Transferware

Designer Jackye Lanham is known for her luxurious interiors that combine both color and comfort.  She believes that a successful design not only includes collections, but has layers of details that encompass a room.  Wallpaper, drapes, furniture and finally accessories are all layers which if carefully chosen and edited can make a grand impact and a bold statement.  Lanham suggests to start with a color palette.  I always suggest to include a color which you adore the most and work around that color using the color wheel.  Fabrics should flow from one room to another and objects should be interesting.   Lanham is known for her extravagance so it is no wonder that she suggests collecting silver, pottery and porcelain which all reflect the light and are brilliant all on their own.   Think about layering in collections which have exquisite ornate appeal such as transferware, tortoiseshell, walnut burl, and ebony.  Consider limestone flooring and detailed marble counter tops that pull the eye to the detail of the natural beauty.  Tantalizing textures such as gold and silver in vases, frames, or cutlery can go a long way to adding in the splendor of the room.  (Read More.....)
