What an interior designer does with color and texture

I know of one interior designer that captures colors and textures like no other. She draws much of her inspiration from nature, from the colors, textures and patterns of the surrounding landscape.

Here’s just one example. Look at the striking colors of the curtains in the one picture and compare it to the colors and fabrics worn by the Indian women. Can you see hints of India? Do you notice the ethnic touches that the colors and fabrics of India bring to this interior? The typical vivid reds, purples and fuchsias of another land, Thailand, mixed with other bold colors can also breathe vitality and brilliance into any interior.

In the next photo, you’ll see that the room invites the view outside the window inside the room through its décor. The turquoise wall reminds a person of the sky outside, and the apple-green splash of cushions and duvet brings in the natural green from the trees outside. Solitary yet bright flowers in vases accentuate the bold floral pattern of the curtains.
