To set a classic foundation for the Westover Place Project living room, I turned to British brand Oka. I've always admired their spunky-traditional style, and was excited to source a few of their most iconic designs for the first time: the best-selling Tarma armchair and the luxe Avitus linen sofa. I also included the bronze Opplyst nesting coffee tables in this design, sitting them on my Dede floral hand-knotted area rug. I love how the rug's pattern reflects the floral embroidered print on the armchair, which makes a cozy reading ..read more

In the world of architecture, the name Luis Barragán stands as a testament to the power of blending diverse influences to create something entirely unique. Born in 1902 in Guadalajara, Mexico, Barragán's architectural journey reflects a harmonious marriage of inspiration drawn from modernist masters like Le Corbusier and the profound influence of his childhood on a traditional Mexican ranch.

A sleek chrome etagere bookshelf by Bernhardt There's a surprising reason why silver is coming back into the limelight after being outshined by brass for the past five (or more) years. Color palettes in the past two years have swiftly shifted from the stark, cool grays of the 2010's to much warmer, yellow-toned colors. You can even see this shift in the color editing on photography in shelter magazines, which have become much warmer (also, darker and moodier) in color temperature. While brass can still be found in many of these spaces, nickel and chrome metals are starting t ..read more

It was such an honor to be included in the group of talented designers that Apartment Therapy brought together for their annual Small/Cool NYC event in Brooklyn. I had the opportunity to design a "Restful Retreat" with Serta, and put some of my very favorite small space decorating tricks to use in this small but mighty bedroom. My room was inspired by the color of the sky at dusk and the feeling of watching clouds pass overhead. Discover all of my home decor tips and all of the design details for this space below, and if you're local to New York you can view the space Thursday ..read more

I'm so excited to announce the release of a brand new rug design, the Cumulus Cloud Rug. This new design is made with a new handmade construction, Tibetan hand-knotted weave, which makes this rug super soft and dense with a lower pile than my tufted maze collection.
