Interior Design & Decor

I was recently leafing through blog postings and was delighted to see an interview with a celebrated San Francisco interior design maven. She and I have never met, but I am sure that we would get on extremely well! Undoubtedly, her being Californian and I being a Londoner, we would have slightly different design perspectives, but I have to say that I absolutely adore her tailored and crisp interior design concepts. I love her bold colour splashes and her ability to combine the traditional with the very modern – it’s just the sort of thing we might see over here in an interior design concept for the reopening of a celebrated London restaurant!

The interior designer also talks about her “signature” design style, which incorporates classic white orchids and beautiful lambswool and angora throws. Personally, I feel that each of these provides additional visual interest that really punchlines fabulous interior design concepts, drawing the eye inwards and adding designer flair to the work. Of course, Californian interior designers don’t have to deal with the sometimes-dreary London weather in their designs, and so they can afford to include really daring styles of orchid container or throws in pure, vibrant colours that set off the California sunshine that so many clients enjoy.

Regardless of where interior designers practice, it is important to be able to notice the inspiration all around us, and we work hard to stay abreast of the latest trends while still preserving our signature interior design styles. Whether it be reading our favourite design magazines, or focussing on the many exciting interior design blogs that are available online. Also, practicing interior design in London gives me access to all sorts of new and exciting interior design concepts that come over from the continent. By contrast, I am sure Californian interior designers see all sorts of Asia-inspired themes thanks to being so much closer to countries like China, Japan and Malaysia.
