Inspiration... David JimenezTuesday, June 24, 2008

Every month our blog will feature a designer who is creating beautiful interiors which we hope will serve as inspiration to you.

This month we'd like to introduce David Jimenez, a US designer and author whose work has been widely published in numerous books, magazines and newspapers. Like many successful designers David has applied his creativity to a broad range of fields; from retail design and merchandising, event design and of course interiors. He has kindly written a few words for us on his approach to interior design, colours, and his use of textiles:

"I enjoy working with a neutral color palette because it creates an environment that feels immediately warm, comfortable and inviting. Additionally, it makes it easy to create a visual thread throughout a home when you use neutral colors. In order to keep the rooms fresh and interesting, I use contrasting textures (from velvet to leather), incorporate geometric patterns and use black accents in the way of lamp shades, artwork, rugs and furnishings that add strong contrast and create a look that is classic and elegant."

DJimenez/Logan

The image above is an example of his work, alongside we have included some colour swatches of our linen Logan as an example of his gorgeous colour palette.

I highly recommend that you check out his beautiful website. His interiors have a refined, timeless quality but also possess a fresh, contemporary edge; something we try to create with our own collections here at Unique.
