from GLASS to MARBLE The rich and lavish textures found in the most exclusive homes can be easily

added to your decor. Textures create visual interest, break up a monotonous color scheme, and spruce up interiors. Utilizing the dramatic power of marble, a creative tile pattern, or modern glass features are just a few ways to enhance your home environment— and your life.

11 • IMAGINE

Evoke a Feeling When deciding on textures to use in your space, think foremost about the feelings that you would like the room to evoke— is this space serving as a sanctuary, a place for relaxation and contemplation? Think in organic, harmonious textures such as stone tile or smooth acrylic. Will this space serve to fuel creativity and excitement?

Bright and reflective elements like glass, especially in furniture or chandeliers, as well as glossy metals or marble help add light and drama.

Go Monochrome If you want the textures in your room to shine, try paring back all other elements to really allow the unique depth and characteristics of textural interest to carry the interior direction. We love monochromatic rooms as a great way to experiment with this technique, especially all-white bathrooms or kitchens where alternating tile and backsplash patterns or the unique irregularities of marble can subtly give the whole space a new dimension.

Less Can Be More At the end of the day, your home is meant to be a perfect balance of your chosen style. A home that is too cluttered with disparate elements can cause distraction or even anxiety, so the tried and true motto of “less is more” also applies to texture. Stick to a singular theme and only choose patterns that add qualitatively to your space, building upon a blank canvas of neutrals in order to make your statement pieces stand out that much more.

Built-ins come in all shapes and sizes, a feature that is engrained into their very nature. A good built-in is molded to its home with expert craftsmanship and architectural eye, so that it seamlessly occupies a given space—or even disappears in it— while still performing an important function.

The most common built-ins come in the form of storage: shelving and cabinetry are the unsung heroes of the kitchen or living area, keeping each room tidy and organized while offering easy access to tucked-away items. Built-in storage with an aesthetic purpose as well as a functional one is also indispensable— Whether finished in a rich wood stain or a modern glossy acrylic, these elegant works of craftsmanship are the secret to a truly elevated living and entertaining space.

Built-ins can also take more creative yet functional forms. Built-in seating has become popular in homes with predesigned dining areas or breakfast nooks, where built-in wrap-around benches blend effortlessly with the room itself and offer a slim, attractive alternative to chairs or free-standing benches. Another advantage to these seating options is their ability to also double as storage: built-in bench seating can easily house a set of drawers, cabinets, or trunk space underneath for ultra-discreet and space-saving storage.

NATURAL

ELEGANCE 24 • IMAGINE

Frank Lloyd Wright, the famed 20th century architect who is responsible for some of America's most iconic homes, once said: "Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.

It will never fail you." More than just idle words, this adage represents a broader truth about the relationship between the natural world and the home. A luxury abode is never truly in harmony with the world around it, unless it embraces nature as an integral part of its elegance.

Today we look at properties that have achieved perfect concert with the natural world and how they got there.

Many home designers choose to embrace nature in a literal sense: populating the very front of the home with decoratively-pruned shrubberies can add dimension and character to its facade, while seasonal or perennial blooms that are chosen for their complimentary colors are always an eye-catching touch. For a more dramatic marriage of architecture and nature, some even embrace non-destructive climbing vines that gently envelop the home in greenery.

For properties without access to a front yard, or homes that are designed to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor lifestyles, a porch or terrace can act as an elegant gateway to the natural world. Sun rooms are an excellent choice for those who desire protection from the elements while still enjoying the outdoors, while terraces are perfect for adding small touches of greenery in the form of mini gardens, potted plants, climbing vine walls,

There are a few reasons one might entrust an artisan to create a custom item for the home. Perhaps you are revamping your living room and need a bespoke couch that fits just right in the layout of your space? Or has an artwork already caught your eye, but it’s not quite the right size to fit above your mantel, the artist may be able to create something similar in your perfect dimensions. If you’re looking for something unique and special, but not quite sure where to start, read on for our guide on commissioning a custom piece.

REASONS FOR A COMMISSION: There are a few reasons you might consider investing in a commissioned piece from an artist or studio. Perhaps you're in the process of redesigning your room and are looking for a piece to match a certain design style or color

exactly what you need - be it a specific style, color, or size.

MARK MARKARIAN

For example, you might already have had your eye on a particular piece of art but it has already been purchased at the gallery or on that artist’s website.

Commissioning a piece gives you the chance to work with the artist on a piece that’s similar to the one sold.

Maybe you already have an heirloom dining table and need a set of chairs that pair well. Similarly, you could take this opportunity to have a sentimental family portrait turned into a custom painting. Or perhaps you just like the idea of having a one-of-a-kind piece that was made especially for you!

PROCESS FOR COMMISSIONING A CUSTOM PIECE Once you’ve decided to go ahead with a commission, you’ll work with the artist/gallery to create a commission agreement.

This often includes: • Pricing details • Total cost and payment terms • Overall timeline • Details about the artwork - subject matter, composition, style, color, size, etc.

The site claims to be the world’s leading online art gallery, and with a curated collection consisting of over 1.4 million original works from nearly 100,000 emerging artists representing more than 110 countries, it’s hard to argue with them. Their massive selection can be intimidating, which is why Saatchi employs Art Advisors who can help you find that perfect piece.

It’s a great place to discover a new artist to be “your” artist.

The Jaunt The concept is simple: send an artist on a trip to find inspiration. There is no agenda or a briefing for the artist during their trip. The artist makes their own plans to meet with other people, visit museums, go on hikes, study neoclassical architecture or whatever else comes across their path. While the artist is on the road, they document their impressions in a travel blog which gives even more insight into the artist’s perspective. After the artist returns home from their trip, the artist channels all of the impressions into an artwork that is reproduced as a limited edition and handmade, silkscreen print. It’s a unique travel document in the form of an artwork. Before the trip takes places, they give their audience to chance to pre-order the silkscreen print before it is made. You know which artist is going where, but not yet what the artwork looks like. This allows you to contribute to making the inspiration possible, while experiencing the creative process from
