inspired interiors

Hello! Lauren from de[luxe] design studio here with a bit of advice meant to jumpstart the design inspiration for your unique abode. Often times I have people ask me, "What's my interior design style?"... and honestly, the best way to answer this is to have a look inside your very own closet! Interior design, after all, is heavily inspired by fashion.....  

A true fashionista, Ally isn't afraid of mixing colors, prints, materials, etc... This is apparent in her personal wardrobe and throughout the alexa collection. The following designs (inspired by Ally's style and jewelry) showcase the idea of bringing your own personality to life without over thinking what should go into the interior design process.

If you love, love, love color and can't decide on what to incorporate into your space, consider mixing in a few different colors - in the same tone (jewel tones shown above) - via accents & accessories with neutral walls & flooring.

Many people focus on avoiding brown + black or black + navy. I am here to tell you, fret this "faux pas" no longer! The above living room effortlessly incorporates black and navy by balancing the dark drapery panels and sofa with lighter patterns and a bright, yet neutral, wall color.

It's all about gold and silver. An inherent trait of the alexa collection, mixing gold and silver creates a timeless and chic setting. As you can see from the above example, both metals compliment one another beautifully. 


Moral of the story: Don't over think what colors, patterns, or materials look good together. Instead focus on the overall balance and proportion of what goes into a room. By following this advice, you will without a doubt be able to create a unique space that reflects what is most important.... you
