Mozart to Lady Gaga

A memorable song remains with you for many reasons:  rhythm, dynamics, balance, and voice.  The same can be said for a well-designed space.

As your eye moves around the room, there should be rhythm; your eye should feel free to move up, down, around, and back again.  Your eye isn’t stuck on the 42″ plasma screen, because it is balanced by the granite fireplace surround, the low-slung sectional, the plush frieze carpet, and the three round padded ottomans.

Dynamics speak to the high and low points, reflecting a change in color, texture, space.  Flooring, furniture placement, textiles, and warmer neutrals are key to achieving an enhanced dynamic.

Balance is seen when there is no one overpowering element, and repetition is evident but not obvious.  Understanding your color palette, and what to bring in (or leave out) really makes a space sing.

Voice is key; both song and space work well when a strong voice is used, so we are not left guessing as to intent, and motive is clear.  Clearly defining your style aesthetic leads to success.
