5 HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN DEFINITIONS: LUXE MAGAZINE

I sometimes forget how lucky we are as interior designers in Miami. Not only is our city in the middle of a creative high end interior design boom…but South Florida is also home to one of our industry’s most important publications.

If you follow interior design, then I don’t have to tell you what Luxe Interiors + Design is. The publication features the most comprehensive collection of luxury homes and high end interior design work out there today.

We are truly fortunate that Luxe Director Susan Perville has taken the time today to take part in our “5 Definitions”series where we ask experts in the interior design world to give their own definitions of 5 important concepts.

5 DEFINITIONS BY LUXE INTERIORS + DESIGN’S SUSAN PREVILLE

Luxury

An abundance of sumptuous finishes and textures on the furnishings, appointments, textiles and all surfaces in general with-in the environment… then highlighted and accented with romantic lighting to elicit a luxurious experience.

Lifestyle

People’s lifestyles are relative to their desires in combination with their daily tasks…everything revolves around their necessary and essential functions and their forms of enjoyment. Each person’s lifestyle reflects their state of mind as well as their sense of style.

Beauty

Beauty is also completely relative to each person’s sense of imagination relating to form and color…influenced by what you perceive as compelling as it relates to beauty…influenced by what your perceived as comforting and inspirational as a child as well.

Taste

Taste is a sense of style that each person develops as they grow…it reflects each person’s sense of themselves…an aesthetic quality that is applied to whatever you create for yourself and others.

Quality Interior Design

When answering each of the above questions the final key thought is that everything that is designed is relative to each person’s sense of “Luxury”, ”Lifestyle”, “Beauty”, and “Taste”…so with each client is a new and innovative creative experience.

When a design installation is completed all parties involved should feel a sense of satisfaction because “ quality interior design” encompass all of the above.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST IMPORTANT HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN DECISIONS

In this episode of DesignTV With Steven G., I teach you how to make the kinds of decisions that will make all the difference between whether your home has a truly high end interior design look or one that just doesn’t hit the mark.

THE 5 BEST EPISODES OF DESIGNTV WITH STEVEN G.

One of the most popular features on our blog is our DesignTV With Steven G. video series where I make a fool out of myself for the greater purpose of teaching you a thing or two about high end interior design.

It was hard for me to pick which of these are my favorites (maybe because I love the sound of my own voice so much), but after much consideration…here are my top 5 picks.

If you’re new to the series, this is a great place to start. If you’ve been a fan for awhile, here’s a great place to relive the memories.

1. The Art of Mel Bochner

These days Art Basel is not just an event attended by artists and art fans; all the Miami interior designers are there too. It’s a pleasure to be able to find some of the world’s best art right in our backyard. Here’s where I talk about my love for my most recent find, artist Mel Bochner.

2. Steven G. Talks Furniture and Gets Comfortable

OUR FAVORITE HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN BLOGGERS TALK WALLPAPER AND MORE

Whenever Quintessence’s Stacey Bewkes and Susanna Salk release one of their videos, I have to share it. It’s not the first time I’ve blogged about these two lovely and talented ladies and it won’t be the last.

Pay particular attention to the :23 point, where Susanna talks about how some high end interior designers have made especially creative use of wallpaper.

A BRAND NEW TAKE ON THE DONALD STERLING SCANDAL

You know we’re big basketball fans over here (we love our Miami Heat). So of course, the recent scandal with L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling has generated a lot of talk around our showroom.

Yesterday our good friend Grant Cardone blogged about his take on the scandal, and as usual, it was unlike anything we’ve seen said about it yet.

Even though it’s not about high end interior design or Miami interior designers, we wanted to bring you Grant’s words because they go far beyond basketball. In fact, they’re meaningful for whatever choices your make in your life.

WHAT IS AFFORDABLE LUXURY?

We love our hometown of Miami, but let’s face it…it can cost some serious money to live here well. That’s why Miami interior designers aren’t known for doing things on the cheap. Fortunately, there are a quite a few ways to get that look Miami interior design is known for without totally breaking the bank. That’s what I talk about on today’s episode of DesignTV With Steven G.

MIAMI INTERIOR DESIGN MAKES THE NATIONAL NEWS

As Miami interior designers, we’re always happy when our city gets some press. So imagine how thrilled we are that The Daily Beast, one of the Web’s biggest publications, covered the beautiful building that is the Icon Brickell.

A NEW HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN TALENT TO KEEP AN EYE ON

Whenever I come across remarkably high quality interior design, I like to share it with everyone I know. And for those of you who have been reading for a while, you know that my philosophy on the best high end interior designers is that they are able to draw out what’s in someone’s heart and soul and turn it into the perfect environment for them.

That’s what high end interior designer Sasha Bikoff recently did for her client, an Iranian ballet star. This 25-year old talent used color, pop culture reference, and furniture choices to reflect the energy and creativity of the artist she worked for. That’s why she’s going to be a high end interior design talent to keep an eye on!

5 HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN DEFINITIONS WITH AUDIO ONE’S DAVID FRANGIONI

I’m not easily impressed, but when it comes to Audio One’s David Frangioni, I am constantly blown away.

As a one time amateur drummer in Queens, I remember it being tough to get a gig in someone’s living room. David, on the other hand, was playing full-time in clubs around New England by the age of 17 and already experimenting with electronic drums. From there, he became a world renowned expert in audio technology, whose amazing list of credits with rock legends is too long to list here (Aerosmith, Ozzy….well, just click here to read his whole story).

These days he lives in Miami, and he’s the go-to guy for top Miami interior designers (and far beyond) who want their clients to have the world’s most state-of-the-art sound systems in their homes. We love working with him and I’m thrilled to be able to call him a friend.

So naturally we asked him to participate in our “5 Definitions” series where we ask leaders in the world surrounding high end interior design to give their personal definitions of some concepts that makes the best home designs happen.

Let’s listen.

What’s your definition of…?

Luxury
Luxury is enjoying the best of the best in all aspects of life. Home(s), Cars, Jewelry, Service, restaurants, Hotels, etc.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle is the level at which you can enjoy luxury. The more luxury, the better the lifestyle. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth over-doing.
Beauty
It truly is in the eye of the beholder. Sleek lines, statuesque physique, clean appearance is beautiful to me.
Taste
There’s great and there is everything else. Those with taste, know what’s great. Frank Sinatra, Elvis, the Beatles. Italian cars. The list goes on.
Quality Interior Design
Quality interior design makes the most of a given space, bringing to life an area that otherwise is un (or less) inspiring. The design of home is the pulse of one’s every day life so it needs to capture the essence of the home owner and go beyond. Of course, high-end technology makes it even better.
