when i think of interior design, i think about the architectural aspects of a room. what can you do to accentuate the elelments, what can you add architecturally to the space to make it dramatically memorable? lighting, finishes..... and furniture is just the cherry on top.
in this space, they have accentuated a simple architectural feature, the doors to a room. and look at how wonderfully dramatic this can be!

the grand ceilings and architecture of the entry is rellished here with a formal wallcovering. it shows off the ceiling and highlights the trim mouldings.

I was just at a baby shower this past weekend, held in the home of one of my professors at TCU. Gale VanAckeren. She's a wonderful person. The hallway to her study was a skinny, white box with floor to ceiling windows on the outside wall. So the space felt very light and airy. She had accented the ceiling by painting it a pale blue color, which was just lovely. She didn't take away from the windows, but instead included a way to direct your eye down the path you were traveling. Small ways to make a statment. Small ways to highlight the architecture. Love it.
