Our Love for Interior Design

Watch: Our Love for Design

When it comes down to it, it’s all about our clients. Design is about so much more than aesthetics. We love getting to know our clients and using our years of experience to take what we’ve learned and create spaces that are everything our clients dreamed of (and more). Plus, who doesn’t love being surrounded by pretty things?

The Pulp Edit August

The Pulp Edit: August 2017

We are loving so many things this August, it was hard to narrow down our favorites to just ten. These ten interior design trends have us jumping for joy at all to nods to design with a flair for the unexpected.

Contrast Marble

The high contrast of this marble selection is dramatic, bold and all around glamourous. Using the same material on multiple surfaces gives the room an audacious yet cohesive feel. A simply stunning bath photographed by Simon Upton.

This design for Gervasoni’s recent campaign has us eyeing much more than the sofa. The dynamic flooring is a definite center of interest and makes this minimalistic and coastal room feel hip and modern.

Contemporary Flair on Classic Pieces

Classic pieces serve as great inspiration for contemporary creativity. The integration of Boticelli’s Venus on this vibrant wall piece is sure to be a conversation starter in this hip German restaurant. Photographed by Eric Laignal in Interior Design’s July 2017 issue, we always love seeing a good unexpected twist.

The texture on this wall covering by Winfield Thybony is unprecedented. The beaded pattern and deep warm tones would give a space an instantly elevated feel by adding texture and interest. The moment we saw (and felt!) this wallcovering, we were dreaming up ways we could use it in projects.

Our Seattle team recently visited the Yayoi Kusama Infinity Mirror exhibit, which has all our eyes on reflective walls. We love a moody, dark wall– the lacquer finish in this opulent dining room is nothing if not daring. We’re all about this trend, photographed by Eric Piasecki.

We love giving our projects an artisan flair wherever possible. This wallcovering by Jim Thompson was designed to resemble bamboo, but looks painted giving it a personal, artistic touch. The colors and uncomplicated sophistication of the design make it a beautiful selection for a number of design schemes.

A little gold and flair in a wallcovering? Yes, please. The Batik line by Innovations is the definition of a chic-yet-hip must-have. We love the little touches of gold within the soft-yet-statement color scheme.

Home Library

We love designing rooms that you won’t find in every home. We’ve shared our guides to wellness and listening rooms, but we are loving this home library that would be any book-lover’s favorite retreat.

Alexander Wang’s NYC apartment is a neutral dream. Featured in the September 2017 issue of Architectural Digest and photographed by Anthony Cotsifas, the prolific fashion designers home is layered with understated neutrals and funky furnishings. We love this subdued color concept brought to life by brilliant art selections and whimsical furniture.

You cannot go wrong with a Kelly Wearstler fabric. Our entire design team has been loving this Sora Velvet design for its luxurious feel and cool blues. We think this would make for some pretty amazing pieces of custom furniture…

We draw inspiration everywhere and love seeing such fearless design. Which trend are you loving this month?

Interior Trend — Leather Surfaces

We’re still savoring these last few weeks of summer, but are starting to design a new season of projects for our interior design clients, which has us crazy about spaces that exude luxury and warmth. We love incorporating leather into our interior design projects whenever possible– it’s a go-to when designing sophisticated and opulent spaces. It’s no secret that leather is great for upholstery, but we’re all about designing with a flair for the unexpected at Pulp. That means using classic materials in  innovative and hip ways– from backsplashes to wall murals, the limit does not exist. See a few of our favorite leather wall and floor tiles and wallcoverings…

Pulp Design Studios Children's Room

Must-Have Timeless Children’s Furnishings

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again– we love when our interior design clients are ready to transform their spaces and don’t wait until their children are grown to do it. Investing in design can seem daunting, especially to those with children who are bound to out-grow everything from their socks to their beds. However, one of the best parts of investing in your home is ending with a that perfect space every one will drool over, full of expertly selected pieces that will last over time. That means children’s pieces that can be transformed and kept even as the kids change.

Our design team rounded up their favorite timeless children’s furnishings…

BETH’S PICK
Co-Founder + Principal Interior Designer

“I love this ottoman because it’t both fun and functional. It has a hint of whimsy, which is great for any kid’s space, but is also designed with shoe storage inside. I can see it fitting perfectly in a girl’s room, toddler to teen.”

CAROLINA’S PICK

“What I love most about this desk is it’s ability to suit both feminine and masculine spaces. The dark color and gold accents set a luxurious tone without making it feel too mature. It’s sophisticated, but trendy.”

TRACY’S PICK
Senior Interior Designer + Purchasing Manger

“This nightstand is youthful, can be used in a variety of design schemes and is sophisticated enough to grow with the child. I especially love the smart features, like the built-in night light and self-closing drawers. Thoughtful design is a must in kid’s spaces!”

TARA’S PICK
Interior Designer

“This dresser is modern and chic, but can easily be made into a changing station for a baby’s room. The color palette and functionality make it the perfect selection to stay with a child as they grow.”

SHANNON’S PICK
Junior Interior Designer

“One of the most important things to look for when selecting children’s furniture to last over time is function– will the piece continue to function as the child grows? This vanity chair is the perfect amount of feminine and young, but features a hidden storage compartment. It’s all about function!”

JANA’S PICK
Junior Interior Designer 

“I think this side table would make a great addition to a modern nursery, but could also be used in a children’s room across all ages. It’s hip and modern, but is neutral enough to have a young flair.”
