<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe essence of an interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what\u2019s in or what\u2019s out. This is not an easy job.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDesign is a matter of balancing different needs and outlooks, practical and aesthetic, masculine and feminine, designer and client, dream and reality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cKeep things fresh with clean lines and lots of contemporary layers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDesign, refined and repeat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBut tomorrow, dawn will come the way I picture her, barefoot and disheveled, standing outside my window in one of the fragile cotton dresses of the poor. She will look in at me with her thin arms extended, offering a handful of birdsong and a small cup of light.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIf you love something, it will work that\u2019s the only real rule.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI love eclectic interiors in the truest sense of the word: interiors that reflect individual interests, and a wide variety of styles, all brought together, in a personal non-formulaic mix, with an emphasis on quality and detail.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFrom a scientific standpoint, we are unique. There\u2019s only a handful of places, globally, that can do research as we do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cQuality design must have a sense of authenticity. My work is not cutting edge, it is not supposed to be, but sometimes, the middle of the road is the most dangerous place to walk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not just a conversation of yes and no, very well, thank you. I like when colors swear at each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe perfect amount of space between a mirror and the top of a mantel is 7.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI am a Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde from a creative point of view. I\u2019ve always had this duality of modernity and history.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI tried to make the graphic patterns as simple as possible and I focused on how we use wallpaper \u2013 \u00a0the size, the colors, the combination, and how we lay them out. I am fascinated by wallpaper and the difference it can make to a room. For example, how texture and reflections function in different light conditions, and what effects they can produce.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cGreat Design is all about the personality of the people who live there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEvery room needs a touch of black, just as it needs at least one antique piece.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cLuxury is when it seems flawless when you reach the right balance between all elements. Understated theatricality \u2013 \u00a0that is what my luxury is all about.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe concept of having staple pieces with clean, basic lines, and adding accessories to funk it all up is one that applies to both fashion and decorating. There are so many parallels.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDecorating is intimate and personal. As a designer, you have to be able to let go of your ego and design a personalized space that is going to reflect the people who live there.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cInterior design has always been for me a hybrid between fine art and applied art. I Think of interiors as a walk in still life, not unlike a painter who gathers objects on a table to paint, but more precisely chosen and arranged. Therefore I see the spaces in between and consequently, I am also concerned with that which you leave out\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe color palette is the same as the landscape. You feel as if your room \u2013 the inside and outside \u2013 come together is a natural way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA room should never allow the eye to settle in one place. It should smile at you and create fantasy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe advantage is that accessories, such as crystal and silver, can be displayed in a totally relevant way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s important that your personality be present in any place you frequent.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe design process is hard work, but in the end I want my interiors to look inspired and relaxed, not studied.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cLearn to look not just with your eyes but with your heart. Find the things that connect with you. How else will you know how to design your home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe mixture of weird textures and organic surfaces creates an interesting dialogue.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFear is the enemy of good design. don\u2019t hold back do it with gusto.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDesign is a tool that allows us to reach out and inspire, to touch others and help make lives magic and wonderful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI like all the chairs to talk to one another and to the sofas and not those parlor-car arrangements that create two Siberias.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA city in architectural marvel, a remarkable, work of art, a specific countryside: how can we know, really know, what it is without being there to experience it to the tips of our fingers?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMake sure furniture decor has a similar scale. It\u2019s all about scale, proportion, measuring, being conscious of the overall plan\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIf I see in nature I know it will work in a home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI like to set people free. I give them a hint to encourage them to go with their imaginations. It is the only way that new things can come true.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYour home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love brought together under one roof.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI believe every room speaks, tells you what to do it. you have to listen to that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cA stylish throw. A good quality throw can last a lifetime and adds a dash of color and pattern as well as comfort and homey quality\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHang curtain, they make a room seem finished. Think of them as the lipstick of decorating.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI always want to encourage young artists. As the budgets get smaller, that might provide an opening for younger artists and more experimentation. Budgets had gotten quite large for art, as they had for architecture. I\u2019m not going to cut back. The minute someone walks through my door, I go \u201cthat\u2019s my thing and you gotta let me do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou create your own decoration. You choose your color, you choose your mood. If you are depressed, you put some bright yellow and suddenly you\u2019re happy. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIn the seventeenth century, they dared everything,\u201d \u201cIts clean and simple architecture is still very modern today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSome say that in dress, fashions come back. But who has seen, of late, a crinoline make its way down a city avenue? It is the same in decoration. Fashions evolve, they don\u2019t repeat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI like the very simple and very strong, whatever the provenance I wouldn\u2019t buy a thonet chair simply because it\u2019s a thonet chair, I\u2019d buy it because I like the texture and the materials.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI believe in something becoming your signature that says to me that you are consistent and therefore loyal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThings needn\u2019t be expensive, but materials must exude honesty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cCountry is open roads, local produce, the warmth of the fire, relaxed aspirations, happy dogs, comfortable finishings, honest materials, a fabulous boat, and of course the casual, yet exuberant laughter of friends.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe most welcoming spaces are those that are interesting but not overpowering.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cGreat Design is really about refining the perfect balance between function & beauty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI design for longevity, and I want something to be anti-fashion\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen any color scheme is taken too seriously, it loses its power. You need to know when to pull back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI like a space to be beautiful, livable and always have a touch of the inexpensive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Between the balance of extravagant and elegance, we can see so many trends along the year we never know what is coming next. Today we bring a selection of color,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[16,626,352,627,413,10,543],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5418"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/trendesignbook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Albert-Hadley.jpg\")
