Get inspired!
If you’re ready to make some changes in your home or you’ve moving into a new space and you need some inspiration, these tips will help you get started on your design journey.
5 places to find design inspiration…
1. Track down photos of your favorite hotel or spa. What did you love about it? What made it unique and special? Look for the details that made a difference, including color, texture and finishes.
2. Think of a destination you’ve always longed to visit. Paris? Bali? Marrakesh? Seek out imagery from those places. Maybe you can use wrought iron sconces. Or incorporate tropical woods and golden-orange textiles. You could even lavish the floor with a tile mosaic.
3. Shop your closet or the latest designer clothing collections. What colors do you like to wear? Is your style classic or bohemian chic? A favorite belt could inspire trim work. A tweed jacket could sway you towards a terrific tile color.
4. Visit a museum and take notes on what you see. Or pick up an art book at your local bookstore (you might even have a few on your coffee table) and browse through the pages until inspiration hits you.
5. The great outdoors can be an easy and ever-changing source of inspiration. From the color of fall leaves to the first blooms of spring, to various terrains and waterways, mother nature provides plenty of ideas that translate to the bath perfectly.
New art exhibit featuring Yasuko Fujioka and Stephen Cimini
Vastu is pleased to welcome artists Yasuko Fujioka and Stephen Cimini. Stop by between now and early June to see their amazing work.
Yasuko’s collaboration with patterns, employment of materials and my personal letters are her life story…expressions of observations and fascination with the beauty and sorrow of daily life. They are a refined connection to the universality of her essential inner sentiments. These connections are her purest and most honest relation to the world.
