✤ Q & A ✤
What made you choose Casa Branca for these spaces?
Casa Branca's prints have a distinctive flair. Also, the colors are always just right!
Where do you draw your inspiration from?
Travel is my main inspiration! Especially Paris— I find so much inspiration, from architectural details, color combinations, to fashion moments and French interiors. I also find Instagram incredibly inspiring. I love to follow different creatives and designers.
What is your go-to hostess gift for holiday entertaining?
The Moda Domus nesting raffia bowls are one of my favorite gifts. They are the perfect mix of casual elegance - everyone loves them!
What is your signature fall cocktail or meal?
What's more festive than champagne? A flute of Veuve is my go-to cocktail around the holidays.
Favorite scent for the home?
Tips for designing with color and pattern?
I may be known for my use of color, but I actually use it in a more subtle way. I like to use it as the last layer and as an accent. When you have a more neutral foundation, you can really add in complimentary color in a strategic and elevated way and still with an impact. For pattern, I feel the same: it can tie the room together as a last layer.
Favorite Casa Branca fabric, wallpaper, or item. :)
I love Casa Branca's Palampore in the Salmon & Roman colorway. It is so subtle, the perfect design and completely livable - a print with staying power!
