The source of inspiration for our Hamptons
Interior Design and NYC Apartment Interior Design
projects usually comes from a playful pattern, a
paint color, or a fun piece of furniture. For
our most recent project one very close to my
heart the inspiration came from a beautiful art
piece, gifted to me (and created by!) my
daughter, and glass artist, Marlene Rose.

The piece, a Buddha sculpture made of hand-poured
cast glass, inspired the redesign of my homes
family room!

To carry the beautiful hues of chartreuse and
cobalt blue around the room, I selected a variety
of fabrics to re-upholster, and bring new life to
my existing pieces a sofa, bench, and two
swivel chairs. I chose to mix various textures
and prints to create visual interest, and
selected an overall neutral palette to elicit
feelings of calm and serenity much like the
Buddha! The piece also inspired the selection of
a fresh new area rug and paint color, as well as
wallpaper in the adjacent breakfast room and
kitchen.

I chose a fun chevron pattern to reupholster my
breakfast room chairs, and unify the two spaces.
While there are still some final decisions to be
made, here are a few sneak peeks of what Ive
selected so far!

In order for the art piece to serve as the focal
point of the room, I chose to display it front
and center on the re-designed mantle of my
fireplace. I decided to extend the mantle to
support the size and weight of the sculpture, and
added built-in spot lights to illuminate its
beautifully colored glass! As the walls in my
family room are quite high, I am also searching
for a fun, decorative mirror to hang above.
Mirrors are a great way to accessorize a space,
as their reflective quality adds light and
expands a room. Finishing touches for the room
will include new window treatments, decorative
pillows, and accessories!

Stay tuned for future updates! I cant wait to
share the progress with you! A special Thank You
to my daughter, Marlene, for creating such a
stunning piece! To see more of Marlenes work,
