The way these custom curtains wrap around the wood cabinet sink give this bathroom a very warm and cozy feeling. The pretty vanity mirror reigns solely on a silvery tone background.

The foyer is perhaps the most important part of the house when it comes to decorating. Our guests will have a good or bad ‘first impression’ of our style based on our foyer. Below are a few inspirations. Either your space is a hallway, a room or a single wall, I hope these images give you ideas on how to display a gracious entrance to welcome your guests.

Botanical prints can add freshness and life to a room. They go well with almost every decor style, adding a timeless touch. Although botanical prints are not too expensive the antique kinds can be pricier. I found this great website with incredible vintage prints with great resolution that you can download for free and print in any size you like. Enjoy




Below are some of the many selection.

Tastemaker is the word that best describes Kelly Wearstler. She is a real innovator. No two of her rooms have ever looked alike. She has an incredible talent and ability to create each space uniquely glamorous and luxurious, injecting colors and applying bigger than usual accessories while keeping them well balanced. Ever since I saw her fantastic work for the first time, I admire her modern approach to luxury-regency style. Nothing is simple about her interiors, and her style is the ultimate luxury image of glamour and distinction.

Jamie Drake interiors

Because beige is too easy and because a tremendous amount of character and sense of style is needed to accomplish some of his fantastic interiors, Jamie Drake is my number 5 innovator. “Where some see disparity, Drake sees semblance in line, pattern, spirit, or concept.” Interior Design. His interiors are full of colors, the more the merrier, coziness and texture. The use of modern furniture mixed with fantastic antiques and his greatest statement “color”, make his interiors astonishingly transitional.

“What’s really important to my work is injecting a sense of personality. I call it personality-plus design.” says Drake. Two main ingredients for success. His unique style is what have granted him important clients such as Mayor Bloomberg and Madonna. Drake keeps his interiors harmonious by using one to two colors in different shades and adding accents of contrasting colors. In the above room for instance, he used light green on the walls, striped curtains in a darker green, a tick striped green tablecloth with some blue in it to bring out the blue in the colorful art wall. Then he used the white chairs to make a statement and to probably brake with green and bring out some white from the art wall and chandelier shades. The ebony leather upholstery on the chairs keeps the attention on the gorgeous tablecloth fabric and art wall. We can see the same technique used in the blue room below. This time with two main colors, different patterns of blue and green were used to make the room fresher and more modern. The Turkish-inspired copper table is a very unexpected touch in a room covered with a very tropical sea grass wallpaper.

So many times have I heard how unappealing a purple sofa would be. That is probably before they see this room by Jamie Drake where purple is the canvas and the colors of the pigments used as well.

Not only for his marvelous interiors is Drake worthy of admiration but also for his great heart. “Volunteer work is something I’m truly committed to.”

A beautiful crystal chandelier can do to a room what the appropriate fashion accessory can do to an outfit. That often-underestimated chandelier can add that final touch to your room and infuse the mood you are looking for.  Chandeliers are considered ambient lighting, a technique that is used to illuminate that specific space and its close surroundings. Far are the days when this type of lighting was used only above our dining rooms or in our living rooms. Now-a-days we can see chandeliers in bathrooms, foyers and kitchens. Its openness and crystals make them a great alternative to add sophistication to a small space without compromising visual space. A chandelier’s versatility is endless; it can be used in traditional or modern rooms. In this first room below, designed by Tom Scheerer, blends effortlessly with the romantic mood.
