 Lessons Learned From a Luxury Home Interior Designer

When it is cold and dreary outside, nothing is as cheerful and mood uplifting as fresh flowers.  This simple trick is something that took me a while to learn.  I am not a big flower person when it comes to gifts.  When we were dating I told my husband (then boyfriend, duh) that I thought flowers were a waste of money.  Mostly because they can get expensive and they die.

Recently, I received two sets of flowers as gifts.  One a potted plant and another a fresh arrangement of cut flowers.  It was amazing how alive our space felt.  My husband even commented, I think we need flowers in our house every day!   I think you can accomplish the feeling in many ways throughout your home, and wanted to show you a few examples.

The Space

In rooms such as a kitchen or bathrooms, there are a lot of cold surfaces and straight lines.  Some small leaves and flowers from a garden can go far to add color and liven up a space.  Plus, how nice is it to smell something fresh when washing your hands in a guest bathroom?

Flowers and fresh fruit are what add color and life to this beautiful contemporary kitchen.

This bedroom looks like a hotel with its luxe linens and dramatic draperies.  I could curl up in it right now!

The Designer

When I was in earning my bachelors degree in interior design we had to complete an internship on our semester off in order to graduate with work experience.  I was able to work with and learn from Mary Wilson, owner and principle designer at Nielson-Wilson Design – a Denver-based luxury interior design firm.  I have never seen the intricate detailed interiors in real life such as the homes that she designs.  The attention to detail is comparable to nothing I have seen in my life. All of the images in this post are from Mary’s Row House project that is the most beautiful thing I have ever been in.

Hey, I’m Brooke!

I am a mom to 4 boys in Calgary, Alberta.  I love learning how things are made, singing to the radio loudly, and can’t stop talking. Fueled by diet coke and chaos, I can often be found working on a project.  You can hang out here for craft ideas and tips, games and activities to do with kids, plus FREE svg files and printables.
