We exist and design in a world of nouns- people, places, and things inspiring us to see the world through the lens of interior design.

Art forms rely heavily on color, pattern, and texture to capture the attention of the admirer, which in turn extends an invitation to the senses to experience and appreciate the effect.
Fashion paragon Gabrielle Bonheur “Coco” Chanel is the top of mind fashion maven in the world of haute couture.
Coco Chanel accessorized the ultimate house of style, 31 rue Cambon, in the same iconic style perfected as a result of her signature good taste and penchant for sophistication.
Pretty in pink paired with two color basics, the classic color combination of black and white and/or the color brown brings to mind the chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry color block characteristic of Neapolitan ice cream.

Fashion and interior design stand together in front of the mirror of good taste, classic color choices, and timeless trends.
When color stars in an iconic scene, imitation becomes all the more understandable.

Notable figures capture our attention in the same way classic interior design and decor styles influence our choices.

Lighting plays a role in the reflection and absorption of color, and how it is perceived by the eye.
Photographers, directors, designers, and decoristas utilize lighting to enrich the depth and intensity of color.
It all comes back to perceived vision.
