Design 221.. Modern Eclectic Residence

For my final residential project I created a modern eclectic interior combining industrial, rustic and mid century modern elements.  Soft  hues of grey fill the house creating a warm and inviting interior.  Rustic wood is paired with dark irons and soft leathers.  Layering of textures and materials adds interest and luxury to the entire house.

The first floor, floor plan.  Wood floors mixed with stone floors create rich flooring through out the space.

 A perspective of the family room.  Dark trim is very industrial and modern at the same time and is a nice contrast against the light grey walls.  A painted brick fireplace blends in with warm grey hues.  Layered rugs of sisal and a wool shag rug (some of my great finds at High Point).  Leather and alpaca wool cover the surfaces of the furniture adding comfort and luxury to the family room.

The second floor, floor plan.  The same soft hues in greys and browns cover the floors.  

Elevations of the breakfast nook with reclaimed wood paneling covering the walls.  A grand chandelier created with sea glass hangs above a modern table.  The living room is lined with dark grey walls and a beautiful toucan artwork.

A great mixture of finishes and furniture create interest trough the house.  The look is clean and modern while still being comfy and unique.  I had a great time creating this space.

NEWH Trade Show

Yesterday I attended the NEWH trade show in Rockville, MD.  It was a much smaller show than KBIS but it was definitely not short on amazing innovative products.  This show concentrated on products in the hospitality industry. Compared to KBIS there were a lot more textile, tiles, and flooring displays and booths.  We were attracted to this one booth that specialized in leathers.  There are some very innovative things happening in the leather industry.  Leathers now come in any color of the rainbow and beyond, in any pattern you want and custom orders can be created so anything is possible.  The leather is sold as a textile but also as tiles and wall panels.  Change the way you think of leather.

Two leather samples both embossed with a alligator pattern.  The one on the bottom is covered in a protective layer that makes it extremely durable.  And it looks really cool and sleek.

This piece is a wall panel embossed in a basket weave pattern.  This panel is attached with a stronger version of velcroe. This allows for easy installation and redecoration.

A sampling of the different colors, finishes and patterns.

They also had sheep wools that can be applied in the same manners. 

It's great to see these materials used in new and innovative ways.  Now think of the possibilities for other materials and textiles! 

Be Inspired. Be Bold.
