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.

THE PUBLIC FACE OF HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN

Interior design is usually an invisible art form. When high end interior design is done best, a home has the appearance of simply being the result of the homeowner’s exquisite good taste.

However, it is always fun when we see one of our own make their way into the public eye. That’s why I always pay attention to what Nate Berkus has to say…in a lot of ways, he’s the public face of our profession. Plus, he’s Oprah’s buddy.

Take a look at his latest interview on Vanity Fair here.

THE BEST HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGNERS IN THE WORLD

On this episode of DesignTV With Steven G., we take a break from talking to Miami’s real estate power players in order to shift the focus to our own team of high end interior design superstars.

HALLOWEEN: THE ULTIMATE INTERIOR DESIGN HOLIDAY

We spend all year thinking about how to make the interiors of people’s homes appear more beautiful and luxurious. There’s an element of costuming in our profession…taking something made of steel, glass, and wood and dressing it up for maximum effect.

So it should come as no surprise that I love Halloween. In many ways, it’s the day when everyone becomes a bit of a decorator.

Happy Halloween everyone!

A NEW TAKE ON THE PSYCHOLOGY OF INTERIOR DESIGN

Our blog is called The Psychology of Design for a reason.

We’ve always been big believers that quality interior design and decoration goes far beyond simply having a pretty home. The colors, light, art, and items you surround yourself with don’t just reflect who you are as a person; they can help you become the best version of yourself.

That’s why I was so intrigued by a recent article I came across about a new course at Seminole State College that teaches parents of autistic children how to make interior decoration choices specifically designed to make life with the disorder easier.

Now if that’s not an endorsement of interior design, I don’t know what is.

MIAMI REALTOR SEES HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN AS BRANDING

The latest episode of DesignTV With Steven G. was especially fascinating to me. In it, I discuss all kinds of topics with Miami real estate legend Michael Neumann, but there were two in particular that really got me charged up.

One, he was the first of our guests to shine the light on a luxury development in Miami being bought primarily by Miamians. Two, he had a truly interesting take on the role of high end interior design and decoration in the world of luxury real estate.

Watch the episode to see for yourself.

WHAT IT REALLY TAKES TO BECOME A HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGNER

Sometimes I like to take a break from blogging about the luxurious results high end interior designers can achieve, and instead focus on how members of our tribe acquire the skills to create such magic and what leads to their success in the industry.

That’s why I loved the latest Jennifer Adams column so much.

In her latest article, Adams tells one aspiring interior designer what it really takes to become a professional.

FAREWELL TO A LUXURY ICON

We’ve always held that luxury is more a way of interacting with the world than any one specific thing. So even though we specialize in high end interior design, we couldn’t help but be profoundly moved by news of the passing of one of the true innovators of the luxury lifestyle.

Oscar de la Renta was one of the most successful and prolific fashion designers of all time…responsible for outfitting First Ladies, movie stars, and everyone in between.

Mr. de la Renta may have left us but his influence on anyone who loves luxury will live on.
