The Shade Store Window Treatments
“When I meet with a new client, they are super excited to move right in and want to see what can get done ASAP! One of the first necessities, as far as I’m concerned, is window treatments. The Shade Store is my quick go-to, as they do custom fabrics and have their own arsenal of fabrics to suit all styles. They are reliable and can get a job done fast. And if anything is wrong, they’ll remake and install just as quickly.” —Amy Kalikow, Amy Kalikow Design, New York City
Phillip Jeffries Grasscloth Wall Coverings
“I love Phillip Jeffries’s grasscloth wall coverings because they’re super sophisticated, timeless, and durable, and they work with virtually any style and room setting, from foyers to living rooms and powder rooms to bedrooms. They’re the perfect neutral backdrop solution and add a layer of interest to any room. Also, Phillip Jeffries is a family business and offers excellent service and customer support.” —Kathie Chrisicos, Chrisicos Interiors, Boston
Modern Farmhouse Brick by Clé
“We find ourselves reaching for Clé’s Modern Farmhouse brick again and again. It’s a simple glazed brick tile that comes in some really lovely and versatile colors. It’s got a handmade appearance and looks much more expensive than it actually is.” —Heidi Lachapelle, Heidi Lachapelle Interiors, Portland, Maine
Paint
JH Wall Limewash Paints
“This year, in addition to more color, clients are requesting a textural moment on their walls. Limewash paints from JH Wall can be layered in the application and have a bloom to the surface texture. They lend a chalkiness to the finish, which gives an ethereal softness. You can also add depth by building colors on top of one another. JH Wall Paints has always been a go-to for my projects, and last year I had the incredible opportunity to design a collection of three textured paint colors that reflect my design aesthetic and my love for nature, most notably the great outdoors of Southern California.” —Summer Jensen, Hawk & Co., Laguna Beach, California
