One thing does lead to another . . Phillip Gorrivan. Fan for years. I have cut, filed, pinned and mentally noted elements of his designs that I love - great ideas, color combination and unique, unexpected elements. He and his design team collaborate to design spaces that reflect a client's personal style, while keeping it very tailored and sophisticated, and showcasing the home's architectural charm. He clearly interjects a little whimsy keeping his spaces fresh and fun. He believes "understanding a client's lifestyle, should drive the design." I love his work.
These photos have been in my "inspiration file" for a while. I have taken note of some of the elements but more importantly his unique and perfect choice of color and scale. All these rooms are a perfect balance of cohesiveness and the unexpected.
Take a look at my past notes of inspiration from these spaces.
"Note to self . . . trim color in high gloss, love the graphic tile floor (should do a graphic black and white pattern on the front stoop at the office), oh look, the tree wall paper I used in Freeman's house !"
"Note to self . . . is that Francois-Xavier Lalanne sheep?! I love those . . . (did a post about it here back in 2012). That one elements take this room from serious to light.. remember that when using a serious damask type wall paper ! The scale of the art is perfect, and the color choices from room to room are strong yet clean. Love the graphic mix with the organic touches."
"Note to self . . . gotta use a bubble chair somewhere, love the lines of this bar."
"Note to self . . . when can I do black walls ?! Wish someone were game"
"Note to self . . . bunks - need I say more"
"Note to self . . . . I want a grey lacquer ceiling, love the touch of pink."
"Note to self . . eclectic perfection. Love the art and built in."
"Note to self . . . just the right amount of "beach" in the beach house."
"Note to self . . . perfectly styled bookcases"
"Note to self . . . love the banquet / dining table situation there . . . makes a great game table when not in use or remove table for more lounge space. I want a real fiddle fig - hate fake trees !"
"Note to self . . . great color combination - his window fabric makes the room . . must use this fabric sometime !!"
And speaking of fabric . . . We at Lucy and Company carry his fabric line (a collaboration with Highland Court) and I have often used them in my projects . . take a look at my favorites pulled from all our books at the showroom. Call for an appointment and I've give you a close up look . . .
I thank you Philip Gorrivan for inspiring me over the years.
