Wallpaper Designs That Have Been Talked About For Years

Admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 02:05:45 +0000

Tom Scheerer is one of America's favorite designers. His design style always sides on classic arrangements that are upscale with a comfortable approach. His work has appeared in the top design magazines such as Elle Décor, House & Garden, Architectural Digest, and House Beautiful, which includes him annually in its list of America's "Top 100" designers. After graduating with a degree in architecture, Scheerer formed a design partnership with now famous designer Jeffrey Bilhuber. It was no surprise that their interiors landed in every national magazine in America. Then in 1995, Scheerer formed his own Manhattan-based decorating firm, and since then has been tremendously successful.

He has always emphasized color and texture over purely decorative. Fussy furniture (Read More.....)

The World of Interiors magazine featured the breathtaking Ven House in their October 2011 issue. Jasper Conran has been working on the reformation of Ven House with the help of his great friend Edward Hurst. The magazine featured a fourteen-page feature interview which captured Jasper's journey over the last four years.

"If we had wanted strictly 18th century,’ says Jasper, ‘we would have ended up with a strange, uncomfortable building. I wanted a country house that looked like it had been lived in - a home, but with a quirky attitude to it.’

Admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:36:57 +0000

Clarence House is located in London in the city of Westminster. For over 50 years it was the residence of the Queen Mother and was also the official residence of H.R.H. Prince Charles and Camilla until 2009. The house was commissioned by William IV and built between 1825~ 1827 by John Nash

Decorating With Vintage Trunks

Admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:26:37 +0000

Don't discount a vintage trunk the next time you run across one in an antique or second hand store. Decorating with trunks presents limitless opportunities around your home. Almost every decorating photograph involving trunks shows Louis Vuitton trunks, but you don't have to limit yourself to name brand luggage. There has been countless times where I have run across great looking rustic slatted wood trunks with old fashioned leather straps. Other trunks are all brass plated, making them just like a piece of jewelery in your home. Often times these trunks aren't overly expensive. Ebay has a number of spectacular trunks which are very affordable, making it possible to collect a few to stack up tall on a small feature wall. The brass hardware on trunks make them irresistible to me. I love the trunks like the one below which feature a (Read More.....)

Regency Wall Decorating

Admin — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 00:45:42 +0000

The cover of the July /August Issue of Elle Decor featured a dramatic room with a wall covered in framed antique map prints. Most people have plain walls, not because they choose to, but rather because coordinating art prints can be challenging at times. If you enjoy the finer elements in life such as the sleekness of marble, the bright glitz of brass, and highly lacquered paint finishes, glass frames lining the wall will be right up your alley. Displaying antique prints in glass frames may be a way of adding that extra notch of dignified glamour to your home. World maps have a wide range of benefits that make them the perfect decorating solution compared to simple sketches and oil paintings. We give you three considerations that you cannot deny why framed maps make perfect sense for your (Read More.....)

Chinese lattice Wallpaper from Bob Collins

Wallpaper is a decorators best friend, as it is the quickest way of adding texture to a room without the legwork of painting. In addition, wallpaper does have some additional bonuses, - it conceals the worst of walls, such as what foundation make up does for the face. Lets face it, anyone can decorate a room with fabulous furniture and accessories, but it is the architectural details that really make a "great" room fabulous. Layering is the best secret of any designer.

Geometrical patterns on your walls can be achieved through wallpaper, free hand painting, taping or stencils that have been hand made. Painting can be laborious when considering a painted pattern on the wall. A complex pattern can take weeks to achieve depending on the skill of the painter, and the ornate details of the (Read More.....)

Hollywood Regency Textiles

The best way to define a space's style and direction is through fabric. If you want a designer feel to a room, invest in throw pillows, shower curtains, drapes, bedspreads, and throw blankets. Fabric pattern can speak volumes!

Trellis fabric is a popular choice with regency styled homes, along with greek elements are typical of regency styles. Fabric does make a difference to a successful professional decorated room.

Linen sofas are the perfect back drop to adding silk and shine. The wonderful contrast of a simple plain couch gives homeowners the opportunity to change the throw pillows over the years without having to invest in new furniture.

I would highly suggest buying a couch with natural earth colors, and jazzing it up with color with throws and accessories. The zebra cowhide rug here, adds more depth and pattern to the space. (Read More.....)
