At Talie Jane Interiors, we love questions—whether it’s about paint colors, space planning, or what it’s really like to work with a designer (spoiler: it’s fun!) – seriously, bring them on! Our team has selected some of our favorite most frequently asked questions, from design dilemmas to project must-knows. We’re dishing out answers with a side of personality and a lot of design love. Let’s dive in! What’s the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator? Let’s break it down. An interior decorator focuses on the visual aesthetics and decoration of interior spaces. They focus on the finishing touches: furniture, color schemes, accessories, and overall aesthetic. An interior designer brings much more to the table. Designers are formally trained professionals who combine creativity with technical know-how to transform a space from the ground up. They study subjects like architecture, space planning, color theory, and CAD (computer-aided design). Many hold degrees from accredited programs and are required to be licensed or certified in certain states.  In short, decorators style a space, designers shape it. When should I hire an interior designer? The earlier, the better. Bringing a designer in at the start of your project—whether planning a new build, renovation, […]

In today’s world, sustainability is no longer just an option; it’s a necessity. As we strive for energy efficiency, healthier indoor environments, and reduced environmental impact, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) has emerged as the gold standard in green building certification.This initiative provides a comprehensive framework for designing, constructing, and maintaining environmentally responsible and resource-efficient buildings, from commercial skyscrapers to cozy family homes. In this month’s blog, we’ll explore the key principles of this design, its benefits for homeowners and developers, and why it’s shaping the future of architecture. What is LEED?

Buildings and homes that have this certification feature energy-efficient systems, sustainable materials, and healthier indoor environments. They reduce utility costs, lower carbon footprints, and promote smart growth. How Does a Building Become LEED Certified? Certification is awarded on four levels based on sustainability performance: Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Buildings earn points in energy efficiency, water conservation, and indoor air quality. Each level reflects a building’s dedication to sustainability, efficiency, and occupant well-being. What Materials Earn LEED Credits? LEED-certified materials include rapidly renewable […]

The Seven Elements of Design

Design is the language that shapes the world around us, whether it’s the layout of a website, the packaging of a product, or the interior design of a room. At the core of every design project lies a set of fundamental principles that guide creative decisions. These principles are based on seven key elements of design, each one acting as a building block for creating visual harmony, functionality, and beauty. In this blog article, we explore the seven elements of design—line, shape, color, texture, space, form, and value—and how they come together to create impactful, compelling designs. Whether you’re a budding designer or simply someone interested in the art of visual communication, understanding these elements will enhance your appreciation of good design and help you create more visually engaging work. Line The line is a fundamental design element that defines shapes, creates boundaries and directs visual flow. It can be used in various ways—straight or curved, thick or thin—to evoke different emotions and guide the viewer’s eye.Horizontal lines often convey stability and calmness, while vertical lines suggest height and strength.Diagonal lines create a sense of movement and energy. In design, lines are structural and convey rhythm, texture, and depth, making […]

She became an interior designer later in her life, just like I did. And she, too, was emotionally affected by poor design. [She threw herself on the floor crying and screaming about the ugliness of William Morris wallpaper, and I cried real tears when pulling into an IKEA parking lot!] In other words, we both knew the moment we found our calling, deciding to make everything around us beautiful.” Elsie de Wolfe, known as Lady Mendl, was a pioneering force in interior design and is […]

Humans are hard-wired to respond positively to nature; the crackling sound of fire, the smell of fresh rain on soil, the healing characteristics of plants and the color green and the desire to be in close proximity to animals. This innate wiring, along with today’s critical environmental conditions and rapid urbanization, have shifted architects’ focus towards eco-conscious projects to bring people closer to nature. What is Biophilic Design? Biophilic design is a methodology for designing buildings and landscapes that nurtures the relationship between people and nature by introducing various natural features into the built environment. In this way, the integration of biophilic design creates spaces that deliver benefits for both human health and the environment. What are its Benefits? The benefits of this design technique extend far beyond aesthetics. Exposure to natural elements has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance overall mental health. Biophilic design creates environments that foster relaxation and emotional well-being. The Six Elements There are six elements of biophilic design which were conceived by Stephen Kellert, a social ecologist and prominent biophilic design advocate.According to Kellert, although the concept of biophilic design is itself relatively straightforward to grasp and we can easily appreciate how […]

Defining the California Mission Style

by Talie Jane Interiors· July 07, 2024· in Bedrooms, Dining Rooms, Furniture & Fixtures, Hallways/Entryways, Home Decor, Kitchens, Living/Family Rooms, Outdoor Spaces, Tips and Trends· 0 comments tags: Arcade, Arches, California Mission Style, Colorful tiles, Decorative Tile Work, Dormers, Handmade pottery, Iron stair railings, Islamic Architectural Details, Mission Revival, Mission style fireplace, Mission Style kitchen, Modern Mission Style, Parapet Walls, Quatrefoil Window, Reclaimed beams, Red Clay Tile Roof, Southwestern architecture, Stucco Exterior, Terracotta tile roof, Tile Roof, What is California Mission Style, World's Columbian Exposition
Driving up Highway 101 along the coast of California, you will see a lot of signs for “El Camino Real” and often a curved post with a bell attached. These bells indicate the old Mission Trail, which connects a series of 21 Franciscan missions built in Alta California in the 18th century. For those of us who didn’t grow up in California, the “Mission Revival” style of architecture which dominated late 19th and early 20th century development may not be familiar but it’s one we at Talie Jane Interiors have come to love. What is California Mission Style? The Mission Revival style is one of California’s most famous architectural styles. For instance, red clay tile roofing with a low pitch, plain stucco exteriors, and arches characterize this style, which evolved from old missions. Mission Revival homes are trendy because of the thick wall systems that assist keep the pleasant breeze in and the searing heat out.These dwellings are usually modest but have much historical significance. A second story is prevalent in today’s Mission Revival, with the classification of single-story Mission residences as bungalows. With these properties having such qualities, they will never get old and remain iconic as long as […]
