On November 30, 2023, the Nandina team gathered in Greenville alongside friends, family, and colleagues to celebrate design and the closing of a prosperous year. Inspired by N Home Magazine’s latest issue, the event was titled, Elements of Design. Featuring tasty hors d’oeuvres, and mixologist-crafted cocktails, it was truly a testament to the creative process. Sponsored in part by Foster Victor and Atlanta-based Currey & CompanyElements of Design was additionally a celebration of the relationships we maintain with our clients and vendors.

Great vendors like Currey & Company are paramount to any successful design project. They provide our design teams with the quality products required to complete their clients’ visions and often share information regarding the ever-changing interior design industry news, trends, and knowledge. In this spirit, Susan Victor sat down with Aimee Kurzner, Director of Furniture at Currey & Company, to discuss her career and design. Aimee shared her invaluable insights, noting the significance of the design elements to her creative process. 

What are the Elements of Design?

Interior designers use elements such as color, composition, texture, lighting, and balance to shape the ultimate aesthetic and practicality of a design. They are used to create artful layers that authentically and stylishly reflect a client’s preferences, personality, and lifestyle.

Here’s how the Nandina design teams use the elements of design to create beautiful, unique, and practical designs for their clients.

Proportion

Proportion addresses spatial relationships, or the relative size and scale of various elements within a room. Proportion enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space all while fostering a sense of equilibrium and comfort. Achieving proper proportion is a key reason as to why many interior design projects often begin with taking measurements and snapping photographs. This is a fundamental step because designers must reference these when making furniture, lighting, and accessory selections. 

Balance

Similar to proportion, balance is all about equilibrium. It can be attained through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements. Symmetrical arrangements are cohesive and inherently tidy. Asymmetrical arrangements have distinct visual elements that are positioned on opposite sides of a design, yet the overall composition appears balanced. 

Lighting

Currey and Company is known for its bespoke lighting fixtures. Beautiful lighting plays a pivotal role in imbuing a space with ambiance and mood. To emphasize this point, The Washington Post released an article last year regarding the importance of lighting selections, noting its ability to affect your psychological state and circadian rhythm. Lighting contributes to the overall design aesthetic, sometimes acting as an accessory or focal point. 

Texture & Pattern

Our Nandina designers think of texture as just another color. The introduction of various textures and patterns in area rugs, furniture, wallpaper, and art adds depth and visual intrigue. Texture and pattern enhance the tactile appeal of a design, giving a room dimension through its palpable layers. 

Color

Like lighting, color possesses the ability to transform the mood of a room or space. When skillfully chosen, color can set its intended tone. Bold colors, such as orange and lime green, bring dynamism and life to a design. Neutral palettes, on the other hand, tend to elicit feelings of serenity and calm. 

Emphasis

Emphasis creates a focal point, directing attention to a specific area or element within a room. This attention-grabbing effect can be crafted through the strategic use of the other design elements, such as lighting, color, and accessories. Emphasis adds drama and flair. Think of emphasis as the exclamation point of design! 

Well-curated Accents & Accessories

Accents and accessories heighten the visual allure of a design. Whether it’s artwork, sculptures, cherished heirlooms, or bold statement pieces, these details contribute to a space’s personality. Accents and accessories serve as the narrative essence in the realm of design, reflecting the stories and personalities of the homeowners.  

Composition

Finally, there’s composition. This design element involves the harmonious interplay of the design elements within a single design. While it may be challenging to define, successful composition is unmistakable. It guarantees that every detail collaborates seamlessly. 

Do you Need the Assistance of Passionate Professionals?

Interior Design is a multi-faceted profession that requires rigorous creativity, empathy, and technical expertise. At its core, interior design beats the pulse of passion. It is the heart of the profession and something worth celebrating. Like Aimee Kurzner, the designers that make up Nandina Home & Design are rich in knowledge and passion. If you are looking for interior design assistance, allow us to assist you. Our philosophy that designs should always reflect the “Real Life” and “Real Style” of our clients is practiced across all our passionate, talented, and experienced design teams.

As interior designers the use of color is one of the most critical design tools that we can use, and at Nandina we love color.  Here are some of our tried and true tips on how to use color to create amazing spaces in every design project.

Start with a Color Palette

Choose a color palette that suits your interior design style and the mood you want to create in the room. Picking the right colors isn’t just about what looks pretty (although that’s a big part of it!). Consider the overall theme, the purpose of the space, and your personal preferences. You can create a monochromatic scheme using various shades of a single color, or opt for complementary or analogous colors for a more vibrant look. Complementary and analogous colors are concepts that are part of the overall field of “color theory”. 

Use a Color Wheel

If choosing colors feels complicated then meet your new best friend the color wheel – it’s like your ultimate color cheat sheet. Opposite colors on the wheel, like red and green, are called complementary colors. They’re like a match made in color heaven, bringing out the best in each other. And then there are analogous colors, which are neighbors on the wheel. They play so well together, creating a harmonious and seamless look.

The color wheel – your new best friend

Use Color to Set the Mood   

Different colors evoke different emotions and moods. Imagine walking into a room that’s like a warm hug – cozy, inviting, and just feels right. That’s the magic of color psychology! Each color has its own personality, and it can totally affect your mood. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows bring in energy and excitement. They’re like that friend who’s always up for an adventure.  But if you’re all about chill vibes and tranquility, cool colors like blues and greens are your go-to pals. They create a calm and serene atmosphere – perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings with a book and a cup of tea.

Balance Bold and Neutral Colors

If you want to incorporate bold or vibrant colors into your space, balance them with neutral colors. Neutrals like white, beige, gray, or taupe can serve as a backdrop that allows your accent colors to shine. This balance helps prevent the space from becoming overwhelming and ensures a cohesive look.

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Monochromatic

Ever heard of monochromatic magic? It’s all about sticking to shades of a single color. Picture a room dressed in various shades of blue – from pale sky to deep navy.  It’s a classy and sophisticated look that’s easy on the eyes.

Experiment with Textures 

Colors can interact with different textures to create visual interest. Play with a variety of materials such as velvet, silk, wood, or metal, as they can add depth and richness to your color scheme. Textured surfaces can also reflect light differently, altering the perception of color in a space.

textured neutral roomThis monochromatic bedroom could have fallen flat, instead a textured wood paneled wall, a sculptural ratan chair and a large furry hide add the change in materials that make this room interesting and inviting

Create Focal Points with Color

Use color to draw attention to specific areas or elements in the room. For instance, you can paint an accent wall in a bold color or use colorful furniture, bold artwork, or brightly colored pillows and accessories to create a focal point. These focal points of color are like those fancy accessories that complete an outfit.  They’re the pops of color that add personality to your space.   

textured wallpaperA blue textured wallpaper on one wall that coordinates with the blue leather accents on the dining room chairs create a focal point that harmonizes with the entire design of the room

Consider the Flow Between Rooms

If your home has an open floor plan or if rooms are visible from one another, consider how colors will flow from one space to another. Choose colors that complement each other or create a harmonious transition between rooms to ensure a cohesive and visually pleasing overall look.

Don’t Forget the Power of the Fifth Wall – Your Ceiling

Painting it a lighter shade can make your room feel more open and spacious. Or if you’re feeling adventurous painting all five walls a vibrant color is a design risk that can really pay off.

All five walls, along with all trim, are painted a vibrant blue in this saturated room of color.

Now that you’re armed with a bit of color theory magic, go ahead and experiment! Your space is like a canvas, and you’re the artist. Mix and match, try different combinations, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through those colors. Need help choosing colors for an interior design project in Aiken, Atlanta, or Greenville? We’d love to help.

How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles https://nandinahome.com/interior-design-sweet-spot-four-styles/ Thu, 26 Jan 2023 14:04:52 +0000 https://nandinahome.com/?p=17306 Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to...

Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to convince you that on a personal level there are five good reasons to dive in to defining your interior design sweet spot.   

    1. You will become a selective Shopper – Once you understand the basic interior design styles and their components you will be able to identify the characteristics of the style that you want your home to reflect.  Knowing what you love and what fits into the style of your home makes impulse buying, well , much less impulsive! You won’t be tempted to purchase that oversized floral, rolled arm sofa if you want your home to reflect a minimalist modern vibe!
    2. Investment purchasing will be part of your long term design strategy.  Remember when our parents or grandparents would purchase a sofa or a chest.  Those investment pieces would be reupholstered, moved from room to room, passed on to children and grandchildren.  We need to think about building the rooms of our homes around investment pieces that will stand the test of time.  A beautiful bespoke chest could be the foundation of a living room plan and later moved to a hall or bedroom.   
    3. Your rooms will fit you, just like your favorite clothes do.  Our homes and the rooms that make up our homes should be a reflection of who we are and what we value.  Once you realize what style of rooms bring you joy, comfort and confidence, you will love being in  your home the same way you love pulling on your favorite sweater.

The more you understand the style you love, the more you will be able to do the look for less

You should always have a budget for all of your interior design projects.  Knowing the design style that you are trying to achieve will give you the freedom and courage to splurge on some items while filling in frugally with other items.  In the design world we call this mixing high and low, or “how to get the look for less”.   

Knowing your style and executing it well, will help you achieve a home that you love.

Trying to define your personal style without having a basic understanding of the core interior design styles is a bit like planning a trip to the beach but not having any idea what route to get there or exactly which beach you want to end up on.   The elements of each design style are kin to a good roadmap (or in this day and age a GPS)  So let’s jump in and define the elements of the Four Core Interior Design Styles: Traditional, Modern, Transitional and Eclectic

Traditional Design

If you are drawn to traditional interior design style, you love a beautiful antique piece of furniture, rich wood tones in your furnishings, floral fabrics, hand knotted oriental rugs, skirted sofas and chairs, fringes and tapes on your drapes, and symmetry in your arrangements. 

Key elements of traditional style:

  • Classic 18th and 19th century  English antiques 
  • Furnishings with strong European influences
  • Rich textured fabrics
  • Stripes, plaids, florals
  • Symmetry
  • Gilt , tassels
  • Skirts, rolled arms, highly carved furnishings
  • Wallpaper, layered collections

Modern Design

Loving clean lines, uncluttered interiors, the combination of stone, glass, and mixed metals, and a monochromatic color palette are characteristics of a Modernist – a lover of Modern interior design.  There are many modern elements that are classics – since modernism first appeared on the design scene as early as the 1920’s 

Elements of Modern Style:

  • Sleek, clean lines, basic shapes
  • Muted – neutral color palette as the base
  • Furniture and accessories are lower to ground
  • Stone, metal, glass
  • Uncluttered! Has a strong minimalist vibe
  • No skirts, track arms vs rolled arms
  • Leather, hides, bold graphic patterns

Transitional Design

The perfect blend of Modern and Traditional is the style that is described as Transitional.  Transitional balances sophisticated style with comfort to achieve a balanced interior, which effortlessly combines equal measures of Modern and Traditional elements.  Furnishings are comfortable but clean lined with stylish silhouettes, fabrics are rich but not overly ornate, like neutral velvets, mohairs, fresh linens.  An antique chest can share space with a modern abstract piece of art, and a classic hand knotted oushak rug.  No wonder that Transitional style is so popular – it reflects a more contemporary attitude of casual yet sophisticated interiors that are frequently warm and inviting.

Transitional Design Elements:

  • Seamlessly merges feminine/masculine, simple/sophisticated, sleek/curved or carved
  • Clean patterns, warm tones
  • Plush materials
  • Timeless, elegant and inviting
  • Track arms, mix of legs and skirt 
  • Mix of materials
  • Mix of art
  • Tone on tone or just pops of color

Eclectic

If you are into richly layered patterns and colors and the art of mixing seemingly disparate styles than you may be a fan of eclectic design.  Gallery walls, pattern on pattern textiles, a strong mix of furniture styles, and the use of statement objects are just a few of the characteristics that define an Eclectic styled room.

Eclectic Style:

  • Harmonization of seemingly disparate style, textures, and colors
  • Pair different design eras and genres – antique, farmhouse, modern, French, art deco
  • Don’t buy the set!!  Furniture and accessories need to look curated and not like a matching set
  • The look is controlled chaos – you can add in visual layers with lots of textures – without adding visual cacophony
  • Make it personal!!

Christina Scharf Design

The best part of understanding what elements define the Core Four design styles is that most of the popular design interiors you recognize today are a combination of these basic design styles.  I love to describe popular interior design styles like Bohemian,  Mid Century Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Modern Classic, Glamour

Some of today’s popular interior design mash ups:

  • Bohemian – a mix of eclectic and ethnic
  • Mid Century Modern – Mix of 50’s modern and  industrial 
  • Modern Farmhouse – Mix  modern, transitional, vintage and  industrial
  • Modern Classic or New Traditional –  Mixing the European influences of traditional design with classic modern elements (think Ralph Lauren!)
  • Hollywood Glamour – the perfect mix of eclectic and modern, bold uses of color with high contrast metals, glass and stone.

There are many more mash ups of interior design styles but once you master the basics you will better understand the design elements that best represent your personal style.  What could be better than to live in spaces that are well designed, beautiful and that perfectly reflect you!

The end of Summer and the first few weeks of Fall mean back to school, back to schedules and “back to busy” for many of us. While the re-establishment of routine is welcome, the loss of free-flowing, long summer days can feel overwhelming.  

In our most recent N Home publication we showcased two homes that were custom-built and designed with very busy families in mind. Let’s take a look into how seamlessly chaos can be formed into stylish function.  

 

Planned to Perfection

Design by: Susan Victor, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When you have two married surgeons, three young children and a cat, your life has to function like a well-oiled machine and your home needs to support that perfectly coordinated crew. When I was approached by this client to collaborate on the design of their new home, I quickly realized that how the space would function would be paramount to the overall success of this project. What you see following showcases a work-horse of a home that is the perfect example of the beauty of functional design. 

Great Room, Kitchen

The large great room needed to be sophisticated enough for entertaining and casual enough for the kids to lounge in after dinner. A pair of sectionals that face the fireplace allow for plenty of seating but their sleek mid-century styling makes the overall design sophisticated enough for entertaining.

Laundry Room

The laundry room incorporates a table to act as a desk or for a special school project or arts and crafts.

Mudroom

The mud room entry off of the garage boasts colorful character and organization for all of the paraphernalia that is needed for daily activities.

Custom built bunkbeds became the focal point of a boy’s room and made sharing a space as brothers into an adventure. 

Kid's Room

In an upstairs combination study and game room, we were able to find additional, creative space for beds hidden within the eaves of the roof line.  It  just required a little ingenuity and a great custom carpenter. What a great spot for sleepovers!

This project was filled with joy at every turn and I am proud to say the end result allowed every space the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the family.” Susan Victor

 

Nestled In Nature

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When these clients set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in an established neighborhood but also find a strong connection to the serenity of nature. This project brought an exciting challenge to create a space that would evoke a sense of calm and a retreat from the busy lifestyle created by two engaged professionals and two active tweens. In the end, we were able to create something for everyone and find a place where a young family can enter, connect to nature and to each other. 

FoyerImmediately upon entry, you are stunned by the breathtaking views and openness of the main living space. 

Great Room, Lake View

The design of the open-concept living/dining space seamlessly connects to the terrace. This provides an ideal space for entertaining family and friends while maintaining an elegantly welcoming character complete with reclaimed beams, classically transitional furniture and comfortable upholstery.

Kitchen, Dining Room

Foyer, Tile Floor, Mudroom

An inset tile rug at the mudroom entry functions to define the space and capture the dirt and sand before transitioning to the wood floors.

The upstairs houses two fun-loving girls with inspired design styles. Each one had a vision to carry out for their private space and now can share it with friends or curl-up with a good book. In one of the rooms, we designed a custom-built pop-up style desk under the window for efficiency and functionality. 

“Successfully melding the personalities of a family and creating a functional home based on how they live is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a designer.” Sue Shannon

The Beauty of Design 

Can beautiful design be defined or is it truly in the eyes of the beholder? At Nandina we believe that beautiful design is a fine balance of the personal and the definable. Your home is inherently an extension of you – your desires, your family’s personality and values, your idea of style and beauty. Working with our clients to create spaces that reflect beautiful design is our passion.

When this couple set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in a neighborhood but have a space that connected them to them to the serenity of nature.

The Beauty of Lifestyle Design 

Lifestyle design is based on the theory of intentionally crafting a way of life or a style of living. At Nandina we often base our design on the theory that we don’t design rooms, we help our clients create a lifestyle. A home that reflects and reinforces the life you live is a home based on beautiful lifestyle design. family living room, coiffured ceiling, performance fabrics, design with balance

Although the great room, kitchen and dining area are the epitome of sophisticated style, it is the heart of this family’s home. Performance fabrics, stain resistance carpets, and furniture that can handle daily use allow for comfort and the wear and tear of an active family with pets.

The most surprising element of design in this project is the lounge room. This couple was not afraid to work with color, texture and modern elements; they wanted their home to be an expression of their personalities…welcoming, stylish, and fun!

Throughout the design, textiles and color were used to add warmth and character, providing a modern aesthetic that is richly layered and reflective of our client’s personality.

The Beauty of Functional Design 

A home is so much more than a beautiful showroom of perfectly placed furniture, rugs, art and accessories.  If well designed, every space within the home will serve the needs of those that dwell within it. A functional design addresses all areas of you and your families’ daily activities.  Great functional design is based on how you specifically want to live in a space. custom furniture, kid's playroom, functional storage

Capturing unused space under the eaves of the roof line is a perfect example of functional design. These custom-designed roll out beds work great for slumber parties or additional house guests for this active and social family.

To introduce a more urban vibe we chose to accessorize the space more asymmetrically. Replacing original large mirrors with a Currey and Company buffet and art provided a beautiful look with the added extra storage she needed.

When previous clients approached Lori to design their new condo in Newburyport, MA they had just moved from a beautiful home in Charleston’s Low Country. They wanted this new home in New England to reflect warmth and comfort with a nod to the design elements from the Charleston home they had grown to love.

Design by: Lori Marvel, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Glenn Livermore Photography

The Beauty of Creative Design 

Creative design is ingenious and innovative, original and visionary. As designers we work to create functional spaces that fit our client’s lifestyles but ultimately judging the success of the design will hinge on the creativity of the design. It may be the use of color or surface selections in an unusual ways, or bringing traditionally outdoor product inside, or using furniture in new and innovative ways. historical homes, modern interior design, Charleston, south carolina

What we loved so much about this project was the rich historical feel of the architecture juxtaposed with the creatively layered modern interiors. The owner has a unique sense of style that is reflected in each room by incorporating into the design something personal, cultivated and striking.

Art played a big role in defining the personality of the home – quirky, collected, colorful – each piece used throughout was purposely chosen and intentionally placed.

The backsplash tile, a beautiful marble mosaic with gold inlay, drove the design. The combination of a warm marble style counter top and the addition of natural wood in select areas creates a kitchen that is the best of both worlds…dressy and casual.

Living by the Water

For most of us over this past year home has become our haven, a safe harbor in a world that suddenly felt unsafe, a place where we retreated and revived, and thankfully found peace and comfort. We can find safety, joy and sanctuary in how our spaces interplay with nature, as in the majesty and stillness of mountains or the calm of a lake’s still waters.  

We are grateful to have been involved in several client projects that have created meaningful, joyful and calming homes by the water.

The aspect of how the water met the horizon brought the greatest sense of peace and inspiration for this project. When my clients discussed how they wanted the interiors to function and feel, their clear goal was to achieve a family home that would feel like a sanctuary, retreat and safe harbor of love for their extended family. – John Ishmael

The biggest challenge for this project was to design a home that would meld together their new surroundings with their previous belongings in order to make a comfortable, beautiful, warm and welcoming lakeside sanctuary. Every room gracefully mixes French and English antiques with casual rugs, comfortable neutral sofas and chairs, and a color palette that speaks to life on the lake. – Susan Victor Living by the Water

My clients desired to create a clean-lined modern beach house that could be a haven for their family and friends, but also have furnishings suitable for luxury rentals. The end result boasts a home filled with joyous touches, a fresh coastal vibe and an appreciation for those that spend time there. – Sue Shannon

The main criteria of this design revolved around the lake, which brings such joy to this family, and all of the main rooms open to a beautiful lake view. It has been my good fortune to work with this family, who live full-time on a lake, over several years to methodically create a home that reflects both their interests and personalities. – Michele Merritt Living by the Water

Garden Club Event at Nandina Home and Design in Greenville

In March, our Greenville interior design team hosted a ladies’ garden club in our newest showroom. Designers Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor developed an interactive project for the group that drew inspiration from florals.  

“We wanted to tie back to the nature of the organization and incorporate how florals can be an integral part of a design plan. BethAnn and I designed a mood board, in advance, with one red tulip as our inspiration; we then let the group break up into teams and compile their own cohesive designs plans around the floral of their choice. By offering rug samples, fabric and wall covering swatches and small accessories, each group was able to get first-hand experience in to what elements are involved when pulling a design plan together.”

MEET THE GREENVILLE DESIGNERS

Come in to meet our design team of Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor, both Upstate natives who have returned to Greenville to apply their ample, diverse experience to Greenville homes with excitement and renewed perspective. Nandina Home Greenville


Ashley Diggelmann, ALLIED ASID | Lead Designer

“Home is the framework of memories; a place where you relax, laugh and share stories. I draw inspiration for my work from people and how they live. The focus of designing spaces for my clients’ centers around making room for their lives. Whether a new build, styling, residential or commercial, collected or modern, the best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”

A native of the Upstate, Ashley received her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Anderson University. She comes to Nandina with eight years of experience from GDC Home in Charleston, SC. She has gained a vast amount of experience working on residential, hospitality and commercial projects and approaches each project with the desire to marry both beauty and function. Her extensive work with architects and contractors has brought vision to her work and her distinct style is a blend of whimsey and sophistication. She loves assisting clients with a wide range of challenges, including selecting architectural details and finishes, decorating a functional, beautiful space, and creating custom pieces tailor-made to expertly reflect clients’ personal taste and style.  Nandina Home

Greenville

BethAnn Connor, ALLIED ASID | Associate Designer  

“From a young age, I’ve been drawn to interior design because I love being able to design beautiful spaces that bring joy, comfort, and serenity. Your home is a reflection of you and each room in your home should showcase your passions and personality. As a designer, my goal is to seamlessly blend functionality, aesthetics, and personal style to create a home that tells the story of you and your family.”

BethAnn, a native to Greenville, began working with Nandina Home & Design in Aiken after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. While with Nandina, BethAnn worked closely with one of the principal designers in Aiken on varying residential and commercial projects. After three and a half years, she moved to Dallas, TX to work for a large residential design firm, IBB Fine Furnishings, joining a team supporting a nationally recognized designer. While at IBB, BethAnn gained experience working on large-scale, luxury projects in a fast-paced, urban environment. She was able to grow her interior design expertise and explore new techniques with color, design, space, and textures. BethAnn strives to make designs beautiful, yet functional and loves incorporating color, antiques, and bold accents when designing spaces. In her free time, she enjoys going on walks, watching movies, yoga, and spending time with friends and family.

On November 30, 2023, the Nandina team gathered in Greenville alongside friends, family, and colleagues to celebrate design and the closing of a prosperous year. Inspired by N Home Magazine’s latest issue, the event was titled, Elements of Design. Featuring tasty hors d’oeuvres, and mixologist-crafted cocktails, it was truly a testament to the creative process. Sponsored in part by Foster Victor and Atlanta-based Currey & CompanyElements of Design was additionally a celebration of the relationships we maintain with our clients and vendors. 

Susan Victor and Aimee Kurzner at the Elements of Design event in Greenville, SC

Great vendors like Currey & Company are paramount to any successful design project. They provide our design teams with the quality products required to complete their clients’ visions and often share information regarding the ever-changing interior design industry news, trends, and knowledge. In this spirit, Susan Victor sat down with Aimee Kurzner, Director of Furniture at Currey & Company, to discuss her career and design. Aimee shared her invaluable insights, noting the significance of the design elements to her creative process. 

What are the Elements of Design?

Interior designers use elements such as color, composition, texture, lighting, and balance to shape the ultimate aesthetic and practicality of a design. They are used to create artful layers that authentically and stylishly reflect a client’s preferences, personality, and lifestyle.

Here’s how the Nandina design teams use the elements of design to create beautiful, unique, and practical designs for their clients.

Proportion

Proportion addresses spatial relationships, or the relative size and scale of various elements within a room. Proportion enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space all while fostering a sense of equilibrium and comfort. Achieving proper proportion is a key reason as to why many interior design projects often begin with taking measurements and snapping photographs. This is a fundamental step because designers must reference these when making furniture, lighting, and accessory selections. 

Balance

Similar to proportion, balance is all about equilibrium. It can be attained through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements. Symmetrical arrangements are cohesive and inherently tidy. Asymmetrical arrangements have distinct visual elements that are positioned on opposite sides of a design, yet the overall composition appears balanced. 

Lighting

Currey and Company is known for its bespoke lighting fixtures. Beautiful lighting plays a pivotal role in imbuing a space with ambiance and mood. To emphasize this point, The Washington Post released an article last year regarding the importance of lighting selections, noting its ability to affect your psychological state and circadian rhythm. Lighting contributes to the overall design aesthetic, sometimes acting as an accessory or focal point. 

Texture & Pattern

Our Nandina designers think of texture as just another color. The introduction of various textures and patterns in area rugs, furniture, wallpaper, and art adds depth and visual intrigue. Texture and pattern enhance the tactile appeal of a design, giving a room dimension through its palpable layers. 

Color

Like lighting, color possesses the ability to transform the mood of a room or space. When skillfully chosen, color can set its intended tone. Bold colors, such as orange and lime green, bring dynamism and life to a design. Neutral palettes, on the other hand, tend to elicit feelings of serenity and calm. 

Emphasis

Emphasis creates a focal point, directing attention to a specific area or element within a room. This attention-grabbing effect can be crafted through the strategic use of the other design elements, such as lighting, color, and accessories. Emphasis adds drama and flair. Think of emphasis as the exclamation point of design! 

Well-curated Accents & Accessories

Accents and accessories heighten the visual allure of a design. Whether it’s artwork, sculptures, cherished heirlooms, or bold statement pieces, these details contribute to a space’s personality. Accents and accessories serve as the narrative essence in the realm of design, reflecting the stories and personalities of the homeowners.  

Composition

Finally, there’s composition. This design element involves the harmonious interplay of the design elements within a single design. While it may be challenging to define, successful composition is unmistakable. It guarantees that every detail collaborates seamlessly. 

Do you Need the Assistance of Passionate Professionals?

Interior Design is a multi-faceted profession that requires rigorous creativity, empathy, and technical expertise. At its core, interior design beats the pulse of passion. It is the heart of the profession and something worth celebrating. Like Aimee Kurzner, the designers that make up Nandina Home & Design are rich in knowledge and passion. If you are looking for interior design assistance, allow us to assist you. Our philosophy that designs should always reflect the “Real Life” and “Real Style” of our clients is practiced across all our passionate, talented, and experienced design teams.

As interior designers the use of color is one of the most critical design tools that we can use, and at Nandina we love color.  Here are some of our tried and true tips on how to use color to create amazing spaces in every design project.

Start with a Color Palette

Choose a color palette that suits your interior design style and the mood you want to create in the room. Picking the right colors isn’t just about what looks pretty (although that’s a big part of it!). Consider the overall theme, the purpose of the space, and your personal preferences. You can create a monochromatic scheme using various shades of a single color, or opt for complementary or analogous colors for a more vibrant look. Complementary and analogous colors are concepts that are part of the overall field of “color theory”. 

Use a Color Wheel

If choosing colors feels complicated then meet your new best friend the color wheel – it’s like your ultimate color cheat sheet. Opposite colors on the wheel, like red and green, are called complementary colors. They’re like a match made in color heaven, bringing out the best in each other. And then there are analogous colors, which are neighbors on the wheel. They play so well together, creating a harmonious and seamless look.

The color wheel – your new best friend

Use Color to Set the Mood   

Different colors evoke different emotions and moods. Imagine walking into a room that’s like a warm hug – cozy, inviting, and just feels right. That’s the magic of color psychology! Each color has its own personality, and it can totally affect your mood. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows bring in energy and excitement. They’re like that friend who’s always up for an adventure.  But if you’re all about chill vibes and tranquility, cool colors like blues and greens are your go-to pals. They create a calm and serene atmosphere – perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings with a book and a cup of tea.

Balance Bold and Neutral Colors

If you want to incorporate bold or vibrant colors into your space, balance them with neutral colors. Neutrals like white, beige, gray, or taupe can serve as a backdrop that allows your accent colors to shine. This balance helps prevent the space from becoming overwhelming and ensures a cohesive look.

blue and green roomThe large white sectional and white walls are the perfect backdrop to the vibrant blues and greens in the pillows, art and rug in this playful den

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Monochromatic

Ever heard of monochromatic magic? It’s all about sticking to shades of a single color. Picture a room dressed in various shades of blue – from pale sky to deep navy.  It’s a classy and sophisticated look that’s easy on the eyes.

Experiment with Textures 

Colors can interact with different textures to create visual interest. Play with a variety of materials such as velvet, silk, wood, or metal, as they can add depth and richness to your color scheme. Textured surfaces can also reflect light differently, altering the perception of color in a space.

textured neutral roomThis monochromatic bedroom could have fallen flat, instead a textured wood paneled wall, a sculptural ratan chair and a large furry hide add the change in materials that make this room interesting and inviting

Create Focal Points with Color

Use color to draw attention to specific areas or elements in the room. For instance, you can paint an accent wall in a bold color or use colorful furniture, bold artwork, or brightly colored pillows and accessories to create a focal point. These focal points of color are like those fancy accessories that complete an outfit.  They’re the pops of color that add personality to your space.

Consider the Flow Between Rooms

If your home has an open floor plan or if rooms are visible from one another, consider how colors will flow from one space to another. Choose colors that complement each other or create a harmonious transition between rooms to ensure a cohesive and visually pleasing overall look.

Don’t Forget the Power of the Fifth Wall – Your Ceiling

Painting it a lighter shade can make your room feel more open and spacious. Or if you’re feeling adventurous painting all five walls a vibrant color is a design risk that can really pay off.

All five walls, along with all trim, are painted a vibrant blue in this saturated room of color.

Now that you’re armed with a bit of color theory magic, go ahead and experiment! Your space is like a canvas, and you’re the artist. Mix and match, try different combinations, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through those colors. Need help choosing colors for an interior design project in Aiken, Atlanta, or Greenville? We’d love to help.

How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles https://nandinahome.com/interior-design-sweet-spot-four-styles/ Thu, 26 Jan 2023 14:04:52 +0000 https://nandinahome.com/?p=17306 Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to...

Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to convince you that on a personal level there are five good reasons to dive in to defining your interior design sweet spot.   

    1. You will become a selective Shopper – Once you understand the basic interior design styles and their components you will be able to identify the characteristics of the style that you want your home to reflect.  Knowing what you love and what fits into the style of your home makes impulse buying, well , much less impulsive! You won’t be tempted to purchase that oversized floral, rolled arm sofa if you want your home to reflect a minimalist modern vibe!
    2. Investment purchasing will be part of your long term design strategy.  Remember when our parents or grandparents would purchase a sofa or a chest.  Those investment pieces would be reupholstered, moved from room to room, passed on to children and grandchildren.  We need to think about building the rooms of our homes around investment pieces that will stand the test of time.  A beautiful bespoke chest could be the foundation of a living room plan and later moved to a hall or bedroom.   
    3. Your rooms will fit you, just like your favorite clothes do.  Our homes and the rooms that make up our homes should be a reflection of who we are and what we value.  Once you realize what style of rooms bring you joy, comfort and confidence, you will love being in  your home the same way you love pulling on your favorite sweater.

The more you understand the style you love, the more you will be able to do the look for less

You should always have a budget for all of your interior design projects.  Knowing the design style that you are trying to achieve will give you the freedom and courage to splurge on some items while filling in frugally with other items.  In the design world we call this mixing high and low, or “how to get the look for less”.   

Knowing your style and executing it well, will help you achieve a home that you love.

Trying to define your personal style without having a basic understanding of the core interior design styles is a bit like planning a trip to the beach but not having any idea what route to get there or exactly which beach you want to end up on.   The elements of each design style are kin to a good roadmap (or in this day and age a GPS)  So let’s jump in and define the elements of the Four Core Interior Design Styles: Traditional, Modern, Transitional and Eclectic

Traditional Design

If you are drawn to traditional interior design style, you love a beautiful antique piece of furniture, rich wood tones in your furnishings, floral fabrics, hand knotted oriental rugs, skirted sofas and chairs, fringes and tapes on your drapes, and symmetry in your arrangements. 

Key elements of traditional style:

  • Classic 18th and 19th century  English antiques 
  • Furnishings with strong European influences
  • Rich textured fabrics
  • Stripes, plaids, florals
  • Symmetry
  • Gilt , tassels
  • Skirts, rolled arms, highly carved furnishings
  • Wallpaper, layered collections

Modern Design

Loving clean lines, uncluttered interiors, the combination of stone, glass, and mixed metals, and a monochromatic color palette are characteristics of a Modernist – a lover of Modern interior design.  There are many modern elements that are classics – since modernism first appeared on the design scene as early as the 1920’s 

Elements of Modern Style:

  • Sleek, clean lines, basic shapes
  • Muted – neutral color palette as the base
  • Furniture and accessories are lower to ground
  • Stone, metal, glass
  • Uncluttered! Has a strong minimalist vibe
  • No skirts, track arms vs rolled arms
  • Leather, hides, bold graphic patterns

Transitional Design

The perfect blend of Modern and Traditional is the style that is described as Transitional.  Transitional balances sophisticated style with comfort to achieve a balanced interior, which effortlessly combines equal measures of Modern and Traditional elements.  Furnishings are comfortable but clean lined with stylish silhouettes, fabrics are rich but not overly ornate, like neutral velvets, mohairs, fresh linens.  An antique chest can share space with a modern abstract piece of art, and a classic hand knotted oushak rug.  No wonder that Transitional style is so popular – it reflects a more contemporary attitude of casual yet sophisticated interiors that are frequently warm and inviting.

Transitional Design Elements:

  • Seamlessly merges feminine/masculine, simple/sophisticated, sleek/curved or carved
  • Clean patterns, warm tones
  • Plush materials
  • Timeless, elegant and inviting
  • Track arms, mix of legs and skirt 
  • Mix of materials
  • Mix of art
  • Tone on tone or just pops of color

Eclectic

If you are into richly layered patterns and colors and the art of mixing seemingly disparate styles than you may be a fan of eclectic design.  Gallery walls, pattern on pattern textiles, a strong mix of furniture styles, and the use of statement objects are just a few of the characteristics that define an Eclectic styled room.

Eclectic Style:

  • Harmonization of seemingly disparate style, textures, and colors
  • Pair different design eras and genres – antique, farmhouse, modern, French, art deco
  • Don’t buy the set!!  Furniture and accessories need to look curated and not like a matching set
  • The look is controlled chaos – you can add in visual layers with lots of textures – without adding visual cacophony
  • Make it personal!!

Christina Scharf Design

The best part of understanding what elements define the Core Four design styles is that most of the popular design interiors you recognize today are a combination of these basic design styles.  I love to describe popular interior design styles like Bohemian,  Mid Century Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Modern Classic, Glamour

Some of today’s popular interior design mash ups:

  • Bohemian – a mix of eclectic and ethnic
  • Mid Century Modern – Mix of 50’s modern and  industrial 
  • Modern Farmhouse – Mix  modern, transitional, vintage and  industrial
  • Modern Classic or New Traditional –  Mixing the European influences of traditional design with classic modern elements (think Ralph Lauren!)
  • Hollywood Glamour – the perfect mix of eclectic and modern, bold uses of color with high contrast metals, glass and stone.

There are many more mash ups of interior design styles but once you master the basics you will better understand the design elements that best represent your personal style.  What could be better than to live in spaces that are well designed, beautiful and that perfectly reflect you! If you’re looking for an interior designer in Greenville, Atlanta, or Aiken – our team would love to help!

Back to Busy…

Custom Homes for Active Families 

 

The end of Summer and the first few weeks of Fall mean back to school, back to schedules and “back to busy” for many of us. While the re-establishment of routine is welcome, the loss of free-flowing, long summer days can feel overwhelming.  

In our most recent N Home publication we showcased two homes that were custom-built and designed with very busy families in mind. Let’s take a look into how seamlessly chaos can be formed into stylish function.  

 

Planned to Perfection

Design by: Susan Victor, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When you have two married surgeons, three young children and a cat, your life has to function like a well-oiled machine and your home needs to support that perfectly coordinated crew. When I was approached by this client to collaborate on the design of their new home, I quickly realized that how the space would function would be paramount to the overall success of this project. What you see following showcases a work-horse of a home that is the perfect example of the beauty of functional design. 

Great Room, Kitchen

The large great room needed to be sophisticated enough for entertaining and casual enough for the kids to lounge in after dinner. A pair of sectionals that face the fireplace allow for plenty of seating but their sleek mid-century styling makes the overall design sophisticated enough for entertaining.

Laundry Room

The laundry room incorporates a table to act as a desk or for a special school project or arts and crafts.

Mudroom

The mud room entry off of the garage boasts colorful character and organization for all of the paraphernalia that is needed for daily activities.

Custom built bunkbeds became the focal point of a boy’s room and made sharing a space as brothers into an adventure. 

Kid's Room

In an upstairs combination study and game room, we were able to find additional, creative space for beds hidden within the eaves of the roof line.  It  just required a little ingenuity and a great custom carpenter. What a great spot for sleepovers!

custom furniture, kid's playroom, functional storage

This project was filled with joy at every turn and I am proud to say the end result allowed every space the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the family.” Susan Victor

 

Nestled In Nature

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When these clients set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in an established neighborhood but also find a strong connection to the serenity of nature. This project brought an exciting challenge to create a space that would evoke a sense of calm and a retreat from the busy lifestyle created by two engaged professionals and two active tweens. In the end, we were able to create something for everyone and find a place where a young family can enter, connect to nature and to each other. 

FoyerImmediately upon entry, you are stunned by the breathtaking views and openness of the main living space. 

Great Room, Lake View

The design of the open-concept living/dining space seamlessly connects to the terrace. This provides an ideal space for entertaining family and friends while maintaining an elegantly welcoming character complete with reclaimed beams, classically transitional furniture and comfortable upholstery.

Kitchen, Dining Room

Foyer, Tile Floor, Mudroom

An inset tile rug at the mudroom entry functions to define the space and capture the dirt and sand before transitioning to the wood floors.

The upstairs houses two fun-loving girls with inspired design styles. Each one had a vision to carry out for their private space and now can share it with friends or curl-up with a good book. In one of the rooms, we designed a custom-built pop-up style desk under the window for efficiency and functionality. 

“Successfully melding the personalities of a family and creating a functional home based on how they live is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a designer.” Sue Shannon

The Beauty of Design 

Can beautiful design be defined or is it truly in the eyes of the beholder? At Nandina we believe that beautiful design is a fine balance of the personal and the definable. Your home is inherently an extension of you – your desires, your family’s personality and values, your idea of style and beauty. Working with our clients to create spaces that reflect beautiful design is our passion.

Join us as we recap the highlights pulled from our newest edition of N Home Magazine, “The Beauty of Design.”outdoor living, views of nature, infinity pool, serene landscape

When this couple set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in a neighborhood but have a space that connected them to them to the serenity of nature.

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Interior Design in Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

The Beauty of Lifestyle Design 

Lifestyle design is based on the theory of intentionally crafting a way of life or a style of living. At Nandina we often base our design on the theory that we don’t design rooms, we help our clients create a lifestyle. A home that reflects and reinforces the life you live is a home based on beautiful lifestyle design. family living room, coiffured ceiling, performance fabrics, design with balance

Although the great room, kitchen and dining area are the epitome of sophisticated style, it is the heart of this family’s home. Performance fabrics, stain resistance carpets, and furniture that can handle daily use allow for comfort and the wear and tear of an active family with pets.

Design by: BethAnn Connor, Nandina Interior Design Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

wallpaper, natural materials, moody interiors, modern interior design, tone on tone

The most surprising element of design in this project is the lounge room. This couple was not afraid to work with color, texture and modern elements; they wanted their home to be an expression of their personalities…welcoming, stylish, and fun! 

Design by: Nandina Atlanta | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

modern interiors, color, accent wall, modern lighting

Throughout the design, textiles and color were used to add warmth and character, providing a modern aesthetic that is richly layered and reflective of our client’s personality.

Design by: John Ishmael and Johna Jamison, Nandina Atlanta | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

The Beauty of Functional Design 

A home is so much more than a beautiful showroom of perfectly placed furniture, rugs, art and accessories.  If well designed, every space within the home will serve the needs of those that dwell within it. A functional design addresses all areas of you and your families’ daily activities.  Great functional design is based on how you specifically want to live in a space. custom furniture, kid's playroom, functional storage

Capturing unused space under the eaves of the roof line is a perfect example of functional design. These custom-designed roll out beds work great for slumber parties or additional house guests for this active and social family.

urban living, entertaining space, functional living room, modern interior design

To introduce a more urban vibe we chose to accessorize the space more asymmetrically. Replacing original large mirrors with a Currey and Company buffet and art provided a beautiful look with the added extra storage she needed. 

Design by: John Ishmael and Johna Jamison, Nandina Atlanta | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

bohemian vibes, natural elements, texture, urban living

When previous clients approached Lori to design their new condo in Newburyport, MA they had just moved from a beautiful home in Charleston’s Low Country. They wanted this new home in New England to reflect warmth and comfort with a nod to the design elements from the Charleston home they had grown to love.

Design by: Lori Marvel, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Glenn Livermore Photography

The Beauty of Creative Design 

Creative design is ingenious and innovative, original and visionary. As designers we work to create functional spaces that fit our client’s lifestyles but ultimately judging the success of the design will hinge on the creativity of the design. It may be the use of color or surface selections in an unusual ways, or bringing traditionally outdoor product inside, or using furniture in new and innovative ways. historical homes, modern interior design, Charleston, south carolina

What we loved so much about this project was the rich historical feel of the architecture juxtaposed with the creatively layered modern interiors. The owner has a unique sense of style that is reflected in each room by incorporating into the design something personal, cultivated and striking.  

Design by: Ashley Diggelmann, Nandina Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidtoriginal art, modern interiors, modern lighting

Art played a big role in defining the personality of the home – quirky, collected, colorful – each piece used throughout was purposely chosen and intentionally placed.

Design by: Ashley Diggelmann, Nandina Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

kitchen renovation, tile layout, gold, kitchen design, open concept

The backsplash tile, a beautiful marble mosaic with gold inlay, drove the design. The combination of a warm marble style counter top and the addition of natural wood in select areas creates a kitchen that is the best of both worlds…dressy and casual.

Living by the Water

For most of us over this past year home has become our haven, a safe harbor in a world that suddenly felt unsafe, a place where we retreated and revived, and thankfully found peace and comfort. We can find safety, joy and sanctuary in how our spaces interplay with nature, as in the majesty and stillness of mountains or the calm of a lake’s still waters.  

We are grateful to have been involved in several client projects that have created meaningful, joyful and calming homes by the water.

The aspect of how the water met the horizon brought the greatest sense of peace and inspiration for this project. When my clients discussed how they wanted the interiors to function and feel, their clear goal was to achieve a family home that would feel like a sanctuary, retreat and safe harbor of love for their extended family. – John Ishmael

The biggest challenge for this project was to design a home that would meld together their new surroundings with their previous belongings in order to make a comfortable, beautiful, warm and welcoming lakeside sanctuary. Every room gracefully mixes French and English antiques with casual rugs, comfortable neutral sofas and chairs, and a color palette that speaks to life on the lake. – Susan Victor Living by the Water

My clients desired to create a clean-lined modern beach house that could be a haven for their family and friends, but also have furnishings suitable for luxury rentals. The end result boasts a home filled with joyous touches, a fresh coastal vibe and an appreciation for those that spend time there. – Sue Shannon

The main criteria of this design revolved around the lake, which brings such joy to this family, and all of the main rooms open to a beautiful lake view. It has been my good fortune to work with this family, who live full-time on a lake, over several years to methodically create a home that reflects both their interests and personalities. – Michele Merritt Living by the Water

Garden Club Event at Nandina Home and Design in Greenville

In March, our Greenville interior design team hosted a ladies’ garden club in our newest showroom. Designers Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor developed an interactive project for the group that drew inspiration from florals.  

“We wanted to tie back to the nature of the organization and incorporate how florals can be an integral part of a design plan. BethAnn and I designed a mood board, in advance, with one red tulip as our inspiration; we then let the group break up into teams and compile their own cohesive designs plans around the floral of their choice. By offering rug samples, fabric and wall covering swatches and small accessories, each group was able to get first-hand experience in to what elements are involved when pulling a design plan together.”

MEET THE GREENVILLE DESIGNERS

Come in to meet our design team of Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor, both Upstate natives who have returned to Greenville to apply their ample, diverse experience to Greenville homes with excitement and renewed perspective. Nandina Home Greenville


Ashley Diggelmann, ALLIED ASID | Lead Designer

“Home is the framework of memories; a place where you relax, laugh and share stories. I draw inspiration for my work from people and how they live. The focus of designing spaces for my clients’ centers around making room for their lives. Whether a new build, styling, residential or commercial, collected or modern, the best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”

A native of the Upstate, Ashley received her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Anderson University. She comes to Nandina with eight years of experience from GDC Home in Charleston, SC. She has gained a vast amount of experience working on residential, hospitality and commercial projects and approaches each project with the desire to marry both beauty and function. Her extensive work with architects and contractors has brought vision to her work and her distinct style is a blend of whimsey and sophistication. She loves assisting clients with a wide range of challenges, including selecting architectural details and finishes, decorating a functional, beautiful space, and creating custom pieces tailor-made to expertly reflect clients’ personal taste and style.  Nandina Home

Greenville

BethAnn Connor, ALLIED ASID | Associate Designer  

“From a young age, I’ve been drawn to interior design because I love being able to design beautiful spaces that bring joy, comfort, and serenity. Your home is a reflection of you and each room in your home should showcase your passions and personality. As a designer, my goal is to seamlessly blend functionality, aesthetics, and personal style to create a home that tells the story of you and your family.”

BethAnn, a native to Greenville, began working with Nandina Home & Design in Aiken after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. While with Nandina, BethAnn worked closely with one of the principal designers in Aiken on varying residential and commercial projects. After three and a half years, she moved to Dallas, TX to work for a large residential design firm, IBB Fine Furnishings, joining a team supporting a nationally recognized designer. While at IBB, BethAnn gained experience working on large-scale, luxury projects in a fast-paced, urban environment. She was able to grow her interior design expertise and explore new techniques with color, design, space, and textures. BethAnn strives to make designs beautiful, yet functional and loves incorporating color, antiques, and bold accents when designing spaces. In her free time, she enjoys going on walks, watching movies, yoga, and spending time with friends and family.

On November 30, 2023, the Nandina team gathered in Greenville alongside friends, family, and colleagues to celebrate design and the closing of a prosperous year. Inspired by N Home Magazine’s latest issue, the event was titled, Elements of Design. Featuring tasty hors d’oeuvres, and mixologist-crafted cocktails, it was truly a testament to the creative process. Sponsored in part by Foster Victor and Atlanta-based Currey & CompanyElements of Design was additionally a celebration of the relationships we maintain with our clients and vendors.

Great vendors like Currey & Company are paramount to any successful design project. They provide our design teams with the quality products required to complete their clients’ visions and often share information regarding the ever-changing interior design industry news, trends, and knowledge. In this spirit, Susan Victor sat down with Aimee Kurzner, Director of Furniture at Currey & Company, to discuss her career and design. Aimee shared her invaluable insights, noting the significance of the design elements to her creative process. 

What are the Elements of Design?

Interior designers use elements such as color, composition, texture, lighting, and balance to shape the ultimate aesthetic and practicality of a design. They are used to create artful layers that authentically and stylishly reflect a client’s preferences, personality, and lifestyle.

Here’s how the Nandina design teams use the elements of design to create beautiful, unique, and practical designs for their clients.

Proportion

Proportion addresses spatial relationships, or the relative size and scale of various elements within a room. Proportion enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space all while fostering a sense of equilibrium and comfort. Achieving proper proportion is a key reason as to why many interior design projects often begin with taking measurements and snapping photographs. This is a fundamental step because designers must reference these when making furniture, lighting, and accessory selections. 

Balance

Similar to proportion, balance is all about equilibrium. It can be attained through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements. Symmetrical arrangements are cohesive and inherently tidy. Asymmetrical arrangements have distinct visual elements that are positioned on opposite sides of a design, yet the overall composition appears balanced. 

Lighting

Currey and Company is known for its bespoke lighting fixtures. Beautiful lighting plays a pivotal role in imbuing a space with ambiance and mood. To emphasize this point, The Washington Post released an article last year regarding the importance of lighting selections, noting its ability to affect your psychological state and circadian rhythm. Lighting contributes to the overall design aesthetic, sometimes acting as an accessory or focal point. 

Texture & Pattern

Our Nandina designers think of texture as just another color. The introduction of various textures and patterns in area rugs, furniture, wallpaper, and art adds depth and visual intrigue. Texture and pattern enhance the tactile appeal of a design, giving a room dimension through its palpable layers. 

Color

Like lighting, color possesses the ability to transform the mood of a room or space. When skillfully chosen, color can set its intended tone. Bold colors, such as orange and lime green, bring dynamism and life to a design. Neutral palettes, on the other hand, tend to elicit feelings of serenity and calm. 

Emphasis

Emphasis creates a focal point, directing attention to a specific area or element within a room. This attention-grabbing effect can be crafted through the strategic use of the other design elements, such as lighting, color, and accessories. Emphasis adds drama and flair. Think of emphasis as the exclamation point of design! 

Well-curated Accents & Accessories

Accents and accessories heighten the visual allure of a design. Whether it’s artwork, sculptures, cherished heirlooms, or bold statement pieces, these details contribute to a space’s personality. Accents and accessories serve as the narrative essence in the realm of design, reflecting the stories and personalities of the homeowners.  

Composition

Finally, there’s composition. This design element involves the harmonious interplay of the design elements within a single design. While it may be challenging to define, successful composition is unmistakable. It guarantees that every detail collaborates seamlessly. 

Do you Need the Assistance of Passionate Professionals?

Interior Design is a multi-faceted profession that requires rigorous creativity, empathy, and technical expertise. At its core, interior design beats the pulse of passion. It is the heart of the profession and something worth celebrating. Like Aimee Kurzner, the designers that make up Nandina Home & Design are rich in knowledge and passion. If you are looking for interior design assistance, allow us to assist you. Our philosophy that designs should always reflect the “Real Life” and “Real Style” of our clients is practiced across all our passionate, talented, and experienced design teams.

As interior designers the use of color is one of the most critical design tools that we can use, and at Nandina we love color.  Here are some of our tried and true tips on how to use color to create amazing spaces in every design project.

Start with a Color Palette

Choose a color palette that suits your interior design style and the mood you want to create in the room. Picking the right colors isn’t just about what looks pretty (although that’s a big part of it!). Consider the overall theme, the purpose of the space, and your personal preferences. You can create a monochromatic scheme using various shades of a single color, or opt for complementary or analogous colors for a more vibrant look. Complementary and analogous colors are concepts that are part of the overall field of “color theory”. 

Use a Color Wheel

If choosing colors feels complicated then meet your new best friend the color wheel – it’s like your ultimate color cheat sheet. Opposite colors on the wheel, like red and green, are called complementary colors. They’re like a match made in color heaven, bringing out the best in each other. And then there are analogous colors, which are neighbors on the wheel. They play so well together, creating a harmonious and seamless look.

The color wheel – your new best friend

Use Color to Set the Mood   

Different colors evoke different emotions and moods. Imagine walking into a room that’s like a warm hug – cozy, inviting, and just feels right. That’s the magic of color psychology! Each color has its own personality, and it can totally affect your mood. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows bring in energy and excitement. They’re like that friend who’s always up for an adventure.  But if you’re all about chill vibes and tranquility, cool colors like blues and greens are your go-to pals. They create a calm and serene atmosphere – perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings with a book and a cup of tea.

Balance Bold and Neutral Colors

If you want to incorporate bold or vibrant colors into your space, balance them with neutral colors. Neutrals like white, beige, gray, or taupe can serve as a backdrop that allows your accent colors to shine. This balance helps prevent the space from becoming overwhelming and ensures a cohesive look.

blue and green roomThe large white sectional and white walls are the perfect backdrop to the vibrant blues and greens in the pillows, art and rug in this playful den

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Monochromatic

Ever heard of monochromatic magic? It’s all about sticking to shades of a single color. Picture a room dressed in various shades of blue – from pale sky to deep navy.  It’s a classy and sophisticated look that’s easy on the eyes. 

neutral dining roomThis monochromatic dining room screams sophistication with multiple shades of gray, textured wallpaper and a stunning chandelier that pulls it all together

Experiment with Textures 

Colors can interact with different textures to create visual interest. Play with a variety of materials such as velvet, silk, wood, or metal, as they can add depth and richness to your color scheme. Textured surfaces can also reflect light differently, altering the perception of color in a space.

textured neutral roomThis monochromatic bedroom could have fallen flat, instead a textured wood paneled wall, a sculptural ratan chair and a large furry hide add the change in materials that make this room interesting and inviting

Create Focal Points with Color

Use color to draw attention to specific areas or elements in the room. For instance, you can paint an accent wall in a bold color or use colorful furniture, bold artwork, or brightly colored pillows and accessories to create a focal point. These focal points of color are like those fancy accessories that complete an outfit.  They’re the pops of color that add personality to your space.   

textured wallpaperA blue textured wallpaper on one wall that coordinates with the blue leather accents on the dining room chairs create a focal point that harmonizes with the entire design of the room

Consider the Flow Between Rooms

If your home has an open floor plan or if rooms are visible from one another, consider how colors will flow from one space to another. Choose colors that complement each other or create a harmonious transition between rooms to ensure a cohesive and visually pleasing overall look.

Don’t Forget the Power of the Fifth Wall – Your Ceiling

Painting it a lighter shade can make your room feel more open and spacious. Or if you’re feeling adventurous painting all five walls a vibrant color is a design risk that can really pay off.

All five walls, along with all trim, are painted a vibrant blue in this saturated room of color.

Now that you’re armed with a bit of color theory magic, go ahead and experiment! Your space is like a canvas, and you’re the artist. Mix and match, try different combinations, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through those colors. Need help choosing colors for an interior design project in Aiken, Atlanta, or Greenville? We’d love to help.

How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles https://nandinahome.com/interior-design-sweet-spot-four-styles/ Thu, 26 Jan 2023 14:04:52 +0000 https://nandinahome.com/?p=17306 Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to...

Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to convince you that on a personal level there are five good reasons to dive in to defining your interior design sweet spot.   

    1. You will become a selective Shopper – Once you understand the basic interior design styles and their components you will be able to identify the characteristics of the style that you want your home to reflect.  Knowing what you love and what fits into the style of your home makes impulse buying, well , much less impulsive! You won’t be tempted to purchase that oversized floral, rolled arm sofa if you want your home to reflect a minimalist modern vibe!
    2. Investment purchasing will be part of your long term design strategy.  Remember when our parents or grandparents would purchase a sofa or a chest.  Those investment pieces would be reupholstered, moved from room to room, passed on to children and grandchildren.  We need to think about building the rooms of our homes around investment pieces that will stand the test of time.  A beautiful bespoke chest could be the foundation of a living room plan and later moved to a hall or bedroom.   
    3. Your rooms will fit you, just like your favorite clothes do.  Our homes and the rooms that make up our homes should be a reflection of who we are and what we value.  Once you realize what style of rooms bring you joy, comfort and confidence, you will love being in  your home the same way you love pulling on your favorite sweater.

The more you understand the style you love, the more you will be able to do the look for less

You should always have a budget for all of your interior design projects.  Knowing the design style that you are trying to achieve will give you the freedom and courage to splurge on some items while filling in frugally with other items.  In the design world we call this mixing high and low, or “how to get the look for less”.   

Knowing your style and executing it well, will help you achieve a home that you love.

Trying to define your personal style without having a basic understanding of the core interior design styles is a bit like planning a trip to the beach but not having any idea what route to get there or exactly which beach you want to end up on.   The elements of each design style are kin to a good roadmap (or in this day and age a GPS)  So let’s jump in and define the elements of the Four Core Interior Design Styles: Traditional, Modern, Transitional and Eclectic

Traditional Design

If you are drawn to traditional interior design style, you love a beautiful antique piece of furniture, rich wood tones in your furnishings, floral fabrics, hand knotted oriental rugs, skirted sofas and chairs, fringes and tapes on your drapes, and symmetry in your arrangements. 

Key elements of traditional style:

  • Classic 18th and 19th century  English antiques 
  • Furnishings with strong European influences
  • Rich textured fabrics
  • Stripes, plaids, florals
  • Symmetry
  • Gilt , tassels
  • Skirts, rolled arms, highly carved furnishings
  • Wallpaper, layered collections

Modern Design

Loving clean lines, uncluttered interiors, the combination of stone, glass, and mixed metals, and a monochromatic color palette are characteristics of a Modernist – a lover of Modern interior design.  There are many modern elements that are classics – since modernism first appeared on the design scene as early as the 1920’s 

Elements of Modern Style:

  • Sleek, clean lines, basic shapes
  • Muted – neutral color palette as the base
  • Furniture and accessories are lower to ground
  • Stone, metal, glass
  • Uncluttered! Has a strong minimalist vibe
  • No skirts, track arms vs rolled arms
  • Leather, hides, bold graphic patterns
modern interior design example

Transitional Design

The perfect blend of Modern and Traditional is the style that is described as Transitional.  Transitional balances sophisticated style with comfort to achieve a balanced interior, which effortlessly combines equal measures of Modern and Traditional elements.  Furnishings are comfortable but clean lined with stylish silhouettes, fabrics are rich but not overly ornate, like neutral velvets, mohairs, fresh linens.  An antique chest can share space with a modern abstract piece of art, and a classic hand knotted oushak rug.  No wonder that Transitional style is so popular – it reflects a more contemporary attitude of casual yet sophisticated interiors that are frequently warm and inviting.

Transitional Design Elements:

  • Seamlessly merges feminine/masculine, simple/sophisticated, sleek/curved or carved
  • Clean patterns, warm tones
  • Plush materials
  • Timeless, elegant and inviting
  • Track arms, mix of legs and skirt 
  • Mix of materials
  • Mix of art
  • Tone on tone or just pops of color

Eclectic

If you are into richly layered patterns and colors and the art of mixing seemingly disparate styles than you may be a fan of eclectic design.  Gallery walls, pattern on pattern textiles, a strong mix of furniture styles, and the use of statement objects are just a few of the characteristics that define an Eclectic styled room.

Eclectic Style:

  • Harmonization of seemingly disparate style, textures, and colors
  • Pair different design eras and genres – antique, farmhouse, modern, French, art deco
  • Don’t buy the set!!  Furniture and accessories need to look curated and not like a matching set
  • The look is controlled chaos – you can add in visual layers with lots of textures – without adding visual cacophony
  • Make it personal!!
eclectic interior design example

Nandina Home & Design – Shelly Marshall Schmidt

eclectic

Christina Scharf Design

The best part of understanding what elements define the Core Four design styles is that most of the popular design interiors you recognize today are a combination of these basic design styles.  I love to describe popular interior design styles like Bohemian,  Mid Century Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Modern Classic, Glamour

Some of today’s popular interior design mash ups:

  • Bohemian – a mix of eclectic and ethnic
  • Mid Century Modern – Mix of 50’s modern and  industrial 
  • Modern Farmhouse – Mix  modern, transitional, vintage and  industrial
  • Modern Classic or New Traditional –  Mixing the European influences of traditional design with classic modern elements (think Ralph Lauren!)
  • Hollywood Glamour – the perfect mix of eclectic and modern, bold uses of color with high contrast metals, glass and stone.

There are many more mash ups of interior design styles but once you master the basics you will better understand the design elements that best represent your personal style.  What could be better than to live in spaces that are well designed, beautiful and that perfectly reflect you! If you’re looking for an interior designer in Greenville, Atlanta, or Aiken – our team would love to help!

Back to Busy…

Custom Homes for Active Families 

 

The end of Summer and the first few weeks of Fall mean back to school, back to schedules and “back to busy” for many of us. While the re-establishment of routine is welcome, the loss of free-flowing, long summer days can feel overwhelming.  

In our most recent N Home publication we showcased two homes that were custom-built and designed with very busy families in mind. Let’s take a look into how seamlessly chaos can be formed into stylish function.  

 

Planned to Perfection

Design by: Susan Victor, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When you have two married surgeons, three young children and a cat, your life has to function like a well-oiled machine and your home needs to support that perfectly coordinated crew. When I was approached by this client to collaborate on the design of their new home, I quickly realized that how the space would function would be paramount to the overall success of this project. What you see following showcases a work-horse of a home that is the perfect example of the beauty of functional design. 

Great Room, Kitchen

The large great room needed to be sophisticated enough for entertaining and casual enough for the kids to lounge in after dinner. A pair of sectionals that face the fireplace allow for plenty of seating but their sleek mid-century styling makes the overall design sophisticated enough for entertaining.

Laundry Room

The laundry room incorporates a table to act as a desk or for a special school project or arts and crafts.

Mudroom

The mud room entry off of the garage boasts colorful character and organization for all of the paraphernalia that is needed for daily activities.

Custom built bunkbeds became the focal point of a boy’s room and made sharing a space as brothers into an adventure. 

Kid's Room

In an upstairs combination study and game room, we were able to find additional, creative space for beds hidden within the eaves of the roof line.  It  just required a little ingenuity and a great custom carpenter. What a great spot for sleepovers!

This project was filled with joy at every turn and I am proud to say the end result allowed every space the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the family.” Susan Victor

 

Nestled In Nature

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When these clients set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in an established neighborhood but also find a strong connection to the serenity of nature. This project brought an exciting challenge to create a space that would evoke a sense of calm and a retreat from the busy lifestyle created by two engaged professionals and two active tweens. In the end, we were able to create something for everyone and find a place where a young family can enter, connect to nature and to each other. 

FoyerImmediately upon entry, you are stunned by the breathtaking views and openness of the main living space. 

Great Room, Lake View

The design of the open-concept living/dining space seamlessly connects to the terrace. This provides an ideal space for entertaining family and friends while maintaining an elegantly welcoming character complete with reclaimed beams, classically transitional furniture and comfortable upholstery.

Kitchen, Dining Room

Foyer, Tile Floor, Mudroom

An inset tile rug at the mudroom entry functions to define the space and capture the dirt and sand before transitioning to the wood floors.

The upstairs houses two fun-loving girls with inspired design styles. Each one had a vision to carry out for their private space and now can share it with friends or curl-up with a good book. In one of the rooms, we designed a custom-built pop-up style desk under the window for efficiency and functionality. 

“Successfully melding the personalities of a family and creating a functional home based on how they live is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a designer.” Sue Shannon

The Beauty of Design 

Can beautiful design be defined or is it truly in the eyes of the beholder? At Nandina we believe that beautiful design is a fine balance of the personal and the definable. Your home is inherently an extension of you – your desires, your family’s personality and values, your idea of style and beauty. Working with our clients to create spaces that reflect beautiful design is our passion.

When this couple set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in a neighborhood but have a space that connected them to them to the serenity of nature.

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Interior Design in Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

The Beauty of Lifestyle Design 

Lifestyle design is based on the theory of intentionally crafting a way of life or a style of living. At Nandina we often base our design on the theory that we don’t design rooms, we help our clients create a lifestyle. A home that reflects and reinforces the life you live is a home based on beautiful lifestyle design. family living room, coiffured ceiling, performance fabrics, design with balance

Although the great room, kitchen and dining area are the epitome of sophisticated style, it is the heart of this family’s home. Performance fabrics, stain resistance carpets, and furniture that can handle daily use allow for comfort and the wear and tear of an active family with pets.

The most surprising element of design in this project is the lounge room. This couple was not afraid to work with color, texture and modern elements; they wanted their home to be an expression of their personalities…welcoming, stylish, and fun!

Throughout the design, textiles and color were used to add warmth and character, providing a modern aesthetic that is richly layered and reflective of our client’s personality.

The Beauty of Functional Design 

A home is so much more than a beautiful showroom of perfectly placed furniture, rugs, art and accessories.  If well designed, every space within the home will serve the needs of those that dwell within it. A functional design addresses all areas of you and your families’ daily activities.  Great functional design is based on how you specifically want to live in a space. custom furniture, kid's playroom, functional storage

Capturing unused space under the eaves of the roof line is a perfect example of functional design. These custom-designed roll out beds work great for slumber parties or additional house guests for this active and social family.

To introduce a more urban vibe we chose to accessorize the space more asymmetrically. Replacing original large mirrors with a Currey and Company buffet and art provided a beautiful look with the added extra storage she needed.

When previous clients approached Lori to design their new condo in Newburyport, MA they had just moved from a beautiful home in Charleston’s Low Country. They wanted this new home in New England to reflect warmth and comfort with a nod to the design elements from the Charleston home they had grown to love.

Design by: Lori Marvel, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Glenn Livermore Photography

The Beauty of Creative Design 

Creative design is ingenious and innovative, original and visionary. As designers we work to create functional spaces that fit our client’s lifestyles but ultimately judging the success of the design will hinge on the creativity of the design. It may be the use of color or surface selections in an unusual ways, or bringing traditionally outdoor product inside, or using furniture in new and innovative ways. historical homes, modern interior design, Charleston, south carolina

What we loved so much about this project was the rich historical feel of the architecture juxtaposed with the creatively layered modern interiors. The owner has a unique sense of style that is reflected in each room by incorporating into the design something personal, cultivated and striking.  

Design by: Ashley Diggelmann, Nandina Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidtoriginal art, modern interiors, modern lighting

Art played a big role in defining the personality of the home – quirky, collected, colorful – each piece used throughout was purposely chosen and intentionally placed.

The backsplash tile, a beautiful marble mosaic with gold inlay, drove the design. The combination of a warm marble style counter top and the addition of natural wood in select areas creates a kitchen that is the best of both worlds…dressy and casual.

Living by the Water

For most of us over this past year home has become our haven, a safe harbor in a world that suddenly felt unsafe, a place where we retreated and revived, and thankfully found peace and comfort. We can find safety, joy and sanctuary in how our spaces interplay with nature, as in the majesty and stillness of mountains or the calm of a lake’s still waters.  

We are grateful to have been involved in several client projects that have created meaningful, joyful and calming homes by the water.

The aspect of how the water met the horizon brought the greatest sense of peace and inspiration for this project. When my clients discussed how they wanted the interiors to function and feel, their clear goal was to achieve a family home that would feel like a sanctuary, retreat and safe harbor of love for their extended family. – John Ishmael

The biggest challenge for this project was to design a home that would meld together their new surroundings with their previous belongings in order to make a comfortable, beautiful, warm and welcoming lakeside sanctuary. Every room gracefully mixes French and English antiques with casual rugs, comfortable neutral sofas and chairs, and a color palette that speaks to life on the lake. – Susan Victor Living by the Water

My clients desired to create a clean-lined modern beach house that could be a haven for their family and friends, but also have furnishings suitable for luxury rentals. The end result boasts a home filled with joyous touches, a fresh coastal vibe and an appreciation for those that spend time there. – Sue Shannon

The main criteria of this design revolved around the lake, which brings such joy to this family, and all of the main rooms open to a beautiful lake view. It has been my good fortune to work with this family, who live full-time on a lake, over several years to methodically create a home that reflects both their interests and personalities. – Michele Merritt Living by the Water

Garden Club Event at Nandina Home and Design in Greenville

In March, our Greenville interior design team hosted a ladies’ garden club in our newest showroom. Designers Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor developed an interactive project for the group that drew inspiration from florals.  

“We wanted to tie back to the nature of the organization and incorporate how florals can be an integral part of a design plan. BethAnn and I designed a mood board, in advance, with one red tulip as our inspiration; we then let the group break up into teams and compile their own cohesive designs plans around the floral of their choice. By offering rug samples, fabric and wall covering swatches and small accessories, each group was able to get first-hand experience in to what elements are involved when pulling a design plan together.”

Come in to meet our design team of Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor, both Upstate natives who have returned to Greenville to apply their ample, diverse experience to Greenville homes with excitement and renewed perspective. Nandina Home Greenville


Ashley Diggelmann, ALLIED ASID | Lead Designer

“Home is the framework of memories; a place where you relax, laugh and share stories. I draw inspiration for my work from people and how they live. The focus of designing spaces for my clients’ centers around making room for their lives. Whether a new build, styling, residential or commercial, collected or modern, the best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”

A native of the Upstate, Ashley received her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Anderson University. She comes to Nandina with eight years of experience from GDC Home in Charleston, SC. She has gained a vast amount of experience working on residential, hospitality and commercial projects and approaches each project with the desire to marry both beauty and function. Her extensive work with architects and contractors has brought vision to her work and her distinct style is a blend of whimsey and sophistication. She loves assisting clients with a wide range of challenges, including selecting architectural details and finishes, decorating a functional, beautiful space, and creating custom pieces tailor-made to expertly reflect clients’ personal taste and style.  Nandina Home

BethAnn Connor, ALLIED ASID | Associate Designer  

“From a young age, I’ve been drawn to interior design because I love being able to design beautiful spaces that bring joy, comfort, and serenity. Your home is a reflection of you and each room in your home should showcase your passions and personality. As a designer, my goal is to seamlessly blend functionality, aesthetics, and personal style to create a home that tells the story of you and your family.”

BethAnn, a native to Greenville, began working with Nandina Home & Design in Aiken after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. While with Nandina, BethAnn worked closely with one of the principal designers in Aiken on varying residential and commercial projects. After three and a half years, she moved to Dallas, TX to work for a large residential design firm, IBB Fine Furnishings, joining a team supporting a nationally recognized designer. While at IBB, BethAnn gained experience working on large-scale, luxury projects in a fast-paced, urban environment. She was able to grow her interior design expertise and explore new techniques with color, design, space, and textures. BethAnn strives to make designs beautiful, yet functional and loves incorporating color, antiques, and bold accents when designing spaces. In her free time, she enjoys going on walks, watching movies, yoga, and spending time with friends and family.

On November 30, 2023, the Nandina team gathered in Greenville alongside friends, family, and colleagues to celebrate design and the closing of a prosperous year. Inspired by N Home Magazine’s latest issue, the event was titled, Elements of Design. Featuring tasty hors d’oeuvres, and mixologist-crafted cocktails, it was truly a testament to the creative process. Sponsored in part by Foster Victor and Atlanta-based Currey & CompanyElements of Design was additionally a celebration of the relationships we maintain with our clients and vendors.

Great vendors like Currey & Company are paramount to any successful design project. They provide our design teams with the quality products required to complete their clients’ visions and often share information regarding the ever-changing interior design industry news, trends, and knowledge. In this spirit, Susan Victor sat down with Aimee Kurzner, Director of Furniture at Currey & Company, to discuss her career and design. Aimee shared her invaluable insights, noting the significance of the design elements to her creative process. 

What are the Elements of Design?

Interior designers use elements such as color, composition, texture, lighting, and balance to shape the ultimate aesthetic and practicality of a design. They are used to create artful layers that authentically and stylishly reflect a client’s preferences, personality, and lifestyle.

Here’s how the Nandina design teams use the elements of design to create beautiful, unique, and practical designs for their clients.

Proportion

Proportion addresses spatial relationships, or the relative size and scale of various elements within a room. Proportion enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space all while fostering a sense of equilibrium and comfort. Achieving proper proportion is a key reason as to why many interior design projects often begin with taking measurements and snapping photographs. This is a fundamental step because designers must reference these when making furniture, lighting, and accessory selections. 

Balance

Similar to proportion, balance is all about equilibrium. It can be attained through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements. Symmetrical arrangements are cohesive and inherently tidy. Asymmetrical arrangements have distinct visual elements that are positioned on opposite sides of a design, yet the overall composition appears balanced. 

Lighting

Currey and Company is known for its bespoke lighting fixtures. Beautiful lighting plays a pivotal role in imbuing a space with ambiance and mood. To emphasize this point, The Washington Post released an article last year regarding the importance of lighting selections, noting its ability to affect your psychological state and circadian rhythm. Lighting contributes to the overall design aesthetic, sometimes acting as an accessory or focal point. 

Texture & Pattern

Our Nandina designers think of texture as just another color. The introduction of various textures and patterns in area rugs, furniture, wallpaper, and art adds depth and visual intrigue. Texture and pattern enhance the tactile appeal of a design, giving a room dimension through its palpable layers. 

Color

Like lighting, color possesses the ability to transform the mood of a room or space. When skillfully chosen, color can set its intended tone. Bold colors, such as orange and lime green, bring dynamism and life to a design. Neutral palettes, on the other hand, tend to elicit feelings of serenity and calm. 

Emphasis

Emphasis creates a focal point, directing attention to a specific area or element within a room. This attention-grabbing effect can be crafted through the strategic use of the other design elements, such as lighting, color, and accessories. Emphasis adds drama and flair. Think of emphasis as the exclamation point of design! 

Well-curated Accents & Accessories

Accents and accessories heighten the visual allure of a design. Whether it’s artwork, sculptures, cherished heirlooms, or bold statement pieces, these details contribute to a space’s personality. Accents and accessories serve as the narrative essence in the realm of design, reflecting the stories and personalities of the homeowners.  

Composition

Finally, there’s composition. This design element involves the harmonious interplay of the design elements within a single design. While it may be challenging to define, successful composition is unmistakable. It guarantees that every detail collaborates seamlessly. 

Do you Need the Assistance of Passionate Professionals?

Interior Design is a multi-faceted profession that requires rigorous creativity, empathy, and technical expertise. At its core, interior design beats the pulse of passion. It is the heart of the profession and something worth celebrating. Like Aimee Kurzner, the designers that make up Nandina Home & Design are rich in knowledge and passion. If you are looking for interior design assistance, allow us to assist you. Our philosophy that designs should always reflect the “Real Life” and “Real Style” of our clients is practiced across all our passionate, talented, and experienced design teams.

As interior designers the use of color is one of the most critical design tools that we can use, and at Nandina we love color.  Here are some of our tried and true tips on how to use color to create amazing spaces in every design project.

Start with a Color Palette

Choose a color palette that suits your interior design style and the mood you want to create in the room. Picking the right colors isn’t just about what looks pretty (although that’s a big part of it!). Consider the overall theme, the purpose of the space, and your personal preferences. You can create a monochromatic scheme using various shades of a single color, or opt for complementary or analogous colors for a more vibrant look. Complementary and analogous colors are concepts that are part of the overall field of “color theory”. 

Use a Color Wheel

If choosing colors feels complicated then meet your new best friend the color wheel – it’s like your ultimate color cheat sheet. Opposite colors on the wheel, like red and green, are called complementary colors. They’re like a match made in color heaven, bringing out the best in each other. And then there are analogous colors, which are neighbors on the wheel. They play so well together, creating a harmonious and seamless look.

The color wheel – your new best friend

Use Color to Set the Mood   

Different colors evoke different emotions and moods. Imagine walking into a room that’s like a warm hug – cozy, inviting, and just feels right. That’s the magic of color psychology! Each color has its own personality, and it can totally affect your mood. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows bring in energy and excitement. They’re like that friend who’s always up for an adventure.  But if you’re all about chill vibes and tranquility, cool colors like blues and greens are your go-to pals. They create a calm and serene atmosphere – perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings with a book and a cup of tea.

Balance Bold and Neutral Colors

If you want to incorporate bold or vibrant colors into your space, balance them with neutral colors. Neutrals like white, beige, gray, or taupe can serve as a backdrop that allows your accent colors to shine. This balance helps prevent the space from becoming overwhelming and ensures a cohesive look.

blue and green roomThe large white sectional and white walls are the perfect backdrop to the vibrant blues and greens in the pillows, art and rug in this playful den

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Monochromatic

Ever heard of monochromatic magic? It’s all about sticking to shades of a single color. Picture a room dressed in various shades of blue – from pale sky to deep navy.  It’s a classy and sophisticated look that’s easy on the eyes. 

neutral dining roomThis monochromatic dining room screams sophistication with multiple shades of gray, textured wallpaper and a stunning chandelier that pulls it all together

Experiment with Textures 

Colors can interact with different textures to create visual interest. Play with a variety of materials such as velvet, silk, wood, or metal, as they can add depth and richness to your color scheme. Textured surfaces can also reflect light differently, altering the perception of color in a space.

textured neutral roomThis monochromatic bedroom could have fallen flat, instead a textured wood paneled wall, a sculptural ratan chair and a large furry hide add the change in materials that make this room interesting and inviting

Create Focal Points with Color

Use color to draw attention to specific areas or elements in the room. For instance, you can paint an accent wall in a bold color or use colorful furniture, bold artwork, or brightly colored pillows and accessories to create a focal point. These focal points of color are like those fancy accessories that complete an outfit.  They’re the pops of color that add personality to your space.   

textured wallpaperA blue textured wallpaper on one wall that coordinates with the blue leather accents on the dining room chairs create a focal point that harmonizes with the entire design of the room

Consider the Flow Between Rooms

If your home has an open floor plan or if rooms are visible from one another, consider how colors will flow from one space to another. Choose colors that complement each other or create a harmonious transition between rooms to ensure a cohesive and visually pleasing overall look.

Don’t Forget the Power of the Fifth Wall – Your Ceiling

Painting it a lighter shade can make your room feel more open and spacious. Or if you’re feeling adventurous painting all five walls a vibrant color is a design risk that can really pay off.

All five walls, along with all trim, are painted a vibrant blue in this saturated room of color.

Now that you’re armed with a bit of color theory magic, go ahead and experiment! Your space is like a canvas, and you’re the artist. Mix and match, try different combinations, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through those colors. Need help choosing colors for an interior design project in Aiken, Atlanta, or Greenville? We’d love to help.

How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles https://nandinahome.com/interior-design-sweet-spot-four-styles/ Thu, 26 Jan 2023 14:04:52 +0000 https://nandinahome.com/?p=17306 Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to...

The post How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles appeared first on Nandina Home & Design.

Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to convince you that on a personal level there are five good reasons to dive in to defining your interior design sweet spot.   

    1. You will become a selective Shopper – Once you understand the basic interior design styles and their components you will be able to identify the characteristics of the style that you want your home to reflect.  Knowing what you love and what fits into the style of your home makes impulse buying, well , much less impulsive! You won’t be tempted to purchase that oversized floral, rolled arm sofa if you want your home to reflect a minimalist modern vibe!
    2. Investment purchasing will be part of your long term design strategy.  Remember when our parents or grandparents would purchase a sofa or a chest.  Those investment pieces would be reupholstered, moved from room to room, passed on to children and grandchildren.  We need to think about building the rooms of our homes around investment pieces that will stand the test of time.  A beautiful bespoke chest could be the foundation of a living room plan and later moved to a hall or bedroom.   
    3. Your rooms will fit you, just like your favorite clothes do.  Our homes and the rooms that make up our homes should be a reflection of who we are and what we value.  Once you realize what style of rooms bring you joy, comfort and confidence, you will love being in  your home the same way you love pulling on your favorite sweater.

The more you understand the style you love, the more you will be able to do the look for less

You should always have a budget for all of your interior design projects.  Knowing the design style that you are trying to achieve will give you the freedom and courage to splurge on some items while filling in frugally with other items.  In the design world we call this mixing high and low, or “how to get the look for less”.   

Knowing your style and executing it well, will help you achieve a home that you love.

Trying to define your personal style without having a basic understanding of the core interior design styles is a bit like planning a trip to the beach but not having any idea what route to get there or exactly which beach you want to end up on.   The elements of each design style are kin to a good roadmap (or in this day and age a GPS)  So let’s jump in and define the elements of the Four Core Interior Design Styles: Traditional, Modern, Transitional and Eclectic

Traditional Design

If you are drawn to traditional interior design style, you love a beautiful antique piece of furniture, rich wood tones in your furnishings, floral fabrics, hand knotted oriental rugs, skirted sofas and chairs, fringes and tapes on your drapes, and symmetry in your arrangements. 

Key elements of traditional style:

  • Classic 18th and 19th century  English antiques 
  • Furnishings with strong European influences
  • Rich textured fabrics
  • Stripes, plaids, florals
  • Symmetry
  • Gilt , tassels
  • Skirts, rolled arms, highly carved furnishings
  • Wallpaper, layered collections

Modern Design

Loving clean lines, uncluttered interiors, the combination of stone, glass, and mixed metals, and a monochromatic color palette are characteristics of a Modernist – a lover of Modern interior design.  There are many modern elements that are classics – since modernism first appeared on the design scene as early as the 1920’s 

Elements of Modern Style:

  • Sleek, clean lines, basic shapes
  • Muted – neutral color palette as the base
  • Furniture and accessories are lower to ground
  • Stone, metal, glass
  • Uncluttered! Has a strong minimalist vibe
  • No skirts, track arms vs rolled arms
  • Leather, hides, bold graphic patterns
modern interior design example

Nandina Home & Design – Shelly Marshall Schmidt

Transitional Design

The perfect blend of Modern and Traditional is the style that is described as Transitional.  Transitional balances sophisticated style with comfort to achieve a balanced interior, which effortlessly combines equal measures of Modern and Traditional elements.  Furnishings are comfortable but clean lined with stylish silhouettes, fabrics are rich but not overly ornate, like neutral velvets, mohairs, fresh linens.  An antique chest can share space with a modern abstract piece of art, and a classic hand knotted oushak rug.  No wonder that Transitional style is so popular – it reflects a more contemporary attitude of casual yet sophisticated interiors that are frequently warm and inviting.

Transitional Design Elements:

  • Seamlessly merges feminine/masculine, simple/sophisticated, sleek/curved or carved
  • Clean patterns, warm tones
  • Plush materials
  • Timeless, elegant and inviting
  • Track arms, mix of legs and skirt 
  • Mix of materials
  • Mix of art
  • Tone on tone or just pops of color
traditional interior design example

Eclectic

If you are into richly layered patterns and colors and the art of mixing seemingly disparate styles than you may be a fan of eclectic design.  Gallery walls, pattern on pattern textiles, a strong mix of furniture styles, and the use of statement objects are just a few of the characteristics that define an Eclectic styled room.

Eclectic Style:

  • Harmonization of seemingly disparate style, textures, and colors
  • Pair different design eras and genres – antique, farmhouse, modern, French, art deco
  • Don’t buy the set!!  Furniture and accessories need to look curated and not like a matching set
  • The look is controlled chaos – you can add in visual layers with lots of textures – without adding visual cacophony
  • Make it personal!!
eclectic interior design example

Nandina Home & Design – Shelly Marshall Schmidt

eclectic

Christina Scharf Design

The best part of understanding what elements define the Core Four design styles is that most of the popular design interiors you recognize today are a combination of these basic design styles.  I love to describe popular interior design styles like Bohemian,  Mid Century Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Modern Classic, Glamour

Some of today’s popular interior design mash ups:

  • Bohemian – a mix of eclectic and ethnic
  • Mid Century Modern – Mix of 50’s modern and  industrial 
  • Modern Farmhouse – Mix  modern, transitional, vintage and  industrial
  • Modern Classic or New Traditional –  Mixing the European influences of traditional design with classic modern elements (think Ralph Lauren!)
  • Hollywood Glamour – the perfect mix of eclectic and modern, bold uses of color with high contrast metals, glass and stone.

There are many more mash ups of interior design styles but once you master the basics you will better understand the design elements that best represent your personal style.  What could be better than to live in spaces that are well designed, beautiful and that perfectly reflect you! If you’re looking for an interior designer in Greenville, Atlanta, or Aiken – our team would love to help!

Back to Busy…

Custom Homes for Active Families 

 

The end of Summer and the first few weeks of Fall mean back to school, back to schedules and “back to busy” for many of us. While the re-establishment of routine is welcome, the loss of free-flowing, long summer days can feel overwhelming.  

In our most recent N Home publication we showcased two homes that were custom-built and designed with very busy families in mind. Let’s take a look into how seamlessly chaos can be formed into stylish function.  

 

Planned to Perfection

Design by: Susan Victor, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When you have two married surgeons, three young children and a cat, your life has to function like a well-oiled machine and your home needs to support that perfectly coordinated crew. When I was approached by this client to collaborate on the design of their new home, I quickly realized that how the space would function would be paramount to the overall success of this project. What you see following showcases a work-horse of a home that is the perfect example of the beauty of functional design. 

Great Room, Kitchen

The large great room needed to be sophisticated enough for entertaining and casual enough for the kids to lounge in after dinner. A pair of sectionals that face the fireplace allow for plenty of seating but their sleek mid-century styling makes the overall design sophisticated enough for entertaining.

Laundry Room

The laundry room incorporates a table to act as a desk or for a special school project or arts and crafts.

Mudroom

The mud room entry off of the garage boasts colorful character and organization for all of the paraphernalia that is needed for daily activities.

Custom built bunkbeds became the focal point of a boy’s room and made sharing a space as brothers into an adventure. 

Kid's Room

In an upstairs combination study and game room, we were able to find additional, creative space for beds hidden within the eaves of the roof line.  It  just required a little ingenuity and a great custom carpenter. What a great spot for sleepovers!

This project was filled with joy at every turn and I am proud to say the end result allowed every space the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the family.” Susan Victor

 

Nestled In Nature

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When these clients set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in an established neighborhood but also find a strong connection to the serenity of nature. This project brought an exciting challenge to create a space that would evoke a sense of calm and a retreat from the busy lifestyle created by two engaged professionals and two active tweens. In the end, we were able to create something for everyone and find a place where a young family can enter, connect to nature and to each other. 

FoyerImmediately upon entry, you are stunned by the breathtaking views and openness of the main living space. 

Great Room, Lake View

The design of the open-concept living/dining space seamlessly connects to the terrace. This provides an ideal space for entertaining family and friends while maintaining an elegantly welcoming character complete with reclaimed beams, classically transitional furniture and comfortable upholstery.

Kitchen, Dining Room

Foyer, Tile Floor, Mudroom

An inset tile rug at the mudroom entry functions to define the space and capture the dirt and sand before transitioning to the wood floors.

The upstairs houses two fun-loving girls with inspired design styles. Each one had a vision to carry out for their private space and now can share it with friends or curl-up with a good book. In one of the rooms, we designed a custom-built pop-up style desk under the window for efficiency and functionality. 

“Successfully melding the personalities of a family and creating a functional home based on how they live is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a designer.” Sue Shannon

The Beauty of Design 

Can beautiful design be defined or is it truly in the eyes of the beholder? At Nandina we believe that beautiful design is a fine balance of the personal and the definable. Your home is inherently an extension of you – your desires, your family’s personality and values, your idea of style and beauty. Working with our clients to create spaces that reflect beautiful design is our passion.

Lifestyle design is based on the theory of intentionally crafting a way of life or a style of living. At Nandina we often base our design on the theory that we don’t design rooms, we help our clients create a lifestyle. A home that reflects and reinforces the life you live is a home based on beautiful lifestyle design. family living room, coiffured ceiling, performance fabrics, design with balance

Although the great room, kitchen and dining area are the epitome of sophisticated style, it is the heart of this family’s home. Performance fabrics, stain resistance carpets, and furniture that can handle daily use allow for comfort and the wear and tear of an active family with pets.

The most surprising element of design in this project is the lounge room. This couple was not afraid to work with color, texture and modern elements; they wanted their home to be an expression of their personalities…welcoming, stylish, and fun!

Throughout the design, textiles and color were used to add warmth and character, providing a modern aesthetic that is richly layered and reflective of our client’s personality.

The Beauty of Functional Design 

A home is so much more than a beautiful showroom of perfectly placed furniture, rugs, art and accessories.  If well designed, every space within the home will serve the needs of those that dwell within it. A functional design addresses all areas of you and your families’ daily activities.  Great functional design is based on how you specifically want to live in a space. custom furniture, kid's playroom, functional storage

Capturing unused space under the eaves of the roof line is a perfect example of functional design. These custom-designed roll out beds work great for slumber parties or additional house guests for this active and social family.

To introduce a more urban vibe we chose to accessorize the space more asymmetrically. Replacing original large mirrors with a Currey and Company buffet and art provided a beautiful look with the added extra storage she needed.

When previous clients approached Lori to design their new condo in Newburyport, MA they had just moved from a beautiful home in Charleston’s Low Country. They wanted this new home in New England to reflect warmth and comfort with a nod to the design elements from the Charleston home they had grown to love.

The Beauty of Creative Design 

Creative design is ingenious and innovative, original and visionary. As designers we work to create functional spaces that fit our client’s lifestyles but ultimately judging the success of the design will hinge on the creativity of the design. It may be the use of color or surface selections in an unusual ways, or bringing traditionally outdoor product inside, or using furniture in new and innovative ways. historical homes, modern interior design, Charleston, south carolina

What we loved so much about this project was the rich historical feel of the architecture juxtaposed with the creatively layered modern interiors. The owner has a unique sense of style that is reflected in each room by incorporating into the design something personal, cultivated and striking.

Art played a big role in defining the personality of the home – quirky, collected, colorful – each piece used throughout was purposely chosen and intentionally placed.

The backsplash tile, a beautiful marble mosaic with gold inlay, drove the design. The combination of a warm marble style counter top and the addition of natural wood in select areas creates a kitchen that is the best of both worlds…dressy and casual.

Living by the Water

For most of us over this past year home has become our haven, a safe harbor in a world that suddenly felt unsafe, a place where we retreated and revived, and thankfully found peace and comfort. We can find safety, joy and sanctuary in how our spaces interplay with nature, as in the majesty and stillness of mountains or the calm of a lake’s still waters.  

We are grateful to have been involved in several client projects that have created meaningful, joyful and calming homes by the water.

The aspect of how the water met the horizon brought the greatest sense of peace and inspiration for this project. When my clients discussed how they wanted the interiors to function and feel, their clear goal was to achieve a family home that would feel like a sanctuary, retreat and safe harbor of love for their extended family. – John Ishmael

The biggest challenge for this project was to design a home that would meld together their new surroundings with their previous belongings in order to make a comfortable, beautiful, warm and welcoming lakeside sanctuary. Every room gracefully mixes French and English antiques with casual rugs, comfortable neutral sofas and chairs, and a color palette that speaks to life on the lake. – Susan Victor Living by the Water

My clients desired to create a clean-lined modern beach house that could be a haven for their family and friends, but also have furnishings suitable for luxury rentals. The end result boasts a home filled with joyous touches, a fresh coastal vibe and an appreciation for those that spend time there. – Sue Shannon

The main criteria of this design revolved around the lake, which brings such joy to this family, and all of the main rooms open to a beautiful lake view. It has been my good fortune to work with this family, who live full-time on a lake, over several years to methodically create a home that reflects both their interests and personalities. – Michele Merritt Living by the Water

Garden Club Event at Nandina Home and Design in Greenville

In March, our Greenville interior design team hosted a ladies’ garden club in our newest showroom. Designers Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor developed an interactive project for the group that drew inspiration from florals.  

“We wanted to tie back to the nature of the organization and incorporate how florals can be an integral part of a design plan. BethAnn and I designed a mood board, in advance, with one red tulip as our inspiration; we then let the group break up into teams and compile their own cohesive designs plans around the floral of their choice. By offering rug samples, fabric and wall covering swatches and small accessories, each group was able to get first-hand experience in to what elements are involved when pulling a design plan together.”

Come in to meet our design team of Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor, both Upstate natives who have returned to Greenville to apply their ample, diverse experience to Greenville homes with excitement and renewed perspective. Nandina Home Greenville


Ashley Diggelmann, ALLIED ASID | Lead Designer

“Home is the framework of memories; a place where you relax, laugh and share stories. I draw inspiration for my work from people and how they live. The focus of designing spaces for my clients’ centers around making room for their lives. Whether a new build, styling, residential or commercial, collected or modern, the best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”

A native of the Upstate, Ashley received her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Anderson University. She comes to Nandina with eight years of experience from GDC Home in Charleston, SC. She has gained a vast amount of experience working on residential, hospitality and commercial projects and approaches each project with the desire to marry both beauty and function. Her extensive work with architects and contractors has brought vision to her work and her distinct style is a blend of whimsey and sophistication. She loves assisting clients with a wide range of challenges, including selecting architectural details and finishes, decorating a functional, beautiful space, and creating custom pieces tailor-made to expertly reflect clients’ personal taste and style.  Nandina Home

BethAnn Connor, ALLIED ASID | Associate Designer  

“From a young age, I’ve been drawn to interior design because I love being able to design beautiful spaces that bring joy, comfort, and serenity. Your home is a reflection of you and each room in your home should showcase your passions and personality. As a designer, my goal is to seamlessly blend functionality, aesthetics, and personal style to create a home that tells the story of you and your family.”

BethAnn, a native to Greenville, began working with Nandina Home & Design in Aiken after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. While with Nandina, BethAnn worked closely with one of the principal designers in Aiken on varying residential and commercial projects. After three and a half years, she moved to Dallas, TX to work for a large residential design firm, IBB Fine Furnishings, joining a team supporting a nationally recognized designer. While at IBB, BethAnn gained experience working on large-scale, luxury projects in a fast-paced, urban environment. She was able to grow her interior design expertise and explore new techniques with color, design, space, and textures. BethAnn strives to make designs beautiful, yet functional and loves incorporating color, antiques, and bold accents when designing spaces. In her free time, she enjoys going on walks, watching movies, yoga, and spending time with friends and family.

On November 30, 2023, the Nandina team gathered in Greenville alongside friends, family, and colleagues to celebrate design and the closing of a prosperous year. Inspired by N Home Magazine’s latest issue, the event was titled, Elements of Design. Featuring tasty hors d’oeuvres, and mixologist-crafted cocktails, it was truly a testament to the creative process. Sponsored in part by Foster Victor and Atlanta-based Currey & CompanyElements of Design was additionally a celebration of the relationships we maintain with our clients and vendors. 

Susan Victor and Aimee Kurzner at the Elements of Design event in Greenville, SC

Great vendors like Currey & Company are paramount to any successful design project. They provide our design teams with the quality products required to complete their clients’ visions and often share information regarding the ever-changing interior design industry news, trends, and knowledge. In this spirit, Susan Victor sat down with Aimee Kurzner, Director of Furniture at Currey & Company, to discuss her career and design. Aimee shared her invaluable insights, noting the significance of the design elements to her creative process. 

What are the Elements of Design?

Interior designers use elements such as color, composition, texture, lighting, and balance to shape the ultimate aesthetic and practicality of a design. They are used to create artful layers that authentically and stylishly reflect a client’s preferences, personality, and lifestyle.

Here’s how the Nandina design teams use the elements of design to create beautiful, unique, and practical designs for their clients.

Proportion

Proportion addresses spatial relationships, or the relative size and scale of various elements within a room. Proportion enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space all while fostering a sense of equilibrium and comfort. Achieving proper proportion is a key reason as to why many interior design projects often begin with taking measurements and snapping photographs. This is a fundamental step because designers must reference these when making furniture, lighting, and accessory selections. 

Balance

Similar to proportion, balance is all about equilibrium. It can be attained through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements. Symmetrical arrangements are cohesive and inherently tidy. Asymmetrical arrangements have distinct visual elements that are positioned on opposite sides of a design, yet the overall composition appears balanced. 

Lighting

Currey and Company is known for its bespoke lighting fixtures. Beautiful lighting plays a pivotal role in imbuing a space with ambiance and mood. To emphasize this point, The Washington Post released an article last year regarding the importance of lighting selections, noting its ability to affect your psychological state and circadian rhythm. Lighting contributes to the overall design aesthetic, sometimes acting as an accessory or focal point. 

Texture & Pattern

Our Nandina designers think of texture as just another color. The introduction of various textures and patterns in area rugs, furniture, wallpaper, and art adds depth and visual intrigue. Texture and pattern enhance the tactile appeal of a design, giving a room dimension through its palpable layers. 

Color

Like lighting, color possesses the ability to transform the mood of a room or space. When skillfully chosen, color can set its intended tone. Bold colors, such as orange and lime green, bring dynamism and life to a design. Neutral palettes, on the other hand, tend to elicit feelings of serenity and calm. 

Emphasis

Emphasis creates a focal point, directing attention to a specific area or element within a room. This attention-grabbing effect can be crafted through the strategic use of the other design elements, such as lighting, color, and accessories. Emphasis adds drama and flair. Think of emphasis as the exclamation point of design! 

Well-curated Accents & Accessories

Accents and accessories heighten the visual allure of a design. Whether it’s artwork, sculptures, cherished heirlooms, or bold statement pieces, these details contribute to a space’s personality. Accents and accessories serve as the narrative essence in the realm of design, reflecting the stories and personalities of the homeowners.  

Composition

Finally, there’s composition. This design element involves the harmonious interplay of the design elements within a single design. While it may be challenging to define, successful composition is unmistakable. It guarantees that every detail collaborates seamlessly. 

Do you Need the Assistance of Passionate Professionals?

Interior Design is a multi-faceted profession that requires rigorous creativity, empathy, and technical expertise. At its core, interior design beats the pulse of passion. It is the heart of the profession and something worth celebrating. Like Aimee Kurzner, the designers that make up Nandina Home & Design are rich in knowledge and passion. If you are looking for interior design assistance, allow us to assist you. Our philosophy that designs should always reflect the “Real Life” and “Real Style” of our clients is practiced across all our passionate, talented, and experienced design teams.

As interior designers the use of color is one of the most critical design tools that we can use, and at Nandina we love color.  Here are some of our tried and true tips on how to use color to create amazing spaces in every design project.

Start with a Color Palette

Choose a color palette that suits your interior design style and the mood you want to create in the room. Picking the right colors isn’t just about what looks pretty (although that’s a big part of it!). Consider the overall theme, the purpose of the space, and your personal preferences. You can create a monochromatic scheme using various shades of a single color, or opt for complementary or analogous colors for a more vibrant look. Complementary and analogous colors are concepts that are part of the overall field of “color theory”. 

Use a Color Wheel

If choosing colors feels complicated then meet your new best friend the color wheel – it’s like your ultimate color cheat sheet. Opposite colors on the wheel, like red and green, are called complementary colors. They’re like a match made in color heaven, bringing out the best in each other. And then there are analogous colors, which are neighbors on the wheel. They play so well together, creating a harmonious and seamless look.

The color wheel – your new best friend

Use Color to Set the Mood   

Different colors evoke different emotions and moods. Imagine walking into a room that’s like a warm hug – cozy, inviting, and just feels right. That’s the magic of color psychology! Each color has its own personality, and it can totally affect your mood. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows bring in energy and excitement. They’re like that friend who’s always up for an adventure.  But if you’re all about chill vibes and tranquility, cool colors like blues and greens are your go-to pals. They create a calm and serene atmosphere – perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings with a book and a cup of tea.

The reds and oranges scattered throughout this room are warm and inviting and give the room energy

Balance Bold and Neutral Colors

If you want to incorporate bold or vibrant colors into your space, balance them with neutral colors. Neutrals like white, beige, gray, or taupe can serve as a backdrop that allows your accent colors to shine. This balance helps prevent the space from becoming overwhelming and ensures a cohesive look.

blue and green roomThe large white sectional and white walls are the perfect backdrop to the vibrant blues and greens in the pillows, art and rug in this playful den

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Monochromatic

Ever heard of monochromatic magic? It’s all about sticking to shades of a single color. Picture a room dressed in various shades of blue – from pale sky to deep navy.  It’s a classy and sophisticated look that’s easy on the eyes. 

neutral dining roomThis monochromatic dining room screams sophistication with multiple shades of gray, textured wallpaper and a stunning chandelier that pulls it all together

Experiment with Textures 

Colors can interact with different textures to create visual interest. Play with a variety of materials such as velvet, silk, wood, or metal, as they can add depth and richness to your color scheme. Textured surfaces can also reflect light differently, altering the perception of color in a space.

textured neutral roomThis monochromatic bedroom could have fallen flat, instead a textured wood paneled wall, a sculptural ratan chair and a large furry hide add the change in materials that make this room interesting and inviting

Create Focal Points with Color

Use color to draw attention to specific areas or elements in the room. For instance, you can paint an accent wall in a bold color or use colorful furniture, bold artwork, or brightly colored pillows and accessories to create a focal point. These focal points of color are like those fancy accessories that complete an outfit.  They’re the pops of color that add personality to your space.   

textured wallpaperA blue textured wallpaper on one wall that coordinates with the blue leather accents on the dining room chairs create a focal point that harmonizes with the entire design of the room

Consider the Flow Between Rooms

If your home has an open floor plan or if rooms are visible from one another, consider how colors will flow from one space to another. Choose colors that complement each other or create a harmonious transition between rooms to ensure a cohesive and visually pleasing overall look.

Don’t Forget the Power of the Fifth Wall – Your Ceiling

Painting it a lighter shade can make your room feel more open and spacious. Or if you’re feeling adventurous painting all five walls a vibrant color is a design risk that can really pay off.

All five walls, along with all trim, are painted a vibrant blue in this saturated room of color.

Now that you’re armed with a bit of color theory magic, go ahead and experiment! Your space is like a canvas, and you’re the artist. Mix and match, try different combinations, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through those colors. Need help choosing colors for an interior design project in Aiken, Atlanta, or Greenville? We’d love to help.

How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles https://nandinahome.com/interior-design-sweet-spot-four-styles/ Thu, 26 Jan 2023 14:04:52 +0000 https://nandinahome.com/?p=17306 Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to...

The post How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles appeared first on Nandina Home & Design.

Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to convince you that on a personal level there are five good reasons to dive in to defining your interior design sweet spot.   

    1. You will become a selective Shopper – Once you understand the basic interior design styles and their components you will be able to identify the characteristics of the style that you want your home to reflect.  Knowing what you love and what fits into the style of your home makes impulse buying, well , much less impulsive! You won’t be tempted to purchase that oversized floral, rolled arm sofa if you want your home to reflect a minimalist modern vibe!
    2. Investment purchasing will be part of your long term design strategy.  Remember when our parents or grandparents would purchase a sofa or a chest.  Those investment pieces would be reupholstered, moved from room to room, passed on to children and grandchildren.  We need to think about building the rooms of our homes around investment pieces that will stand the test of time.  A beautiful bespoke chest could be the foundation of a living room plan and later moved to a hall or bedroom.   
    3. Your rooms will fit you, just like your favorite clothes do.  Our homes and the rooms that make up our homes should be a reflection of who we are and what we value.  Once you realize what style of rooms bring you joy, comfort and confidence, you will love being in  your home the same way you love pulling on your favorite sweater.

The more you understand the style you love, the more you will be able to do the look for less

You should always have a budget for all of your interior design projects.  Knowing the design style that you are trying to achieve will give you the freedom and courage to splurge on some items while filling in frugally with other items.  In the design world we call this mixing high and low, or “how to get the look for less”.   

Knowing your style and executing it well, will help you achieve a home that you love.

Trying to define your personal style without having a basic understanding of the core interior design styles is a bit like planning a trip to the beach but not having any idea what route to get there or exactly which beach you want to end up on.   The elements of each design style are kin to a good roadmap (or in this day and age a GPS)  So let’s jump in and define the elements of the Four Core Interior Design Styles: Traditional, Modern, Transitional and Eclectic

Traditional Design

If you are drawn to traditional interior design style, you love a beautiful antique piece of furniture, rich wood tones in your furnishings, floral fabrics, hand knotted oriental rugs, skirted sofas and chairs, fringes and tapes on your drapes, and symmetry in your arrangements. 

Key elements of traditional style:

  • Classic 18th and 19th century  English antiques 
  • Furnishings with strong European influences
  • Rich textured fabrics
  • Stripes, plaids, florals
  • Symmetry
  • Gilt , tassels
  • Skirts, rolled arms, highly carved furnishings
  • Wallpaper, layered collections

Modern Design

Loving clean lines, uncluttered interiors, the combination of stone, glass, and mixed metals, and a monochromatic color palette are characteristics of a Modernist – a lover of Modern interior design.  There are many modern elements that are classics – since modernism first appeared on the design scene as early as the 1920’s 

Elements of Modern Style:

  • Sleek, clean lines, basic shapes
  • Muted – neutral color palette as the base
  • Furniture and accessories are lower to ground
  • Stone, metal, glass
  • Uncluttered! Has a strong minimalist vibe
  • No skirts, track arms vs rolled arms

Transitional Design

The perfect blend of Modern and Traditional is the style that is described as Transitional.  Transitional balances sophisticated style with comfort to achieve a balanced interior, which effortlessly combines equal measures of Modern and Traditional elements.  Furnishings are comfortable but clean lined with stylish silhouettes, fabrics are rich but not overly ornate, like neutral velvets, mohairs, fresh linens.  An antique chest can share space with a modern abstract piece of art, and a classic hand knotted oushak rug.  No wonder that Transitional style is so popular – it reflects a more contemporary attitude of casual yet sophisticated interiors that are frequently warm and inviting.

Transitional Design Elements:

  • Seamlessly merges feminine/masculine, simple/sophisticated, sleek/curved or carved
  • Clean patterns, warm tones
  • Plush materials
  • Timeless, elegant and inviting
  • Track arms, mix of legs and skirt 
  • Mix of materials
  • Mix of art
  • Tone on tone or just pops of color

Eclectic

If you are into richly layered patterns and colors and the art of mixing seemingly disparate styles than you may be a fan of eclectic design.  Gallery walls, pattern on pattern textiles, a strong mix of furniture styles, and the use of statement objects are just a few of the characteristics that define an Eclectic styled room.

Eclectic Style:

  • Harmonization of seemingly disparate style, textures, and colors
  • Pair different design eras and genres – antique, farmhouse, modern, French, art deco
  • Don’t buy the set!!  Furniture and accessories need to look curated and not like a matching set
  • The look is controlled chaos – you can add in visual layers with lots of textures – without adding visual cacophony
  • Make it personal!!

Christina Scharf Design

The best part of understanding what elements define the Core Four design styles is that most of the popular design interiors you recognize today are a combination of these basic design styles.  I love to describe popular interior design styles like Bohemian,  Mid Century Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Modern Classic, Glamour

Some of today’s popular interior design mash ups:

  • Bohemian – a mix of eclectic and ethnic
  • Mid Century Modern – Mix of 50’s modern and  industrial 
  • Modern Farmhouse – Mix  modern, transitional, vintage and  industrial
  • Modern Classic or New Traditional –  Mixing the European influences of traditional design with classic modern elements (think Ralph Lauren!)
  • Hollywood Glamour – the perfect mix of eclectic and modern, bold uses of color with high contrast metals, glass and stone.

There are many more mash ups of interior design styles but once you master the basics you will better understand the design elements that best represent your personal style.  What could be better than to live in spaces that are well designed, beautiful and that perfectly reflect you! If you’re looking for an interior designer in Greenville, Atlanta, or Aiken – our team would love to help!

Back to Busy…

Custom Homes for Active Families 

 

The end of Summer and the first few weeks of Fall mean back to school, back to schedules and “back to busy” for many of us. While the re-establishment of routine is welcome, the loss of free-flowing, long summer days can feel overwhelming.  

In our most recent N Home publication we showcased two homes that were custom-built and designed with very busy families in mind. Let’s take a look into how seamlessly chaos can be formed into stylish function.  

 

Planned to Perfection

Design by: Susan Victor, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When you have two married surgeons, three young children and a cat, your life has to function like a well-oiled machine and your home needs to support that perfectly coordinated crew. When I was approached by this client to collaborate on the design of their new home, I quickly realized that how the space would function would be paramount to the overall success of this project. What you see following showcases a work-horse of a home that is the perfect example of the beauty of functional design. 

Great Room, Kitchen

The large great room needed to be sophisticated enough for entertaining and casual enough for the kids to lounge in after dinner. A pair of sectionals that face the fireplace allow for plenty of seating but their sleek mid-century styling makes the overall design sophisticated enough for entertaining.

Laundry Room

The laundry room incorporates a table to act as a desk or for a special school project or arts and crafts.

Mudroom

The mud room entry off of the garage boasts colorful character and organization for all of the paraphernalia that is needed for daily activities.

Custom built bunkbeds became the focal point of a boy’s room and made sharing a space as brothers into an adventure. 

Kid's Room

In an upstairs combination study and game room, we were able to find additional, creative space for beds hidden within the eaves of the roof line.  It  just required a little ingenuity and a great custom carpenter. What a great spot for sleepovers!

This project was filled with joy at every turn and I am proud to say the end result allowed every space the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the family.” Susan Victor

 

Nestled In Nature

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When these clients set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in an established neighborhood but also find a strong connection to the serenity of nature. This project brought an exciting challenge to create a space that would evoke a sense of calm and a retreat from the busy lifestyle created by two engaged professionals and two active tweens. In the end, we were able to create something for everyone and find a place where a young family can enter, connect to nature and to each other. 

FoyerImmediately upon entry, you are stunned by the breathtaking views and openness of the main living space. 

Great Room, Lake View

The design of the open-concept living/dining space seamlessly connects to the terrace. This provides an ideal space for entertaining family and friends while maintaining an elegantly welcoming character complete with reclaimed beams, classically transitional furniture and comfortable upholstery.

Kitchen, Dining Room

Foyer, Tile Floor, Mudroom

An inset tile rug at the mudroom entry functions to define the space and capture the dirt and sand before transitioning to the wood floors.

The upstairs houses two fun-loving girls with inspired design styles. Each one had a vision to carry out for their private space and now can share it with friends or curl-up with a good book. In one of the rooms, we designed a custom-built pop-up style desk under the window for efficiency and functionality. 

“Successfully melding the personalities of a family and creating a functional home based on how they live is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a designer.” Sue Shannon

The Beauty of Design 

Can beautiful design be defined or is it truly in the eyes of the beholder? At Nandina we believe that beautiful design is a fine balance of the personal and the definable. Your home is inherently an extension of you – your desires, your family’s personality and values, your idea of style and beauty. Working with our clients to create spaces that reflect beautiful design is our passion.

When this couple set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in a neighborhood but have a space that connected them to them to the serenity of nature.

The Beauty of Lifestyle Design 

Lifestyle design is based on the theory of intentionally crafting a way of life or a style of living. At Nandina we often base our design on the theory that we don’t design rooms, we help our clients create a lifestyle. A home that reflects and reinforces the life you live is a home based on beautiful lifestyle design. family living room, coiffured ceiling, performance fabrics, design with balance

Although the great room, kitchen and dining area are the epitome of sophisticated style, it is the heart of this family’s home. Performance fabrics, stain resistance carpets, and furniture that can handle daily use allow for comfort and the wear and tear of an active family with pets.

The most surprising element of design in this project is the lounge room. This couple was not afraid to work with color, texture and modern elements; they wanted their home to be an expression of their personalities…welcoming, stylish, and fun!

Throughout the design, textiles and color were used to add warmth and character, providing a modern aesthetic that is richly layered and reflective of our client’s personality.

The Beauty of Functional Design 

A home is so much more than a beautiful showroom of perfectly placed furniture, rugs, art and accessories.  If well designed, every space within the home will serve the needs of those that dwell within it. A functional design addresses all areas of you and your families’ daily activities.  Great functional design is based on how you specifically want to live in a space. custom furniture, kid's playroom, functional storage

Capturing unused space under the eaves of the roof line is a perfect example of functional design. These custom-designed roll out beds work great for slumber parties or additional house guests for this active and social family.

To introduce a more urban vibe we chose to accessorize the space more asymmetrically. Replacing original large mirrors with a Currey and Company buffet and art provided a beautiful look with the added extra storage she needed.

When previous clients approached Lori to design their new condo in Newburyport, MA they had just moved from a beautiful home in Charleston’s Low Country. They wanted this new home in New England to reflect warmth and comfort with a nod to the design elements from the Charleston home they had grown to love.

Design by: Lori Marvel, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Glenn Livermore Photography

The Beauty of Creative Design 

Creative design is ingenious and innovative, original and visionary. As designers we work to create functional spaces that fit our client’s lifestyles but ultimately judging the success of the design will hinge on the creativity of the design. It may be the use of color or surface selections in an unusual ways, or bringing traditionally outdoor product inside, or using furniture in new and innovative ways. historical homes, modern interior design, Charleston, south carolina

What we loved so much about this project was the rich historical feel of the architecture juxtaposed with the creatively layered modern interiors. The owner has a unique sense of style that is reflected in each room by incorporating into the design something personal, cultivated and striking.  

Design by: Ashley Diggelmann, Nandina Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidtoriginal art, modern interiors, modern lighting

Art played a big role in defining the personality of the home – quirky, collected, colorful – each piece used throughout was purposely chosen and intentionally placed.

The backsplash tile, a beautiful marble mosaic with gold inlay, drove the design. The combination of a warm marble style counter top and the addition of natural wood in select areas creates a kitchen that is the best of both worlds…dressy and casual.

Living by the Water

For most of us over this past year home has become our haven, a safe harbor in a world that suddenly felt unsafe, a place where we retreated and revived, and thankfully found peace and comfort. We can find safety, joy and sanctuary in how our spaces interplay with nature, as in the majesty and stillness of mountains or the calm of a lake’s still waters.  

We are grateful to have been involved in several client projects that have created meaningful, joyful and calming homes by the water.

The aspect of how the water met the horizon brought the greatest sense of peace and inspiration for this project. When my clients discussed how they wanted the interiors to function and feel, their clear goal was to achieve a family home that would feel like a sanctuary, retreat and safe harbor of love for their extended family. – John Ishmael

The biggest challenge for this project was to design a home that would meld together their new surroundings with their previous belongings in order to make a comfortable, beautiful, warm and welcoming lakeside sanctuary. Every room gracefully mixes French and English antiques with casual rugs, comfortable neutral sofas and chairs, and a color palette that speaks to life on the lake. – Susan Victor Living by the Water

My clients desired to create a clean-lined modern beach house that could be a haven for their family and friends, but also have furnishings suitable for luxury rentals. The end result boasts a home filled with joyous touches, a fresh coastal vibe and an appreciation for those that spend time there. – Sue Shannon

The main criteria of this design revolved around the lake, which brings such joy to this family, and all of the main rooms open to a beautiful lake view. It has been my good fortune to work with this family, who live full-time on a lake, over several years to methodically create a home that reflects both their interests and personalities. – Michele Merritt Living by the Water

Garden Club Event at Nandina Home and Design in Greenville

In March, our Greenville interior design team hosted a ladies’ garden club in our newest showroom. Designers Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor developed an interactive project for the group that drew inspiration from florals.  

“We wanted to tie back to the nature of the organization and incorporate how florals can be an integral part of a design plan. BethAnn and I designed a mood board, in advance, with one red tulip as our inspiration; we then let the group break up into teams and compile their own cohesive designs plans around the floral of their choice. By offering rug samples, fabric and wall covering swatches and small accessories, each group was able to get first-hand experience in to what elements are involved when pulling a design plan together.”

MEET THE GREENVILLE DESIGNERS

Come in to meet our design team of Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor, both Upstate natives who have returned to Greenville to apply their ample, diverse experience to Greenville homes with excitement and renewed perspective. Nandina Home Greenville


Ashley Diggelmann, ALLIED ASID | Lead Designer

“Home is the framework of memories; a place where you relax, laugh and share stories. I draw inspiration for my work from people and how they live. The focus of designing spaces for my clients’ centers around making room for their lives. Whether a new build, styling, residential or commercial, collected or modern, the best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”

A native of the Upstate, Ashley received her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Anderson University. She comes to Nandina with eight years of experience from GDC Home in Charleston, SC. She has gained a vast amount of experience working on residential, hospitality and commercial projects and approaches each project with the desire to marry both beauty and function. Her extensive work with architects and contractors has brought vision to her work and her distinct style is a blend of whimsey and sophistication. She loves assisting clients with a wide range of challenges, including selecting architectural details and finishes, decorating a functional, beautiful space, and creating custom pieces tailor-made to expertly reflect clients’ personal taste and style.  Nandina Home

Greenville

BethAnn Connor, ALLIED ASID | Associate Designer  

“From a young age, I’ve been drawn to interior design because I love being able to design beautiful spaces that bring joy, comfort, and serenity. Your home is a reflection of you and each room in your home should showcase your passions and personality. As a designer, my goal is to seamlessly blend functionality, aesthetics, and personal style to create a home that tells the story of you and your family.”

BethAnn, a native to Greenville, began working with Nandina Home & Design in Aiken after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. While with Nandina, BethAnn worked closely with one of the principal designers in Aiken on varying residential and commercial projects. After three and a half years, she moved to Dallas, TX to work for a large residential design firm, IBB Fine Furnishings, joining a team supporting a nationally recognized designer. While at IBB, BethAnn gained experience working on large-scale, luxury projects in a fast-paced, urban environment. She was able to grow her interior design expertise and explore new techniques with color, design, space, and textures. BethAnn strives to make designs beautiful, yet functional and loves incorporating color, antiques, and bold accents when designing spaces. In her free time, she enjoys going on walks, watching movies, yoga, and spending time with friends and family.

On November 30, 2023, the Nandina team gathered in Greenville alongside friends, family, and colleagues to celebrate design and the closing of a prosperous year. Inspired by N Home Magazine’s latest issue, the event was titled, Elements of Design. Featuring tasty hors d’oeuvres, and mixologist-crafted cocktails, it was truly a testament to the creative process. Sponsored in part by Foster Victor and Atlanta-based Currey & CompanyElements of Design was additionally a celebration of the relationships we maintain with our clients and vendors. 

Susan Victor and Aimee Kurzner at the Elements of Design event in Greenville, SC

Great vendors like Currey & Company are paramount to any successful design project. They provide our design teams with the quality products required to complete their clients’ visions and often share information regarding the ever-changing interior design industry news, trends, and knowledge. In this spirit, Susan Victor sat down with Aimee Kurzner, Director of Furniture at Currey & Company, to discuss her career and design. Aimee shared her invaluable insights, noting the significance of the design elements to her creative process. 

What are the Elements of Design?

Interior designers use elements such as color, composition, texture, lighting, and balance to shape the ultimate aesthetic and practicality of a design. They are used to create artful layers that authentically and stylishly reflect a client’s preferences, personality, and lifestyle.

Here’s how the Nandina design teams use the elements of design to create beautiful, unique, and practical designs for their clients.

Proportion

Proportion addresses spatial relationships, or the relative size and scale of various elements within a room. Proportion enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space all while fostering a sense of equilibrium and comfort. Achieving proper proportion is a key reason as to why many interior design projects often begin with taking measurements and snapping photographs. This is a fundamental step because designers must reference these when making furniture, lighting, and accessory selections. 

Balance

Similar to proportion, balance is all about equilibrium. It can be attained through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements. Symmetrical arrangements are cohesive and inherently tidy. Asymmetrical arrangements have distinct visual elements that are positioned on opposite sides of a design, yet the overall composition appears balanced. 

Lighting

Currey and Company is known for its bespoke lighting fixtures. Beautiful lighting plays a pivotal role in imbuing a space with ambiance and mood. To emphasize this point, The Washington Post released an article last year regarding the importance of lighting selections, noting its ability to affect your psychological state and circadian rhythm. Lighting contributes to the overall design aesthetic, sometimes acting as an accessory or focal point. 

Texture & Pattern

Our Nandina designers think of texture as just another color. The introduction of various textures and patterns in area rugs, furniture, wallpaper, and art adds depth and visual intrigue. Texture and pattern enhance the tactile appeal of a design, giving a room dimension through its palpable layers. 

Color

Like lighting, color possesses the ability to transform the mood of a room or space. When skillfully chosen, color can set its intended tone. Bold colors, such as orange and lime green, bring dynamism and life to a design. Neutral palettes, on the other hand, tend to elicit feelings of serenity and calm. 

Emphasis

Emphasis creates a focal point, directing attention to a specific area or element within a room. This attention-grabbing effect can be crafted through the strategic use of the other design elements, such as lighting, color, and accessories. Emphasis adds drama and flair. Think of emphasis as the exclamation point of design! 

Well-curated Accents & Accessories

Accents and accessories heighten the visual allure of a design. Whether it’s artwork, sculptures, cherished heirlooms, or bold statement pieces, these details contribute to a space’s personality. Accents and accessories serve as the narrative essence in the realm of design, reflecting the stories and personalities of the homeowners.  

Composition

Finally, there’s composition. This design element involves the harmonious interplay of the design elements within a single design. While it may be challenging to define, successful composition is unmistakable. It guarantees that every detail collaborates seamlessly. 

Do you Need the Assistance of Passionate Professionals?

Interior Design is a multi-faceted profession that requires rigorous creativity, empathy, and technical expertise. At its core, interior design beats the pulse of passion. It is the heart of the profession and something worth celebrating. Like Aimee Kurzner, the designers that make up Nandina Home & Design are rich in knowledge and passion. If you are looking for interior design assistance, allow us to assist you. Our philosophy that designs should always reflect the “Real Life” and “Real Style” of our clients is practiced across all our passionate, talented, and experienced design teams.

As interior designers the use of color is one of the most critical design tools that we can use, and at Nandina we love color.  Here are some of our tried and true tips on how to use color to create amazing spaces in every design project.

Start with a Color Palette

Choose a color palette that suits your interior design style and the mood you want to create in the room. Picking the right colors isn’t just about what looks pretty (although that’s a big part of it!). Consider the overall theme, the purpose of the space, and your personal preferences. You can create a monochromatic scheme using various shades of a single color, or opt for complementary or analogous colors for a more vibrant look. Complementary and analogous colors are concepts that are part of the overall field of “color theory”. 

Use a Color Wheel

If choosing colors feels complicated then meet your new best friend the color wheel – it’s like your ultimate color cheat sheet. Opposite colors on the wheel, like red and green, are called complementary colors. They’re like a match made in color heaven, bringing out the best in each other. And then there are analogous colors, which are neighbors on the wheel. They play so well together, creating a harmonious and seamless look.

Use Color to Set the Mood   

Different colors evoke different emotions and moods. Imagine walking into a room that’s like a warm hug – cozy, inviting, and just feels right. That’s the magic of color psychology! Each color has its own personality, and it can totally affect your mood. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows bring in energy and excitement. They’re like that friend who’s always up for an adventure.  But if you’re all about chill vibes and tranquility, cool colors like blues and greens are your go-to pals. They create a calm and serene atmosphere – perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings with a book and a cup of tea.

Balance Bold and Neutral Colors

If you want to incorporate bold or vibrant colors into your space, balance them with neutral colors. Neutrals like white, beige, gray, or taupe can serve as a backdrop that allows your accent colors to shine. This balance helps prevent the space from becoming overwhelming and ensures a cohesive look.

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Monochromatic

Ever heard of monochromatic magic? It’s all about sticking to shades of a single color. Picture a room dressed in various shades of blue – from pale sky to deep navy.  It’s a classy and sophisticated look that’s easy on the eyes.

Experiment with Textures 

Colors can interact with different textures to create visual interest. Play with a variety of materials such as velvet, silk, wood, or metal, as they can add depth and richness to your color scheme. Textured surfaces can also reflect light differently, altering the perception of color in a space.

Create Focal Points with Color

Use color to draw attention to specific areas or elements in the room. For instance, you can paint an accent wall in a bold color or use colorful furniture, bold artwork, or brightly colored pillows and accessories to create a focal point. These focal points of color are like those fancy accessories that complete an outfit.  They’re the pops of color that add personality to your space.   

textured wallpaperA blue textured wallpaper on one wall that coordinates with the blue leather accents on the dining room chairs create a focal point that harmonizes with the entire design of the room

Consider the Flow Between Rooms

If your home has an open floor plan or if rooms are visible from one another, consider how colors will flow from one space to another. Choose colors that complement each other or create a harmonious transition between rooms to ensure a cohesive and visually pleasing overall look.

Don’t Forget the Power of the Fifth Wall – Your Ceiling

Painting it a lighter shade can make your room feel more open and spacious. Or if you’re feeling adventurous painting all five walls a vibrant color is a design risk that can really pay off.

All five walls, along with all trim, are painted a vibrant blue in this saturated room of color.

Now that you’re armed with a bit of color theory magic, go ahead and experiment! Your space is like a canvas, and you’re the artist. Mix and match, try different combinations, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through those colors.

How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles https://nandinahome.com/interior-design-sweet-spot-four-styles/ Thu, 26 Jan 2023 14:04:52 +0000 https://nandinahome.com/?p=17306 Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to...

Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to convince you that on a personal level there are five good reasons to dive in to defining your interior design sweet spot.   

    1. You will become a selective Shopper – Once you understand the basic interior design styles and their components you will be able to identify the characteristics of the style that you want your home to reflect.  Knowing what you love and what fits into the style of your home makes impulse buying, well , much less impulsive! You won’t be tempted to purchase that oversized floral, rolled arm sofa if you want your home to reflect a minimalist modern vibe!
    2. Investment purchasing will be part of your long term design strategy.  Remember when our parents or grandparents would purchase a sofa or a chest.  Those investment pieces would be reupholstered, moved from room to room, passed on to children and grandchildren.  We need to think about building the rooms of our homes around investment pieces that will stand the test of time.  A beautiful bespoke chest could be the foundation of a living room plan and later moved to a hall or bedroom.   
    3. Your rooms will fit you, just like your favorite clothes do.  Our homes and the rooms that make up our homes should be a reflection of who we are and what we value.  Once you realize what style of rooms bring you joy, comfort and confidence, you will love being in  your home the same way you love pulling on your favorite sweater.

The more you understand the style you love, the more you will be able to do the look for less

You should always have a budget for all of your interior design projects.  Knowing the design style that you are trying to achieve will give you the freedom and courage to splurge on some items while filling in frugally with other items.  In the design world we call this mixing high and low, or “how to get the look for less”.   

Knowing your style and executing it well, will help you achieve a home that you love.

Trying to define your personal style without having a basic understanding of the core interior design styles is a bit like planning a trip to the beach but not having any idea what route to get there or exactly which beach you want to end up on.   The elements of each design style are kin to a good roadmap (or in this day and age a GPS)  So let’s jump in and define the elements of the Four Core Interior Design Styles: Traditional, Modern, Transitional and Eclectic

Traditional Design

If you are drawn to traditional interior design style, you love a beautiful antique piece of furniture, rich wood tones in your furnishings, floral fabrics, hand knotted oriental rugs, skirted sofas and chairs, fringes and tapes on your drapes, and symmetry in your arrangements. 

Key elements of traditional style:

  • Classic 18th and 19th century  English antiques 
  • Furnishings with strong European influences
  • Rich textured fabrics
  • Stripes, plaids, florals
  • Symmetry
  • Gilt , tassels
  • Skirts, rolled arms, highly carved furnishings
  • Wallpaper, layered collections

Modern Design

Loving clean lines, uncluttered interiors, the combination of stone, glass, and mixed metals, and a monochromatic color palette are characteristics of a Modernist – a lover of Modern interior design.  There are many modern elements that are classics – since modernism first appeared on the design scene as early as the 1920’s 

Elements of Modern Style:

  • Sleek, clean lines, basic shapes
  • Muted – neutral color palette as the base
  • Furniture and accessories are lower to ground
  • Stone, metal, glass
  • Uncluttered! Has a strong minimalist vibe
  • No skirts, track arms vs rolled arms
  • Leather, hides, bold graphic patterns

Transitional Design

The perfect blend of Modern and Traditional is the style that is described as Transitional.  Transitional balances sophisticated style with comfort to achieve a balanced interior, which effortlessly combines equal measures of Modern and Traditional elements.  Furnishings are comfortable but clean lined with stylish silhouettes, fabrics are rich but not overly ornate, like neutral velvets, mohairs, fresh linens.  An antique chest can share space with a modern abstract piece of art, and a classic hand knotted oushak rug.  No wonder that Transitional style is so popular – it reflects a more contemporary attitude of casual yet sophisticated interiors that are frequently warm and inviting.

Transitional Design Elements:

  • Seamlessly merges feminine/masculine, simple/sophisticated, sleek/curved or carved
  • Clean patterns, warm tones
  • Plush materials
  • Timeless, elegant and inviting
  • Track arms, mix of legs and skirt 
  • Mix of materials
  • Mix of art
  • Tone on tone or just pops of color

Eclectic

If you are into richly layered patterns and colors and the art of mixing seemingly disparate styles than you may be a fan of eclectic design.  Gallery walls, pattern on pattern textiles, a strong mix of furniture styles, and the use of statement objects are just a few of the characteristics that define an Eclectic styled room.

Eclectic Style:

  • Harmonization of seemingly disparate style, textures, and colors
  • Pair different design eras and genres – antique, farmhouse, modern, French, art deco
  • Don’t buy the set!!  Furniture and accessories need to look curated and not like a matching set
  • The look is controlled chaos – you can add in visual layers with lots of textures – without adding visual cacophony
  • Make it personal!!
eclectic interior design example

Christina Scharf Design

The best part of understanding what elements define the Core Four design styles is that most of the popular design interiors you recognize today are a combination of these basic design styles.  I love to describe popular interior design styles like Bohemian,  Mid Century Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Modern Classic, Glamour

Some of today’s popular interior design mash ups:

  • Bohemian – a mix of eclectic and ethnic
  • Mid Century Modern – Mix of 50’s modern and  industrial 
  • Modern Farmhouse – Mix  modern, transitional, vintage and  industrial
  • Modern Classic or New Traditional –  Mixing the European influences of traditional design with classic modern elements (think Ralph Lauren!)
  • Hollywood Glamour – the perfect mix of eclectic and modern, bold uses of color with high contrast metals, glass and stone.

There are many more mash ups of interior design styles but once you master the basics you will better understand the design elements that best represent your personal style.  What could be better than to live in spaces that are well designed, beautiful and that perfectly reflect you!

Back to Busy…

Custom Homes for Active Families 

 

The end of Summer and the first few weeks of Fall mean back to school, back to schedules and “back to busy” for many of us. While the re-establishment of routine is welcome, the loss of free-flowing, long summer days can feel overwhelming.  

In our most recent N Home publication we showcased two homes that were custom-built and designed with very busy families in mind. Let’s take a look into how seamlessly chaos can be formed into stylish function.  

 

Planned to Perfection

Design by: Susan Victor, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When you have two married surgeons, three young children and a cat, your life has to function like a well-oiled machine and your home needs to support that perfectly coordinated crew. When I was approached by this client to collaborate on the design of their new home, I quickly realized that how the space would function would be paramount to the overall success of this project. What you see following showcases a work-horse of a home that is the perfect example of the beauty of functional design. 

Great Room, Kitchen

The large great room needed to be sophisticated enough for entertaining and casual enough for the kids to lounge in after dinner. A pair of sectionals that face the fireplace allow for plenty of seating but their sleek mid-century styling makes the overall design sophisticated enough for entertaining.

Laundry Room

The laundry room incorporates a table to act as a desk or for a special school project or arts and crafts.

Mudroom

The mud room entry off of the garage boasts colorful character and organization for all of the paraphernalia that is needed for daily activities.

Custom built bunkbeds became the focal point of a boy’s room and made sharing a space as brothers into an adventure. 

Kid's Room

In an upstairs combination study and game room, we were able to find additional, creative space for beds hidden within the eaves of the roof line.  It  just required a little ingenuity and a great custom carpenter. What a great spot for sleepovers!

This project was filled with joy at every turn and I am proud to say the end result allowed every space the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the family.” Susan Victor

 

Nestled In Nature

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When these clients set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in an established neighborhood but also find a strong connection to the serenity of nature. This project brought an exciting challenge to create a space that would evoke a sense of calm and a retreat from the busy lifestyle created by two engaged professionals and two active tweens. In the end, we were able to create something for everyone and find a place where a young family can enter, connect to nature and to each other. 

FoyerImmediately upon entry, you are stunned by the breathtaking views and openness of the main living space. 

Great Room, Lake View

The design of the open-concept living/dining space seamlessly connects to the terrace. This provides an ideal space for entertaining family and friends while maintaining an elegantly welcoming character complete with reclaimed beams, classically transitional furniture and comfortable upholstery.

Kitchen, Dining Room

Foyer, Tile Floor, Mudroom

An inset tile rug at the mudroom entry functions to define the space and capture the dirt and sand before transitioning to the wood floors.

The upstairs houses two fun-loving girls with inspired design styles. Each one had a vision to carry out for their private space and now can share it with friends or curl-up with a good book. In one of the rooms, we designed a custom-built pop-up style desk under the window for efficiency and functionality. 

“Successfully melding the personalities of a family and creating a functional home based on how they live is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a designer.” Sue Shannon

The Beauty of Design 

Can beautiful design be defined or is it truly in the eyes of the beholder? At Nandina we believe that beautiful design is a fine balance of the personal and the definable. Your home is inherently an extension of you – your desires, your family’s personality and values, your idea of style and beauty. Working with our clients to create spaces that reflect beautiful design is our passion.

When this couple set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in a neighborhood but have a space that connected them to them to the serenity of nature.

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Interior Design in Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

The Beauty of Lifestyle Design 

Lifestyle design is based on the theory of intentionally crafting a way of life or a style of living. At Nandina we often base our design on the theory that we don’t design rooms, we help our clients create a lifestyle. A home that reflects and reinforces the life you live is a home based on beautiful lifestyle design. family living room, coiffured ceiling, performance fabrics, design with balance

Although the great room, kitchen and dining area are the epitome of sophisticated style, it is the heart of this family’s home. Performance fabrics, stain resistance carpets, and furniture that can handle daily use allow for comfort and the wear and tear of an active family with pets.

Design by: BethAnn Connor, Nandina Interior Design Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

wallpaper, natural materials, moody interiors, modern interior design, tone on tone

The most surprising element of design in this project is the lounge room. This couple was not afraid to work with color, texture and modern elements; they wanted their home to be an expression of their personalities…welcoming, stylish, and fun!

Throughout the design, textiles and color were used to add warmth and character, providing a modern aesthetic that is richly layered and reflective of our client’s personality.

The Beauty of Functional Design 

A home is so much more than a beautiful showroom of perfectly placed furniture, rugs, art and accessories.  If well designed, every space within the home will serve the needs of those that dwell within it. A functional design addresses all areas of you and your families’ daily activities.  Great functional design is based on how you specifically want to live in a space. custom furniture, kid's playroom, functional storage

Capturing unused space under the eaves of the roof line is a perfect example of functional design. These custom-designed roll out beds work great for slumber parties or additional house guests for this active and social family.

To introduce a more urban vibe we chose to accessorize the space more asymmetrically. Replacing original large mirrors with a Currey and Company buffet and art provided a beautiful look with the added extra storage she needed. 

Design by: John Ishmael and Johna Jamison, Nandina Atlanta | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

bohemian vibes, natural elements, texture, urban living

When previous clients approached Lori to design their new condo in Newburyport, MA they had just moved from a beautiful home in Charleston’s Low Country. They wanted this new home in New England to reflect warmth and comfort with a nod to the design elements from the Charleston home they had grown to love.

Design by: Lori Marvel, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Glenn Livermore Photography

The Beauty of Creative Design 

Creative design is ingenious and innovative, original and visionary. As designers we work to create functional spaces that fit our client’s lifestyles but ultimately judging the success of the design will hinge on the creativity of the design. It may be the use of color or surface selections in an unusual ways, or bringing traditionally outdoor product inside, or using furniture in new and innovative ways. historical homes, modern interior design, Charleston, south carolina

What we loved so much about this project was the rich historical feel of the architecture juxtaposed with the creatively layered modern interiors. The owner has a unique sense of style that is reflected in each room by incorporating into the design something personal, cultivated and striking.  

Design by: Ashley Diggelmann, Nandina Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidtoriginal art, modern interiors, modern lighting

Art played a big role in defining the personality of the home – quirky, collected, colorful – each piece used throughout was purposely chosen and intentionally placed.

Design by: Ashley Diggelmann, Nandina Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

kitchen renovation, tile layout, gold, kitchen design, open concept

The backsplash tile, a beautiful marble mosaic with gold inlay, drove the design. The combination of a warm marble style counter top and the addition of natural wood in select areas creates a kitchen that is the best of both worlds…dressy and casual.

Living by the Water

For most of us over this past year home has become our haven, a safe harbor in a world that suddenly felt unsafe, a place where we retreated and revived, and thankfully found peace and comfort. We can find safety, joy and sanctuary in how our spaces interplay with nature, as in the majesty and stillness of mountains or the calm of a lake’s still waters.  

We are grateful to have been involved in several client projects that have created meaningful, joyful and calming homes by the water.

The aspect of how the water met the horizon brought the greatest sense of peace and inspiration for this project. When my clients discussed how they wanted the interiors to function and feel, their clear goal was to achieve a family home that would feel like a sanctuary, retreat and safe harbor of love for their extended family. – John Ishmael

The biggest challenge for this project was to design a home that would meld together their new surroundings with their previous belongings in order to make a comfortable, beautiful, warm and welcoming lakeside sanctuary. Every room gracefully mixes French and English antiques with casual rugs, comfortable neutral sofas and chairs, and a color palette that speaks to life on the lake. – Susan Victor Living by the Water

My clients desired to create a clean-lined modern beach house that could be a haven for their family and friends, but also have furnishings suitable for luxury rentals. The end result boasts a home filled with joyous touches, a fresh coastal vibe and an appreciation for those that spend time there. – Sue Shannon

The main criteria of this design revolved around the lake, which brings such joy to this family, and all of the main rooms open to a beautiful lake view. It has been my good fortune to work with this family, who live full-time on a lake, over several years to methodically create a home that reflects both their interests and personalities. – Michele Merritt Living by the Water

Garden Club Event at Nandina Home and Design in Greenville

In March, our Greenville interior design team hosted a ladies’ garden club in our newest showroom. Designers Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor developed an interactive project for the group that drew inspiration from florals.  

“We wanted to tie back to the nature of the organization and incorporate how florals can be an integral part of a design plan. BethAnn and I designed a mood board, in advance, with one red tulip as our inspiration; we then let the group break up into teams and compile their own cohesive designs plans around the floral of their choice. By offering rug samples, fabric and wall covering swatches and small accessories, each group was able to get first-hand experience in to what elements are involved when pulling a design plan together.”

Ashley Diggelmann, ALLIED ASID | Lead Designer

“Home is the framework of memories; a place where you relax, laugh and share stories. I draw inspiration for my work from people and how they live. The focus of designing spaces for my clients’ centers around making room for their lives. Whether a new build, styling, residential or commercial, collected or modern, the best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”

A native of the Upstate, Ashley received her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Anderson University. She comes to Nandina with eight years of experience from GDC Home in Charleston, SC. She has gained a vast amount of experience working on residential, hospitality and commercial projects and approaches each project with the desire to marry both beauty and function. Her extensive work with architects and contractors has brought vision to her work and her distinct style is a blend of whimsey and sophistication. She loves assisting clients with a wide range of challenges, including selecting architectural details and finishes, decorating a functional, beautiful space, and creating custom pieces tailor-made to expertly reflect clients’ personal taste and style.  Nandina Home

BethAnn Connor, ALLIED ASID | Associate Designer  

“From a young age, I’ve been drawn to interior design because I love being able to design beautiful spaces that bring joy, comfort, and serenity. Your home is a reflection of you and each room in your home should showcase your passions and personality. As a designer, my goal is to seamlessly blend functionality, aesthetics, and personal style to create a home that tells the story of you and your family.”

BethAnn, a native to Greenville, began working with Nandina Home & Design in Aiken after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. While with Nandina, BethAnn worked closely with one of the principal designers in Aiken on varying residential and commercial projects. After three and a half years, she moved to Dallas, TX to work for a large residential design firm, IBB Fine Furnishings, joining a team supporting a nationally recognized designer. While at IBB, BethAnn gained experience working on large-scale, luxury projects in a fast-paced, urban environment. She was able to grow her interior design expertise and explore new techniques with color, design, space, and textures. BethAnn strives to make designs beautiful, yet functional and loves incorporating color, antiques, and bold accents when designing spaces. In her free time, she enjoys going on walks, watching movies, yoga, and spending time with friends and family.

On November 30, 2023, the Nandina team gathered in Greenville alongside friends, family, and colleagues to celebrate design and the closing of a prosperous year. Inspired by N Home Magazine’s latest issue, the event was titled, Elements of Design. Featuring tasty hors d’oeuvres, and mixologist-crafted cocktails, it was truly a testament to the creative process. Sponsored in part by Foster Victor and Atlanta-based Currey & CompanyElements of Design was additionally a celebration of the relationships we maintain with our clients and vendors.

Great vendors like Currey & Company are paramount to any successful design project. They provide our design teams with the quality products required to complete their clients’ visions and often share information regarding the ever-changing interior design industry news, trends, and knowledge. In this spirit, Susan Victor sat down with Aimee Kurzner, Director of Furniture at Currey & Company, to discuss her career and design. Aimee shared her invaluable insights, noting the significance of the design elements to her creative process. 

What are the Elements of Design?

Interior designers use elements such as color, composition, texture, lighting, and balance to shape the ultimate aesthetic and practicality of a design. They are used to create artful layers that authentically and stylishly reflect a client’s preferences, personality, and lifestyle.

Here’s how the Nandina design teams use the elements of design to create beautiful, unique, and practical designs for their clients.

Proportion

Proportion addresses spatial relationships, or the relative size and scale of various elements within a room. Proportion enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space all while fostering a sense of equilibrium and comfort. Achieving proper proportion is a key reason as to why many interior design projects often begin with taking measurements and snapping photographs. This is a fundamental step because designers must reference these when making furniture, lighting, and accessory selections. 

Balance

Similar to proportion, balance is all about equilibrium. It can be attained through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements. Symmetrical arrangements are cohesive and inherently tidy. Asymmetrical arrangements have distinct visual elements that are positioned on opposite sides of a design, yet the overall composition appears balanced. 

Lighting

Currey and Company is known for its bespoke lighting fixtures. Beautiful lighting plays a pivotal role in imbuing a space with ambiance and mood. To emphasize this point, The Washington Post released an article last year regarding the importance of lighting selections, noting its ability to affect your psychological state and circadian rhythm. Lighting contributes to the overall design aesthetic, sometimes acting as an accessory or focal point. 

Texture & Pattern

Our Nandina designers think of texture as just another color. The introduction of various textures and patterns in area rugs, furniture, wallpaper, and art adds depth and visual intrigue. Texture and pattern enhance the tactile appeal of a design, giving a room dimension through its palpable layers. 

Color

Like lighting, color possesses the ability to transform the mood of a room or space. When skillfully chosen, color can set its intended tone. Bold colors, such as orange and lime green, bring dynamism and life to a design. Neutral palettes, on the other hand, tend to elicit feelings of serenity and calm. 

Emphasis

Emphasis creates a focal point, directing attention to a specific area or element within a room. This attention-grabbing effect can be crafted through the strategic use of the other design elements, such as lighting, color, and accessories. Emphasis adds drama and flair. Think of emphasis as the exclamation point of design! 

Well-curated Accents & Accessories

Accents and accessories heighten the visual allure of a design. Whether it’s artwork, sculptures, cherished heirlooms, or bold statement pieces, these details contribute to a space’s personality. Accents and accessories serve as the narrative essence in the realm of design, reflecting the stories and personalities of the homeowners.  

Composition

Finally, there’s composition. This design element involves the harmonious interplay of the design elements within a single design. While it may be challenging to define, successful composition is unmistakable. It guarantees that every detail collaborates seamlessly. 

Do you Need the Assistance of Passionate Professionals?

Interior Design is a multi-faceted profession that requires rigorous creativity, empathy, and technical expertise. At its core, interior design beats the pulse of passion. It is the heart of the profession and something worth celebrating. Like Aimee Kurzner, the designers that make up Nandina Home & Design are rich in knowledge and passion. If you are looking for interior design assistance, allow us to assist you. Our philosophy that designs should always reflect the “Real Life” and “Real Style” of our clients is practiced across all our passionate, talented, and experienced design teams.

As interior designers the use of color is one of the most critical design tools that we can use, and at Nandina we love color.  Here are some of our tried and true tips on how to use color to create amazing spaces in every design project.

Start with a Color Palette

Choose a color palette that suits your interior design style and the mood you want to create in the room. Picking the right colors isn’t just about what looks pretty (although that’s a big part of it!). Consider the overall theme, the purpose of the space, and your personal preferences. You can create a monochromatic scheme using various shades of a single color, or opt for complementary or analogous colors for a more vibrant look. Complementary and analogous colors are concepts that are part of the overall field of “color theory”. 

Use a Color Wheel

If choosing colors feels complicated then meet your new best friend the color wheel – it’s like your ultimate color cheat sheet. Opposite colors on the wheel, like red and green, are called complementary colors. They’re like a match made in color heaven, bringing out the best in each other. And then there are analogous colors, which are neighbors on the wheel. They play so well together, creating a harmonious and seamless look.

The color wheel – your new best friend

Use Color to Set the Mood   

Different colors evoke different emotions and moods. Imagine walking into a room that’s like a warm hug – cozy, inviting, and just feels right. That’s the magic of color psychology! Each color has its own personality, and it can totally affect your mood. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows bring in energy and excitement. They’re like that friend who’s always up for an adventure.  But if you’re all about chill vibes and tranquility, cool colors like blues and greens are your go-to pals. They create a calm and serene atmosphere – perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings with a book and a cup of tea.

Balance Bold and Neutral Colors

If you want to incorporate bold or vibrant colors into your space, balance them with neutral colors. Neutrals like white, beige, gray, or taupe can serve as a backdrop that allows your accent colors to shine. This balance helps prevent the space from becoming overwhelming and ensures a cohesive look.

blue and green roomThe large white sectional and white walls are the perfect backdrop to the vibrant blues and greens in the pillows, art and rug in this playful den

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Monochromatic

Ever heard of monochromatic magic? It’s all about sticking to shades of a single color. Picture a room dressed in various shades of blue – from pale sky to deep navy.  It’s a classy and sophisticated look that’s easy on the eyes. 

neutral dining roomThis monochromatic dining room screams sophistication with multiple shades of gray, textured wallpaper and a stunning chandelier that pulls it all together

Experiment with Textures 

Colors can interact with different textures to create visual interest. Play with a variety of materials such as velvet, silk, wood, or metal, as they can add depth and richness to your color scheme. Textured surfaces can also reflect light differently, altering the perception of color in a space.

textured neutral roomThis monochromatic bedroom could have fallen flat, instead a textured wood paneled wall, a sculptural ratan chair and a large furry hide add the change in materials that make this room interesting and inviting

Create Focal Points with Color

Use color to draw attention to specific areas or elements in the room. For instance, you can paint an accent wall in a bold color or use colorful furniture, bold artwork, or brightly colored pillows and accessories to create a focal point. These focal points of color are like those fancy accessories that complete an outfit.  They’re the pops of color that add personality to your space.   

textured wallpaperA blue textured wallpaper on one wall that coordinates with the blue leather accents on the dining room chairs create a focal point that harmonizes with the entire design of the room

Consider the Flow Between Rooms

If your home has an open floor plan or if rooms are visible from one another, consider how colors will flow from one space to another. Choose colors that complement each other or create a harmonious transition between rooms to ensure a cohesive and visually pleasing overall look.

Don’t Forget the Power of the Fifth Wall – Your Ceiling

Painting it a lighter shade can make your room feel more open and spacious. Or if you’re feeling adventurous painting all five walls a vibrant color is a design risk that can really pay off.

All five walls, along with all trim, are painted a vibrant blue in this saturated room of color.

Now that you’re armed with a bit of color theory magic, go ahead and experiment! Your space is like a canvas, and you’re the artist. Mix and match, try different combinations, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through those colors. Need help choosing colors for an interior design project in Aiken, Atlanta, or Greenville? We’d love to help.

How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles https://nandinahome.com/interior-design-sweet-spot-four-styles/ Thu, 26 Jan 2023 14:04:52 +0000 https://nandinahome.com/?p=17306 Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to...

The post How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles appeared first on Nandina Home & Design.

Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to convince you that on a personal level there are five good reasons to dive in to defining your interior design sweet spot.   

    1. You will become a selective Shopper – Once you understand the basic interior design styles and their components you will be able to identify the characteristics of the style that you want your home to reflect.  Knowing what you love and what fits into the style of your home makes impulse buying, well , much less impulsive! You won’t be tempted to purchase that oversized floral, rolled arm sofa if you want your home to reflect a minimalist modern vibe!
    2. Investment purchasing will be part of your long term design strategy.  Remember when our parents or grandparents would purchase a sofa or a chest.  Those investment pieces would be reupholstered, moved from room to room, passed on to children and grandchildren.  We need to think about building the rooms of our homes around investment pieces that will stand the test of time.  A beautiful bespoke chest could be the foundation of a living room plan and later moved to a hall or bedroom.   
    3. Your rooms will fit you, just like your favorite clothes do.  Our homes and the rooms that make up our homes should be a reflection of who we are and what we value.  Once you realize what style of rooms bring you joy, comfort and confidence, you will love being in  your home the same way you love pulling on your favorite sweater.

The more you understand the style you love, the more you will be able to do the look for less

You should always have a budget for all of your interior design projects.  Knowing the design style that you are trying to achieve will give you the freedom and courage to splurge on some items while filling in frugally with other items.  In the design world we call this mixing high and low, or “how to get the look for less”.   

Knowing your style and executing it well, will help you achieve a home that you love.

Trying to define your personal style without having a basic understanding of the core interior design styles is a bit like planning a trip to the beach but not having any idea what route to get there or exactly which beach you want to end up on.   The elements of each design style are kin to a good roadmap (or in this day and age a GPS)  So let’s jump in and define the elements of the Four Core Interior Design Styles: Traditional, Modern, Transitional and Eclectic

Traditional Design

If you are drawn to traditional interior design style, you love a beautiful antique piece of furniture, rich wood tones in your furnishings, floral fabrics, hand knotted oriental rugs, skirted sofas and chairs, fringes and tapes on your drapes, and symmetry in your arrangements. 

Key elements of traditional style:

  • Classic 18th and 19th century  English antiques 
  • Furnishings with strong European influences
  • Rich textured fabrics
  • Stripes, plaids, florals
  • Symmetry
  • Gilt , tassels
  • Skirts, rolled arms, highly carved furnishings
  • Wallpaper, layered collections

Modern Design

Loving clean lines, uncluttered interiors, the combination of stone, glass, and mixed metals, and a monochromatic color palette are characteristics of a Modernist – a lover of Modern interior design.  There are many modern elements that are classics – since modernism first appeared on the design scene as early as the 1920’s 

Elements of Modern Style:

  • Sleek, clean lines, basic shapes
  • Muted – neutral color palette as the base
  • Furniture and accessories are lower to ground
  • Stone, metal, glass
  • Uncluttered! Has a strong minimalist vibe
  • No skirts, track arms vs rolled arms
  • Leather, hides, bold graphic patterns
modern interior design example

Transitional Design

The perfect blend of Modern and Traditional is the style that is described as Transitional.  Transitional balances sophisticated style with comfort to achieve a balanced interior, which effortlessly combines equal measures of Modern and Traditional elements.  Furnishings are comfortable but clean lined with stylish silhouettes, fabrics are rich but not overly ornate, like neutral velvets, mohairs, fresh linens.  An antique chest can share space with a modern abstract piece of art, and a classic hand knotted oushak rug.  No wonder that Transitional style is so popular – it reflects a more contemporary attitude of casual yet sophisticated interiors that are frequently warm and inviting.

Transitional Design Elements:

  • Seamlessly merges feminine/masculine, simple/sophisticated, sleek/curved or carved
  • Clean patterns, warm tones
  • Plush materials
  • Timeless, elegant and inviting
  • Track arms, mix of legs and skirt 
  • Mix of materials
  • Mix of art
  • Tone on tone or just pops of color

Eclectic

If you are into richly layered patterns and colors and the art of mixing seemingly disparate styles than you may be a fan of eclectic design.  Gallery walls, pattern on pattern textiles, a strong mix of furniture styles, and the use of statement objects are just a few of the characteristics that define an Eclectic styled room.

Eclectic Style:

  • Harmonization of seemingly disparate style, textures, and colors
  • Pair different design eras and genres – antique, farmhouse, modern, French, art deco
  • Don’t buy the set!!  Furniture and accessories need to look curated and not like a matching set
  • The look is controlled chaos – you can add in visual layers with lots of textures – without adding visual cacophony
  • Make it personal!!
eclectic interior design example

Nandina Home & Design – Shelly Marshall Schmidt

eclectic

Christina Scharf Design

The best part of understanding what elements define the Core Four design styles is that most of the popular design interiors you recognize today are a combination of these basic design styles.  I love to describe popular interior design styles like Bohemian,  Mid Century Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Modern Classic, Glamour

Some of today’s popular interior design mash ups:

  • Bohemian – a mix of eclectic and ethnic
  • Mid Century Modern – Mix of 50’s modern and  industrial 
  • Modern Farmhouse – Mix  modern, transitional, vintage and  industrial
  • Modern Classic or New Traditional –  Mixing the European influences of traditional design with classic modern elements (think Ralph Lauren!)
  • Hollywood Glamour – the perfect mix of eclectic and modern, bold uses of color with high contrast metals, glass and stone.

There are many more mash ups of interior design styles but once you master the basics you will better understand the design elements that best represent your personal style.  What could be better than to live in spaces that are well designed, beautiful and that perfectly reflect you! If you’re looking for an interior designer in Greenville, Atlanta, or Aiken – our team would love to help!

Back to Busy…

Custom Homes for Active Families 

 

The end of Summer and the first few weeks of Fall mean back to school, back to schedules and “back to busy” for many of us. While the re-establishment of routine is welcome, the loss of free-flowing, long summer days can feel overwhelming.  

In our most recent N Home publication we showcased two homes that were custom-built and designed with very busy families in mind. Let’s take a look into how seamlessly chaos can be formed into stylish function.  

 

Planned to Perfection

Design by: Susan Victor, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When you have two married surgeons, three young children and a cat, your life has to function like a well-oiled machine and your home needs to support that perfectly coordinated crew. When I was approached by this client to collaborate on the design of their new home, I quickly realized that how the space would function would be paramount to the overall success of this project. What you see following showcases a work-horse of a home that is the perfect example of the beauty of functional design. 

Great Room, Kitchen

The large great room needed to be sophisticated enough for entertaining and casual enough for the kids to lounge in after dinner. A pair of sectionals that face the fireplace allow for plenty of seating but their sleek mid-century styling makes the overall design sophisticated enough for entertaining.

Laundry Room

The laundry room incorporates a table to act as a desk or for a special school project or arts and crafts.

Mudroom

The mud room entry off of the garage boasts colorful character and organization for all of the paraphernalia that is needed for daily activities.

Custom built bunkbeds became the focal point of a boy’s room and made sharing a space as brothers into an adventure. 

Kid's Room

In an upstairs combination study and game room, we were able to find additional, creative space for beds hidden within the eaves of the roof line.  It  just required a little ingenuity and a great custom carpenter. What a great spot for sleepovers!

This project was filled with joy at every turn and I am proud to say the end result allowed every space the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the family.” Susan Victor

 

Nestled In Nature

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When these clients set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in an established neighborhood but also find a strong connection to the serenity of nature. This project brought an exciting challenge to create a space that would evoke a sense of calm and a retreat from the busy lifestyle created by two engaged professionals and two active tweens. In the end, we were able to create something for everyone and find a place where a young family can enter, connect to nature and to each other. 

FoyerImmediately upon entry, you are stunned by the breathtaking views and openness of the main living space. 

Great Room, Lake View

The design of the open-concept living/dining space seamlessly connects to the terrace. This provides an ideal space for entertaining family and friends while maintaining an elegantly welcoming character complete with reclaimed beams, classically transitional furniture and comfortable upholstery.

Kitchen, Dining Room

Foyer, Tile Floor, Mudroom

An inset tile rug at the mudroom entry functions to define the space and capture the dirt and sand before transitioning to the wood floors.

The upstairs houses two fun-loving girls with inspired design styles. Each one had a vision to carry out for their private space and now can share it with friends or curl-up with a good book. In one of the rooms, we designed a custom-built pop-up style desk under the window for efficiency and functionality. 

“Successfully melding the personalities of a family and creating a functional home based on how they live is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a designer.” Sue Shannon

The Beauty of Design 

Can beautiful design be defined or is it truly in the eyes of the beholder? At Nandina we believe that beautiful design is a fine balance of the personal and the definable. Your home is inherently an extension of you – your desires, your family’s personality and values, your idea of style and beauty. Working with our clients to create spaces that reflect beautiful design is our passion.

When this couple set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in a neighborhood but have a space that connected them to them to the serenity of nature.

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Interior Design in Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

The Beauty of Lifestyle Design 

Lifestyle design is based on the theory of intentionally crafting a way of life or a style of living. At Nandina we often base our design on the theory that we don’t design rooms, we help our clients create a lifestyle. A home that reflects and reinforces the life you live is a home based on beautiful lifestyle design. family living room, coiffured ceiling, performance fabrics, design with balance

Although the great room, kitchen and dining area are the epitome of sophisticated style, it is the heart of this family’s home. Performance fabrics, stain resistance carpets, and furniture that can handle daily use allow for comfort and the wear and tear of an active family with pets.

The most surprising element of design in this project is the lounge room. This couple was not afraid to work with color, texture and modern elements; they wanted their home to be an expression of their personalities…welcoming, stylish, and fun!

Throughout the design, textiles and color were used to add warmth and character, providing a modern aesthetic that is richly layered and reflective of our client’s personality.

The Beauty of Functional Design 

A home is so much more than a beautiful showroom of perfectly placed furniture, rugs, art and accessories.  If well designed, every space within the home will serve the needs of those that dwell within it. A functional design addresses all areas of you and your families’ daily activities.  Great functional design is based on how you specifically want to live in a space. custom furniture, kid's playroom, functional storage

Capturing unused space under the eaves of the roof line is a perfect example of functional design. These custom-designed roll out beds work great for slumber parties or additional house guests for this active and social family.

To introduce a more urban vibe we chose to accessorize the space more asymmetrically. Replacing original large mirrors with a Currey and Company buffet and art provided a beautiful look with the added extra storage she needed.

When previous clients approached Lori to design their new condo in Newburyport, MA they had just moved from a beautiful home in Charleston’s Low Country. They wanted this new home in New England to reflect warmth and comfort with a nod to the design elements from the Charleston home they had grown to love.

Design by: Lori Marvel, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Glenn Livermore Photography

The Beauty of Creative Design 

Creative design is ingenious and innovative, original and visionary. As designers we work to create functional spaces that fit our client’s lifestyles but ultimately judging the success of the design will hinge on the creativity of the design. It may be the use of color or surface selections in an unusual ways, or bringing traditionally outdoor product inside, or using furniture in new and innovative ways. historical homes, modern interior design, Charleston, south carolina

What we loved so much about this project was the rich historical feel of the architecture juxtaposed with the creatively layered modern interiors. The owner has a unique sense of style that is reflected in each room by incorporating into the design something personal, cultivated and striking.

Art played a big role in defining the personality of the home – quirky, collected, colorful – each piece used throughout was purposely chosen and intentionally placed.

The backsplash tile, a beautiful marble mosaic with gold inlay, drove the design. The combination of a warm marble style counter top and the addition of natural wood in select areas creates a kitchen that is the best of both worlds…dressy and casual.

Living by the Water

For most of us over this past year home has become our haven, a safe harbor in a world that suddenly felt unsafe, a place where we retreated and revived, and thankfully found peace and comfort. We can find safety, joy and sanctuary in how our spaces interplay with nature, as in the majesty and stillness of mountains or the calm of a lake’s still waters.  

We are grateful to have been involved in several client projects that have created meaningful, joyful and calming homes by the water.

The aspect of how the water met the horizon brought the greatest sense of peace and inspiration for this project. When my clients discussed how they wanted the interiors to function and feel, their clear goal was to achieve a family home that would feel like a sanctuary, retreat and safe harbor of love for their extended family. – John Ishmael

The biggest challenge for this project was to design a home that would meld together their new surroundings with their previous belongings in order to make a comfortable, beautiful, warm and welcoming lakeside sanctuary. Every room gracefully mixes French and English antiques with casual rugs, comfortable neutral sofas and chairs, and a color palette that speaks to life on the lake. – Susan Victor Living by the Water

My clients desired to create a clean-lined modern beach house that could be a haven for their family and friends, but also have furnishings suitable for luxury rentals. The end result boasts a home filled with joyous touches, a fresh coastal vibe and an appreciation for those that spend time there. – Sue Shannon

The main criteria of this design revolved around the lake, which brings such joy to this family, and all of the main rooms open to a beautiful lake view. It has been my good fortune to work with this family, who live full-time on a lake, over several years to methodically create a home that reflects both their interests and personalities. – Michele Merritt Living by the Water

Garden Club Event at Nandina Home and Design in Greenville

In March, our Greenville interior design team hosted a ladies’ garden club in our newest showroom. Designers Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor developed an interactive project for the group that drew inspiration from florals.  

“We wanted to tie back to the nature of the organization and incorporate how florals can be an integral part of a design plan. BethAnn and I designed a mood board, in advance, with one red tulip as our inspiration; we then let the group break up into teams and compile their own cohesive designs plans around the floral of their choice. By offering rug samples, fabric and wall covering swatches and small accessories, each group was able to get first-hand experience in to what elements are involved when pulling a design plan together.”

MEET THE GREENVILLE DESIGNERS

Come in to meet our design team of Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor, both Upstate natives who have returned to Greenville to apply their ample, diverse experience to Greenville homes with excitement and renewed perspective. Nandina Home Greenville


Ashley Diggelmann, ALLIED ASID | Lead Designer

“Home is the framework of memories; a place where you relax, laugh and share stories. I draw inspiration for my work from people and how they live. The focus of designing spaces for my clients’ centers around making room for their lives. Whether a new build, styling, residential or commercial, collected or modern, the best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”

A native of the Upstate, Ashley received her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Anderson University. She comes to Nandina with eight years of experience from GDC Home in Charleston, SC. She has gained a vast amount of experience working on residential, hospitality and commercial projects and approaches each project with the desire to marry both beauty and function. Her extensive work with architects and contractors has brought vision to her work and her distinct style is a blend of whimsey and sophistication. She loves assisting clients with a wide range of challenges, including selecting architectural details and finishes, decorating a functional, beautiful space, and creating custom pieces tailor-made to expertly reflect clients’ personal taste and style.  Nandina Home

Greenville

BethAnn Connor, ALLIED ASID | Associate Designer  

“From a young age, I’ve been drawn to interior design because I love being able to design beautiful spaces that bring joy, comfort, and serenity. Your home is a reflection of you and each room in your home should showcase your passions and personality. As a designer, my goal is to seamlessly blend functionality, aesthetics, and personal style to create a home that tells the story of you and your family.”

BethAnn, a native to Greenville, began working with Nandina Home & Design in Aiken after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. While with Nandina, BethAnn worked closely with one of the principal designers in Aiken on varying residential and commercial projects. After three and a half years, she moved to Dallas, TX to work for a large residential design firm, IBB Fine Furnishings, joining a team supporting a nationally recognized designer. While at IBB, BethAnn gained experience working on large-scale, luxury projects in a fast-paced, urban environment. She was able to grow her interior design expertise and explore new techniques with color, design, space, and textures. BethAnn strives to make designs beautiful, yet functional and loves incorporating color, antiques, and bold accents when designing spaces. In her free time, she enjoys going on walks, watching movies, yoga, and spending time with friends and family.

On November 30, 2023, the Nandina team gathered in Greenville alongside friends, family, and colleagues to celebrate design and the closing of a prosperous year. Inspired by N Home Magazine’s latest issue, the event was titled, Elements of Design. Featuring tasty hors d’oeuvres, and mixologist-crafted cocktails, it was truly a testament to the creative process. Sponsored in part by Foster Victor and Atlanta-based Currey & CompanyElements of Design was additionally a celebration of the relationships we maintain with our clients and vendors.

Great vendors like Currey & Company are paramount to any successful design project. They provide our design teams with the quality products required to complete their clients’ visions and often share information regarding the ever-changing interior design industry news, trends, and knowledge. In this spirit, Susan Victor sat down with Aimee Kurzner, Director of Furniture at Currey & Company, to discuss her career and design. Aimee shared her invaluable insights, noting the significance of the design elements to her creative process. 

What are the Elements of Design?

Interior designers use elements such as color, composition, texture, lighting, and balance to shape the ultimate aesthetic and practicality of a design. They are used to create artful layers that authentically and stylishly reflect a client’s preferences, personality, and lifestyle.

Here’s how the Nandina design teams use the elements of design to create beautiful, unique, and practical designs for their clients.

Proportion

Proportion addresses spatial relationships, or the relative size and scale of various elements within a room. Proportion enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space all while fostering a sense of equilibrium and comfort. Achieving proper proportion is a key reason as to why many interior design projects often begin with taking measurements and snapping photographs. This is a fundamental step because designers must reference these when making furniture, lighting, and accessory selections. 

Balance

Similar to proportion, balance is all about equilibrium. It can be attained through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements. Symmetrical arrangements are cohesive and inherently tidy. Asymmetrical arrangements have distinct visual elements that are positioned on opposite sides of a design, yet the overall composition appears balanced. 

Lighting

Currey and Company is known for its bespoke lighting fixtures. Beautiful lighting plays a pivotal role in imbuing a space with ambiance and mood. To emphasize this point, The Washington Post released an article last year regarding the importance of lighting selections, noting its ability to affect your psychological state and circadian rhythm. Lighting contributes to the overall design aesthetic, sometimes acting as an accessory or focal point. 

Texture & Pattern

Our Nandina designers think of texture as just another color. The introduction of various textures and patterns in area rugs, furniture, wallpaper, and art adds depth and visual intrigue. Texture and pattern enhance the tactile appeal of a design, giving a room dimension through its palpable layers. 

Color

Like lighting, color possesses the ability to transform the mood of a room or space. When skillfully chosen, color can set its intended tone. Bold colors, such as orange and lime green, bring dynamism and life to a design. Neutral palettes, on the other hand, tend to elicit feelings of serenity and calm. 

Emphasis

Emphasis creates a focal point, directing attention to a specific area or element within a room. This attention-grabbing effect can be crafted through the strategic use of the other design elements, such as lighting, color, and accessories. Emphasis adds drama and flair. Think of emphasis as the exclamation point of design! 

Well-curated Accents & Accessories

Accents and accessories heighten the visual allure of a design. Whether it’s artwork, sculptures, cherished heirlooms, or bold statement pieces, these details contribute to a space’s personality. Accents and accessories serve as the narrative essence in the realm of design, reflecting the stories and personalities of the homeowners.  

Composition

Finally, there’s composition. This design element involves the harmonious interplay of the design elements within a single design. While it may be challenging to define, successful composition is unmistakable. It guarantees that every detail collaborates seamlessly. 

Do you Need the Assistance of Passionate Professionals?

Interior Design is a multi-faceted profession that requires rigorous creativity, empathy, and technical expertise. At its core, interior design beats the pulse of passion. It is the heart of the profession and something worth celebrating. Like Aimee Kurzner, the designers that make up Nandina Home & Design are rich in knowledge and passion. If you are looking for interior design assistance, allow us to assist you. Our philosophy that designs should always reflect the “Real Life” and “Real Style” of our clients is practiced across all our passionate, talented, and experienced design teams.

As interior designers the use of color is one of the most critical design tools that we can use, and at Nandina we love color.  Here are some of our tried and true tips on how to use color to create amazing spaces in every design project.

Start with a Color Palette

Choose a color palette that suits your interior design style and the mood you want to create in the room. Picking the right colors isn’t just about what looks pretty (although that’s a big part of it!). Consider the overall theme, the purpose of the space, and your personal preferences. You can create a monochromatic scheme using various shades of a single color, or opt for complementary or analogous colors for a more vibrant look. Complementary and analogous colors are concepts that are part of the overall field of “color theory”. 

Use a Color Wheel

If choosing colors feels complicated then meet your new best friend the color wheel – it’s like your ultimate color cheat sheet. Opposite colors on the wheel, like red and green, are called complementary colors. They’re like a match made in color heaven, bringing out the best in each other. And then there are analogous colors, which are neighbors on the wheel. They play so well together, creating a harmonious and seamless look.

The color wheel – your new best friend

Use Color to Set the Mood   

Different colors evoke different emotions and moods. Imagine walking into a room that’s like a warm hug – cozy, inviting, and just feels right. That’s the magic of color psychology! Each color has its own personality, and it can totally affect your mood. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows bring in energy and excitement. They’re like that friend who’s always up for an adventure.  But if you’re all about chill vibes and tranquility, cool colors like blues and greens are your go-to pals. They create a calm and serene atmosphere – perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings with a book and a cup of tea.

Balance Bold and Neutral Colors

If you want to incorporate bold or vibrant colors into your space, balance them with neutral colors. Neutrals like white, beige, gray, or taupe can serve as a backdrop that allows your accent colors to shine. This balance helps prevent the space from becoming overwhelming and ensures a cohesive look.

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Monochromatic

Ever heard of monochromatic magic? It’s all about sticking to shades of a single color. Picture a room dressed in various shades of blue – from pale sky to deep navy.  It’s a classy and sophisticated look that’s easy on the eyes. 

neutral dining roomThis monochromatic dining room screams sophistication with multiple shades of gray, textured wallpaper and a stunning chandelier that pulls it all together

Experiment with Textures 

Colors can interact with different textures to create visual interest. Play with a variety of materials such as velvet, silk, wood, or metal, as they can add depth and richness to your color scheme. Textured surfaces can also reflect light differently, altering the perception of color in a space.

textured neutral roomThis monochromatic bedroom could have fallen flat, instead a textured wood paneled wall, a sculptural ratan chair and a large furry hide add the change in materials that make this room interesting and inviting

Create Focal Points with Color

Use color to draw attention to specific areas or elements in the room. For instance, you can paint an accent wall in a bold color or use colorful furniture, bold artwork, or brightly colored pillows and accessories to create a focal point. These focal points of color are like those fancy accessories that complete an outfit.  They’re the pops of color that add personality to your space.   

textured wallpaperA blue textured wallpaper on one wall that coordinates with the blue leather accents on the dining room chairs create a focal point that harmonizes with the entire design of the room

Consider the Flow Between Rooms

If your home has an open floor plan or if rooms are visible from one another, consider how colors will flow from one space to another. Choose colors that complement each other or create a harmonious transition between rooms to ensure a cohesive and visually pleasing overall look.

Don’t Forget the Power of the Fifth Wall – Your Ceiling

Painting it a lighter shade can make your room feel more open and spacious. Or if you’re feeling adventurous painting all five walls a vibrant color is a design risk that can really pay off.

All five walls, along with all trim, are painted a vibrant blue in this saturated room of color.

Now that you’re armed with a bit of color theory magic, go ahead and experiment! Your space is like a canvas, and you’re the artist. Mix and match, try different combinations, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through those colors. Need help choosing colors for an interior design project in Aiken, Atlanta, or Greenville? We’d love to help.

How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles https://nandinahome.com/interior-design-sweet-spot-four-styles/ Thu, 26 Jan 2023 14:04:52 +0000 https://nandinahome.com/?p=17306 Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to...

The post How to Define Your Interior Design Sweet Spot Using the Four Core Interior Design Styles appeared first on Nandina Home & Design.

Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to convince you that on a personal level there are five good reasons to dive in to defining your interior design sweet spot.   

    1. You will become a selective Shopper – Once you understand the basic interior design styles and their components you will be able to identify the characteristics of the style that you want your home to reflect.  Knowing what you love and what fits into the style of your home makes impulse buying, well , much less impulsive! You won’t be tempted to purchase that oversized floral, rolled arm sofa if you want your home to reflect a minimalist modern vibe!
    2. Investment purchasing will be part of your long term design strategy.  Remember when our parents or grandparents would purchase a sofa or a chest.  Those investment pieces would be reupholstered, moved from room to room, passed on to children and grandchildren.  We need to think about building the rooms of our homes around investment pieces that will stand the test of time.  A beautiful bespoke chest could be the foundation of a living room plan and later moved to a hall or bedroom.   
    3. Your rooms will fit you, just like your favorite clothes do.  Our homes and the rooms that make up our homes should be a reflection of who we are and what we value.  Once you realize what style of rooms bring you joy, comfort and confidence, you will love being in  your home the same way you love pulling on your favorite sweater.

The more you understand the style you love, the more you will be able to do the look for less

You should always have a budget for all of your interior design projects.  Knowing the design style that you are trying to achieve will give you the freedom and courage to splurge on some items while filling in frugally with other items.  In the design world we call this mixing high and low, or “how to get the look for less”.   

Knowing your style and executing it well, will help you achieve a home that you love.

Trying to define your personal style without having a basic understanding of the core interior design styles is a bit like planning a trip to the beach but not having any idea what route to get there or exactly which beach you want to end up on.   The elements of each design style are kin to a good roadmap (or in this day and age a GPS)  So let’s jump in and define the elements of the Four Core Interior Design Styles: Traditional, Modern, Transitional and Eclectic

Traditional Design

If you are drawn to traditional interior design style, you love a beautiful antique piece of furniture, rich wood tones in your furnishings, floral fabrics, hand knotted oriental rugs, skirted sofas and chairs, fringes and tapes on your drapes, and symmetry in your arrangements. 

Key elements of traditional style:

  • Classic 18th and 19th century  English antiques 
  • Furnishings with strong European influences
  • Rich textured fabrics
  • Stripes, plaids, florals
  • Symmetry
  • Gilt , tassels
  • Skirts, rolled arms, highly carved furnishings
  • Wallpaper, layered collections

Modern Design

Loving clean lines, uncluttered interiors, the combination of stone, glass, and mixed metals, and a monochromatic color palette are characteristics of a Modernist – a lover of Modern interior design.  There are many modern elements that are classics – since modernism first appeared on the design scene as early as the 1920’s 

Elements of Modern Style:

  • Sleek, clean lines, basic shapes
  • Muted – neutral color palette as the base
  • Furniture and accessories are lower to ground
  • Stone, metal, glass
  • Uncluttered! Has a strong minimalist vibe
  • No skirts, track arms vs rolled arms
  • Leather, hides, bold graphic patterns
modern interior design example

Christina Scharf Design

Nandina Home & Design – Shelly Marshall Schmidt

Transitional Design

The perfect blend of Modern and Traditional is the style that is described as Transitional.  Transitional balances sophisticated style with comfort to achieve a balanced interior, which effortlessly combines equal measures of Modern and Traditional elements.  Furnishings are comfortable but clean lined with stylish silhouettes, fabrics are rich but not overly ornate, like neutral velvets, mohairs, fresh linens.  An antique chest can share space with a modern abstract piece of art, and a classic hand knotted oushak rug.  No wonder that Transitional style is so popular – it reflects a more contemporary attitude of casual yet sophisticated interiors that are frequently warm and inviting.

Transitional Design Elements:

  • Seamlessly merges feminine/masculine, simple/sophisticated, sleek/curved or carved
  • Clean patterns, warm tones
  • Plush materials
  • Timeless, elegant and inviting
  • Track arms, mix of legs and skirt 
  • Mix of materials
  • Mix of art
  • Tone on tone or just pops of color
traditional interior design example

Eclectic

If you are into richly layered patterns and colors and the art of mixing seemingly disparate styles than you may be a fan of eclectic design.  Gallery walls, pattern on pattern textiles, a strong mix of furniture styles, and the use of statement objects are just a few of the characteristics that define an Eclectic styled room.

Eclectic Style:

  • Harmonization of seemingly disparate style, textures, and colors
  • Pair different design eras and genres – antique, farmhouse, modern, French, art deco
  • Don’t buy the set!!  Furniture and accessories need to look curated and not like a matching set
  • The look is controlled chaos – you can add in visual layers with lots of textures – without adding visual cacophony
  • Make it personal!!
eclectic interior design example

eclectic

Christina Scharf Design

The best part of understanding what elements define the Core Four design styles is that most of the popular design interiors you recognize today are a combination of these basic design styles.  I love to describe popular interior design styles like Bohemian,  Mid Century Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Modern Classic, Glamour

Some of today’s popular interior design mash ups:

  • Bohemian – a mix of eclectic and ethnic
  • Mid Century Modern – Mix of 50’s modern and  industrial 
  • Modern Farmhouse – Mix  modern, transitional, vintage and  industrial
  • Modern Classic or New Traditional –  Mixing the European influences of traditional design with classic modern elements (think Ralph Lauren!)
  • Hollywood Glamour – the perfect mix of eclectic and modern, bold uses of color with high contrast metals, glass and stone.

There are many more mash ups of interior design styles but once you master the basics you will better understand the design elements that best represent your personal style.  What could be better than to live in spaces that are well designed, beautiful and that perfectly reflect you! If you’re looking for an interior designer in Greenville, Atlanta, or Aiken – our team would love to help!

Back to Busy…

Custom Homes for Active Families 

 

The end of Summer and the first few weeks of Fall mean back to school, back to schedules and “back to busy” for many of us. While the re-establishment of routine is welcome, the loss of free-flowing, long summer days can feel overwhelming.  

In our most recent N Home publication we showcased two homes that were custom-built and designed with very busy families in mind. Let’s take a look into how seamlessly chaos can be formed into stylish function.  

 

Planned to Perfection

Design by: Susan Victor, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When you have two married surgeons, three young children and a cat, your life has to function like a well-oiled machine and your home needs to support that perfectly coordinated crew. When I was approached by this client to collaborate on the design of their new home, I quickly realized that how the space would function would be paramount to the overall success of this project. What you see following showcases a work-horse of a home that is the perfect example of the beauty of functional design. 

Great Room, Kitchen

The large great room needed to be sophisticated enough for entertaining and casual enough for the kids to lounge in after dinner. A pair of sectionals that face the fireplace allow for plenty of seating but their sleek mid-century styling makes the overall design sophisticated enough for entertaining.

Laundry Room

The laundry room incorporates a table to act as a desk or for a special school project or arts and crafts.

Mudroom

The mud room entry off of the garage boasts colorful character and organization for all of the paraphernalia that is needed for daily activities.

Custom built bunkbeds became the focal point of a boy’s room and made sharing a space as brothers into an adventure. 

Kid's Room

In an upstairs combination study and game room, we were able to find additional, creative space for beds hidden within the eaves of the roof line.  It  just required a little ingenuity and a great custom carpenter. What a great spot for sleepovers!

This project was filled with joy at every turn and I am proud to say the end result allowed every space the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the family.” Susan Victor

When these clients set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in an established neighborhood but also find a strong connection to the serenity of nature. This project brought an exciting challenge to create a space that would evoke a sense of calm and a retreat from the busy lifestyle created by two engaged professionals and two active tweens. In the end, we were able to create something for everyone and find a place where a young family can enter, connect to nature and to each other.

Great Room, Lake View

The design of the open-concept living/dining space seamlessly connects to the terrace. This provides an ideal space for entertaining family and friends while maintaining an elegantly welcoming character complete with reclaimed beams, classically transitional furniture and comfortable upholstery.

Foyer, Tile Floor, Mudroom

An inset tile rug at the mudroom entry functions to define the space and capture the dirt and sand before transitioning to the wood floors.

The upstairs houses two fun-loving girls with inspired design styles. Each one had a vision to carry out for their private space and now can share it with friends or curl-up with a good book. In one of the rooms, we designed a custom-built pop-up style desk under the window for efficiency and functionality. 

“Successfully melding the personalities of a family and creating a functional home based on how they live is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a designer.” Sue Shannon

The Beauty of Design 

Can beautiful design be defined or is it truly in the eyes of the beholder? At Nandina we believe that beautiful design is a fine balance of the personal and the definable. Your home is inherently an extension of you – your desires, your family’s personality and values, your idea of style and beauty. Working with our clients to create spaces that reflect beautiful design is our passion.

The Beauty of Lifestyle Design 

Lifestyle design is based on the theory of intentionally crafting a way of life or a style of living. At Nandina we often base our design on the theory that we don’t design rooms, we help our clients create a lifestyle. A home that reflects and reinforces the life you live is a home based on beautiful lifestyle design. family living room, coiffured ceiling, performance fabrics, design with balance

Although the great room, kitchen and dining area are the epitome of sophisticated style, it is the heart of this family’s home. Performance fabrics, stain resistance carpets, and furniture that can handle daily use allow for comfort and the wear and tear of an active family with pets.

The Beauty of Functional Design 

A home is so much more than a beautiful showroom of perfectly placed furniture, rugs, art and accessories.  If well designed, every space within the home will serve the needs of those that dwell within it. A functional design addresses all areas of you and your families’ daily activities.  Great functional design is based on how you specifically want to live in a space. custom furniture, kid's playroom, functional storage

Capturing unused space under the eaves of the roof line is a perfect example of functional design. These custom-designed roll out beds work great for slumber parties or additional house guests for this active and social family.

When previous clients approached Lori to design their new condo in Newburyport, MA they had just moved from a beautiful home in Charleston’s Low Country. They wanted this new home in New England to reflect warmth and comfort with a nod to the design elements from the Charleston home they had grown to love.

The Beauty of Creative Design 

Creative design is ingenious and innovative, original and visionary. As designers we work to create functional spaces that fit our client’s lifestyles but ultimately judging the success of the design will hinge on the creativity of the design. It may be the use of color or surface selections in an unusual ways, or bringing traditionally outdoor product inside, or using furniture in new and innovative ways. historical homes, modern interior design, Charleston, south carolina

What we loved so much about this project was the rich historical feel of the architecture juxtaposed with the creatively layered modern interiors. The owner has a unique sense of style that is reflected in each room by incorporating into the design something personal, cultivated and striking.

Art played a big role in defining the personality of the home – quirky, collected, colorful – each piece used throughout was purposely chosen and intentionally placed.

Living by the Water

For most of us over this past year home has become our haven, a safe harbor in a world that suddenly felt unsafe, a place where we retreated and revived, and thankfully found peace and comfort. We can find safety, joy and sanctuary in how our spaces interplay with nature, as in the majesty and stillness of mountains or the calm of a lake’s still waters.  

We are grateful to have been involved in several client projects that have created meaningful, joyful and calming homes by the water.

The aspect of how the water met the horizon brought the greatest sense of peace and inspiration for this project. When my clients discussed how they wanted the interiors to function and feel, their clear goal was to achieve a family home that would feel like a sanctuary, retreat and safe harbor of love for their extended family. – John Ishmael

The biggest challenge for this project was to design a home that would meld together their new surroundings with their previous belongings in order to make a comfortable, beautiful, warm and welcoming lakeside sanctuary. Every room gracefully mixes French and English antiques with casual rugs, comfortable neutral sofas and chairs, and a color palette that speaks to life on the lake. – Susan Victor Living by the Water

My clients desired to create a clean-lined modern beach house that could be a haven for their family and friends, but also have furnishings suitable for luxury rentals. The end result boasts a home filled with joyous touches, a fresh coastal vibe and an appreciation for those that spend time there. – Sue Shannon

The main criteria of this design revolved around the lake, which brings such joy to this family, and all of the main rooms open to a beautiful lake view. It has been my good fortune to work with this family, who live full-time on a lake, over several years to methodically create a home that reflects both their interests and personalities. – Michele Merritt Living by the Water

Garden Club Event at Nandina Home and Design in Greenville

In March, our Greenville interior design team hosted a ladies’ garden club in our newest showroom. Designers Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor developed an interactive project for the group that drew inspiration from florals.  

“We wanted to tie back to the nature of the organization and incorporate how florals can be an integral part of a design plan. BethAnn and I designed a mood board, in advance, with one red tulip as our inspiration; we then let the group break up into teams and compile their own cohesive designs plans around the floral of their choice. By offering rug samples, fabric and wall covering swatches and small accessories, each group was able to get first-hand experience in to what elements are involved when pulling a design plan together.”

MEET THE GREENVILLE DESIGNERS

Come in to meet our design team of Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor, both Upstate natives who have returned to Greenville to apply their ample, diverse experience to Greenville homes with excitement and renewed perspective. Nandina Home Greenville


Ashley Diggelmann, ALLIED ASID | Lead Designer

“Home is the framework of memories; a place where you relax, laugh and share stories. I draw inspiration for my work from people and how they live. The focus of designing spaces for my clients’ centers around making room for their lives. Whether a new build, styling, residential or commercial, collected or modern, the best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”

A native of the Upstate, Ashley received her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Anderson University. She comes to Nandina with eight years of experience from GDC Home in Charleston, SC. She has gained a vast amount of experience working on residential, hospitality and commercial projects and approaches each project with the desire to marry both beauty and function. Her extensive work with architects and contractors has brought vision to her work and her distinct style is a blend of whimsey and sophistication. She loves assisting clients with a wide range of challenges, including selecting architectural details and finishes, decorating a functional, beautiful space, and creating custom pieces tailor-made to expertly reflect clients’ personal taste and style.  Nandina Home

Greenville

BethAnn Connor, ALLIED ASID | Associate Designer  

“From a young age, I’ve been drawn to interior design because I love being able to design beautiful spaces that bring joy, comfort, and serenity. Your home is a reflection of you and each room in your home should showcase your passions and personality. As a designer, my goal is to seamlessly blend functionality, aesthetics, and personal style to create a home that tells the story of you and your family.”

BethAnn, a native to Greenville, began working with Nandina Home & Design in Aiken after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. While with Nandina, BethAnn worked closely with one of the principal designers in Aiken on varying residential and commercial projects. After three and a half years, she moved to Dallas, TX to work for a large residential design firm, IBB Fine Furnishings, joining a team supporting a nationally recognized designer. While at IBB, BethAnn gained experience working on large-scale, luxury projects in a fast-paced, urban environment. She was able to grow her interior design expertise and explore new techniques with color, design, space, and textures. BethAnn strives to make designs beautiful, yet functional and loves incorporating color, antiques, and bold accents when designing spaces. In her free time, she enjoys going on walks, watching movies, yoga, and spending time with friends and family.

On November 30, 2023, the Nandina team gathered in Greenville alongside friends, family, and colleagues to celebrate design and the closing of a prosperous year. Inspired by N Home Magazine’s latest issue, the event was titled, Elements of Design. Featuring tasty hors d’oeuvres, and mixologist-crafted cocktails, it was truly a testament to the creative process. Sponsored in part by Foster Victor and Atlanta-based Currey & CompanyElements of Design was additionally a celebration of the relationships we maintain with our clients and vendors. 

Susan Victor and Aimee Kurzner at the Elements of Design event in Greenville, SC

Great vendors like Currey & Company are paramount to any successful design project. They provide our design teams with the quality products required to complete their clients’ visions and often share information regarding the ever-changing interior design industry news, trends, and knowledge. In this spirit, Susan Victor sat down with Aimee Kurzner, Director of Furniture at Currey & Company, to discuss her career and design. Aimee shared her invaluable insights, noting the significance of the design elements to her creative process. 

What are the Elements of Design?

Interior designers use elements such as color, composition, texture, lighting, and balance to shape the ultimate aesthetic and practicality of a design. They are used to create artful layers that authentically and stylishly reflect a client’s preferences, personality, and lifestyle.

Here’s how the Nandina design teams use the elements of design to create beautiful, unique, and practical designs for their clients.

Proportion

Proportion addresses spatial relationships, or the relative size and scale of various elements within a room. Proportion enhances the overall aesthetic and functionality of a space all while fostering a sense of equilibrium and comfort. Achieving proper proportion is a key reason as to why many interior design projects often begin with taking measurements and snapping photographs. This is a fundamental step because designers must reference these when making furniture, lighting, and accessory selections. 

Balance

Similar to proportion, balance is all about equilibrium. It can be attained through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements. Symmetrical arrangements are cohesive and inherently tidy. Asymmetrical arrangements have distinct visual elements that are positioned on opposite sides of a design, yet the overall composition appears balanced. 

Lighting

Currey and Company is known for its bespoke lighting fixtures. Beautiful lighting plays a pivotal role in imbuing a space with ambiance and mood. To emphasize this point, The Washington Post released an article last year regarding the importance of lighting selections, noting its ability to affect your psychological state and circadian rhythm. Lighting contributes to the overall design aesthetic, sometimes acting as an accessory or focal point. 

Texture & Pattern

Our Nandina designers think of texture as just another color. The introduction of various textures and patterns in area rugs, furniture, wallpaper, and art adds depth and visual intrigue. Texture and pattern enhance the tactile appeal of a design, giving a room dimension through its palpable layers. 

Color

Like lighting, color possesses the ability to transform the mood of a room or space. When skillfully chosen, color can set its intended tone. Bold colors, such as orange and lime green, bring dynamism and life to a design. Neutral palettes, on the other hand, tend to elicit feelings of serenity and calm. 

Emphasis

Emphasis creates a focal point, directing attention to a specific area or element within a room. This attention-grabbing effect can be crafted through the strategic use of the other design elements, such as lighting, color, and accessories. Emphasis adds drama and flair. Think of emphasis as the exclamation point of design! 

Well-curated Accents & Accessories

Accents and accessories heighten the visual allure of a design. Whether it’s artwork, sculptures, cherished heirlooms, or bold statement pieces, these details contribute to a space’s personality. Accents and accessories serve as the narrative essence in the realm of design, reflecting the stories and personalities of the homeowners.  

Composition

Finally, there’s composition. This design element involves the harmonious interplay of the design elements within a single design. While it may be challenging to define, successful composition is unmistakable. It guarantees that every detail collaborates seamlessly. 

Do you Need the Assistance of Passionate Professionals?

Interior Design is a multi-faceted profession that requires rigorous creativity, empathy, and technical expertise. At its core, interior design beats the pulse of passion. It is the heart of the profession and something worth celebrating. Like Aimee Kurzner, the designers that make up Nandina Home & Design are rich in knowledge and passion. If you are looking for interior design assistance, allow us to assist you. Our philosophy that designs should always reflect the “Real Life” and “Real Style” of our clients is practiced across all our passionate, talented, and experienced design teams.

As interior designers the use of color is one of the most critical design tools that we can use, and at Nandina we love color.  Here are some of our tried and true tips on how to use color to create amazing spaces in every design project.

Start with a Color Palette

Choose a color palette that suits your interior design style and the mood you want to create in the room. Picking the right colors isn’t just about what looks pretty (although that’s a big part of it!). Consider the overall theme, the purpose of the space, and your personal preferences. You can create a monochromatic scheme using various shades of a single color, or opt for complementary or analogous colors for a more vibrant look. Complementary and analogous colors are concepts that are part of the overall field of “color theory”. 

Use a Color Wheel

If choosing colors feels complicated then meet your new best friend the color wheel – it’s like your ultimate color cheat sheet. Opposite colors on the wheel, like red and green, are called complementary colors. They’re like a match made in color heaven, bringing out the best in each other. And then there are analogous colors, which are neighbors on the wheel. They play so well together, creating a harmonious and seamless look.

The color wheel – your new best friend

Use Color to Set the Mood   

Different colors evoke different emotions and moods. Imagine walking into a room that’s like a warm hug – cozy, inviting, and just feels right. That’s the magic of color psychology! Each color has its own personality, and it can totally affect your mood. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows bring in energy and excitement. They’re like that friend who’s always up for an adventure.  But if you’re all about chill vibes and tranquility, cool colors like blues and greens are your go-to pals. They create a calm and serene atmosphere – perfect for those lazy Sunday mornings with a book and a cup of tea.

The reds and oranges scattered throughout this room are warm and inviting and give the room energy

Balance Bold and Neutral Colors

If you want to incorporate bold or vibrant colors into your space, balance them with neutral colors. Neutrals like white, beige, gray, or taupe can serve as a backdrop that allows your accent colors to shine. This balance helps prevent the space from becoming overwhelming and ensures a cohesive look.

blue and green roomThe large white sectional and white walls are the perfect backdrop to the vibrant blues and greens in the pillows, art and rug in this playful den

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Monochromatic

Ever heard of monochromatic magic? It’s all about sticking to shades of a single color. Picture a room dressed in various shades of blue – from pale sky to deep navy.  It’s a classy and sophisticated look that’s easy on the eyes. 

neutral dining roomThis monochromatic dining room screams sophistication with multiple shades of gray, textured wallpaper and a stunning chandelier that pulls it all together

Experiment with Textures 

Colors can interact with different textures to create visual interest. Play with a variety of materials such as velvet, silk, wood, or metal, as they can add depth and richness to your color scheme. Textured surfaces can also reflect light differently, altering the perception of color in a space.

textured neutral roomThis monochromatic bedroom could have fallen flat, instead a textured wood paneled wall, a sculptural ratan chair and a large furry hide add the change in materials that make this room interesting and inviting

Create Focal Points with Color

Use color to draw attention to specific areas or elements in the room. For instance, you can paint an accent wall in a bold color or use colorful furniture, bold artwork, or brightly colored pillows and accessories to create a focal point. These focal points of color are like those fancy accessories that complete an outfit.  They’re the pops of color that add personality to your space.   

textured wallpaperA blue textured wallpaper on one wall that coordinates with the blue leather accents on the dining room chairs create a focal point that harmonizes with the entire design of the room

Consider the Flow Between Rooms

If your home has an open floor plan or if rooms are visible from one another, consider how colors will flow from one space to another. Choose colors that complement each other or create a harmonious transition between rooms to ensure a cohesive and visually pleasing overall look.

Don’t Forget the Power of the Fifth Wall – Your Ceiling

Painting it a lighter shade can make your room feel more open and spacious. Or if you’re feeling adventurous painting all five walls a vibrant color is a design risk that can really pay off.

All five walls, along with all trim, are painted a vibrant blue in this saturated room of color.

Now that you’re armed with a bit of color theory magic, go ahead and experiment! Your space is like a canvas, and you’re the artist. Mix and match, try different combinations, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through those colors. Need help choosing colors for an interior design project in Aiken, Atlanta, or Greenville? We’d love to help.

Why does it matter if you understand interior design styles, much less have your personal interior design style fully articulated?  As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it probably matters very little.  But I am here to convince you that on a personal level there are five good reasons to dive in to defining your interior design sweet spot.   

    1. You will become a selective Shopper – Once you understand the basic interior design styles and their components you will be able to identify the characteristics of the style that you want your home to reflect.  Knowing what you love and what fits into the style of your home makes impulse buying, well , much less impulsive! You won’t be tempted to purchase that oversized floral, rolled arm sofa if you want your home to reflect a minimalist modern vibe!
    2. Investment purchasing will be part of your long term design strategy.  Remember when our parents or grandparents would purchase a sofa or a chest.  Those investment pieces would be reupholstered, moved from room to room, passed on to children and grandchildren.  We need to think about building the rooms of our homes around investment pieces that will stand the test of time.  A beautiful bespoke chest could be the foundation of a living room plan and later moved to a hall or bedroom.   
    3. Your rooms will fit you, just like your favorite clothes do.  Our homes and the rooms that make up our homes should be a reflection of who we are and what we value.  Once you realize what style of rooms bring you joy, comfort and confidence, you will love being in  your home the same way you love pulling on your favorite sweater.

The more you understand the style you love, the more you will be able to do the look for less

You should always have a budget for all of your interior design projects.  Knowing the design style that you are trying to achieve will give you the freedom and courage to splurge on some items while filling in frugally with other items.  In the design world we call this mixing high and low, or “how to get the look for less”.   

Knowing your style and executing it well, will help you achieve a home that you love.

Trying to define your personal style without having a basic understanding of the core interior design styles is a bit like planning a trip to the beach but not having any idea what route to get there or exactly which beach you want to end up on.   The elements of each design style are kin to a good roadmap (or in this day and age a GPS)  So let’s jump in and define the elements of the Four Core Interior Design Styles: Traditional, Modern, Transitional and Eclectic

Traditional Design

If you are drawn to traditional interior design style, you love a beautiful antique piece of furniture, rich wood tones in your furnishings, floral fabrics, hand knotted oriental rugs, skirted sofas and chairs, fringes and tapes on your drapes, and symmetry in your arrangements. 

Key elements of traditional style:

  • Classic 18th and 19th century  English antiques 
  • Furnishings with strong European influences
  • Rich textured fabrics
  • Stripes, plaids, florals
  • Symmetry
  • Gilt , tassels
  • Skirts, rolled arms, highly carved furnishings
  • Wallpaper, layered collections

Modern Design

Loving clean lines, uncluttered interiors, the combination of stone, glass, and mixed metals, and a monochromatic color palette are characteristics of a Modernist – a lover of Modern interior design.  There are many modern elements that are classics – since modernism first appeared on the design scene as early as the 1920’s 

Elements of Modern Style:

  • Sleek, clean lines, basic shapes
  • Muted – neutral color palette as the base
  • Furniture and accessories are lower to ground
  • Stone, metal, glass
  • Uncluttered! Has a strong minimalist vibe
  • No skirts, track arms vs rolled arms
  • Leather, hides, bold graphic patterns

Transitional Design

The perfect blend of Modern and Traditional is the style that is described as Transitional.  Transitional balances sophisticated style with comfort to achieve a balanced interior, which effortlessly combines equal measures of Modern and Traditional elements.  Furnishings are comfortable but clean lined with stylish silhouettes, fabrics are rich but not overly ornate, like neutral velvets, mohairs, fresh linens.  An antique chest can share space with a modern abstract piece of art, and a classic hand knotted oushak rug.  No wonder that Transitional style is so popular – it reflects a more contemporary attitude of casual yet sophisticated interiors that are frequently warm and inviting.

Transitional Design Elements:

  • Seamlessly merges feminine/masculine, simple/sophisticated, sleek/curved or carved
  • Clean patterns, warm tones
  • Plush materials
  • Timeless, elegant and inviting
  • Track arms, mix of legs and skirt 
  • Mix of materials
  • Mix of art
  • Tone on tone or just pops of color

Eclectic

If you are into richly layered patterns and colors and the art of mixing seemingly disparate styles than you may be a fan of eclectic design.  Gallery walls, pattern on pattern textiles, a strong mix of furniture styles, and the use of statement objects are just a few of the characteristics that define an Eclectic styled room.

Eclectic Style:

  • Harmonization of seemingly disparate style, textures, and colors
  • Pair different design eras and genres – antique, farmhouse, modern, French, art deco
  • Don’t buy the set!!  Furniture and accessories need to look curated and not like a matching set
  • The look is controlled chaos – you can add in visual layers with lots of textures – without adding visual cacophony
  • Make it personal!!

Christina Scharf Design

The best part of understanding what elements define the Core Four design styles is that most of the popular design interiors you recognize today are a combination of these basic design styles.  I love to describe popular interior design styles like Bohemian,  Mid Century Modern, Modern Farmhouse, Modern Classic, Glamour

Some of today’s popular interior design mash ups:

  • Bohemian – a mix of eclectic and ethnic
  • Mid Century Modern – Mix of 50’s modern and  industrial 
  • Modern Farmhouse – Mix  modern, transitional, vintage and  industrial
  • Modern Classic or New Traditional –  Mixing the European influences of traditional design with classic modern elements (think Ralph Lauren!)
  • Hollywood Glamour – the perfect mix of eclectic and modern, bold uses of color with high contrast metals, glass and stone.

There are many more mash ups of interior design styles but once you master the basics you will better understand the design elements that best represent your personal style.  What could be better than to live in spaces that are well designed, beautiful and that perfectly reflect you! If you’re looking for an interior designer in Greenville, Atlanta, or Aiken – our team would love to help!

Back to Busy…

Custom Homes for Active Families 

 

The end of Summer and the first few weeks of Fall mean back to school, back to schedules and “back to busy” for many of us. While the re-establishment of routine is welcome, the loss of free-flowing, long summer days can feel overwhelming.  

In our most recent N Home publication we showcased two homes that were custom-built and designed with very busy families in mind. Let’s take a look into how seamlessly chaos can be formed into stylish function.  

 

Planned to Perfection

Design by: Susan Victor, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When you have two married surgeons, three young children and a cat, your life has to function like a well-oiled machine and your home needs to support that perfectly coordinated crew. When I was approached by this client to collaborate on the design of their new home, I quickly realized that how the space would function would be paramount to the overall success of this project. What you see following showcases a work-horse of a home that is the perfect example of the beauty of functional design. 

Great Room, Kitchen

The large great room needed to be sophisticated enough for entertaining and casual enough for the kids to lounge in after dinner. A pair of sectionals that face the fireplace allow for plenty of seating but their sleek mid-century styling makes the overall design sophisticated enough for entertaining.

Laundry Room

The laundry room incorporates a table to act as a desk or for a special school project or arts and crafts.

Mudroom

The mud room entry off of the garage boasts colorful character and organization for all of the paraphernalia that is needed for daily activities.

Custom built bunkbeds became the focal point of a boy’s room and made sharing a space as brothers into an adventure. 

Kid's Room

In an upstairs combination study and game room, we were able to find additional, creative space for beds hidden within the eaves of the roof line.  It  just required a little ingenuity and a great custom carpenter. What a great spot for sleepovers!

This project was filled with joy at every turn and I am proud to say the end result allowed every space the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the family.” Susan Victor

 

Nestled In Nature

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

When these clients set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in an established neighborhood but also find a strong connection to the serenity of nature. This project brought an exciting challenge to create a space that would evoke a sense of calm and a retreat from the busy lifestyle created by two engaged professionals and two active tweens. In the end, we were able to create something for everyone and find a place where a young family can enter, connect to nature and to each other. 

FoyerImmediately upon entry, you are stunned by the breathtaking views and openness of the main living space. 

Great Room, Lake View

The design of the open-concept living/dining space seamlessly connects to the terrace. This provides an ideal space for entertaining family and friends while maintaining an elegantly welcoming character complete with reclaimed beams, classically transitional furniture and comfortable upholstery.

Kitchen, Dining Room

Foyer, Tile Floor, Mudroom

An inset tile rug at the mudroom entry functions to define the space and capture the dirt and sand before transitioning to the wood floors.

The upstairs houses two fun-loving girls with inspired design styles. Each one had a vision to carry out for their private space and now can share it with friends or curl-up with a good book. In one of the rooms, we designed a custom-built pop-up style desk under the window for efficiency and functionality. 

“Successfully melding the personalities of a family and creating a functional home based on how they live is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a designer.” Sue Shannon

The Beauty of Design 

Can beautiful design be defined or is it truly in the eyes of the beholder? At Nandina we believe that beautiful design is a fine balance of the personal and the definable. Your home is inherently an extension of you – your desires, your family’s personality and values, your idea of style and beauty. Working with our clients to create spaces that reflect beautiful design is our passion.

When this couple set out to design their family home, they knew that they wanted to live in a neighborhood but have a space that connected them to them to the serenity of nature.

Design by: Sue Shannon, Nandina Interior Design in Aiken | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

The Beauty of Lifestyle Design 

Lifestyle design is based on the theory of intentionally crafting a way of life or a style of living. At Nandina we often base our design on the theory that we don’t design rooms, we help our clients create a lifestyle. A home that reflects and reinforces the life you live is a home based on beautiful lifestyle design. family living room, coiffured ceiling, performance fabrics, design with balance

Although the great room, kitchen and dining area are the epitome of sophisticated style, it is the heart of this family’s home. Performance fabrics, stain resistance carpets, and furniture that can handle daily use allow for comfort and the wear and tear of an active family with pets.

Design by: BethAnn Connor, Nandina Interior Design Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

The most surprising element of design in this project is the lounge room. This couple was not afraid to work with color, texture and modern elements; they wanted their home to be an expression of their personalities…welcoming, stylish, and fun!

Throughout the design, textiles and color were used to add warmth and character, providing a modern aesthetic that is richly layered and reflective of our client’s personality.

The Beauty of Functional Design 

A home is so much more than a beautiful showroom of perfectly placed furniture, rugs, art and accessories.  If well designed, every space within the home will serve the needs of those that dwell within it. A functional design addresses all areas of you and your families’ daily activities.  Great functional design is based on how you specifically want to live in a space. custom furniture, kid's playroom, functional storage

Capturing unused space under the eaves of the roof line is a perfect example of functional design. These custom-designed roll out beds work great for slumber parties or additional house guests for this active and social family.

To introduce a more urban vibe we chose to accessorize the space more asymmetrically. Replacing original large mirrors with a Currey and Company buffet and art provided a beautiful look with the added extra storage she needed.

When previous clients approached Lori to design their new condo in Newburyport, MA they had just moved from a beautiful home in Charleston’s Low Country. They wanted this new home in New England to reflect warmth and comfort with a nod to the design elements from the Charleston home they had grown to love.

Design by: Lori Marvel, Nandina Aiken | Photography by Glenn Livermore Photography

The Beauty of Creative Design 

Creative design is ingenious and innovative, original and visionary. As designers we work to create functional spaces that fit our client’s lifestyles but ultimately judging the success of the design will hinge on the creativity of the design. It may be the use of color or surface selections in an unusual ways, or bringing traditionally outdoor product inside, or using furniture in new and innovative ways. historical homes, modern interior design, Charleston, south carolina

What we loved so much about this project was the rich historical feel of the architecture juxtaposed with the creatively layered modern interiors. The owner has a unique sense of style that is reflected in each room by incorporating into the design something personal, cultivated and striking.  

Design by: Ashley Diggelmann, Nandina Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidtoriginal art, modern interiors, modern lighting

Art played a big role in defining the personality of the home – quirky, collected, colorful – each piece used throughout was purposely chosen and intentionally placed.

Design by: Ashley Diggelmann, Nandina Greenville | Photography by Shelly Schmidt

kitchen renovation, tile layout, gold, kitchen design, open concept

The backsplash tile, a beautiful marble mosaic with gold inlay, drove the design. The combination of a warm marble style counter top and the addition of natural wood in select areas creates a kitchen that is the best of both worlds…dressy and casual.

Living by the Water

For most of us over this past year home has become our haven, a safe harbor in a world that suddenly felt unsafe, a place where we retreated and revived, and thankfully found peace and comfort. We can find safety, joy and sanctuary in how our spaces interplay with nature, as in the majesty and stillness of mountains or the calm of a lake’s still waters.  

We are grateful to have been involved in several client projects that have created meaningful, joyful and calming homes by the water.

The aspect of how the water met the horizon brought the greatest sense of peace and inspiration for this project. When my clients discussed how they wanted the interiors to function and feel, their clear goal was to achieve a family home that would feel like a sanctuary, retreat and safe harbor of love for their extended family. – John Ishmael

The biggest challenge for this project was to design a home that would meld together their new surroundings with their previous belongings in order to make a comfortable, beautiful, warm and welcoming lakeside sanctuary. Every room gracefully mixes French and English antiques with casual rugs, comfortable neutral sofas and chairs, and a color palette that speaks to life on the lake. – Susan Victor Living by the Water

My clients desired to create a clean-lined modern beach house that could be a haven for their family and friends, but also have furnishings suitable for luxury rentals. The end result boasts a home filled with joyous touches, a fresh coastal vibe and an appreciation for those that spend time there. – Sue Shannon

The main criteria of this design revolved around the lake, which brings such joy to this family, and all of the main rooms open to a beautiful lake view. It has been my good fortune to work with this family, who live full-time on a lake, over several years to methodically create a home that reflects both their interests and personalities. – Michele Merritt Living by the Water

Garden Club Event at Nandina Home and Design in Greenville

In March, our Greenville interior design team hosted a ladies’ garden club in our newest showroom. Designers Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor developed an interactive project for the group that drew inspiration from florals.  

“We wanted to tie back to the nature of the organization and incorporate how florals can be an integral part of a design plan. BethAnn and I designed a mood board, in advance, with one red tulip as our inspiration; we then let the group break up into teams and compile their own cohesive designs plans around the floral of their choice. By offering rug samples, fabric and wall covering swatches and small accessories, each group was able to get first-hand experience in to what elements are involved when pulling a design plan together.”

MEET THE GREENVILLE DESIGNERS

Come in to meet our design team of Ashley Diggelmann and BethAnn Connor, both Upstate natives who have returned to Greenville to apply their ample, diverse experience to Greenville homes with excitement and renewed perspective. Nandina Home Greenville


Ashley Diggelmann, ALLIED ASID | Lead Designer

“Home is the framework of memories; a place where you relax, laugh and share stories. I draw inspiration for my work from people and how they live. The focus of designing spaces for my clients’ centers around making room for their lives. Whether a new build, styling, residential or commercial, collected or modern, the best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”

A native of the Upstate, Ashley received her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Anderson University. She comes to Nandina with eight years of experience from GDC Home in Charleston, SC. She has gained a vast amount of experience working on residential, hospitality and commercial projects and approaches each project with the desire to marry both beauty and function. Her extensive work with architects and contractors has brought vision to her work and her distinct style is a blend of whimsey and sophistication. She loves assisting clients with a wide range of challenges, including selecting architectural details and finishes, decorating a functional, beautiful space, and creating custom pieces tailor-made to expertly reflect clients’ personal taste and style.  Nandina Home

Greenville

BethAnn Connor, ALLIED ASID | Associate Designer  

“From a young age, I’ve been drawn to interior design because I love being able to design beautiful spaces that bring joy, comfort, and serenity. Your home is a reflection of you and each room in your home should showcase your passions and personality. As a designer, my goal is to seamlessly blend functionality, aesthetics, and personal style to create a home that tells the story of you and your family.”

BethAnn, a native to Greenville, began working with Nandina Home & Design in Aiken after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2015 with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. While with Nandina, BethAnn worked closely with one of the principal designers in Aiken on varying residential and commercial projects. After three and a half years, she moved to Dallas, TX to work for a large residential design firm, IBB Fine Furnishings, joining a team supporting a nationally recognized designer. While at IBB, BethAnn gained experience working on large-scale, luxury projects in a fast-paced, urban environment. She was able to grow her interior design expertise and explore new techniques with color, design, space, and textures. BethAnn strives to make designs beautiful, yet functional and loves incorporating color, antiques, and bold accents when designing spaces. In her free time, she enjoys going on walks, watching movies, yoga, and spending time with friends and family.
