Sophisticated Neutrals

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love working with our clients to design spaces around a neutral color palette; when properly executed, the monochromatic effect is dramatic in its sophistication and luxury. A soft, tone on tone color scheme creates a soothing backdrop, allowing many other design elements to shine. Pattern, texture, wall art, décor, and architectural features move to the forefront against a neutral canvas inviting the eyes to relax and fully take in the beauty without distraction. In these spaces, natural light and shadow are design elements in and of themselves as they play throughout the room to create an ever-changing landscape from morning to evening. As you can see by these gorgeous inspiration images, varying shades of whites, ivories, grays, and linens evoke a spa-like feeling of tranquility while also expanding the look and feel of each space by utilizing uninterrupted sightlines, allowing features like the stunning marble fireplace surround and the beautifully sculpted, floor-to-ceiling stone hearth and mantle to be showcased without overwhelming the room. The overall atmosphere of each space is that of invitation and welcome, the design is organic and conveys a sense of comfort and an elegant simplicity that draws people into community, fellowship, and rest. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you design your perfect place of peace with a touch of sophisticated neutrals!

Art & Beauty

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we want our clients to get lost in the beauty of their homes. As Thomas Merton once said, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Undoubtedly one of the most personal decisions our clients will make during the design process is the selection of artwork that will beautifully enhance their surroundings. Whether it is a piece around which a room will be anchored, or pieces chosen to elevate an established room design, artwork conveys identity and enriches the personality of a home. One of our go-to product lines for an endless selection of stunning artwork for our clients is Leftbank Art. In their words, “For over 40 years, Leftbank Art has provided the latest in art to the design world. Our line (over 16,000 pieces) is updated seasonally, ensuring the availability of the latest trends and styles. A variety of sizes and styles by new and acclaimed talents provide our clients with their first choice in quality art. All our work is hand embellished, bringing a realistic painted look to each image. At Leftbank Art, we offer a one-of-a-kind representation of all our artwork.” At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we know that art is deeply subjective and open to individual interpretation, and we encourage our clients to explore the options available to them to confidently express that individuality. Let us help you lose yourself in the beauty of your home with the help of Leftbank Art! Design credit to @leftbankart @susansemmelmanninteriors @grayspaceinteriordesign

Black and White

Black and white: simple, classic, elegant, timeless. A color combination so harmonious it can stand alone in its lovely sophistication or become a stunning backdrop for any feature color. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love working with interior design clients who prefer this color palette because it is always an adventure to see where the final design plan will land in relation to fabrics, finishes, patterns, accessories, and more! Whether utilized as a foundation or a focal point, there are so many possible directions and just as many options. It is a joy to bring our expertise and wealth of resources to the table to help our clients bring their home dreams and imaginations into living color. Notice in these gorgeous inspiration images how the pops of gold are highlighted against varying canvases of black and white patterns. Not many color duos can boast the staying power of black and white as a staple in interior design, the feel is always clean and crisp and somehow has the ability to be right at home as a complement to any design style. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you realize your design dreams by adding a touch of glamour to your home with the effortless beauty of black and white!

Teamwork = Dream Work

There is a well-known expression, “Teamwork makes the dream work.” At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we firmly believe that this is the key to successfully serving our interior design clients. We consider each of our team members to be family, and as a family, we all bring the best of our gifts and talents to the table for every job; this collective effort creates a gorgeous result every time. Hooker Furniture has long been one of our go-to vendors and was founded on the same principles. It is our joy to know that we partner with like-minded companies that focus on keeping the main thing, the main thing. First and foremost, Hooker Furniture endeavors to create a culture of strongly connected community. In a tribute to their patriarch, Clyde Hooker, words like integrity, honor, compassion, kindness, and respect came up over and over again, and this quote by Maya Angelou is attributed to the way he lived his life, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” The company’s stunning product lines are simply an extension of the trust and encouragement that is given to each employee to work diligently at his or her given job, coupled with an unyielding commitment to quality and a willingness to embrace the ever-changing demands of the market. With a heart for philanthropy, Mr. Hooker knew the secret of living to give back, and the company holds true to that standard today. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we live by the motto “The spirit of living is in the giving,” so let our team give what we have to you by creating your dream home with the help of Hooker Furniture!

Room with a View

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love letting the light in! Inviting natural light into a room provides a space with an ever-changing landscape of shape, shadow, and shine. Vaulted living areas with floor to ceiling windows make for a stunning design backdrop as the light pours in and the artistry of nature is showcased during every season, incorporating the beauty of outside with the design of the inside. As you can see by these gorgeous images, the high ceilings and the expanse of windows not only create visual drama, but also have the potential to become a major player in the aesthetic of each room, the outside view and quality of light have a significant influence on the interior design elements, from flooring and fabrics to art and accessories, and beyond. The ability to plan out these spaces during the construction detailing process allows us to help our clients bring out the wow factor in every room of their homes, making sure that we maximize all opportunities to highlight the best features, both inside and out. We also work with many clients who want to transition the darker design elements in their existing homes to a brighter, more uplifting palette; with the right design choices, there is always a way to utilize the natural light in any room to reflect and brighten the environment. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you bring light and life to your home by creating your ideal room with a view!

Let Them Dream

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to work with each of our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients to create spaces for every member of the family. This week we highlight rooms for kids, and we absolutely adore the opportunity to design every bunk room, playroom, and bedroom! We believe that kids need space to grow, play, imagine, relax, and DREAM. They have so much to navigate in the world these days, don’t they? Our goal is to give them a place of respite all their own, a haven of surroundings explicitly designed around their individual passions and personalities. When kids have spaces set aside and designated for their use and enjoyment, they blossom and relax into the environment, providing their friends with a place to relax and gather as well. We believe that helping our kids develop a strong community is so very vital and essential to their well being. Be inspired by these gorgeous rooms created with kids in mind, elevated with equal parts imagination, whimsy, style, and inspired design. We like to think that, as we carefully craft every space to our clients’ specifications, we are creating a personal invitation for each child to retreat, rest, and realize the possibilities of their endless imaginations. As Walt Disney once said, “First, think. Second, believe. Third, dream. And finally, DREAM some more!” Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create amazing spaces for your kids so they can dream big! Design credit to @mika_it @susansemmelmanninteriors @studia_54

Amazing Artisans

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love the feeling of pulling a room together, adding the final touches, and creating a show-stopping finish. Choosing a rug for a space is one element that makes this process so much fun, adding the perfect exclamation point to a room and beautifully accessorizing the overall design. We have the privilege of working with many amazing product lines, and Feizy Rugs is one of our go-to choices for the most stunning rugs for our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients. Family owned and operated for four generations, Feizy Rugs is wholeheartedly committed to family values and top-of-the-line quality without compromising personal ethics or standards.

The Feizy family has set the industry standard for marrying amazing quality to design.

Champagne Dreams

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we have a love affair with champagne! Sleek, sparkling, and festive; designing with multifaceted shades of champagne creates a beautiful environment that is both luxurious and soothing. Champagne hues are best utilized as glamorous neutrals; when layered with ivories and grays, they add very subtle depth and have stunning visual appeal. Many of our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients request a natural, organic color palette for their homes; these shades tie in perfectly to add that much-needed touch of shine without overtaking the aesthetic of a space. When working with our clients, we love to think of each home as an opportunity for celebration, an extension of their lives lived to the fullest with friends and family; that is the biggest joy in doing what we do. No matter their design style or color preference, our hearts are deeply invested in making each home unique and perfectly personalized. As this year comes to a close, we are dreaming along with each of you about new plans and opportunities that are on the horizon. However you choose to fill your glass, whether it be bubbly or otherwise, we raise a toast to you in celebration of the victories, successes, and wonderful memories made in 2019, and in anticipation of many more to come in 2020. Be inspired by these gorgeous designs to consider adding a pop of champagne to your home décor, and let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help make the most out of your home design for you and your loved ones. Happy New Year from our family to yours! Design credit to @constantinfrolov.design @ellwoodinteriors and @tarakanovadesign.

Hearth + Home + Family

Hearth, home, family; at Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we believe in the importance of gathering with our loved ones and being purposeful about creating beautiful environments in which to do so. During this time of year, our thoughts continuously go to the hearth of the home; it is the heartbeat of connection and the space that invites community. As officially defined, the hearth is the area in and around the fireplace, but it is also a term synonymous with the warmth and affection of home. When working with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients, we have the opportunity to help them create their happy place, the place they envision filled to overflowing with family and friends. Danish culture espouses a way of life called hygge, as explained by author Meik Wiking, “The Danes are famously the happiest people in the world, and hygge is a cornerstone of their way of life. Hygge (pronounced Hoo-ga) loosely translates as a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. You know hygge when you feel it. It is when you are cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one or sharing comfort food with your closest friends. It is those crisp blue mornings when the light through your window is just right. It is about gratitude and savoring the simple pleasures in life. In short, it is the pursuit of everyday happiness.” We fully agree that living with this kind of intentionality brings a quality of life that is deep and meaningful, and it is always our goal to create spaces for our clients that encourage that very thing. The comfortable hub of the home can also serve as the most inviting space to entertain guests, where they are encouraged to linger and appreciate the special moments brought about by true connection. Be inspired by these gorgeous images to dream about your fireside plans, then let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create your ideal hearth, home, and happy place! Merry Christmas from our families to yours! Design credit @life_arch @studia_54 @rockwoodcustomhomes @constantinfrolov.design

Timeless Modern Design

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we believe that as we keep our focus on integrity and excellence, and surround ourselves with family and community who hold the same values, the work we provide our clients simply becomes a beautiful extension of that foundation. Our job is made so much easier by partnering with companies who put the same heart and soul behind what they do. Family owned and operated for more than 65 years, Thayer Coggin is one such company. Their words say it best, “Since 1953, Thayer Coggin has carved out a distinct identity in the home furnishings market through a commitment to timeless modern design. Through founder Thayer Coggin’s vision and Distinguished Design Award honoree Milo Baughman’s creations, Thayer Coggin has amassed a collection of some of the most recognizable furniture designs in the world.” Their stunning designs are born by visionaries and facilitated by the craftspeople who bring each piece to life, skilled artisans who love what they do and choose this work as their life-long career. Their company is unique in that every piece of furniture is bench-made by a single craftsperson, each of whom has his or her own style and signature. By the same token, when working with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients, our goal is to help them develop their own style and signature. For those who favor the clean lines and distinctive style of modern design, we love to recommend the artistry and history that comes with each piece in this iconic collection. It is our joy to sit with our clients and catch the visions they have for their homes; most say that they would like to build a legacy, to create a place of warmth and love to celebrate friends and family for generations to come. We accomplish this through highly individualized design and by providing options for heirloom quality furnishings and décor like those offered by this amazing brand. Let these gorgeous images inspire you to dream about timeless modern design for your home, then let Susan Semmelmann Interiors bring those dreams to life with the help of Thayer Coggin!

Make a Passion Statement

This time of year, splashes of red take center stage to signal festivities and traditions of the holiday season. Red is vibrant and joyful, evoking feelings of warmth and excitement. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we like to keep that feeling going all year long! Red, by its nature, is high drama and commands attention. We definitely see it as a fashion statement, but more than that, we consider it a passion statement for your home. What are your thoughts on adding compliments of red to your décor? Most likely, you either love it and are drawn to it, or you are certain it is not for you. Many of our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients request to incorporate this bold color in varying degrees and applications. The seemingly endless shades have many moods and characteristics; it often requires a seasoned eye to choose the right one and weave it into a color scheme in a way that compliments and doesn’t overwhelm an environment. As featured in these images, red hues are best utilized as either an accent, such as art or floral, or a full-on statement in the way of furniture pieces that anchor a space. Gorgeous area rugs are also an option to consider when working with a neutral palette that can benefit from a punch of high-impact color. Red brings a feeling of luxury to a room. It becomes a focal point in the landscape of any area, so we work to ensure that our clients love the view when their design projects are complete. This holiday season, and all year long, let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you make a passion statement in your home by adding a dash of red!

A Warm Welcome

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, our heart for your home is to create an environment of warmth and welcome. When working with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients, one of the primary considerations in the home design process is building in the functionality to host friends and loved ones with elegance and comfort. Once the proper foundation and flow are established, a beautifully designed and appointed home becomes a gorgeous backdrop for everyday life. Your home is always evolving with personal touches added throughout the year, specifically in the way of seasonal décor. During the holiday season, we have the opportunity to create a setting of intimacy that invites our guests into deeper community. Often this setting happens around the table, so we encourage you to make it fabulous! Creating a lovely tablescape is a wonderful way to show your hospitality and highlight your style and personality, and we believe that the use of candlelight is key to making any table setting more stunning and sophisticated. We choose to partner with brands who put love and purpose behind what they do, those who develop their passion and offer it to the world, much like we do. We procure only the best product lines for our clients, and our luxury candle brands are no exception. Nest Fragrances, Voluspa Candles, and Zodax Decor create amazing candles that infuse your home with signature fragrance, they are incredibly committed to their craft, using only the best and most carefully curated ingredients. Beautiful fragrance should be a complementary element that lingers in your home and enhances the atmosphere; this is the hallmark of a candle created with quality and excellence. Whether lighting up your holiday table, or any area of your home, let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you set the stage to create a warm welcome for your guests with the help of Nest, Voluspa, and Zodax home fragrance!

Thanks and Giving

Thanks and Giving; two words joined together to create the name of our annual celebration of family, friends, community…life! At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we live by those words every day, and in that particular order. We begin each day with deep gratitude for the blessings in our lives and for the opportunity to do what we love, and we believe that practicing gratitude creates an overflow, a desire to pay those blessings forward and give back to those around us. We consider it an honor to partner with many organizations in our community that work tirelessly for the good of others. Among other projects, this year we had the amazing opportunity to gift the nonprofit organization, a Wish with Wings, with a surprise (and well-deserved) lobby makeover. It was such a joy to see the tremendous impact of a loving gesture for these ladies who give their all to ensure that children with life-threatening medical conditions realize a lifelong wish. This is why we do what we do; we strongly resonate with interior design legend Elsie de Wolfe who said: “I am going to make everything around me beautiful and that will be my life.” Our primary focus when working on any project is, of course, to create beauty. When designing homes for our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients, we envision warm and welcoming gathering spaces, not only for the holidays but for the celebration of every day. This week we highlight the dining room as a symbol of togetherness and a place of fellowship and connection. As you gather everyone around your table this Thanksgiving, whether it be big or small, fancy or simple, take inspiration from the words of Thomas D. Willhite: “How do you say “thank you” for sunshine or health…for clear days or gentle rains…for happiness, joy, or love? You say it by sharing what you have. You say it by making the world a better place in which to live.” From all of us at Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we wish you Happy Thanks and Giving!

Universal Language

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we believe that style is a universal language; it is one of the ways we communicate with and interpret the world around us. Universal language is defined as any type of expression that is used and understood everywhere. From art and fashion to communication and creative pursuits, our individual methods of expression make us each unique and allow us to create a distinctive imprint on our surroundings. Your home is possibly the largest platform you have to make a statement of personal style and to clearly define the spaces and details that are most meaningful to you. In turn, you will have the pleasure of sharing your passion for your home with those closest to you. When working with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients, our goal is to help them be intentional about every aspect of their home design, working from the ground up to integrate elements of beauty, form, and function. We identify and implement a plan that speaks directly to who they are and how they want to feel when they walk through the door every day. Once we determine the overall design that embodies their desired outcome, we turn to our fantastic product lines to make that dream a reality. One line we love to suggest to our clients is Universal Furniture. This line, in particular, speaks many design languages, offering an extensive and stunning selection of modern, transitional, traditional, rustic, and coastal furniture and accessories. Established as a standard presence in the furniture mecca of High Point, North Carolina, they are always fashion-forward and on-trend while also being firmly anchored in a tradition of uncompromising quality and customer service. Their company commits to deliver “Modern Function, Practical Luxury, and Quality, Upscale Designs.” At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we provide nothing but the best to our clients, let us help you become fluent in your signature style with the help of Universal Furniture!

Make an Entrance

Your entryway, also referred to as the foyer or vestibule, is your opportunity to warmly welcome your guests with style, grace, and no small amount of wow factor. Whether the available space is on a grand scale or more intimate in size, this area is the introduction to your home, it is the point of joy and greeting that wraps your guests in a warm hug and an invitation to stay awhile. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we see the entryway design as an opportunity to be playful while also being practical. Construction detailing allows us to create the space, dream up fabulous features, incorporate ambient lighting, and build in much-needed storage areas. A well thought out design plan enables us to camouflage the utility and highlight the beauty. When working with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients, we highly encourage them to play up their personality in this area, have fun and allow for some out of the box thinking. With hundreds of product lines available for our clients, we take their visions, add our recommendations and expertise, and make them a reality. You can see from these design inspirations from Studia 54 and Constantin Frolov Design that the options are endless when considering the possibilities, from elegant and straightforward to fanciful and dreamlike, and everything in between. As the holidays quickly approach, that reminds us that another significant consideration should be the ability to incorporate seasonal décor as this is usually a go-to area. It is always good to have a plan for that in advance, including hidden outlets, ample space for tabletop floral and ornamentation, and any other personal decoration preferences. Because your entryway immediately sets the tone for your home, what would you like to convey? What features do you envision? What is your wow factor? We help our clients consider the big picture while we see to the details that reflect their individual aesthetic, including color palette, art, lighting, furniture, rugs, and so much more. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create the perfect space to welcome your friends and family during the holiday season and all year long!

Front And Center

November is here, and that means the holiday season is upon us bringing many wonderful opportunities to gather with our loved ones. Your front door is the first touch of warmth and beauty when friends and family come to your home, it is a welcome invitation and the anticipation of joy and fellowship that lies beyond. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we love to work with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients to create their signature home style from front to back and outside in. Ideally, construction detailing allows us to accomplish these plans from the ground up, but even existing remodels can undergo major transformations when key elements are improved upon. We always advise our clients that a gorgeous front door is a worthy investment, when properly selected and designed it has the potential to be the jewel of the home’s exterior, an adornment on a grand scale. Changing this one design feature has the potential to take your curb appeal from drab to fabulous in an instant, offering dramatic visual impact that speaks directly to the personality and character of your home. These images highlight a few of the amazing possibilities, including the modern clean lines and full transparency of glass, the ornate glamour of handcrafted metal work and luxury hardware, the traditional elegance of wood, and the pure artistry and expertise of integrating the front door design in to the look and feel of the overall architectural plan. This feature is the perfect intersection of utility and creativity, a chance to truly define your personal style. From premade doors to fully customized creations, with endless options on the market, quality and craftsmanship are key and our team knows and works with the best of the best in the industry.

Lighting Love Affair

Is it possible to have a love affair with the lighting in your home? At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we say, unequivocally, yes. When working with our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients, one of our favorite steps in the home design process is selecting the jewelry, the bling, the sparkle, the lighting! In much the same way that the right accessories complete the perfect outfit, well chosen lighting elevates a room and puts an exclamation point on the look and feel of each space. Lighting choices have the ability to instantly change the personality and mood of any environment, so choosing well and integrating a lighting plan from the ground up is a crucial part of the design process. We use our experience and expertise combined with amazing product lines to narrow our clients’ options and guide them toward these key finishing touches that will be the difference-makers that set their homes apart. Speaking of product lines and difference-makers, we at Susan Semmelmann Interiors have a love affair with Fine Art Lamps. With over a century of artistry, mastery, and what seems like boundless creativity, Fine Art Lamps offers the most unique and stunning lighting creations, each expertly handcrafted with hand-applied finishes making every product a one-of-a-kind work of art. Taking the customization one step further, they also offer a program that allows the customer to select the finish, choose the shade type, and make modifications to the body design. In their words, “We are passionately devoted to creating fine artistic lighting and innovative studio glass that become the defining features of uniquely designed environments.” When it comes to quality and craftsmanship it goes without saying that their culture of excellence is simply part of their DNA as a company, taking pride in their ever-evolving product line and the fact that every key component is designed, produced and manufactured in-house, with the ultimate goal of “working together to create unique works of art – blending Old World tradition with New World innovation.” Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help light up your environment and make your home sparkle with the help of Fine Art Lamps!

Passion For Purple

You might say that I have a pretty intense passion for purple, as one in a long generational line of TCU alumni, purple is in my blood and it’s here to stay! We at Susan Semmelmann Interiors love to support our community and represent our Horned Frogs, especially when we have the opportunity to include their signature color in the plans for our Dallas Fort Worth interior design clients. Speaking in terms of design, purple can be an absolutely stunning statement color in any room, from quieter muted tones to more vibrant dramatic hues, it has the potential to infuse gorgeous depth in to the color palette of any room. Think of it as a combination of opposites, an equal mix of soothing blue and electric red, with endless variations of moods and personalities. As these images show, when tempered with neutrals, purple is showstopping as a focal color, when paired with darker shades it becomes elegant and exotic, with almost a heartbeat of its own. As the color of creativity, royalty, nobility, and luxury it is rich in history and mystique. It is a bold choice that will pay off in the huge dividend of falling more in love with your space. Is purple your color? It can be with the right eye and expert guidance, let our team at Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you find your passion for purple!
