All good quality design must adhere to and meet the criteria established for the six principles of design. These principles are: Scale, Proportion, Balance, Rhythm, Emphasis and Harmony.
But to be truly great and memorable, design must also provoke an emotional response. How many times have you entered a room and felt a sense of calm or excitement? How often have you found yourself in a space that just seems to wrap its warm arms around you and beckon you to stay awhile?
I believe that great design can only come from open communication.
What feelings do you want to have the room reflect? Who are the people who will be using this space? What must be included in this space to meet your expectations? What is the budget that you have dedicated to make this space a haven?
These questions are among the discussion topics that will be covered when a project is undertaken. This sharing of individual ideas and desires will allow Chrysaliz Design to create a truly personalized space that will reflect its occupants’ personalities and special qualities. Whether it is choosing the perfect colors, fabrics, furnishing or accessories, careful attention will be paid to every detail in an effort to allow us to achieve this goal.
As a designer, my philosophy is as follows:
I firmly believe that to live in an environment which can refresh, rejuvenate, soothe and comfort is both pleasing and healing to the human spirit. Our homes should be the personal space that we can envelope around us like a cocoon. Each person has a very unique set of needs which must be identified and addressed for that spirit to be nurtured. My passion is to first, truly know my clients and from that understanding, to create the vision which will become the reality. My greatest joy is when a client says to me, "This room is so 'me'." That's when I know I have succeeded.
As lead designer and founder of Chrysaliz Design, I truly believe in the words of Winston Churchill:
"We shape our environments; thereafter they shape us."
