Clutches for Less

Celebrities are undeniable fashion and style icons, and this spills over into interior design as well. In actual fact, a survey was recently done by the Better Home Exhibition that revealed celebrities were among the top sources of inspiration for people updating their own homes. In reality of course, most celebrities employ professional designers to consult on the hottest trends and rarely do the work themselves.

An interior designer to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars has told one newspaper that people wanting to create an impressive room can structure their design around a centerpiece, such as a piece of white  bedroom furniture. Usually this is quite a large piece such as big white wardrobes, and it can afford to be as it is a neutral colour. If you did the same with a red or green centre piece for example, it would dictate the colour scheme of the rest of the room.

Kelly Wearstler told the Daily Mail that a big, bold centrepiece can provide inspiration and ideas for the rest of a room’s design, such as the bedside table or curtain design, and said that she loves the use of white and black to create contrast.More designers are waking up the potential of using the contrasts of black and white in multiple rooms and in New York it is one of the cities hottest looks right now.

She told the newspaper: “I love black and white as it feels a little edgy and it works in any type of design. It’s the textures and materials that make it interesting.” She added that rooms suffering from a lack of depth can really be enhanced by clean and sharp colours.

The last point from Wearstler was that a room can often become “confused” when it is over-designed and keeping the colour clean prevents this happening. “It’s not a simple thing to get right, but if you’re strict with the colors you use, you can pull off a very sleek look”.
