How about a design challenge while we're locked in our interiors?

We get a lot of requests from residential and commercial clients for a "cozy" design. Cozy is subjective, it's based entirely on personal associations. How would you describe your idea of "cozy" in three words or less?

Just out from Villa Nova, Fabrics and Wallcoverings! The soothing painterly brushstrokes of this large scale mural wallcovering are like visual poetry for your walls.

ASID, NCIDQ, NMLID. Ever wonder what all those acronyms mean? We'll tackle them one at a time...

ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) is a professional membership organization for the interior design industry. ASID offers various levels of membership corresponding to a designer's education, experience and qualification level. If you see ASID after a designers name, it means they have met the highest level of membership.

We recently learned about a traditional Japanese fabric dye called Kakishibu, made from fermented persimmon juice. It has completely transformed how we think about persimmons!

Fall observations: Subtle change in the air, and light quality and duration moves us to change how we use our spaces. Have you migrated into another room or corner of the room for fall? Photo: @WendyMcEahernPhotography

It's music to our ears when we hear a client say, "We aren't afraid of color. And we love any color that's a French word!"
Greige, Vermilion, Aubergine... anyone?

A new hospitality concept underway...
We love developing our clients' brands through their interiors. Every detail is designed to tell their unique story.

A little extra 'help' with a furniture plan is always appreciated.

It's like Christmas in September! We love receiving these beautiful care packages from our vendors with samplings of their latest and greatest offerings.

Sending some love to our NM restaurant and bar clients as they begin to open up their interior dining areas this weekend. Let's fill all (25%) of their seats!

Two Pairs Intersecting Each Other

Watch artist Will Clift installing his commissioned sculpture "Two Pairs Intersecting Each Other" in one of our residential projects. The components stay in place through balance. @geraldpetersgallery @willclift

Given all the correct responses to our recent “most requested color” post, we obviously have some very perceptive followers out there. So time for another!...

Which color have we always hoped to receive a request to use in an interior, but never have yet?

We found the perfect place to curl up with your sweetie and daydream about future vacation getaways during these dog days of Summer!

Hygge the HVLI way! Reindeer Moss in an array of colors can help to soften and add acoustical properties to your home or office. This natural product is handpicked from the forests and mountains of Northern Scandinavia and we are quite smitten with it! @nordgrona

We had a huge revelation this week. There’s one color, of all the colors you can imagine, that is most requested by our female clients. Can you guess what it is? wait for it….

We're loving this clever light fixture, Click Light, introduced by @AquaCreations. It's a wall mounted metal & oak shelf with illuminated woven ropes. The ropes and the shelf are connected by magnets to create a circuit. Eureka!

Making it Look Easy

Making it look easy. When multitasking means perfectly leveling a floor while talking on the phone. We always love watching the process and are grateful to work with so many talented craftspeople and artisans!

Need some instant gratification? Here's a sneak peek of the installation of our patterned tile design for the reception area at the new Rustica Fresh Italian Kitchen. Our color palette is inspired by our favorite regional Italian dishes and gelatos. Hungry yet? We're already working up an appetite! Coming soon to Santa Fe's Southside, we're not quite ready, but soon!
And a special thanks to our partners @RusticaSantaFe, KrupnickStudioArchitecture, John G. Rehders General Contractor, Inc., Coronado Paint and Decorating, and Statements In Tile / Lighting / Kitchens / Flooring.

Beautifully 'buttered' tile going in at Rustica, a new Italian restaurant coming soon to Santa Fe. The Ranch House KrupnickStudioArchitecture Statements In Tile / Lighting / Kitchens / Flooring #liveyourstory

It's a wonderful thing when you go back to a project (10+) years later as a guest and it still looks and feels really good! Hotel Parq Central

I was born a fabricator/artist, never saw that I had a choice in that. It was my mother who realized it first - I owe my creative existence to her. She pulled me out of traditional schooling and found me apprenticeships with amazing artists, and to this I’m eternally grateful. Curiosity is first and foremost the engine that drives me. The vast space of forms and ideas that I do not know of motivates my process of discovery. I work hard to incorporate this curiosity into my studio and art. I believe and hope that by making objects that exist outside the box will entice the world around me and the people who live with these objects to think outside the norm and make their lives extraordinary. - Artist
