The one thing every space in your home (both inside and out) has in common is a need for lighting. Whether for function, style, mood or any combination of the three, lighting is one of the most important elements of a room.  Whether it's task lighting or general lighting it's all a necessity, especially going into the fall and winter months.  At JAC Interiors, we love layering different types of lighting to strike just the right balance for practically any...

When it comes to interior design color trends, neutral colors are still paving the way for all things chic, but there are a few wild cards in the mix. The main idea is to add texture and pattern for that extra punch, but there are some horses of a different color making their way up to the finish line. You already know that white, gray, and beige fall into neutral territory. However according to a  "My Domaine" survey of interior designers,...

If runway fashion has taught us anything (think fanny packs and moon boots) it's that most fads make a comeback.  And it's not just fashion, but interior design too. In fact they often go hand in hand. One could definitely make a case for same era fashion and interior designs hitting the marketplace at roughly the same time, the second time round -  like mini skirts and 70's inspired wallpaper, some things just go together naturally.  We adore these blasts...

As high end residential designers for almost 10 years now, JAC has seen the Great Room trend keep going and going. In fact, open floor plan ideas are here to stay, it's just the way we live now. It's modern and functional and aspirational because it allows for maximum space flow and communication of its occupants. It just makes sense in this busy world and allows us to connect visually in one big space versus just through our devices. For us,...

Hooray- maximalist decorating ideas are back! Call it a backlash against minimal Scandinavian design, we don't know but we are celebrating anyway! After the wave of minimalist design,  maybe people realized their homes should feel more personal…and less like the lobby of their dermatologist’s office. If this style feels a little out of your comfort zone, know this: Maximalism isn’t about splashing mismatched patterns, and knick knacks around for the sake of it. Not at all! So when it comes to maximalism vs....

At JAC, we are huge fans of wallpaper and its ability to transform a space more powerfully than paint. It really can set a mood, and add loads of visual interest and even texture. And if you consider the ceiling the fifth wall, then it begins to make sense that you may want to add some kind of fun detail to almost any space but on the ceiling. There are a few caveats though. Wallpaper on the ceiling looks best architecturally...

What are decorating trends for 2019? JAC is loving the Boucle design trend happening right now. And although this fabric has been around for ages, it's definitely having a moment in the spotlight right now. Both a yarn and fabric, bouclé is made from three single strands of a knobby, curly yarn with a loopy texture. Typically used in finely tailored women’s suits, the fabric is now produced in unique color-ways and includes metallic and cashmere threads and when...

I don't know about you but as soon as I feel a little crispness in the air I start to think about cozying up to the fire and the holidays to come.

At JAC we think a lot can be done without a major remodel, just little tweaks to hit the refresh button in your personal space. Just as...

But even if you live nowhere near the shore, you can still make your home feel like a breezy retreat and with summer interior design trend colors and textures.

  At JAC, as interior designers in Los Angles, we realize that rattan is making a huge comeback as an interior design trend of 2019 and although that is not really breaking news, it is a reminder that texture, especially through natural materials like rattan, wicker and wovens is an essential part of making a room feel interesting and layered. I think a lot of people associate wicker with old lady outdoor patio furniture and rattan with boho/California style only....

While we may not be walking around in bell-bottoms and platform shoes, when it comes to interiors The Seventies are back and better than ever. The 70's was a time for rock 'n' roll, bold color shaggy textures, and letting your hair down. Rules were there to be broken; clashing wallpapers dominated, and seventies interior design is sneaking right back in where it came from, albeit in a more refined and toned-down way. As a child of the 70's, I have a...

At this time of year we love the 'no white after labor day rule', we don't really know the origin of no-white after labor day but that doesn't stop us from ignoring it!  Particularly this year when decorating with black is as hot as a sidewalk in the noon day sun. Suddenly everywhere we look, black is making a bigger debut than the Kardashian exploits!  It's no doubt that black invigorates a room or space with its grand aptitude for...

There's a real manhattan style decor movement going on right now that mirrors some of the other trends in food and travel and fashion. It combines vintage and classic pieces that have patina with modern lighting and found objects to remind us of our gentler, slower past. This look is super curated, full of texture and warmth and seems to be straight out of New York City, a very New York inspired interior design.  There's a  worn grit to it...

 At JAC Interiors we know that the right lighting fixture type is everything! Additions of accent lights to interior spaces using a low power lighting source is an effective means of creating visual interest. As you probably know, LED lights have a longer lifespan, as compared to traditional lighting methods. When you couple this with the fact that they are also perfect for installing in hard-to-reach places, it makes them ideal for placement in areas to highlight artistic features or...

Last year the Washington Post ran an article about millennial home decor and indoor plant ideas with the headline, “Millennials are filling their homes – and the void in their hearts – with houseplants.” It was an apt (if not slightly depressing) assessment of a generation of people who consider themselves highly independent (even if they’re too often calling mom and dad for a handout). Like man’s other best friend, the dog, houseplants are living creatures and as with the knowing...

Monochromatic interior design is having a moment and this strikingly simplistic approach to color is addictive for so many reasons. The drama created with a super simple color palette can be magical and dynamic and calming all at once.  If you think about it, monochrome tones are restful, timeless and super practical.  By restricting your color palette, you can freely experiment with mixing pieces from different eras, add patterns and layer-in texture.  As in the picture above, any number of...

Open kitchen shelving has been trendy for a while now and has loads going for it. Curating your shelves is a very modern kitchen decor trend that can certainly make your kitchen seem bigger by losing the full cabinets and just floating some of your shelves. You can also add a layer of personality to your shelves, displaying your particular brand of pretty plate ware or mugs-- but be careful to NOT over do it.  You don't want mis-matched mugs...
