Western Interiors Magazine had a fantastic interview with Designer Windsor Smith that was particularly fascinating. Did you know she once was an antique dealer? A great knowledge of antiques is a foundation to great interior design. After all, many of the antiques are still some of the best furniture these days. Smith tells Western Interior that her own personal design and decorating is focused around elements of the past but recreated in a new way, as she describes her style as " I like the idea of a new vernacular pitched against classic sensibilites. Everything should feel like it is of the present but also has some kind of thread to history" as she tells Western Interiors magazine. She is not afraid of using punchy forbidden colors most people wouldn't dare touch such as dark navy she used in her kitchen, and toxic pink she splashed in her dining room. How does she pull it off? Her secret is to create a balance with white. She tells Western Interiors she is particularly inspired by the iconic designers from the 30's and 40's, and anything to do with Old Hollywood. Elsie De Wolfe, Slim Keith, Babe Paley she notes as particular designers she looks to for inspiration. This on fire designer has her own furniture collection, fabric collection and rug line. Can you believe she has kids too? Oh yes~......she can balance it all!
