Sherri Blum | Jack and Jill Interiors, Inc.Children’s waiting room interior design project at Princeton University. I was beyond thrilled when contacted by a team of scientists ( psychologists and neurologists ) at Princeton University. This group of professors and graduate students from the Turk-Brown Laboratory are conducting research on the infant’s brain by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (or fMRI), to see how they learn, remember and think. My job was to turn a tiny 7’x10′ windowless study room into an inviting but not too “clinical” waiting room for the mothers or fathers and siblings of the babies being studied.
We needed to ensure a comfortable place for parents to rock and feed their babies while waiting their turn to go back to the laboratory, as well as a place to change the babies if needed. We wanted to stock some shelves with good books and while the room looks complete, we’re still sourcing something interactive to mount to the wall to help entertain toddlers who want something more active than reading or building blocks.
Since there are no windows, I wanted to bring the outdoors inside. Princeton University‘s colors are orange, gray and black and the history behind those colors is very interesting. It seems there are a lot of squirrels on campus and these colors were selected for the three colors of squirrels often seem scampering around the university grounds. The orange squirrels are now extinct, but the gray and black squirrels are abundant, as I found when touring the campus with my son on installation day. Therefore we wanted to reflect this history in the room and decided to paint silhouettes of squirrels in these three colors throughout the room.
While the ceilings are 10′ high in this tiny room, they’re very drab and boring. Given that it’s a drop ceiling, we can’t paint it a fun color as I typically do in my nurseries and kids’ rooms. To distract from the ugly ceiling, I contacted My Custom Creation through their Etsy shop and commissioned them to create a custom butterfly mobile to suspend from the ceiling to create a swath of butterflies moving across the room. Their customer service was impeccable and the end product was exactly what we wanted!
The flooring in the space was simply coated concrete so I decided to use Flor carpet tiles to give it warmth and a grass-like appeal. These tiles are super easy to install and can easily be removed without any residual on the floor. I’ll be using them more often for sure!

Flourish Interiors by Vanessa C SmithStep into the primary suite of my beloved home, The French Chateau. Designing bedrooms is always a very personal endeavor, and designing our own bedroom was no exception. The space must serve as a sanctuary, providing solace at the end of each day, while also uplifting and inspiring us each morning. However, the task always becomes more complex when we are designing a primary suite for two individuals who may not always share the same vision or aesthetic preferences; my husband and I are no different.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In crafting this space, I desired a room that would bring a smile to our faces whether we were entering or leaving. It needed to encompass beauty that resonated with my love for French, feminine design while also providing comfort for my husband, who has a preference for a richer, more masculine palette.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The design of this primary suite revolves around neutral colors, with a touch of blue—a hue that both of us appreciate—as an accent color. The indulgence of luxurious linens eagerly welcomes us, creating an anticipation for rest after long and bustling days. Throughout the room, you'll notice various cherished family photos adorning our dressers, capturing precious memories. Additionally, a captivating original painting graces a sidewall, showcasing our favorite place, the Jardin des Tuileries at the Louvre in Paris. These personal touches imbue the space with a profound sense of home, rejuvenating our souls and infusing the atmosphere with a unique warmth.

Flourish Interiors by Vanessa C SmithA current interior design trend is the use of floor-to-ceiling color saturation, where paint colors envelop an entire space. When designing the primary en-suite bathroom for my personal residence, "The French Chateau," I wanted to explore this trend. Selecting Sherwin Williams' "Sleepy Blue" as the paint color, we adorned the bathroom from base to crown, creating a spa-like ambiance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I embarked on the journey of selecting art and accentuating the space, I found it challenging to source art that would infuse the ideal color scheme and fit the space perfectly. I decided that commissioning a custom piece would be the best solution. Eventually I realized that I, myself, was the ideal artist. Being an art major in college and passionate about all forms of creativity, the notion of crafting such an intimate piece for a personal space felt right.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I began painting this piece, drawing inspiration from my own story. The artwork encompasses multiple layers, mirroring the chapters of my journey. The initial layer exudes sweetness and simplicity, reflecting the innocence of childhood. Subsequent layers illustrate warm and joyful tones, symbolizing adolescence and falling in love. As the story unfolds, layers of hurt and pain emerge, portraying challenging times, lost friendships, infertility, the closure of my cherished boutique in 2016, and other profound moments in my life. Each stroke captures both gentleness and intensity, blending seamlessly or resonating with emotional fervor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Finally, I adorned the painting with gold leaf, not only adding beauty but also symbolizing my own refinement through the fires of life. Every time I step into my bathroom, I am greeted by my own creation, which serves as a reminder of the beauty, both sweet and painful, that weaves through my story. It fills me with anticipation for the future too.
My Bali LivingIncorporating organic-shaped lighting into monochrome interior design is a transformative strategy that adds depth, character, and warmth to spaces that might otherwise feel flat or overly structured.
Monochrome interiors, often defined by their clean lines and uniform tones, can sometimes feel too stark or clinical. Organic-shaped lighting, like the sculptural woven pendants in the coastal kitchen you provided, introduces visual softness and fluidity, gently breaking up the monotony without disrupting the minimalist color story.
Lighting with irregular, nature-inspired forms becomes an instant conversation piece. In a monochromatic setting, where variation is subtle, organic lighting stands out as a focal element, guiding the eye and adding architectural intrigue without the need for bold color contrasts.
Monochrome designs rely heavily on texture to evoke emotion and interest. Organic lighting—especially when crafted from natural materials like rattan, wicker, or woven fibers—adds a tactile dimension that contrasts beautifully with sleek countertops, smooth cabinetry, and polished finishes.
Designers aiming to create serene, grounding environments can use organic lighting to subtly reference the outdoors. The flowing, shell-like shapes in the image evoke the natural rhythm of the sea—perfectly complementing the ocean view. This connection to nature fosters a calming, biophilic effect within even the most curated, color-restricted spaces.
Beyond aesthetics, organic-shaped fixtures often diffuse light in a more gentle, ambient manner due to their irregular forms and natural materials. This soft lighting effect supports the calm, cohesive tone of a monochrome interior while making the space feel more inviting and livable.
For designers striving to balance form, function, and feeling within a limited color range, organic lighting is a powerful tool. It’s not just decorative—it’s atmospheric, sculptural, and emotionally resonant. In short, it’s the poetic contrast every monochrome room needs.

Claremont Rug CompanyThe regal yet comfortable aesthetic of these two generously scaled antique Persian Serapi carpets forms the essential foundation for this expansive, high-ceilinged living and dining spaces of this contemporary, open-plan home. The time-softened patina and naturally-derived colors find resonance with every part of the space, from the rich leather upholstery and hardwoods to the fieldstone hearth. The animated, spontaneous design makes this vacuous space seem intimate and invites the eye to linger comfortably as it discovers new individual flourishes in the design.

Main Line Kitchen DesignMain Line Kitchen Design is a unique business model! We are a group of skilled Kitchen Designers each with many years of experience planning kitchens around the Delaware Valley. And we are cabinet dealers for 8 nationally distributed cabinet lines much like traditional showrooms.
We believe that since a web site like Houzz.com has over half a million kitchen photos, any advantage to going to a full kitchen showroom with full kitchen displays has been lost. Almost no customer today will ever get to see a display kitchen in their door style and finish because there are just too many possibilities. And the design of each kitchen is unique anyway. Our design process allows us to spend more time working on our customer’s designs. This is what we enjoy most about our business and it is what makes the difference between an average and a great kitchen design. Among the kitchen cabinet lines we design with and sell are Jim Bishop, 6 Square, Fabuwood, Brighton, and Wellsford Fine Custom Cabinetry.

Bella Dura Architectural StoneThis Urban Contemporary style is a perfect example that demonstrates how the inclusion of classic architectural elements and materials will achieve a modern sophisticated yet timeless setting. Rather than smooth, painted, or stamped concrete, the natural stone paving and pool coping resonates an energy of life only achieved by quarried natural stone. Our Macedonia Limestone has both a cool and warm color range so it works well in many settings. The lightness of color keep the surface cooler in direct sun so it is friendly to the touch.
The Tuscan Column is also produced from our Macedonia Limestone. In this contemporary setting the simplicity of this Tuscan style Column breaks the monotony of the minimalist straight line architectural style and brings a cylindrical shape from our natural world into this design.
All in all, the combination of classic and contemporary is well achieved. It is pleasing to the eye and spirit of this project.

Sarah Barnard Design LLCThe primary bedroom color scheme combines Gardenia walls with deep black-green trim to create a nature-inspired retreat that connects with the serene surrounding environment. The dusty rose tones of the linen bedding, cotton blanket, and wool curtains draw from flowers in the lush garden outside, such as the California Wildrose, to create a cozy, inviting environment that resonates with the warmth of wood furniture throughout the room. The grey upholstered bed and floor rug made from wool and jute help ground this colorful bedroom palette within soft, earthy tones. A cloud-like glass light fixture fills the room with soft, diffused lighting, and a pair of pink Roly Poly chairs can be seen in the garden through the glass sliding doors, creating a playful color connection between the inside and outside.
