Art Inspiration at The Neustadt Collection →

As an Interior Design I find inspiration everywhere I go. Today I am sharing a very near and dear place to me, The Neustadt Collection.

In the image above, I am standing in front of Tiffany Jewels at The Neustadt Collection in Queens, NY. These colorful jewels are from the Tiffany Studios when the firm closed in the 1930’s. The Neustadt is a near and dear place for me. My great great grandfather, Louis Comfort Tiffany, has always invoked such a special inspiration for me and visiting The Neustadt Collection brings it all to life.

I will be visiting The Neustadt this coming week and will be inspired once again!

Inspiration Objects

Beginning a room's design with a piece of art or object you love is a great source of inspiration. I've found that many clients have a treasured piece they want to be sure to include. As a designer I try to take inspiration from those special pieces. Finding fabrics or furniture that falls in line with what they already like is a sure win.

In this room, the client owned an antique Suzani and a pair of antique Argentinean chairs that she wanted to incorporate into the home.  We used a local upholsterer to center the design on the seat and back of the chairs. We made a contrast welt choosing one of the colors from the Suzani.

Here the client owned a piece of art from a local denver artist, Duke Beardsley . http://www.dukebeardsleystudio.com/  We included darker piece of furniture to balance the art work and move ones eye around the room.
