Mood Board | Art Deco Meets Traditional English Living Room

Today I’m sharing a full design plan I put together for a remote client, who asked for a blend of traditional English and Art Deco styles for his living room design scheme. If you’re curious as to what you get with Emmerson & Fifteenth’s Room Scheme Interior Design Service, this might give you a taste. The client loved the set design on the TV show Jeeves & Wooster, and wanted 1930s Art Deco-inspired touches throughout his living room. He wanted…

Mood Board | Design Plans for a Long Living/Dining Room

I’ve just been granted clearance to buy a fancy Chesterfield, and I want to nail down the design plans for my dining/living room quick in case the hubs changes his mind. It’s a multifunctional space, with a study area thrown in for good measure, and, as usual, I’m blending an eclectic mix of design styles. The living/dining room is long and narrow, which makes for a bit of a design challenge, especially with so much to fit in. We need…

Mood Board Collective | A Bright, Beachy Living Room

Mood Board Collective | A Bright, Beachy Living Room

The Mood Board Collective is a monthly design “challenge,” where different interiors bloggers take the same inspiration piece and use it to create a room design for any space they want. This month, the starting point was a pretty print of a seagull painting, which I used to create a beachy living room design. I love the happy colour palette in the painting, and I decided to roll with it. I pulled bright pink, emerald green and yellows from the…

Industrial Living Room Design Progress, Chicago

Industrial Living Room Design Progress, Chicago

I used to live in a converted meat-packing factory in Chicago’s University Village area. The building was packed with incredible industrial features, and although I wasn’t able to complete the living room from an interior design perspective, it’s worth a look. When we moved in, a bold red wall with patches of mismatched paint dominated the room. It’s a long wall, and I didn’t want a big expanse of solid colour. Wallpaper wasn’t in the budget, so I chose to…

Emmerson & Fifteenth | Family Room Mood Board I put together a comfy family room design in black, white and soft pink. There’s storage for kids’ toys and a plush velvet sectional for parents to lounge on. Pink can…

Mood Board Collective | Aqua, Salmon & Grey

This month’s mood board collective inspiration image is a bright, graphic infinity scarf chosen by Sarah. Using the same salmon, aqua and grey reference image as a starting point, four interiors bloggers have created their own room designs. There are no other parameters, and it’s always fun to see the different directions we all take in our mood boards. Emmerson & Fifteenth | Office Mood Board The colour combo gave me an excuse to design a room around a grey…
