Crafting Authentic Spaces: The JBI Approach
At JoAnna Baum Interiors, our design philosophy is a reflection of our authentic self. We believe that the foundation of any great interior lies in its functionality. Every space we create starts with a meticulous consideration of how it will be used. Once we ensure that the design maximizes functionality, we then focus on marrying this practicality with aesthetic beauty. Our roadmap to achieving this perfect blend includes a few key principles that guide every project we undertake.
As a leading interior design firm based in Elmhurst, IL, and servicing the Chicagoland area and nationwide, we are committed to creating stunning and functional spaces that exceed our clients' expectations.
1. Every Detail and Surface Addressed
In our design process, no detail is too small. From the choice of paint colors to the type of hardware on cabinets, every element is carefully selected to enhance the overall look and feel of the space. Surfaces are not just about utility; they are canvases that contribute to the story of the room. We pay close attention to textures, finishes, and the interplay of different materials to create a harmonious and visually appealing environment.
Examples:
Kitchen Design: Selecting a unique backsplash that complements the countertops and cabinetry, adding depth and personality to the space.
Living Room: Choosing fabrics for upholstery that not only look good but feel good, ensuring comfort as well as style.
2. Something Vintage and Something Natural
Incorporating vintage pieces and natural elements into our designs adds character and warmth to any space. Vintage items bring a sense of history and uniqueness, while natural elements like wood, stone, and plants create a connection to the outdoors and add a calming influence.
Examples:
Vintage Furniture: A refurbished antique dresser that serves as a statement piece in a modern bedroom.
Natural Elements: Using reclaimed wood for shelving or incorporating a living plant wall to bring a touch of nature indoors.
3. Original Artwork and Pattern Play
Art and patterns are integral to our design aesthetic. Original artwork infuses spaces with individuality and creativity, while patterns add visual interest and dynamism. We love to play with patterns in textiles, wallpapers, and tiles, balancing bold designs with more subdued elements to create a cohesive look.
Examples:
Artwork: Curating a gallery wall with a mix of paintings, prints, and photographs that tell a story.
Pattern Play: Mixing patterned throw pillows with a solid-colored sofa to create a lively yet balanced living room setup. Scale is always key here.
4. Subtle Textures Mixed with Beautiful Color Stories
Texture and color are essential tools in our design arsenal. We blend subtle textures to add depth and dimension, and we craft beautiful color stories that evoke the desired mood and atmosphere. The interplay of textures and colors creates a layered and inviting space.
Examples:
Textural Elements: Incorporating a mix of fabrics like velvet, linen, and wool in a bedroom to create a cozy and inviting feel.
Color Stories: Developing a color palette that moves seamlessly from room to room, ensuring a harmonious flow throughout the home.
At JoAnna Baum Interiors, our goal is to create spaces that are not only beautiful but also deeply personal and functional. By addressing every detail and surface, incorporating vintage and natural elements, celebrating original artwork and pattern play, and blending textures with color stories, we ensure that every project is a true reflection of our clients' tastes and lifestyles.
