Thank you! It is amazing how a little swap of fabric and colors can infuse fresh life into a dated room. You wouldn't even have to paint the walls.

Absolutely, Lisa! In fact, it's something I've given a lot of thought to doing. Just need to figure out where I want to put down roots first. A strip mine, perhaps?

Re: Is There a Star in Your Bedroom?

"Star" in this case being the bed? Makes sense to me.

And dig the patterns in that contemporary suite. I love the picture over the bed and how it plays so well with the wall treatment. ;)

Re: What Does Interior Design and Fashion Week Have in Common?

Lisa M Smith — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 08:08:36 -0000

Thanks Jenn. I totally can't wait. I was into fashion way before design and with clients (female) it helps create a common language.

Re: The Interior Detail File is Your Best Friend

Brian Driggs — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:01:35 -0000

That's a neat idea. It's like an inspiration file.

A digital equivalent might be to create a Tumblr/Posterous, then simply snap pictures with your phone and email them off for future reference. Then it's accessible anywhere in the world.

Re: Interior Geometry Requires No Math

Lisa M Smith — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:16:00 -0000

Thanks for sharing Brian. Geometry is symmetry, but I get what you are saying. Now too much is too much and sometimes too drastic of contrast will cause a visual vibration which is unsettling.

Imagine a heavily patterned tile floor - even black & white check like in older bathrooms = completely geometric. However the thing with using it in carpet or a rug can require the rest of the patterns in the room to be fairly minimal and scale plays a big part. Use them where you like - hey that car interior winner @ Pebble Beach this year had vicious geometric patterned upholstery.

Thanks for visiting!

Interesting. I can see the subconscious calming effect from the predictability of the patterns, but I just can't get into it when it comes to rugs or carpeting. Wood? Tile? Totally, but the patterned carpet and rugs give me a feeling of tension.

There are, however, several elements pictured above which I really, really like. The window/wall treatments in the second Hicks picture bring a warmth to the space which is stimulating and calming at the same time. And that helicopter picture on the wall in the green room? Awesome. I'm also kinda digging the colored, carpeted (?) ceiling in that shot toward the end.

As much as my right brain enjoys textures and patterns, my left brain demands symmetry. :P

Re: Interior Design Tip to Start 2012

Lisa M Smith — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:57:21 -0000

Thanks for stopping by Michele. Of course I would say start 2012 with an interior designer - but I'm bias. :) No matter what interior project is on the horizon always start with a plan, plans come from research or hiring a designer (to do the research for you).
