Radiant Orchid Inspired Living Space

January 27, 2014

Radiant Orchid has been named the 2014 Color of the Year by Pantone (see my past post where I talk more about this vibrant color). I decided to come up with a mood board featuring different shades of this rich hue. I especially love this color paired with stark white, white lacquer, mirrored furniture and gray. 

Yay or nay?

Mixing Metallics

January 16, 2014

Using metallic in your home can create a timeless look that is beautiful and sophisticated. Working with DLT Interiors, we created monthly issues in Manhattan's Resident magazine. We focused on a different topic each month showing where to find items at a reasonable price compared to their higher priced look-a-likes. In the August 2013 issue we focused on metallics, which to me, can never go out of style. The best part is that you can mix metallics to create an eclectic look or stick with metallic finish throughout your space for a clean, cohesive look. I decided to create a mood board to show my love for metallics and how you can mix them in a balanced way. Hopefully this will inspire you to add a little metallic to your home whether it's a picture frame, vase or a new chandelier!

Coastal Living Space

January 15, 2014

I've been having an obsession over sea glass blue lately so I decided to create a mood board.  Not to mention Pantone's Hemlock is on their Spring 2014 Color Forecast which I didn't even know before creating this. When I think of sea glass, I think of the beach - so I decided to create a coastal living space with sea glass accents. I chose beachy yet modern furniture made with natural materials such as jute, burlap, linen and raffia which go really well with this color scheme. Now all I need is a beach house to decorate!
