5 degrees of inspiration…pt. 3
Interview with interior designer Krissy…
Is there someone or something (architect, piece of art work, painter) who/that inspires your creativity?
I find inspiration everywhere; from architects, artists, chefs – pretty much anybody who is truly passionate about what they do. You can certainly tell when a chef has poured his heart into a dish or a craftsman his soul into a piece of furniture. Truly good design requires heart and passion.
What are your favorite elements/colors to use in a design proposal and what elements/colors do you think are necessary to make a successful proposal?
I believe that successful design must be truly personal. Therefore, the most important elements and colors that I incorporate into any design are taken from the client’s personal collection: a favorite piece of art, a family photograph, a beloved collection of any sort, an artifact acquired on a meaningful vacation, etc. All of these can inspire the design of a space; from the colors to the fabrics, to create a desired mood and allow the personality and character of the clients to shine through.
