mould to your
movements whether that’s in the dining room, living room or even the
patio. To illustrate the length, breadth and versatility of the latest
SP01 Design collection we’ve pulled together a few of the essential
pieces from the new furniture drop that has just landed online at OPUMO
this month.

<h1>
SP01 Black Chee Bar Stool</h1>
The SP01 Chee Stool, also available in the more patio-furniture-esque <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Chee Chair</span>,
is pretty much the epitome of how the brand’s designs successfully
operate both indoors and out. That’s because, the beautiful overlapping
wire frame comes together to create a striking geometric web that
supports the back and forms a seat that is both beautifully graphic and
supremely comfortable. A chair that can not only be used in both

<h1>
SP01 Black Marble Michelle Wall Mirror</h1>
The vision of SP01 is to progressively launch new products to create a
comprehensive collection of designer furniture, and for its latest
capsule collection in collaboration with Tim Rundle, the brand has
allowed the London-based designer free reign in creating his latest
designs. Rundle himself has described the collection as ‘possessing an
Antipodean design approach’, in the way it distils influences from
different eras and design traditions. The Michelle Wall Mirror is a case
in point. Made up of steel, smoked mirror and marble, the gracefully
shaped accessory is ideal for homes with limited-space as the adjustable
wall mirror can slot neatly into corners leaving a small footprint but
maximum impact.</div>

SP01 Fluted Glass / White Marble Mohana Coffee Table</h1>
Coffee Tables are great on multiple fronts. For one, they can anchor
any living space with its functional and detailed design, and two, they
can often evolve with any living space. Especially when they look as
good as this SP01 Design Mohana Coffee Table. Both functional and
thoughtfully detailed, the Mohana combines marble and glass into a
delicate fine gauge frame that gives each table its unique two levels
with contrasting surface materials. The unique design also means it can
be used in a variety of different ways including as a side, coffee or
bedside table, or on their own or grouped together. Everywhere,
basically.</div>

Anita and Simran Lal of Good Earth.</div>
The
toilet seat is often a place to ponder over life's big and small
dilemmas, but you know that you are sitting on one at a special place
when you inadvertently look up and find a slab of glass that's open to
sky, allowing the thick foliage and shimmery sun to peek into this
private space. We are at a farm in Delhi's Chattarpur area that luxury
retail brand Good Earth calls its office space and glass silos let in
ample light as young, energetic teams work hard on creating the next
successful collection under the watchful eye of founder Anita Lal,, 70,
Creative Director, and her daughter Simran Lal,47, who has been the
brand's CEO since 2012.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The luxury home decor and lifestyle brand,
which was founded in 1996 by Anita Lal has, in the last 23 years, grown
to represent the changing idea of India and its historic past that
makes it what it is today. In a cluttered market where you need to
scream to be heard, Good Earth's way is to be slow, even languorous.
While the brand has captured the high end of the market and over the
years inspired a number of copycat brands, it is in no hurry to expand
at breakneck speed. With revenues of about Rs 150 crore in 2017, the
company is set to take things to the next level, both in terms of the
influence it wields and the people it reaches out to. The brand today
has ten stores across seven cities and ships to 90 countries.<br />
While
Good Earth is essentially a luxury home decor brand, over the last few
years their business has grown to include apparel under the label
Sustain. They also have a crockery range, linen, bedding, a children's
range, and wellness oils. More recently they also launched a historic
colouring book for adults and have commissioned stories for children
that are rooted in India.<br />
In
fact, Sustain, their clothes brand launched in 2010 has been a big money
spinner, overtaking the home decor segment soon after its launch. Many
have tried replicating the success of the dynamic brand but Anita Lal
had something that none of them do: first mover advantage. When she set
up her then fledgling business there was no one else who had the same
vision that was so deeply rooted in India (FabIndia was catering to a
different demographic) and so Lal tapped into a space that the brand has
come to occupy since, on the high end of the luxury home decor scale.
She says, "I'm okay with people copying us; they say imitation is the
greatest form of flattery. Our aim was to create a little movement that
people will copy and appreciate and the fact that our designs are being
copied and sold at cheaper prices means that there is a demand for our
aesthetic by different groups."<br />
<br />
<br />
While
AL, as Anita Lal likes to be called, says Good Earth happened to her
rather than the other way round, the fact remains that she had an
unmatched vision and had the means to convert that into a profitable
business venture, given that her husband's company Eicher put in the
seed capital for the business. In the 23 years since, Good Earth's
growth has been staggering and today, it is a global brand that is one
of the biggest ambassadors of Make in India.<br />

<div class="body_caption">

</div>
<b>INDIA PROUD, FOR THE WORLD </b><br />
The
brand has had its share of ups and downs but the mother-daughter duo
are unfazed, as they believe the strength of Good Earth lies in its
slow, sustained growth and the daily involvement of its founder in the
design process. Simran Lal says, "The best thing about Good Earth is
that it is authentic. We are deeply connected to what we do, believe in
it and want to do this. And thus, it is joyful with all its ups and
downs. At the end of the day we believe that what we do should have a
purpose so we work with a purpose of rebuilding a sense of pride and
respect in India." Anita Lal adds, "Our products should reflect our
roots but be equal, and at par, regarding quality, design and thought to
what one gets internationally. Indians should buy dinner ware that is
Indian but of international quality. I was keen to showcase Indian
products in a global style so the brand was born."<br />
The interesting
thing about a brand like Good Earth that has a founder who is a design
purist is that every collection delves deep into the roots of the
country's history and picks people, motifs and ideas that have largely
remained untouched, even gone unnoticed. For example, their Golconda
collection in 2011 celebrated the spirit of the Deccan and the arts and
crafts that were popular during the Golconda reign. It also paid special
tribute to the iconic Tipu Sultan through its designs. Similarly, the
2014-2015 Samarqand collection drew on the Central Asian Silk Route,
which also ran through India. From opulent ikat silk cushions to use of
fine embroidery, velvet, brocade and metal and crystal tableware, the
collection was evocative of the goods sold through the Silk Route.<br />

<div class="body_caption">

</div>
Unlike
a lot of other brands that are purely motivated by profits, the Good
Earth family has been more interested in changing the design narrative
and engaging with a deeper, more meaningful dialogue with its consumers.
AL says, "We strive to shape cultures in our day to day business. We
got copper jars back in vogue 15 years ago and made a story around it,
and now there is a profusion of copper vessels in the market. Back then,
we had seeded a little movement through that jar and suddenly they were
everywhere. We are all about shaping culture by seeding ideas. There is
something acceptable and aspirational when they see us putting a
traditional thing; they'll think it's cool. We need to accept the
heritage in a normal way."<br />
<b>SHAPING CULTURE THROUGH DESIGN</b><br />
<br />
The
designs at Good Earth stand out because they have become so distinct
across time that they are recognisable almost anywhere. Anita and Simran
Lal are all about bringing forgotten crafts and techniques back and
giving them a luxury platform without shortchanging the artisan in the
process. For example, they work with craftsmen in Bhuj. Gujarat,
Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh and several other craft-heavy zones as
well. They also made their way to Kashmir and gave a contemporary face
to the papier mache products that are popular here. Simran Lal says, "We
made the designs a little bolder, brighter, and more graphic because
earlier the craftsmen were losing eyesight doing such intricate work.
The bottom line is that if they go blind, they will not be able to pass
on their craft. Also, after working with us, they saw an increased
demand and this helped them sell more products, increasing their
security, respect and livelihood."<br />
For the brand, the maximum
emphasis is on quality and design but not to the level that is
detrimental to the craftsman or the craft itself. Anita Lal adds, "I'm
not saying that one has to achieve perfection. If you want perfection
why go to a person? He is not a machine and there will be errors. When I
say quality, it is in the detail and finish rather than the craft."<br />
<b>FROM IDEAS TO COLLECTION </b><br />
So
how does the design process at Good Earth unfold? While many of the
designers working with the brand were among its first employees, there
has been an infusion of new blood in recent years as well. While Simran
Lal handles the business side of things, Anita Lal still helms the
design process. She says, "every year we think of a theme which I
choose; last year was Van Vaibhav that meant forest. This year the theme
is Gandhara so the colours are deeper, with Greek and Persian
influences, and there are layers of cultures. We pick a theme and then I
do intense research before sending out a note to the girls who then
start collecting ideas and begin designing." AL is deeply inspired by
nature and travel and music also plays a key role in her creative
journey. The entire process takes them six-eight months and then that
vision is translated into the products that we see displayed in the
stores and online.<br />
<b>NEW VISTAS, NICOBAR</b><br />
Two
years ago, the brand decided that it wanted to expand its design
repertoire and since Raul Rai, director of Nicobar and Simran Lal's
husband wanted to take the business to a new level Nicobar was born.
With an aesthetic that's original but clearly from the Good Earth
stable, the younger, more versatile Nicobar shares the mother brand's
genes but has a different face since its designs are cleaner, more
efficient, shorn of motifs, more bohemian, invoking images of languor
and the sea. The travel accessories, apparel and homeware brand is
obsessed with quality and the stores (the first one was set up in Kala
Ghoda, Mumbai and there is a second at The Chanakya, Delhi) reflect the
travel instinct of the brand and has tropical palms, large display
windows and fluid lines that reflect an uncluttered aesthetic. Simran
says, "We wanted lovely, simple designs but knew we couldn't include
everything under a single brand. While the fundamentals are the same (to
tell Indian stories) we wanted to spin the yarn differently. We use
organic cotton for the core clothing and are for the mindful consumer."<br />
<b>THE NEXT CHAPTER </b><br />
A
family run business comes with its own unique set of challenges. AL
says, "everyone has a clear defined space and there are lows but we all
just get through it, to which Simran Lal adds, "we have had some
challenges and times when I have fought with mom. But we can trust each
other, and that is the best form of partnership." While store expansion
is on the cards, Good Earth has also amped up its digital presence and
you can buy online as they ship to 90 countries. AL began her Good Earth
journey with a pottery collection and we are likely to see a return of
some of that old-style pottery in their Gandhara collection to be
unveiled later this year. The brand is also launching a new baby titled
Paro over the next few weeks which is a luxury wellness vertical that
draws on ancient philosophical thought and Indian heritage through its
products. Having carved a space in the hearts and minds of all design
lovers and with an international clientele that laps up its collections
as soon as they launch, the Good Earth family is ready to embark on its
next big adventure, intersecting design, wellness, Indian philosophy,
and culture, all with an innate Indianness at its core. <a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/supplements/spice/story/20180813-we-want-to-shape-culture-1304365-2018-08-03" target="_blank">source</a></div>

<h4>
<b>2. Blue Heaven</b></h4>
Blue is in this
year, and many designers and collectors are taking advantage of the
situation by adding the color in bedrooms, living areas, kitchens,
offices and elsewhere. Hoekstra mentions “Blue works well on a wide
variety of surfaces, from large porcelain urns to bedding and even wall
colors”.<br />

<br />
<h4>
<b>3. Light It Up</b></h4>
“Stylish lighting
can transform a room,” says Hoekstra. Lighting can certainly make a
difference in changing the way you and other people see your home. The
options are virtually endless for every room in your house, from
recessed in-ceiling lights to classic lanterns, innovative and unusual

<h4>
<b>4. Pillow Talk</b></h4>
Pillows
are more than just a comfortable place to lay your head at night; they
are among the most versatile aspects of designing a home, offering a
diversity of colors, textures, styles and shapes, and they can stand
alone or be easily coupled with each piece of furniture in your home.<br />

“You might choose hand-painted or brightly-colored
Turkish silk pillows,” Hoekstra says. “Regardless of which pillows you
decide on, they will create tremendous versatility.”<br />

<h4>
<b>5. Picture This</b></h4>
At
the end of the day, you can’t go wrong by adorning your walls with art.
Anything from landscapes to brilliantly-colored abstracts to
photography will work, just as long as what you hang on your walls
reflects your own personal taste. After all, it is your home.<br />
“Your
home should be very personal. You should make it yours, love it and be
proud of it,” says Hoekstra, who travels to France, Belgium and England,
as well to as to High Point, North Carolina, and Atlanta several times a
year in search of items for her clients.</div>

Ifirst became aware of the work of French
designer Henri Samuel in the mid-1980s, in what might be called his
robber baron phase. At that heady time in American social history there
were a few decorators from England and Europe working in New York for
very visible clients: Geoffrey Bennison had just performed miracles for
Guy and Marie-Hélène de Rothschild on East 66th Street, and Henri
Samuel and his project for Susan and John Gutfreund at 834 Fifth Avenue
were the talk of the town.</div>
<div class="body-text">
Before then the apotheosis of Reagan-era classical
style had been basically Georgian. Afterward a gap was bridged, and it
was said that Samuel’s work didn’t just evoke the past, it was as good
as anything in that past. Samuel delivered to the New World something
that was thought to be no longer possible: the authentic opulence of
another continent and another time.</div>

<span></span>Later I learned the missing pieces of
the Samuel story. This happened, as it often does, in the form of an
auction catalog. The Christie’s Monaco sale after his death in 1996
contained many avant-garde works of contemporary “art furniture,” as
well as pictures of his Paris apartment that were positively bohemian—
luxurious, yes, but very artistic. You must remember that this was
before that apartment was well known, and images were not just waiting
for you on the internet. One had to research, save magazines, connect
dots. It was a revelation how Samuel had lived at home, with
contemporary art and zany furniture, and it was hard to square this with
his work for the second Gilded Age. </div>
<div class="body-text">
Emily Evans Eerdmans’s new Rizzoli book, <em><a class="body-link" href="https://www.amazon.com/Henri-Samuel-Master-French-Interior/dp/0847861864?tag=townandcountry_auto-append-20&ascsubtag=[artid|10067.a.19421619[src|[ch|" target="_blank">Henri Samuel: Master of the French Interior</a></em>($75),
is a long time coming. Samuel’s reputation has been growing steadily,
and it’s amazing there has been no book until now. Which Samuel will you
like best? There is one for every era. He worked in many styles, but
what he stood for consistently was quality. Jacques Grange, who worked
for Samuel early in his career and wrote the foreword, described to me
an office environment that was very formal and hierarchical. But, he
added with great respect, “that is where I learned what quality is.”</div>
<div class="body-text">
Excerpted
here are passages that explore Samuel’s influence on younger designers
today; his collaborations with such artists as Balthus, Philippe
Hiquily, and Guy de Rougemont; and his work for American plutocrats like
the Gutfreunds (on Fifth Avenue) and Jerry Perenchio (in the house made
famous by the title sequence of <em>The Beverly Hillbillies</em>). If
you like what you see (and have had a good year), both properties are,
coincidentally and for the first time in decades, now for sale. But
start with the book.</div>
<div class="body-tip">
An excerpt from <em>Henri Samuel: Master of the French Interior </em>by Emily Evans Eerdmans</div>
<div class="body-dropcap">
Henri
Samuel mixed the contemporary with the classical to thrilling effect.
Throughout his career the decorator proclaimed there was no “Samuel
style” but that each project evolved from the client’s taste. “I
remember seeing images in the 1990s, in a Christie’s auction catalog, of
Henri Samuel’s iconoclastic Paris apartment,” says Delphine Krakoff of
Pamplemousse Design in New York City.</div>

Like Samuel she often pairs a classically
articulated room with experimental pieces, so that it looks as if it has
been furnished over time. “It was filled with artwork and furniture by
Balthus, Atlan, César, and Hiquily, combined with cutting-edge
contemporary as well as neoclassical design. I was taken by his
unexpected and fearless commitment to a unique vision, his understanding
of history and of design and architecture, without being constrained by
it. History is just a point of departure in his design process.”</div>

In 1970, after 25 years as head of the design firm Alavoine, Samuel began a new chapter in his career: Henri Samuel, <em>décorateur</em>.
He opened his own firm, prompted not by ambition or a desire to have
his name at the forefront but because Alavoine had finally closed its
doors. At 66 the designer was internationally acclaimed as a master of
French decoration, and kings of both countries and industry clamored for
his time. Samuel set up shop on the ground floor of his apartment
building at 83 Quai d’Orsay and maintained a small staff to oversee all
projects.</div>
<div class="body-text">
In addition to Madame Chaminade, his secretary, and
Jacqueline Lallemand, his accountant, there were Jacques Cayron and a
Monsieur Hanché, who were his design associates. There was also a
full-time draftsman. When Samuel moved to 118 Rue Faubourg
Saint-Honoré, around 1976, the staff worked out of a small office in
his apartment, where a minuscule stairway led up to a drawing studio.</div>
<div class="body-text">
“Pierre,
a tiny man who drew incredibly in the style of Louis XV, Louis XVI, and
Empire, drafted the plans for everyone,” recalled the architect
Christian Magot-Cuvrû, who began working with Samuel in the early
1980s. The work was intense, but the office was run with civility.</div>
<div class="body-text">
Every
day Samuel would have lunch at Maxim’s or Le Relais at the Plaza
Athénée, often dining with friends such as the Duchess of Windsor.
“Tea-time at Monsieur Samuel’s was very important. Around 4:30 p.m. his
majordomo would come to serve us tea, and it was during this moment of
pleasant relaxation when we spoke of everything and nothing for 30
minutes,” Magot-Cuvrû remembers.</div>

Working with such a prominent clientele called for absolute discretion. David Linker, a master <em>ébéniste</em>,
recalls that at the famous Cour de Varenne furniture restoration
workshop—where he worked exclusively on Samuel projects—one had to be
invited to purchase the important 18th-century items that passed through
the workshop, and it was understood that should the buyer want to
resell, he would do it through the Cour de Varenne. In this way
important, often royal, pieces could be tracked and their restoration
never compromised. When Linker or his colleagues helped deliver a piece
to a residence, they were never told the owner’s identity.</div>
<div class="body-text">
Samuel
patronized the same artisans repeatedly, so that they essentially
became an extension of his team and knew his preferences intimately. He
was very specific about color and was always on site to supervise the
mixing of colors, which could take hours before he was satisfied.
Laurence du Plessix, who worked in Samuel’s office from 1984 to ’87,
remembers Samuel’s dissatisfaction with a carpet that was too bright;
the decorator added dust to make it more subdued. If a molding wasn’t
exactly what he wanted, Samuel would have it remade, even at his own
expense.</div>
<div class="body-dropcap">
Thanks to his having restored the
Rothschilds’ famed Château de Ferrières in the 1950s, and having
worked at Versailles, Samuel was firmly established as a master of the
historical interior, as well as one of the most adept interpreters of <em>le goût Rothschild</em>,
which is what drew clients including Sisley founders Hubert and
Isabelle d’Ornano, Valentino Garavani, and other major Parisian
magnate-collectors to hire him, even as he started to be very much in
demand in the United States.</div>

In postwar America the “Louis Louis” look became de
rigueur among a certain high society set. By 1962 the fashion for
French design was so pronounced that decorator Billy Baldwin dubbed it
FFF (“Fine French Furniture”). This craze brought a branch of Maxim’s to
Chicago in December 1963; the opening included a Dior fashion show. To
faithfully reproduce the restaurant’s Belle Epoque interiors, the owners
sought out Henri Samuel.</div>
<div class="body-text">
Samuel was working
steadily in the U.S. by the 1960s. Jayne Wrightsman, one of New York’s
most distinguished proponents of FFF, began working with Samuel
following the retirement of her longtime decorator, Stéphane Boudin of
Jansen. Samuel’s later collaboration on the Wrightsman Galleries at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art secured his position as one of the world’s
most eminent interior designers, and his relationship with Wrightsman
would lead, years later, to one of his most notable projects: the
Gutfreund residence.</div>

The 1980s in New York were a heady time of
maximalist extravagance stoked by the roar of Wall Street. When Salomon
Brothers CEO John Gutfreund and his wife Susan moved to 834 Fifth Avenue
in 1987, the residence’s Henri Samuel interiors made a splash. <em>Women’s Wear Daily</em>
reported, “It’s the talk of New York, and one of those lucky few who
have sneaked a peek at Susan and John Gutfreund’s apartment says it is
the ‘most lavish and beautifully opulent’ home in the city, a place that
truly has the atmosphere of a house and not just a flat.”</div>
<div class="body-text">
Susan
had been introduced to Samuel by Wrightsman and soon became a cherished
client and pupil of the decorator. Samuel even guided the Gutfreunds in
their choice of domicile. He counseled against an Italianate townhouse
in favor of the 20-room apartment on the seventh and eighth floors of
834 Fifth, which was designed in 1929 by Rosario Candela. He
particularly approved of the large windows, which offered spectacular
views, even to seated guests, of Central Park.</div>
<div class="body-text">
Antiques purchased during the Gutfreunds’ travels
in Europe inspired the decoration of the winter garden room, which was
flooded by too much natural light to be the library, as originally
planned. Gilt trelliswork paneling made of resin gave the room both
order and fantasy.</div>
<div class="body-text">
With the assistance of
architect Thierry Despont, Samuel knocked out walls to create a
50-foot-long living room, laid the floors with parquet de Versailles,
and uncovered windows in the stairway to let more light in. Susan
remembered, “Henri would sit and stand in the room, observing the color
from all angles, in the bright morning light as well as in the
afternoon. He studied it by lamplight... He always came himself, never
sending an assistant. He was like a couturier, always fine-tuning
details.”</div>
<div class="body-text">
The dining room was furnished with a
suite of 18th-century white and Wedgwood-blue Adam-style furniture from
Jayne Wrightsman. The curtain design was also 18th-century, the pink
under-curtain fabric having been a gift to Susan from Karl Lagerfeld.
“Henri gave you the perfect base, like a couture dress that was sheer
perfection whether you added jewels or not,” says Susan, who is now an
interior designer in her own right.</div>
<div class="body-text">
After
visiting the Gutfreunds’ apartment, entertainment mogul Jerry Perenchio
decided Samuel was the ideal person to restore the property he had just
acquired in Los Angeles. The house’s exterior was famous for its use on
the 1960s television show T<em>he Beverly Hillbillies</em>. Designed by
architect Sumner Spaulding for Lynn Atkinson, who was the engineer of
Boulder Dam and who loved the Louis XV style, the limestone-clad
reinforced concrete residence, which featured a 150-foot-tall indoor
waterfall and a pipe organ, had taken five years to build. When the
house was finished in 1938, Atkinson’s wife Berenice took one look and
asked, “Who would ever live in a house like this?” The house sat empty
until it was sold in 1947 to Arnold Kirkeby, whose family sold the house
to Perenchio in ’86. Over time Perenchio added three contiguous lots to
the estate, which now amounts to 10 acres.</div>

<div class="vertical-ad right-rail-ad">
</div>
<div class="body-text">
Perenchio agreed to Samuel’s demand that
everything, even the slope of the roof, had to be redone in order to
achieve a “proper representation of an 18th-century château.” Over the
next five years the house was gutted, rebuilt, and decorated. Before the
south façade was rebuilt, a crew of 26 painted a full-size
trompe-l’oeil version of the elevation for the Perenchios to approve. To
find limestone that matched the original, Samuel and the Perenchios
flew by helicopter from quarry to quarry in France and then hired a
local couple to live on site to ensure that it was cut properly.</div>

The entrance hall was transformed with a new
staircase and a floor of limestone and black marble. The front and
interior wooden doors were replaced with glass ones, so that what had
been a dark space became a light-filled, welcoming one. The domed
plaster ceiling of the Morning Room proved to be one of the most
ambitious architectural features. Made in France in one piece, the
ceiling was too large to fit through the eight door of a 747—so it was
cut into sections for transport and reassembled on site.</div>

In November 1991 the Perenchios finally moved in.
“It was a wonderful adventure and one of the greatest learning
experiences of our lives,” Jerry said, “as this extraordinary artist
taught us and guided us for five years in the realization of our dream.”</div>

Samuel’s name is almost unknown to younger generations of American
designers. Brian J. McCarthy, who opened his New York office after years
of working for the esteemed Parish-Hadley, is one exception. “There’s
an order and structure to classical French rooms, and while Henri would
bring that order to them, there would be something that would shake it
and break it, and make it youthful,” he says. “There’s something so
smart about the way he decorated; it’s beyond timeless. If you recreated
one of Henri’s rooms, it would look as fresh today as it did then. To
me that speaks volumes about how great he was. He was a genius, pure and
simple.”</div>

Best in class 1France has been flying the French
decoration flag for centuries and while its classical styles are world
renowned it is also home to a wealth of contemporary capabilities. One
brand that manages to straddles its historic Hausmann past as well as
the decorative now is Roche Bobois, a household name that was born out
of two families joining forces in the 1960s and now has more than 250
stores worldwide. It has two core collections, a contemporary one that
features the work of designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Kenzo Takada
and Missoni Home; and Nouveaux Classiques, a more traditionally French
take on furniture. Pictured is a solid oak Chambre Eqop bed with
headboard, 180cm by 200cm, €5,200, ex mattress, deep buttoned
bergere-style chair, €2,740, four-drawer sideboard, €3,580, and Ispahan
floor lamp, €2,340, all available to order and there’s 15 per cent off all new orders until July 31st.

From its launch in 2012 La Chance,
a Paris-based design company that produces furniture, lighting,
accessories, rugs and wallpaper, has looked back to the art deco period,
a style born in France in 1925, and put a modern riff on this now
classic era. Many of its pieces have been much copied, in particular its
Bolt stool and Salute side tables – imitation being the greatest form
of flattery.</div>

Sorciere wall sconces have been
inspired by the ritual Ngil masks of the Fang tribe in Gabon and are
more like sculptures than mere illumination. Designed by Marta Bakowski
in 2016 the light diffuses through the perforations in the mask to
shines upward in a graphic but gentle fashion, changing personality
depending on the combination of colours, textures and perforated
patterns, which vary in each version. The plain black or white options
cost €395 each while the multiple-colour combinations cost €445 each to
order through Dún Laoghaire-based Lost Weekend.</div>

velvet, pictured, and can be ordered through Dunville Avenue-based CA

aluminum or black steel. Each light measures 18cm high and 10.5 cm
across and costs €217. </div>

<a href="https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/a20966760/christina-el-moussa-workout-routine-instagram/" target="_blank">Christina El Moussa</a> may still film <i>Flip Or Flop</i> with her <a href="https://www.housebeautiful.com/lifestyle/a22021206/christina-tarek-el-moussa-divorce-details/" target="_blank">ex-husband, Tarek</a>,
but that's not stopping her from striking out on her own. The HGTV star
recently closed on a $4.1 million house in Newport Beach, CA, taking it
on as her next big project — and the subject of the first episode of
her new solo series on the network, <i>Christina On The Coast</i>.<br />
Though
the show doesn't debut until early 2019, the Realtors behind the home —
Jonathon Curci and Scott Cappelli of First Team Real Estate — shared
some photos of the 4,870-square-foot space. It's too soon to tell how
Christina will renovate the space (she's hinted on Instagram that she's
been getting in touch with her boho side), but one thing's for sure:
It'll be 100 percent her vision. <br />
While the Yorba Linda home she
once shared with Tarek had a more European, ornate look, her Newport
Beach four-bedroom is sleek and transitional. "This home is certainly a
clean slate for Christina El Moussa," South Carolina real estate agent
Devon Jones Bisognani told <a href="https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/christina-el-moussa-buys-a-new-home/" target="_blank">Realtor.com</a>. "It seems more relaxed." <br />

Christina designed her kids' playroom with their favorite things
in mind: a long table for coloring and doing crafts, a tent filled with
their favorite toys, and row after row of books for story time. It
isn't a total departure from the rest of the house; keeping in
Christina's style, the walls, table, chairs, and rug are all a pale
gray.</div>

One thing both homes have in common — a massive, marble-topped
island. Christina's said she likes being able to pull up bar stools and
have breakfast as a family, so it's fitting this kitchen has the same
setup. </div>

The family room — and the open kitchen right next to it — were
the two places Christina spent most of her time in when she lived in
Yorba Linda. It featured a gigantic, L-shaped black leather sofa, a
large glass coffee table, and silver picture frames and candlesticks on
the mantel. More neutrals, more glam flourishes. <br />

Her new home also has a pool, but it wouldn't be surprising if
the star remodeled the backyard to become even more of an epic play land
for her kids to run around in. Cabana-style umbrellas are cool and all,
but it's hard to compete with waterfalls and a rock slide.</div>

<h3>
To kick-start our spotlight this month on fabrics and soft
furnishings, here are some of the hottest trends we are seeing at the
moment…</h3>
<b>1) Imperfection blends well</b><br />
It seems as if the ’70s are back this summer when it comes to colour
in interior design. Bright, loud accents can really help an interior
space to pop.<a href="http://www.rubelli.com/en/dominique-kieffer/"> Rubelli’s Kieffer collection</a>,
designed by Paola Navone, threads together a striking mix of strong
colours that are complete with the imperfection of lightweight fabrics.<br />

</div>
<b>2) Tactile textures</b><br />
According to MADE.com’s
team of top designers, 2018 is going to be the year of leather and
velvet. Patterned velvet is said to be this year’s fabric of choice for
many to create statement soft furnishings. Leather on the other hand is
billed to be hot in the guestrooms. Upholstered headboards, armchairs
and Chesterfield sofas help to create a rustic yet rich look and feel.<br />

<b>3) Keeping up with tradition</b><br />
With many designers working within heritage buildings to create a
modern hotel that gives an appropriate nod to the buildings past,
getting the balance right can be a challenge. Therefore, taking a
traditional stance in the soft furnishings can be the solution.<a href="http://arleyhouse.com/va-collections/"> Arley House has collaborated with the V&A</a>
to launch four designs from the museum’s archive, translated into new
colourways and textures onto soft rich velvet or classic cotton linen.<br />
Pagoda is from a wallpaper design by Frederick Vigers, an avant-garde
designer who won awards for his wallpaper designs. A romantic view of
the orient was a feature of both wallpaper and textile designs of the
period.<br />
Heraldic Birds features mythical birds and has been reinterpreted
into a furnishing fabric by Arley House. The pattern was originally
created in the 1880s as a wallpaper by Lewis F. Day, shortly after he
had helped found the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society and become the
Artistic Director of Turnbull & Stockdale, a Lancashire
textile-printing firm.<br />
Rolling Leaves is inspired by the original Athenian pattern that was
designed by Lewis F. Day in the 1880s and was intended for use as a
wallpaper. The motif of this range of scrolling leaves shows the
characteristic Arts and Crafts preference for stylised floral forms.<br />

</div>
<b>4) Collaborating with fashion trends</b><br />
Collaborations between architecture and fashion are strong in 2018
and can often lead to the creation of something totally new.This year,
it seems as if interior designers will take inspiration from men’s
fashion. <a href="http://dedar.com/">Dedar</a>
recently launched a collection that took its creative vision from men’s
shirts and ties. The long, bold stripes can replicated in curtains,
upholstered chairs and have even been spotted in the canopy at newly
opened The Academy, London.<br />
