What's Your Style?
People often ask Shannon and me what our favorite "style" is. And at the risk of sounding annoyingly diplomatic, it is hard for us to define one style that is our "favorite". I think why we feel so passionate about interiors, and exteriors...(and even clothing for that matter) is because we truly love and appreciate so many different aesthetics. Shannon and I share a very similar style, which encompasses a variety of different genres. But even as business partners whose styles are very aligned, we definitely have (and celebrate) our differences. I am a little more excited about a monogrammed pillow than she is, while she appreciates a funky side table a little more than I do.
That being said, we've thought long and hard about this "favorite" look question and so we are prepared to give you our answer. If we could pick only one style to live in ourselves, it would be a combination of modern, rustic and bohemian.
The above image is a stunning representation of a room that is modern while still oozing comfort. The wood ceiling, and the wood beams that frame the door in combination with the natural floor covering offer a rustic vibe while the art and the shape of the chairs and the minimal furniture assemblage are clean and modern.
This bathroom. Simple, modern, clean and oh so stylish. We love the bold use of dark iron, complemented by the white subway tiles. The natural wood shelf adds a rustic element so that the result doesn't feel too cold or harsh. The design and color palette are modern, the warm wood and iron are rustic, and the brass adds just the right amount of glamour.
This kitchen is another dreamy space. The herringbone floors are stunning, and are especially noticeable against the rich black cabinetry. The antique mirror gives an old world feel, while the Platner chair is decidedly modern. Salvaged floors, exposed beams, industrial lighting, and a mirrored backsplash styled with rustic cutting boards, edgy chairs and shiny appliances make for one beautiful space.
And there you have it...our favorite rooms are rustic, modern and slightly bohemian in style. Adding the bohemian element is easily done with flooring and textiles choices. Add a kilim, a vintage oushak or a Beni Ourain rug to a room to instantly lift any pretension and often times add depth and color. Add a sheepskin throw or a batik pillow to soften a square edged sofa.
