The Curated Corner

As an interior designer, I love creating a story with vignettes.  I think every room should have some kind of  grouping that ideally consists of objects, art and lighting (lamp).  Introduce some character, warmth and drama by creating your own curated corner in your living space.  Approach the process as an art exhibit perhaps.  The key to a successful vignette is the combination of different textures, shapes, materials and objects that are tall, short, big and small.  Enjoy!

The Golden Mean

I often find myself having serious conversations with my clients and friends about the importance of vignettes, and the balance between tabletop accessories and wall art.  Hey!  this is a very important topic that brings out my passion!  It's all about layering- starting with the piece of furniture then adding objects of different heights and textures.  After the perfect combination of accessories (including lamps) are achieved or what I like to call the golden mean of accessorizing, you then want to add art work.  Often times I will work with the objects and art work together, moving them around until I feel I've reached the best aesthetically pleasing combination.  The table top accessories should work together with the art.  Wall art should never be floating weirdly above the pieces.  Always think "layer and stagger".   Below are some great examples of the golden mean of accessorizing.  Enjoy!

The Orange Box

The Hermes orange is my favorite color and was even as a child.  The boxes have always been a great way to add a punch of color to interiors.  I know this is old news now, but to be honest I'm in a rush today and wanted to post something!  So! should you happen to have an Hermes box kicking around somewhere, here are a couple ideas of how you can incorporate them into your own vignettes.  From a single box to an excessive amount!  Happy Tuesday.
