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.”

The Impact of Art

Three words: get the art. No space is complete without thoughtfully selected pieces– new or old, big or small, art makes a huge impact on any space. While art isn’t a do or die the way furniture is, it does make or break good design. It’s the perfect way to express personality, add luxury and make a space feel complete. Get. The. Art.
