In my interior designs, I frequently use furniture with edges other than 90 degrees. I like the feeling of softness that comes from circles and ovals. Seems this is the hot trend in 2012 interior designs. Yes, circles are the hot design for the web (as in Google circles) and now interior design too. Softened corners invite rather than stiffen. Be it circular pillows, mirrors, chairs or tables, circles and ovals are friendly and approachable.

Consider such an easy transformation in your decorating and dramatically change the look and feeling of your space.  When selecting new furniture or accessories for your home, avoid the 90 degree angles of yesterday.  Play with round and oval shapes instead. How many circles can you find in fabrics, furniture and accessories in the photo below?

The ever gracious Suzanne Rheinstein shared stories on Tuesday at the Kravet Seattle showroom about her new collection for Lee Jofa. I love to design from a collected sensibility for my interior design projects and this exotic collection using antique textile inspirations is a winner for my clients. The exotic element is especially seen in the pattern “Indian Zag”.

An excellent example of sophisticated application of a textile in the photo below.

Known for her love of soft greens with yellow and gold overtones, this beautiful print captures movement and detail ~ perfect for draperies I think.

A stunning option for window treatments.

Instead of Thanksgiving in Seattle, this interior designer flew to be with family in California. It was a wonderful potluck gathering of friends, food and conversation. With a phone call order, a table, chairs, linens and goblets provided a solution for focusing on the celebration not the fuss. How easy is this? And inexpensive too….
