THE ZEN OF INTERIOR DESIGN RETURNS

Long time readers might remember one of our earliest, most popular posts… “The Zen of High End Interior Design.” It was basically about how following some of the basic principles of Zen could help you calmly make the sort of interior decoration decisions that will give you the sort of home environment that will make you feel at peace.

The blog Home Designing recently released the perfect companion post to our earlier piece. It’s about how to borrow actual Zen looks from East Asian styles to add to the calm interior of your home.

Whether you’re in Toyko, Miami, New York, or Kalamazoo, these tips will help you achieve the kind of home interior you’ll be thrilled to enter at the end of each day.

MIAMI’S BEST INTERIOR DESIGN STORES

Unless one of your talents is hand-crafting furniture, having great taste and a great eye aren’t enough to end up with the home interior of your dreams.

You’ve also got to know where to shop.

That’s why I wanted to refer you to a list of some of the best places in Miami for interior designers and their clients to buy everything they need.

HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN’S NORTHERN LIGHTS

In most people’s minds there’s not much that’s farther apart than the Miami and Scandinavian styles of interior design.

That’s exactly why I love it so much.

Like anything else creative, if you only pay attention to your immediate surroundings, it becomes tough to do anything truly different.

So for anyone in Miami (or anywhere in the U.S., really) trying to break out of an interior decoration rut, I seriously recommend looking to our brothers and sisters way up north.

Here’s a good place to start getting inspiration.

HOW GREAT HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN CAN HELP YOU GET TOP DOLLAR

We spend a lot of time here talking about how to make high end interior design choices that improve your home environment. But how about if you’re planning to sell the home you’ve got?

Believe it or not, that’s when great interior design can come in the most handy. When a real estate market is as competitive as Miami is these days, interior decoration can make all the difference as to who gets the best price.

Freshome has put together a great primer on decorating your home for the sale. It’s a great start to learning about an important topic.

THE SECRET TO HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN CREATIVITY

Over the course of my career, I’ve found that one of the best ways to spark creativity is to expose yourself to the widest range of influences possible.

This is true in all areas where you need to be creative, but it’s especially important in high end interior design.

So while I always make sure I keep up with the latest interior design trends of the finest homes in Miami (and throughout the world), I also look in places you might not expect.

That’s why an article I recently came across, “20 of The World’s Best Restaurant And Bar Interior Designs” is so helpful. Incorporating just one or two of these creative ideas into your own interior decoration choices could make all the difference in making yours stand out.

MIAMI JUST KEEPS ON GROWING

Every day I wake up exhilarated by how on fire Miami is.

Enter the Miami World Center…one of the biggest and most over-the-top commercial and residential centers right in the heart of Downtown Miami. This place is like going to blow your mind–just wait!

And for an interior designer in Miami, it’s like being a kid in a candy store.

MIAMI INTERIOR DESIGNERS GO WILD OVER BECKHAM NEWS

From the perspective of the 2007 Crash, it couldn’t have seemed more unlikely, but Miami is the hottest real estate market in the country right now…again.

And if you’re an interior designer in Miami or even just someone living here interested in decorating, times couldn’t be more exciting.

Right on the tails of the news about Alejandro Sanz’s multi-million dollar purchase comes even bigger news. English soccer phenomenon David Beckham has decided to move to Miami to try to build a Major League Soccer team in our fair city. As part of that major league step, he’s decided to buy a luxury mansion here.

Anyone who’s a Miami interior designer, real estate and design aficionado, or soccer fan, is on pins and needles waiting to see what this big move does for the look, style, and energy of Miami.

INTERIOR DESIGN: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIV

A British company has put together a charming illustrated look-back on interior design decade by decade. Even though there are some slight difference between U.K. and U.S. style, there are enough similarities to give you a chuckle or two.

(I certainly remember how things looked in the 1980’s when I decided to go into the high end design business in Miami (think Don Johnson and lots of neon).)

Go here to see the illustrated history of interior design for yourself.

YOU SAY IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY!

It was 30 years ago today that I decided to hang up my shingle as Miami’s newest high end interior design firm.

It’s been a long, crazy, wonderful ride ever since.

It’s been the great adventure of my life to build Interiors by Steven G., and the best part of it has been working with our team of wonderful, talented designers. We’re proud to say that of this past year, we have 2 employees who have been with us for 20 years.

Thank you everyone for making so many design dreams come true!

MIAMI MANSION GOES FOR BIG BUCKS

As a Miami interior designer, I’m always keeping my eye on fantastic luxury real estate that goes on the market.

Today I came across a great one that you should definitely know about.

The Miami Beach mansion of Latin Music sensation Alejandro Sanz is on sale, and it’s only $18 mil. But don’t worry, it’s well worth it– 7,500 square feet, right on the Intercoastal, and designed by the legendary Miami interior designer Wallace Tutt.

You owe it to yourself to check this place out, whether or not there’s a move in your future.
