Opposites Attract! Interior Designer Deborah Wecselman Share Tips....

This Dramatic, Dazzling Bedroom

Caught My Eye

When Opening Up Emails:

Whenever I see something bold and daring, I like to share it.

  

Why? Well, because I think so many of us simply find it easier to keep it the same, to keep it safe. There is certainly less risk to go with what has previously worked, and with what you've always liked. And, you know what? There's nothing wrong with that!! (I confess doing it myself.)

But, probably  -- and rather subconsciously, many of us secretly wonder how it might look to punch up things with a bright sunny yellow. Or, how about laying down a large graphic black and white stripe rug . . . ?

And what about dangling lights and even zebra prints paired with lavender?!

So, along comes someone like Deborah, who shows us what it looks like. And how we might step it up.  And what it feels like to bedazzle:

Deborah obviously lives boldly -- and with gusto!

She says about patterned prints: "When working with two hues that are polar opposites (an extreme cool and an extreme warm), be sure to incorporate patterns that create harmony and complement each hue.  The black and white striped rug (in the first image above) effortlessly brings the opposites together."

Deborah is known for her unorthodox approach in interior design.  Her new ideas: pairing two extremes and utilizing each extreme to work with (not against) the other.

Deborah Wecselman was born in Lima, Peru, and began her formal training as design associate in the store development department at Polo Ralph Lauren.  She quickly rose to Senior Director of International Store Design, where she was responsible for the creation of more than 5,000 international shops and stores. Her Web site; go here.

In 2000, Deborah established DWD Inc. to provide clients with interior and architectural design of the highest quality. DWD Inc. is a small firm that allows Deborah and her staff to  be their best and be most available to their clients.

Do you see a take-away idea from Deborah's looks? 

I personally like the inspiration found in her pattern mixes!
