As someone who is not only an installation sculpter, but who also does home renos and interior design as a large part of my income, the making of spaces intrigues and fascinates me. I love how the feeling of a space can change, just by adding color, light, or a new piece of art or furniture.
For me, the two biggest things that I love to add into, and see, in spaces, are natural light and texture. There's something just so magical about beautiful weathered wood, or a highly patterned moulding, roughed up carpets, shelves of books, or unpolished stone. I have hundreds and hundreds of reference images I keep in folders to be inspired by, but I figured I'd post a just few for you.
Although I don't normally label where I get my inspiration images, the majority of them come off of a lot of home design blogs that I follow. I was reading one of my favourite ones this evening, called A Fanciful Twist, a blog I've been reading for at least five years, which in turn inspired me to post some of my own favourite images here.
And on a very related note, a good friend of mine and amazing furniture designer Patrick Dussault launched his new website today. He makes stunning furniture out of repurposed wood and metal. Incredible pieces if you're into furniture that "gives new life to something that has been around for so long," as he aptly states.
