Slipcovers – Changing with the Seasons

Design Log

11 Apr
Slipcovers

Decorating a room is an exciting endeavor, and if done beautifully and wisely, should last generations. Although today’s disposable society may seem to favor trendiness over timelessness, we are staunch believers that well-designed rooms have classic qualities that transcend mere fashion and ensure many years of comfortable, stylish living.

That’s not to say a little injection of seasonal décor is out of place. The easiest way to keep a room from going stale is with slipcovers. They not only extend the life of upholstery, but also wake up one’s eyes and give a room a fresh lease on life.

This sofa is normally covered in a lovely rust and ivory linen print, perfect for fall and winter. As soon as spring comes, however, it gets a new look with a crisp pale green linen cover. Both looks work well in the room even though they are very different, and both reflect the seasons in which they are used. If your upholstery works, but you feel the need for an occasional visual break, consider investing in slipcovers. They can provide practicality and a welcome change of scenery.

To add a touch of drama to a NYC loft, we designed To add a touch of drama to a NYC loft, we designed a folding screen inset with antiqued mirror as a backdrop for a stunning Buddha figure.  Set atop an architectural fragment we repurposed as a console and flanked by gorgeous Klismos chairs, it’s a study in serenity and beautiful forms.  📸 by @artgrayphoto  #whitewebbinteriors #interiordesign #nycloft #foldingscreen #nycinteriors

Dog people, cat people and bird people are a breed Dog people, cat people and bird people are a breed among themselves. Matthew recalls the memories of past lives of his beloved dogs from childhood onward, through old photos and other meaningful objects. Not that he needs reminding of their existence or their love. The exhibition catalog of “designers and their dogs” titled BARK, with photos by @andrewfrenchphotographer was produced by @samanthanester

Repost from @modern.architect. It’s AI, but who’s Repost from @modern.architect.  It’s AI, but who’s up for making it real?  We love the melding of old and new in this visionary seaside design by @matitectura.
Three of these clocks have been in Matthew’s colle Three of these clocks have been in Matthew’s collection for more than twenty years, all have stories. The rooster clock is carved wood, possibly Italian, or perhaps Scandinavian? The most recent addition and most simple in design holds layered meaning that is deeply felt. This English clock from the 1930s gets wound every Sunday and keeps excellent time, each quarter hour heralded by resonate chimes. Matthew loves old clocks so much he wrote a book on the topic! @abbevillepress #antiqueclocks #clocks #clockchimes
