Organic Curves with Impactful Boldness for your Spaces!

Creativity, in my opinion, is where art and science meet. The artistry is full of the unknown, the unexpected, the inspiration, while the science is the logistics of creating said artistry with well-thought out schematics and technical aspects that execute the WOW!

You guys know I absolutely love exploring trends and finding creative, yet resourceful solutions to embracing trends that may have longevity within an environment, hence, curating a timeless + edgy space. Over the last few years, our industry has evolved with organic movement in spaces, furnishings, lighting, wall coverings, case goods, art, and accessories all revolving around curvature and one of God’s perfect design: natural elements. Professionally, I have explored countless showrooms from many markets that have encapsulated the natural elements in luxe formations with exquisite form and function. So, I decided, to take you guys on an organic curves journey of what is now being categorized as modern, edgy, and timeless.

Rich walnuts, luxe oaks, textured acacias, stunning mahoganies, exotic wenge woods, jaw-dropping quartzites, exceptional limestones, + impressive marbles: they all make my heart sing especially when paired with muted metallics like brushed brass aka champagne gold, as I lovingly refer to her as or bold matte blacks. Our industry is engulfed with some of these natural beauties in almost every shape and form. From striking drink tables to textured wall coverings to plush upholstery to gawgeous sculptural art, we are redefining a renaissance of the natural essence of design elements that are evoking wellbeing and thoughtfulness to every environment we touch. I absolutely love the reemergence of exploring textures with shapes and unexpected collaborations from showroom to showroom intentionally focused on some of God’s precious gifts: natural beauty.

As I stated before, we are seeing curves in all the right places from showroom to showroom such as Bernhardt, Arteriors, and Eichholtz!

I’m here for it all. My VIP clients love when our team hones in on the discerning design details; that is where the magic and luxury always resides. My perceptive obsessions with visual and tactile experiences throughout a space highlights how my clients interact within their curated environments, which electrifies me wholeheartedly. Simply put, I am in LOVE with the curves.

Embracing and utilizing curvature adds noticeable + welcomed interest to a space, whether it is introduced as cookware or bakeware or serving platters. I’m intrigued with the limitless possibilities and variety, especially with the upcoming holidays knocking at our doors. You, as the hostess with mostest, can curate dynamic dinner parties with timeless style and cleverness just by altering to organic curves. Feels like a fresh approach on your typical rectangular serving platters with added whimsy and vitality. Yasss!

No matter which types of spaces harness the impactful boldness of organic curves, it always seems to elevate that experience, which is delightful. Just a simple arch in a space evokes a luxurious sentiment.

Fabrics and wall coverings make use of the shapely aspects with enthusiasm as well as restraint; well-edited. Cabinet jewelry beautifully explores natural element trends of the ocean, mountains, deserts, and valleys using organic curves. Softly curvaceous lighting and accessories for the win! And I am here for IT! #GawgeousDahling

Instead of frequently relying on sharp geometric angles in every space, shapely upholstery like this vignette warmly welcomes your body. Try it with something small if you’re anxious or uncomfortable with embracing this stable trend, like a drink table or accent chair or chandelier. You’ll be pleasantly surprised of the dynamic of cleverly mixing shapes and the impactful boldness it embodies.

I’m truly inspired in almost all ways; through travel, exploration, and nature, through food journeys or color stories, I’ve appreciated my innate ability to experience and envision dynamic spaces utilizing my surroundings.

What are your absolute faves? Annnnnd how could you introduce curvaceous design elements within your space? I love hearing from you guys, always inspirational.

Until next time,

Live…Love…Design!
