| Through the Looking-Glass |

A room full of art is the best gift anyone can give me - so visiting Art Basel 2021 naturally made me feel like a kid in a candy store! This was one among my favorite installations there. I'll be sharing more of these in the coming weeks so keep an eye out!

Florida in the winter... not too shabby;)

I'm designing more of 332 Cocoanut units, and I can't wait to show it when it's done. Meanwhile, I got some gorgeous pics taken at the 332 Cocoanut Pool deck. It turns out the deck is an excellent photo backdrop!

Jealous of the Florida winters yet?

🔸 Less is more🔸 Sometimes simplicity

🔸 Less is more🔸

Sometimes simplicity is the best design choice for an interior. A less distracting space can bring out architectural features or materials, adding to the overall experience of a room.

To create a simple, meditative space, focus on the lighting, materials, and choosing each piece carefully. More than anything, consider if the design makes you feel peaceful in the room.

Minimal bedrooms can be very calming, especially when you wake up with morning sunlight.

In such rooms, I find that a peaceful ambience and soft colors with neutral shades work best. Even large furniture pieces almost disappear in light colors, creating an uninterrupted ocean of calm.

Of course, even minimal rooms need a pop of brightness - here it's brought by indoor plants. The large leaves of the palm and philodendron keep to the scale of the bedroom and add an organic touch.

If you have a neutral color palette in your hom

If you have a neutral color palette in your home, a few geometric prints can add dimension to the space.

◾ Geometric patterns on cushions and rugs are the easiest to use. These can be switched around to suit your creative side.

◽ Geometric wallpapers create an amazing backdrop against simple furniture pieces. Patterned floor tiles work the same way.

◾ Mix patterns with solid colors and soft furnishings. This keeps the lines in balance and makes the interior more interesting.

Concrete is a finish I rarely handle, so I was really excited to design this stairway with a combination of raw and polished surfaces. The natural textures add just the right amount of detail this space needs.

Instead of a painting, a light fixture felt more fitting here. The subtle glow adds depth while highlighting materials and making the area feel more open. What do you think?

Lighting is very important in interiors. All the little details and decor in your home can get completely lost without illumination 💡

I always add lighting to accent the pieces my clients love; a favorite bookshelf, painting, or plant. It draws focus and makes them more enjoyable. If you love to read, a well lit book case will make you happy!

Try this technique at home by adding some gentle accent lighting to your happy place. And if you're looking for unique lamps and fixtures, take a look at my lighting designs at ✨ bit.ly/rb-fld

A kitchen layout with exposed rafters at my latest project, 332 Cocoanut. Matching the cosmopolitan theme, I designed a modern setting in deep grays and whites with a galley concept. Polished chrome hardware and fittings blend right in with the appliances.

What is your favorite part of this design? Mine are the bar seating and dining table 😍

✨ Waking up in a beautiful bedroom is the best way to start your day!✨

When I decided to design this bedroom in black and white, I wanted to keep it stylish and also really comfortable. The challenge of a minimal palette is making it feel warm and cozy.

I added a lot of gray tones to soften the look of B&W and create a calming effect. Layering fabrics and using different textures also helped!

ABSTRACT

Abstract art is all about emotion, which is why I enjoy adding them to my interior designs. Abstract pieces a create different mood in each space, making them incredibly versatile. My only rule - the bigger the better!

Choosing artwork is an art! 😜 Here are some tips to help you find the best art piece for your oasis:

🔵 Decide on the sizes. A general rule of thumb for living rooms is to not have artworks bigger than 2/3rd of your sofa.

🔵 Start with the biggest pieces. This helps create a better sense of what the space looks like with the artwork. You can then select smaller pieces to fill a few key areas.

🔵 Lay out your gallery wall. If you're planning on a gallery wall, use pieces of paper to figure out the best layout for your wall.

🔵 Select pieces you love. This is extremely important when it comes to finding artworks. Look for pieces that speak to you, and ones which you'd love to keep for a long time.

Textures add depth to interior design. Imagine how boring a home without textures would be?

🔸 When you're shopping for furniture and furnishings, consider the textures as well as the design. You can even run over the materials with your hands to see how they feel.

🔸 Use the power of contrast to balance textures. Combine rough and coarse textures with soft and light ones and see how it changes the feel of the room.
