On why police captains becomeexcellent designers, why to change windows to doors and how to make an industrial interior cozy, read in our material today Each designer has his own ways to understand the needs of customers. Kristina Wolf does this with the persistence of a professional investigator. For example, the designer interviewed the spouses Lenora and Mark Rice separately and even gave each of them homework, which had to be done without the participation of the spouse.
The thing is that Christina Wolf's first job was at a police station. In her current work, she constantly uses the techniques of a police captain and finds them more than useful.
But let's get back to Lenore and Mark Rice.The owner tried to decorate her new home herself, but, having reached a dead end, she was forced to turn to a professional. A retired police captain quickly passed judgment on the interior, and it sounded rather offensive: a complete lack of soul. It was this soul that was to be settled in the Rice family nest.
After a little research it turned out thatThe spouses have radically different ideas about beauty and home comfort. Then the idea of a separate survey of customers appeared, the result of which was a very small list of common preferences, on the basis of which the designer developed the interior design.
The foundation of the interior was neutralpalette, stone, metal and rough wood. The couple was surprised to discover that they both liked the industrial style and even wanted to develop this direction as much as possible. In order not to turn the house into a gloomy warehouse, the designer suggested focusing on softer lines of furniture and eliminating several windows - Christina Wolf suggested replacing them with French doors. As a result, they managed to let in not only sunlight, but also the outside space. The presence of a pool and palm trees allowed the designer to add several bright accents, thanks to which the neutral gray palette played in a completely new way.
Our opinion In this interior Christina Wolfmanaged to embody the aspirations of its customers and was able to create a homely warm and stylish space on a fairly rigid, industrial platform. The thing is that the designer very skillfully complemented the gray-brown palette, abundance of metal and rough wood with soft textiles, bright details and sunlight. Note that the color scheme, despite the pronounced neutrality, is very warm, soft lines prevail in the leather furniture, and the finishing is completely done in a classic key. Together, all these barely noticeable details create a relaxing atmosphere that one cannot call factory-made. kristinawolfdesign.com
