Photo by Eric Rorer While we adore all of our clients and the beautiful structures which we help fill and adorn, like a parent adores all of their children, this recent mid-century modern interior design project was a particular delight. This client, a smart, energetic, creative, happy person, a man who, in-person, presents as refined and understated — he wanted color. Lots of color. When we introduced some color, he wanted even more color: Bright pops; lively art. In fact, it started with the art. This new homeowner was shopping at SLATE ( https://slateart.net) for art one day… many people choose art as the finishing touches to an interior design project, however this man had not yet hired a designer. He mentioned his predicament to SLATE principal partner (and our dear partner in art sourcing) Danielle Fox, and she promptly referred him to us. At the time that we began our work, the client and his architect, Jack Backus, had finished up a massive remodel, a thoughtful and thorough update of the elegant, iconic mid-century structure (originally designed by Ratcliff & Ratcliff) for modern 21st-century living. And when we say, “the client and his architect” — we mean it. In his professional life, our client owns a metal fabrication company; given his skills and knowledge of engineering, build, and production, he elected to act as contractor on the project. His eye for metal and form made its way into some of our furniture selections, in particular the coffee table in the living room, fabricated and sold locally by Turtle and Hare. Color for miles: One of our favorite aspects of the project was the long hallway. By choosing to put nothing on the walls, and adorning the length of floor with an amazing, vibrant, patterned rug, we created a perfect venue. The rug stands out, drawing attention to the art on the floor. In fact, the rugs in each room were as thoughtfully selected for color and design as the art on the walls. In total, on this project, we designed and decorated the living room, family room, master bedroom, and back patio. (Visit www.lmbinteriors.com to view the complete portfolio of images.) While my design firm is known for our work with traditional and transitional architecture, and we love those projects, I think it is clear from this project that Modern is also our cup of tea. If you have a Modern house and are thinking about how to make it more vibrantly YOU, contact us for a consultation.

Trend Cottagecore Summer edition. Welcome to our Circeo holiday home! Imagine the sea in a room… The perfect inspiration in 5steps to furnish a beach house in a practical and stylish way! ?Colors: The perfect color palette recalls the shades of the sea. ⛵️Minimalist style: The old saying that less is more must become your mantra! Ornaments that recall the sea are welcome, but sparingly; to avoid the kitsch effect. ? Lightness: Eliminate the superfluous! Yes to linen, hemp and cotton. ?Materials inspired by the territory that resist humidity and saltiness. Elements in stone or porcelain, will absorb the heat. ?‍♀️Take your time! Create a chillin' corner with large cushions, read a book or listen to the recording of the sound of the waves..it’s so regenerating! ?? Benvenuti al Circeo! Immaginate il mare in una stanza… L’ispirazione perfetta in 5 steps per arredare una casa al mare in modo pratico e attento allo stile! ?Colori: La palette cromatica è quella che richiama le sfumature del mare. Un must have coloratissimo sono le maioliche in ceramica per vivacizzare una stanza total white. ⛵️Stile minimalista: L’antico adagio”less is more”qui deve diventare il tuo mantra! Il concetto di open space è perfetto per trasmettere un senso di libertà, gli ornamenti che richiamino il mare sono ben accetti, ma con parsimonia; per evitare l’effetto kitsch. Scegli mobili essenziali con pezzi unici e insoliti per dare un tocco personale all’ambiente. ?Leggerezza: Eliminare il superfluo! Sì a lino, canapa e cotone. Sostituire le tende pesanti con veli leggeri permetterà alla luce di entrare: Quanto è rilassante vedere le tende leggere muoversi con la lieve brezza del vento? ⛵️Materiali ispirati al territorio, alla natura e al mare. Materie prime che resistano all’umidità e alla salsedine, pavimenti pratici in gres, ceramica, cotto e pietra. Elementi in pietra o porcellanato, assorbiranno il calore, mantenendo la temperatura fresca. ?‍♀️Take your time! Crea un angolo chillin’ vicino a un punto luce naturale, uno spazio su misura per te, con grossi cuscini, rilassati leggendo un libro o ascoltando la registrazione del rumore delle onde..a dir poco rigenerante!
