Greetings!
 Well, it's a hot one. No, not this summer, our July newsletter! This month's information includes an article that is all about YOU. I consistently tell my clients that their interior design starts with them. The following read will explain how we go about this. And how you can still be you throughout your home.See you again in August!JEIDesign, Inc. |

Put the U Back into YoUr Design
One of JEI's latest creations has inspired this edition of
our newsletter. JEIDesign was built
around the concept that your interior design is just a superficial fix if it
does not include the spirit of the client in its scheme. If there is one component that Julie will not
do without in any project, it's the individuality and personality of those whom
will enjoy it.
Whether the interior design strategy is modern or traditional,
rustic or downtown, it is imperative (to Julie and her team) that the project
reflect the essence of its inhabitants.
If you're considering giving your interiors a facelift, we recommend
first digging deep into that creative soul of yours for your inner "room."
And don't be shy!
Even if what is truly of value to you is Asian elephant ears and hot
pink tutus, they should be incorporated into your new space. If anyone can make this happen, while
maintaining style and flare, it's the right innovative Interior Designer.
This particular project lent itself beautifully to this
concept. The client purchased a home
built in the early 1900s to house the merging of three offices - a green energy company, a charitable
foundation and a "think tank" for alternative energy solutions. While it may seem an impossible feat to marry
each of these ventures into a cohesive interior interpretation, the team
developed a harmonious strategy, encompassing the heart of each occupant.
We began with the client, himself, whose surname in Sanskrit
translates to "new light". As you can
see in this photograph, the design crew made it a priority to incorporate
sunshine and light imagery and a thematic accent .
They were able to make the imagery clear but maintain the mood of the overall design strategy.
The team then decided, after ascertaining the essence of the
non-profit org that would dwell within, that the color scheme throughout would
be a palette of colors found in traditional Indian motifs, since the charitable
entity constructs and improves orphanages in India. A skeptical client watched carefully as it
all came together and agreed that the result was not just appropriate, but
beautiful.
Before the adorning even began, it was a manifest decision
to represent the green energy company's purpose with an overhaul of
environmentally friendly electrics, paints, furniture and energy-saving window
treatments. While implementing each of
these features into an older home presented more than a challenge or two,
decision to make it happen was a no-brainer.
Lastly (but, of course not leastly), as gorgeous and
efficient as our offices had become, it was still essential emphasize, in the
design throughout, a clean and productive atmosphere for our think-tankers, as
well as accessibility and fluidity to facilitate the energetic minds within. This was established with clean lines and
graceful furniture placement.
So, from these examples, you can see that your avenues for
individuality in your interior design are virtually limitless. You just need the appropriate application of
your own personal style and likes. With the right guidance (or just a little bit
of luck if you're the gambling kind), you can have it all- your sophisticated
cake and your idiosyncratic icing... all in the same space! Abandon suppressing your abandon and let YOU
out into your home.
