Decor can become more meaningful in our 30s and beyond. “Perhaps it's an antique from a relative or photographs from your favorite vacations,” Watts says. “In your 30s, you feel yourself choosing items that spark good memories and feelings versus utilitarian things that serve a basic purpose.”

Thank you Better Homes & Gardens and Colleen Sullivan, for including us in 25 Designer-Approved Ideas for Modernizing a Gallery Wall
Mix Art with Metals - Mixing materials is one way to achieve a modern effect when it comes to a gallery wall. “I love to hang whimsical metal sculptures alongside colorful abstract paintings to create balance and structure. The result is a fun-filled wall that feels fresh and purposeful,” says Nadia Watts, the owner of Nadia Watts Interior Design.

In a Denver abode’s spacious gathering space—which encompasses dining room, library, living room, and sitting area—designer Nadia Watts relies on her client’s vast art collection to create a cohesive dialogue between the adjoining interiors. “These special pieces have moved with them over the years to multiple homes and the placement of the art was planned during the drawing phase,” says the local designer. For instance, the exact dimensions of the wall behind the dining table were determined to accommodate the Bob Knox painting that hangs there. Beyond it, an inherited painting is framed by books to create “a wonderful library presence,” adds Watts. “The scale of the art, the color, and the textures of the furnishings create a compelling environment in which you want to sit and stay for a while.”

'When I think summer I think in reds, yellows, pinks, and oranges,' says interior designer Nadia Watts. 'Bright, saturated colors that remind me of the sunset over the lake; warm tones that evoke long summer days.'
For Nadia, summer color inspiration comes from the slower pace of life during these months, turning to nature and reflecting this indoors through vibrant, warm hues that feel uplifting.
'July brings a sense of freedom: school's out, work slows and family comes together. I am inspired by the slower pace of summer, it reminds me to take a moment to step back and appreciate the natural world around us. Pulling colors from nature has always been a special source for me, and what better time to do that than in the height of summer.'

'Celestial and metallic colors are in for summer,' observes interior designer Nadia Watts. 'Using metallics and striking colors is a great way to add dimensions and excitement to your space without having to redesign your entire space.'
'When you incorporate bold color, you can use it sparingly and still get a big “wow” factor. Already have a blue color story? Add a pop of metallic cobalt. Starting with a green scheme? Bring in a celestial citrine.'
'Layering color on color in different finishes creates depth and interest and elevates your color story throughout.'
From rich jewel tones to neutrals, these colors add a sense of luxury to home decor.
Color plays a hugely important role in setting the mood and tone of a room. Indeed, the right color choices can set you on your way to mastering a sense of luxury, no matter what decorating style you favor.

We are excited to join in this year’s Luncheon by Design 2024 at the Denver Art Museum on 5/9, [which] explores the integration of design and nature, in celebration of the [now open] exhibition Biophilia: Nature Reimagined.
Organized by Darrin Alfred, Curator of Architecture and Design, Biophilia provides a space for leading architects, artists, and designers to re-examine and reanimate our intrinsic bond with the natural world.
This Thursday’s Luncheon by Design is an inspired presentation with the acclaimed architect Jeanne Gang, founding partner of international architecture and urban design practice Studio Gang. Gang will share an array of compelling projects around the world—and now in Denver—that underscore how she uses design to strengthen connections between people, communities, and nature.

What a wild and wonderful ride it has been! Designing The Lively Loggia and Jeweled Gallery at the Kips Bay 2024 Designer Showhouse in West Palm Beach, FL, was an exhilarating experience. Collaborating with The Shade Store, we created custom drapes using my Kravet Gem Collection Fabric, infusing the space with vibrant colors and luxurious textures.

Last week’s event at the Kravet showroom (Denver), hosted by The Shade Store, provided a fantastic opportunity to connect with the Denver design community and share the behind-the-scenes stories of our showhouse journey. I'm grateful to Kravet and The Shade Store for their amazing sponsorship, which made this project possible.
If you missed the discussion, not to worry! You can still take a virtual tour of the showhouse here, and check out this article, which features The Jeweled Gallery and offers inspiring design insights from the show.
Thank you to everyone who supported and followed along with our Kips Bay adventure. Stay tuned for more exciting projects to come!
