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!

A shared therapy and Zoom space for the couple, the office retained its original built-in cabinetry, now painted in a silver-blue tone to harmonize with the home’s lightened palette. Recessed lighting and pale finishes help counteract the home’s former darkness, establishing a fresh and functional workspace.

Mountain View, CA This busy Silicon Valley family wanted a grown-up reading room, a soothing retreat from hectic schedules and everyday clutter. Our clients' collection of global textiles, inspired the color scheme of varied blues, while comfortable seating and good lighting make it a functional place to get lost in a book. Note: custom framing of an embroidered jacket from China, and making pillows out of appliqued rectangles from Central America, make this room a uniquely personal space.

Pink color as a harmonious part of the design: useful tips With the help of pink and its shades you can drastically change the space. Pink color in the interior will fill the atmosphere with positive emotions, freshness and elegance. Pink color: meaning According to psychologists, this color means femininity and maturity. Usually people who prefer everything pink, friendly, easily find a common language with those around them. But, according to some, the shade is inherent only frivolous and windy personalities. Designers claim that light shades tell about the lightness and femininity of the hostess, but darker ones - about passion and at the same time disinterestedness and kindness. In medicine, too, there is a color designation. There is such a thing as “color therapy”, so pink rooms help to recover from serious illnesses and stressful states. It activates the process of cell regeneration, has a positive effect on mood and fills with energy.
