Colorful Interiors

The September issue of House Beautiful features a 1930″s Long Island home with colorful interiors and dashes of Hollywood Regency and the Far East. The home owner really pushed for these interiors and I have say I love them all.

I’m loving the acid green walls in this living room designed by interior designer Catherine Brown Paterson

The home office is cheery with bright orange walls with upholstery in Trina Turk and Lilly Pulitzer fabrics for a vibrant vibe.

The dining room is striking with fuchsia chairs and draperies and the Clarence House Flower Quince wallpaper is to die for, love it!

The kitchen is bright with yellow touches as the kitchen cabinets offer a color break to ease the eye. Loving the bamboo ceiling light above the dining table and the bar-stools.

The powder room has a citrus-yellow wallpaper in a bamboo print. So pretty and fresh against the dark counter top.

The master bedroom is in a favorite color “aqua” I just can’t seem to tire of it and it makes me happy. I love the darker aqua colors within the room and the window treatment fabric.

Virtual Interior Design Services

When a client contacts me for my virtual interior design services I am able to work with them conveniently online through email. We work together on a specific room or space in their home and the outcome is similar to the example below. The client completes a design questionnaire from my website and in return I design digital custom vision boards for their new space based off of their answers, room sizes and their favorite inspiration photos. I will also put together a Pinterest board or purchase list full of all the new selections made and if requested a floorplan. Today I’m sharing another example of a clients e-design concept for her dining room and entryway. She wanted a Rustic-Coastal design with lots of accessories. Her walls were already painted revere pewter gray by Benjamin Moore and already had a rustic dining table which we painted in white.

E-Decorating Services

Today I’m revealing a clients nook and family room online e-design. This Hampton/Coastal Style home has soft gray walls with white moldings and trims. She wanted a neutral palette and loves grays and blues. You’ll notice I designed two color options for the family room on the sectional, side chair and accent pillows. The space has a comfortable and chic coastal vibe that includes performance fabrics which are great for stains and spills.

THE NOOK & FAMILY ROOM

My client already owned the Crate and Barrel dining chairs so I worked around those to complete her nook area which is in between the kitchen and family room. This version shows the light gray sectional and ivory side chair option.

THE FAMILY ROOM

This version has the ivory sectional and light gray side chair as the other option. The window shades and area rug as well as the ottomans give texture to this space.

Spring Decorating Ideas: Florals

Pink, green and white give this living room an updated look for the season. The simple glass vases with gorgeous fuchsia rhododendrons and white apple blossom flowers are so pretty and fresh for spring.

In this dining room a variety of glass vases in different heights display the loose sprays of coral quince, pink cherry and white blossoms perfectly.

Create a bold place setting with bright napkins, gold flatware and flowers.

Style at Home

Don’t forget your bedroom needs a little flower power too. A pop of color goes a long way and can give a nice balance to the darker hues in a room.
