HAVE A HIGH END THANKSGIVING

I have a whole lot to be grateful for this Thanksgiving.

My loving family.

My wonderful clients.

The best high end interior designers in the world.

And so much more.

Please spend time with your loved ones this holiday and take pleasure in the luxuries of good food, good friends, and close family (and of course, football).

Happy Thanksgiving!


MIAMI IS THE NEW HOLLYWOOD

You know that a city is hot when anything having to do with the Silver Screen heads its way from Hollywood.

That’s what’s happening to Miami right now.

In this case, it’s a series of galleries and showrooms popping up offering high end mid-20th century furnishings…the kind normally associated with the Golden Age of Hollywood.

A perfect complement to any interior design project.

The Miami Herald just did a whole feature on the phenomenon. Go here to see the full article.


HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN ANATOMY – PART 2

On last week’s episode of DesignTV With Steven G., we showed you the end result of all the nuts and bolts of high end interior design we usually focus on.

Now for the second week in a row, we present one of the interiors we’re most proud of at the St. Regis in Bal Harbour, Miami.

From the living room to the bedroom and beyond…


AN INTERIOR DESIGN PRODIGY

As you probably know by now, we love to highlight young interior designers who do amazing things, whether they’re in Miami or elsewhere.

This week in Kansas City, interior design student Cassandra Stanley won the International Interior Design Association’s Design Wars competition for the second year in a row. Virtually unheard of!

Congratulations to Ms. Stanley — we can’t wait to see what comes next!

HOW HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN GOES WRONG

We always say that truly luxurious, high end interior design should look like the homeowner is just someone with really good taste. However, there’s another side to the story.

Many interior decorators try to give a place the lived-in appearance by simply going around and finding expensive art, knickknacks, and furniture to fill a space. Unfortunately, this all too often creates a feeling of clutter rather than luxury and taste.

The antidote is adopt a policy that in great interior design, form should always follow function.

That’s the subject of a fantastic article in Freshome this week.


THE ANATOMY OF A HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN JOB – PART 1

On past episodes of DesignTV With Steven G., we’ve spent a lot of time talking about what makes interior design truly high end and how the people behind interior decoration (and real estate) help make it happen.

Over the next few weeks, I thought I’d try something different.

Sometimes getting into the mechanics of making interior design come to life can make you lose sight of the end product. Over the next three episodes, I’ll be walking through one of our latest finished jobs at the St. Regis in Bal Harbor (near Miami) to show you what luxury interior design can look like when it all comes together.


TOP NOTCH INTERIOR DECORATION TIPS FROM A NEW HGTV STAR

I love it when talented young interior designers and decorators step into the spotlight. Not only does it show what a bright future our profession has, but it keeps us all inspired by their great ideas.

Danielle Colding is definitely an interior designer who’s not short on great ideas. As the latest winner of HGTV’s reality show “Design Star,” she’s been getting lots of press lately, which she’s been using to spread some really high quality interior design information on everything from picking the right sized rug for a room to using cabinets to brighten up a room.

THE ART OF ANTIQUING: CREATING THE PERFECT HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN

Our longtime readers know we believe that truly luxurious high end interior design should make a space look like the product of the owner’s exquisite good taste. That’s why even homeowners who have the best interior designer or decorators should spend the time to do a little shopping on their own.

For those who prefer the traditional style of interior decoration, going antiquing is one of the best ways to give your home that extra special touch.

Luckily our old friends at Quintessence, Susanna Salk and Timothy Corrigan, have put together the perfect guide to finding great antiques.


WHY MIAMI IS AMERICA’S NEW CULTURAL CAPITAL

In this fascinating discussion with Brazilian-Born Miami evangelist Rudy Mazon, the business and real estate mastermind tells us why he believes Miami has emerged as the 21st century’s leading city for art, culture, and high end interior design.

THE ROLE OF CERAMICS IN HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN

In an early episode of DesignTV With Steven G., I talked about the comeback that porcelain has made in luxury interior design and decoration.

While I was mainly talking about flooring, there’s another way you can use this fantastic material to make your home look great. But for that you need a master craftsperson like pottery artist Frances Palmer.

Check out this latest Quintessence interview with the genius herself.
