Have a taste of the tantalizing twenties.

What with The Great Gatsby coming out in December and the allure of the more glamorous times of the past, it’s no wonder that 1920’s-inspired fashion, jewelry, and interior design is on the upswing.  I know I have an ardent longing for the fabulous parties and unapologetic wealth of the roaring twenties. The 1920’s and […]

Take a tango with tangerine!

Is a neutral palette too tame for your taste? Then you will love the new 2012 Pantone Color of the Year, 17-143 TCX. And although you may think “Hey! 2012 is almost over; I don’t want an outdated color in my home!”,we at DOTI encourage you to think again – this cheery orange hue isn’t […]

Decor fit for the fairest in the land.

Mirror, mirror on the wall – who’s the fairest of them all? You, of course! Mirrors are a great way to add depth and interest to a space. They come in all shapes and sizes: round, square, arched, even squiggly (the mirror on the right kind of looks like Elvis, how cute!). Whether you have […]

Do you dig the modern flair?

     This week, DOTI wanted to work on creating an elegant interior that both you, as well as your husband, can enjoy. For a relaxing, modern living area, we love this Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman in brown leather, for they are as classic as they are comfortable.  This console table is a perfect companion […]

And the litmus test says…neutral.

Gray, beige, white, cream – you know these colors well.

For example, in the […]

BOLD florals always make a BOLD statement wherever they pop up.  Rugs, fabrics, even fashion are full of “flowers on steroids” cropping (ba dum psh) up in the markets and on the runway. I personally love bold florals and can’t wait to use them in my own home in any way I can – they […]

Come in and stay awhile.

Designs Of The Interior (DOTI) has a wide network of vendors and retailers for any type of home décor that you can imagine, making it easy for you to create your desired look. For example, we were drawn to this interior because of its warmth and visual complexity. We love the tribal rug that anchors […]

Up, up, and away.

Charged with the task of creating a modern airplane-themed child’s bedroom, Designs Of The Interior (DOTI) had to hunt down sleek, silver, high-gloss accessories – preferably airplane themed – to complete the fun tangerine and aqua space that we helped design to the client’s wishes. This was no easy feat, considering that most airplane-themed furnishings […]

We all scream for accent screens!

Looking for an easy way to spice up a plain wall? How about for a quick fix to visually divide a too-large space? Decorative screens are a beautiful and unique solution to both of these problems. The interior to the left is a great example of how a moveable accent screen can add that last […]
