A (RELATIVELY) QUIET PLACE In the living room, a neutral backdrop balances out bolder furnishings that weave in hues from surrounding rooms. Photo: Laura Resen, Styled by Yedda MorrisonIN SAN DIEGO, sunshine infuses homes so often—some 266 days a year, on average—that aggressively colorful interiors can easily come off as garish. What if you yearn for a fun, vivid look, but don’t want to live in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse? To create colorful zones that played well together but never veered into “elementary school” vibes, Maggio took cues from European interiors that feature gutsy but slightly muted Old World hues. “The colors she was drawn to all had a relative softness to them,” Maggio said.

☆ This Small Ozarks Town—Home to Walmart Headquarters—Is Becoming a New Capital of Cool

MORE THAN a decade after the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened in 2011 in Bentonville, Ark., I found myself wondering if more art, culture and good food had followed in its wake. Founded by Alice Walton , daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, and designed by convention-flouting architect Moshe Safdie, the museum turned a spotlight on this southern city in the Ozarks. Named for the spring that feeds the two ponds that flank it, the museum holds work by artists such as Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol and Georgia O’Keeffe.

☆ The Hottest Outdoor Furniture Trends for Warmer Weather

The Laid-Back Charm of Bistro Sets“Bistro sets remind us of spending warm days in a European city,” said Ksenia Kagner, co-founder of Civilian, a building and design studio in Brooklyn. She appreciates the table-and-chairs groupings’ lack of formality and pretension. “They convey a sense of retreat and nostalgia.” Ashley Macuga of Collected Interiors finds they nestle nicely where a traditional outdoor dining room table won’t fit.

☆ Grand but Comfortable: A California Home Inspired by French Chateaus

SUMMERY PALACE Interior designer Kevin Klein’s light-filled take on monarchical style, in his Los Angeles home. A CENTURIES-OLD French château dazzles the eye. But is it a tempting place to unwind, chomp a BLT and stream “Top Gun: Maverick”? For the décor of his own 1927 French Normandy-style home in Los Angeles, local designer Kevin Klein took inspiration from the Château de Digoine, in Burgundy, but he knew he needed a friendlier take on castle aesthetics. “I figured if I could replicate just 1% of Digoine in a contemporary way, I’d be happy.”
☆ Get the Look: A Dining Room as Coveted as a Restaurant Banquette

In New York City apartments, dining rooms are as rare and coveted as banquettes are in restaurants. So when the owners of a 996-square-foot flat in Brooklyn tasked interior designer Abigail Marcelo with transforming an 8.5-foot-wide recess into a dining area, she recalled roosting cozily in diner booths in the city, where she was raised. “It’s comforting and womb-like. Why a circle? The trio of colors, plus white, established the home’s palette.
☆ The Top 5 Interior Design Trends for 2023

AS INTERIOR DESIGNERS look ahead to 2023, they disagree on a fundamental question as to the shape of furniture to come: Will it be curvy or linear? A significant number of the hundreds we polled for our annual end-of-year trends predictions foresee more of the bowed sofas and circular swivel chairs that have been dominating chic living spaces. “Rounded shapes have been popular for a while now and continue to be a huge trend,” said architect Mary Maydan, in Palo Alto, Calif. Meanwhile, New York City designer Todd Raymond has tired of organic shapes and forecasts that rectilinear, restrained furniture will feel fresher to tastemakers and clients alike. His impassioned plea: “Bring back right angles!”
☆ Animal Prints in Interior Design: Awesome or Awful?
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Sarah Karnasiewicz | Kathryn O Shea-Evans | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
DESIGN PROS’ PERSPECTIVES on animal prints are fiercely divergent. Opponents believe the motifs of zebra and cougar and cowhide hog all the attention in a room, like a miniskirt at a funeral, and as Alexis Barr, instructor at the New York School of Interior Design, said, “carry associations of drama and decadence.” Others believe the prints function as a neutral. Sarah Vaile, an interior designer in Chicago, holds that a critter-pelt pattern actually “falls away” in decor, adding, “The universe knew what it was doing when it made these patterns a camouflage.” Here, two design aficionados take sides. Animal prints bring timeless texture and joie de vivre to a space. The great 20th-century French designer Madeleine Castaing—remembered for befriending avant-garde artists like Jean Cocteau as well as for her affection for wall-to-wall leopard carpet—once summed up her approach to interiors thus: “Be audacious, but with taste.” Is it any wonder she was a devotee of animal prints?
