“Textures in a home really turn it around. It’s like an herb; it adds some pizazz. To me, this room does all of that. You don’t need to use tons of colors to create a really cool space. What makes this room pop is the intriguing use of patterns against the white and black color palette.”
“I am obsessed with this kitchen. He put hammered metal with a gilded finish on all the kitchen cupboards. Most of us would never think to use this material there. It’s also a pretty restrained color palette. When you use fewer colors in a room you can be bold and less can go wrong.”
“In this room, she used marble tiles like wallpaper. I wish all of us could do that. The space overlooks the ocean. All of the furniture is designed low so when you sit down you see the ocean and feel like you’re on a ship’s deck.”
“This room plays with scale. You see the giant over-sized chair next to the giant over-sized plant next to the giant over-sized lamp. When you walk in you feel like you stepped into Alice in Wonderland. Using scale makes your space feel more intriguing in a clever way.”
“I think this is a really tantalizing bedroom. There’s some really clever touches like putting a glamorous 1950s wall light on the peeling, old brick wall. It gives such an interesting texture. What makes interior so interesting is the mixing and matching of surfaces.”
“It sounds like a no-brainer, but when you use serene colors in a space, the room feels so tranquil. She used few patterns in the room, but with all the contrasting textures, like the marble, the cowhide on the floor and the 1960s chairs on top, it doesn’t feel boring.”
