What is the inspiration behind your vignette?
I grew up watching Frasier and was always obsessed with his amazing Seattle condo. Still 20-something years later, this space barely feels dated and that’s primarily because it’s filled with beautiful classic pieces, minus that duct-tape-covered recliner. This space was very much inspired by that same timeless aesthetic that really is built around a handful of beautiful pieces that are given the space to shine. It would function just as wonderfully for a cocktail party of 20 with general conversation and break-off areas as it would for a night in with a brandy and a classic novel!
Any color or accessory that you absolutely had to include?
In this instance, I very intentionally kept the palate 100 percent neutral so that the focus was really built around the artwork and the other beautiful things that fill the space.
What are some challenging colors/textures/shapes you worked to include in your vignette?
I really wanted to have a blend of clean classic lines with very contemporary splashes. I also wanted to have a very clean aesthetic without letting the space feel at all cold. A thoughtful combination of textiles, tones and patterns blended all of these components together while keeping the feel very inviting.
How does your vignette speak to your personality?
This space really speaks to the energy I try to present to the world each day. It’s warm, inviting, classic and timeless; but it’s also just a little bizarre!
What is the inspiration b ehind your vignette?
Inspired by a vibrant traditional history, I wanted to bring rich textures and a classic aesthetic with bold fresh pops of color.
A traditional Pakistani rug with hot pink was a MUST have!
Layering dark charcoals and deep tones while still highlighting the details in the pieces was the biggest challenge.
Design should always be interesting and hopefully a little unconventional! Shown by my deep-seated love of the traditional, modernized with bold colors, my vignette reflects not only my personality but my personal living space. A space that makes you feel alive and at home when you walk in the door.
For my vignette inspiration, I happened across this very large scaled floral wallpaper, it speaks to my love of traditional and European aesthetics, and because of its oversized scale it felt really fun and fresh!
I love the backdrop of soft, but deeper neutral as a wall color for my rooms. In this vignette it allows the wallpaper to be the star of the show — offering creams, pinks, greens, and blues to add color and interest.
The challenging part of this room is keeping the traditional aspects I love, and balancing it with more modern pieces to keep it fresh and new feeling.
The fun part of designing the vignettes for this event is the ability to choose exactly what we want! This room is “me” because I love it when old meets new — formal meets relaxed, but always with whimsy and refinement!
I love to entertain at home – nothing is better than good friends, food, and wine! I was inspired to create a dream dining room that is perfect for hosting dinner parties.
Teal is my favorite go-to color! It really works with just about anything.
I wanted to showcase various dining room seating options in a cohesive way. My vignette will feature a settee, two host chairs, and side chairs.
I love playing with varying fabric combinations! My style in design is showing a beautiful mix of colors and patterns.
