A Glass Half Full

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we approach life with a glass-half-full outlook; we also apply that mindset to these gorgeous bathtubs! We are in love with these glass creations by Antonio Lupi Design; they become the room's centerpiece, like a sparkling jewel. We've said time and again, the bathroom is a space for rest, recharge, and rejuvenation, so its design deserves a level of care and attention that speaks to each client's definition of a personal oasis. We always seek out design elements that add signature statements to our clients' homes. The translucent shine of these stand-alone tubs definitely creates a showcase moment – and an immediate need for a bubble bath! With a fabulous lineup of available colors, this feature can be customized to complement a wide range of aesthetic preferences; from vibrant, bright shades to more understated neutrals, the colors are pure magic when integrated into the perfect space and environment. Who wouldn't want to start and end their day surrounded by such elegance and style?! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you design your dream bath and have you looking at life with a glass-half-full…a glass bathtub, that is! Design/image credit to @antoniolupidesign @buro_one

Warm Winter White

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love the warmth and elegance of winter white; this luxurious shade is on full display in these gorgeous interiors! Winter white is in the color family with warmer, softer whites such as ivory, cream, and ecru. As you can see in these stunning spaces, keeping the color palette soothing and neutral creates a relaxing, spa-like environment that also conveys a cozy, inviting vibe. One look at these rooms has us running for an oversized blanket, comfy slippers, and something hot to sip! Another beautiful aspect of utilizing calming white hues in design is the emphasis on the beauty of natural light and shadow, expressing different moods at different times of day, even throughout different seasons. Elements such as architectural features, wall art, texture, and décor are on full display as other visual distractions are minimized. The result is a peaceful, uncluttered retreat that becomes a fabulous spot for connection and community where lively conversation and laughter bring vibrance and color! Are you ready to add some warmth and welcome to your home? Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you design the perfect peaceful retreat with wonderful winter white!

How Does Your Indoor Garden Grow?

Susan Semmelmann Interiors wants to know, how does your indoor garden grow? We love the life and energy green spaces provide, and they are truly spectacular when planted inside! These beautiful designs feature creative and clever ways to incorporate greenery into a home's interior. The applications and options are limitless, from in-ground trees and gardens to large-scale potted displays and accent floral and foliage. The color green has a grounding effect that evokes feelings of harmony and tranquility. As the representative color of nature, it makes sense that it is a powerful enhancement to a home's environment. When designing for our clients, we have always been believers in the therapeutic and aesthetic benefits of greenery; the added touch in every space freshens the feel and finishes the look. Of course, tending live plants has calming benefits for those who enjoy them, but don't be shy about looking into permanent or preserved botanical and floral designs if maintaining live plants is too labor-intensive for your taste. There are fabulous choices available that would fool the most discerning eye. It all comes down to the product provider's expertise, passion, and artistry. If you want to know how your indoor garden can grow, let Susan Semmelmann Interiors use our expert green team to help you design a gorgeous one!

The Mountains Are Calling

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to work with our clients to bring their ultimate vacation destinations to life, from sunny lakes to snowy mountains! These gorgeous chalets inspire us with cozy, luxurious, inviting designs. The view is undoubtedly the star of the show, a perfect starting point for the inspiration of the home’s interior. The inside décor and outdoor elements dovetail together and seamlessly complement one another. These designs capitalize on the location by inviting loads of natural light inside, featuring tall, beamed ceilings, incorporating wide-open spaces, and keeping with soft, neutral color palette choices. Rough-hewn woods and rustic touches combine with chic and sophisticated fabrics, fixtures, and furnishings, resulting in an environment that exudes elegance mixed with just the right touch of raw elements echoing the outdoors. There isn’t a much better place to sit back, cozy up, and enjoy the show of a constantly changing and always stunning landscape!

Susan Semmelmann Interiors wishes you and yours a warm and wonderful Christmas! The warmth of heart, home, family, and friends makes the season come alive with magic and wonder. The most meaningful thing we can do during this (or any) time of year is, of course, gather! We love the inspiration these holiday settings bring; each is utterly unique yet welcoming in every way. From stunningly simple to elegantly ornate, and all points in between, décor choices during the holidays are the collective expression of home, family, and tradition, celebrating the true meaning of the season while embracing and entertaining our loved ones. As we experience beautiful sunshine and higher temperatures this Christmas day, we’ll definitely be feeling the heat outside, but we’ll be focused on the warmth inside, sharing the joys of connection, celebration, and community. Do you have visions of perfect holiday gathering spaces dancing in your head? Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you bring them to life; it’s the heartbeat of what we do!

Posh Passageways

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to create gorgeous passageways in the homes we design for our clients. From hallways to entryways and stairways, each space should be a beautiful journey to the next, and these show-stopping stairways show us how it’s done! There are so many fabulous elements that can be included when this type of vision is captured during the construction detailing stage of home design. Beginning with a blank canvas provides a platform for the creative imagination to soar! Integrating lighting into the walls and stair treads brings endless design options that are both eye-catching and utterly unique. The cascading light fixtures are magical as they cast a soft, elegant reflection, highlighting feature artwork and high-end surfaces like marble, wood, glass, metal, and stone. The perfect mixture of statement décor and materials brings a mood and vibe to the environment that is distinctive to every space. This area of the home, usually known for its utility, now becomes a showpiece through intentional, purposeful design. Yes, luxury design also extends to the stairs! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create posh passageways in your home with the addition of a positively stunning staircase!

Relaxed Refinement

This week at Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we are featuring fabulous luxury lodge designs that inspire us to slow our pace and enjoy the view! The rustic vibe of a countryside setting is just the ticket to escape the hurried pace of everyday living; just looking at these gorgeous interiors transports us to next-level relaxation mode. Suffice it to say that there is no “roughing it” involved in this type of lodge living. 😉 The juxtaposition of soft muted colors and elegant décor against rough-hewn wood elements and textured stone creates a beautiful balance of masculine and feminine qualities. Expertly crafted woodwork, statement lighting, and tailormade fabrics and furnishings add to the finished product to take it beautifully over the top. The result is a sophisticated yet cozy environment that mimics its surroundings and invites its guests to merge into the slow lane and stay awhile. So, the next time you hear, “Wanna get away?” Just say, “Yes, please!” Whether a vacation retreat or primary residence, Susan Semmelmann Interiors can help you realize the dream of refined country living with a custom-designed luxury lodge retreat!

The Buttoned-Up Bedroom

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we adore the process of working with our clients to create the ultimate bedroom retreat. These stunning designs are goal-worthy when looking for inspiration to dream up a fabulous dream space. We’re particularly smitten with our gorgeous green cover feature, adding an intense pop of color with a bit of holiday vibe and sparkle! This look is perfectly polished and beautifully buttoned-up. The term “buttoned-up” suggests that the final details of something are carried to completion; this definition is spot-on when used to describe these bold and beautiful bedrooms! Design elements like headboard feature walls, statement light fixtures, and luxury bedding provide many customization options for a completely unique result. Floor-to-ceiling applications of stone and mirrored surfaces are complemented by a refined color palette and just the right touches of texture to create an environment that is elegant, soothing, and ultra-chic. Every surface is touched with intentionality and an eye towards a “finished” look. The result is a space with loads of personality that becomes a haven for rest and rejuvenation. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create a haven in your home by designing your ideal buttoned-up bedroom!

Freeze Frame

With all the hurry and hustle this time of year can bring, Susan Semmelmann Interiors would like to treat you to a moment of pure peace and calm. We’ve taken a freeze-frame of these signature interiors that feature stunning arched ceilings as a focal point. Inspired by classic cathedral architecture, this design element is often referred to as a cathedral arch. The pattern of curves is comprised of groin vaults, also known as cross vaults or double barrel vaults. Whatever you choose to call them, we call them fabulous! These soothing interiors evoke feelings of history with a touch of mystery; this look is timeless, elegant, and romantic, echoing back to a former time but perfectly placed in the here and now. The modern take keeps the palette simple and clean, staying with soft whites and ivories to accent the beauty of the surfaces and emphasize the play of light and shadow against the curved lines and angles. The result is a rhythmic and fluid visual effect that is a showstopper in any space, creating a moment that is beautifully frozen in time! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create freeze-frame moments in your home with the addition of eye-catching cathedral arches!

A Seat at the Table

Thanksgiving is upon us, and at Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we never want to miss an opportunity to focus on gratitude, gathering, and great times with family and friends! We love to create environments where everyone has a seat at the table, and in our opinion, the more the merrier! Although we can absolutely appreciate a smaller, more intimate atmosphere if that is your preference. Big or small, the dining rooms we design for our clients have one goal; to become the go-to space for love, laughter, community, and connection. Dining together should be an experience to remember, and we love to think of this room as a destination spot that reflects each homeowner's beauty and unique personality. From sleek and stylish to elegant and understated and all points in between, there are no rules to dictate what works for you. This space is your love letter to the people in your world, your vibe for your tribe. Whether hosting a pizza night or a fabulous feast; what a beautiful thing it is to simply open our homes, embrace our loved ones, and make those forever memories! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors have a seat at your table to help you create your signature dining room design for the holidays and every day! Happy Thanksgiving from our families to yours! We are so thankful for you! Design/image credit to @constantinfrolov.design @buro_one @constantinfrolov.design @interior_dsgnr

Fabulous Foundations

Classic, elegant, timeless; at Susan Semmelmann Interiors, our goal is to create interiors for our clients that stand the test of time, and black and white flooring always provides a fabulous foundation! This look adds bold pattern and visual texture with just the right amount of drama. Although it is a high-impact design element, black and white flooring is a stunning backdrop for colorful art and décor as well as a beautiful neutral vibe for a more understated color palette. Materials and pattern designs run the gamut from the always stylish checkerboard tiles to more elaborate and customized designs in marble and other gorgeous stone choices. Creative vision is a key factor when implementing this design option; the objective is to make a bold statement with flooring without making it so “loud” it overshadows the rest of the space. The construction detailing process is vital when mapping out feature elements like this; the finished design is the product of intentional planning with a clear vision for the finished product. And what a fantastic finished product it is! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create a fabulous foundation for your home design with the addition of bold and beautiful black and white flooring!

Smoke and Mirrors

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to create just the right style and vibe for each of our clients, and sometimes the desired bath design leans more toward darker tones and chic finishes; what a gorgeous look! The color palette of blacks and smoky grays is a beautiful foundation to showcase design elements like statement light fixtures and creative lighting effects, sculptural mirrors and reflective surfaces, and metallic accents in a variety of stunning materials and finishes. The addition of floral and greenery provides a fresh touch against the deeper, moodier hues. Natural elements like wood and stone can also be used to balance the more intense lines and colors. The result is bold and dramatic while also feeling elegant and refined, both masculine and feminine at the same time. This look has a sublime sensory aspect that conveys peace and calm with just a little undercurrent of magic and mystery. With its perfect recipe of light, shadow, and texture, the sophisticated and stylish wow factor is off the charts! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you add some mystery and magic to your home’s interior by infusing deep shades of blacks and grays into your bathroom design!

Color Your World

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love making design statements with color, and helping our clients infuse their homes with signature pops of color is one of our favorite things to do! Bold colors bring life and energy to a room, and these stunning designs are evidence of that. Each of these spaces inspires a creative vision for those wanting to incorporate a fabulous feature shade. The key to a successful result is to keep the main thing, the main thing; a neutral or monochromatic foundation is the way to go when opting for a color-filled showcase. Brighter colors demand attention, so be sure to give the star of the show the focus it deserves! You can make a big commitment with large-scale artwork, wall murals, and anchor furnishings. On the other hand, if you are a little shy about color or want to re-vibe with each season, use easily changeable elements like accessories, artwork, pillows, throws, and floral accents to create an equally impactful look. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you color your world by adding stylish statement colors to your home design!

Larger Than Life

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, our goal is to bring energy and life into the homes we design by infusing each space with unique beauty and signature style. One of the ways we accomplish this is by incorporating large-scale works of art; what a stunning statement these pieces make! Artwork is so personal and subjective; it speaks to us individually, calling upon experiences, emotions, and memories that impact how we see what the artist conveys through the medium and paint and canvas. We make it our own as we assign its meaning through our eyes, and that’s the beauty of it; everyone experiences the same work of art differently! There is an intimacy that occurs when art “speaks” and becomes another lens through which a home’s identity is established. When choosing artwork, we often encourage our clients not to rush the process ~ when you know it’s right, you know at the heart level. These gorgeous designs show how fabulous feature works of art become statement-makers, filling the room with personality and panache! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create a larger-than-life home design with grand and glamorous artwork! Design/image credit to @julia_baya @hoteldepourtales @rug_society @apparatusstudio

Bathed in Natural Light

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to design interiors that maximize gorgeous natural light, and the bath is a perfect spot to showcase the shine! These spectacular spaces highlight a range of possibilities that make the bathroom light and bright while also providing peace of mind and privacy. The use of soft colors, reflective surfaces, light filtering shades, skylights, and sparkling fixtures enhances and amplifies the natural ambiance while setting the stage for a stunning retreat. We often encourage our clients to invest in this space and not overlook the details that make it a unique and nurturing haven. This room is where we start and end our days; it should be a soothing sanctuary! Natural light is like an elixir for our minds and bodies. It helps our bodies produce Vitamin D, improves our circadian rhythms and sleep patterns, helps us focus, and enables us to be more productive. It also leads to a healthier and happier outlook as it heightens the brain's production of mood-enhancing serotonin. We love the fact that natural light has beauty AND brains! 😉 There are so many reasons to invite the light into our homes, and at Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we can help you put the "good" in your mood by bathing in natural light!

Magical Mystical Moss

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to add a touch of floral and botanical elements to every room in the home. The presence of green brings light and life and has a beautiful, grounding effect on a space. This week we are going a bit bigger and bolder with our green crush by highlighting magical, mystical moss! This gorgeous hue adds a subtle pop of color without being too bold or overwhelming. From paint, textiles, and furnishings to fixtures, artwork, and hard surfaces like marble and glass, incorporating moss green brings a balanced, earthy vibe. Paired with dark colors, soft whites, and various neutral tones, this showstopping shade conveys a hypnotic, moody, other-worldly feel that pairs beautifully with dark wood elements, feature lighting, and sleek, sophisticated accessories and finishings. As you can see in these stunning designs, moss green adds elegance and a feeling of peace, harmony, and nature to a room’s ambiance. The stunning light fixtures cascading from the ceiling like Spanish moss are on point for this color feature! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you bring light and life to your home’s interior by adding magical, mystical moss green! Design/image credit to @livelli_architects @studia_54

Designing Divine Displays

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to design divine displays for our clientele! Clients often request that we integrate shelving into the design of their homes to showcase books, décor, collections, artwork, photos, and more. Drawing on imagination, creativity, design expertise, and fine craftsmanship, shelving can absolutely convey a luxurious look and feel. Although portable bookshelves are sometimes a solution to a storage need, built-ins are always preferred if the goal is seamless design, space efficiency, and utterly unique customization. We love to add this feature during the construction detailing phase of design, so it feels native to the home and creates an organic flow in every space. As you can see in these gorgeous images, shelves not only display works of art, but also become architectural and sculptural works of art when they are crafted specifically for each interior. Add just the right lighting, and voila, you have a shelving masterpiece! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you create divine displays in your home with the addition of sleek and stylish shelving solutions!

Modern Glam it Up!

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we think that modern and glam go hand-in-hand to create a magnificent design style! Modern Glam is sleek and elegant, combining clean lines and a neutral canvas with a touch of glitz and glamour, resulting in a luxurious yet livable vibe. This gorgeous look utilizes elements from the Hollywood Regency style but is not nearly as dramatic or ostentatious. Hollywood Regency’s architecture, art, and décor have influences of Classic Greek and Roman, Baroque, and Art Deco styles. It combines jewel-toned colors, elaborate patterns, varying textures, classic furnishings, and over-scaled, extravagant light fixtures…all with one goal; to display luxury, excess, entertainment, and a retro-Hollywood feel. Modern Glam is much more understated and focuses on borrowing several of these elements to showcase them against a light, crisp color palette with a stylish contemporary flair, creating a series of fabulous focal points throughout a room. This style is definitely a case study for the theory that less is M-O-R-E! As you can see in these inspired designs, features like architectural arches, large-scale murals, stunning crystal chandeliers, mod furnishings, and statement works of art truly shine when allowed to take center stage; the look is refined and ultra-sophisticated. And yes, ultra-glamorous as well! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you get your glamour on with a magical yet minimal Modern Glam design!

Sculpting with Light

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we’re always looking for unique and beautiful ways to add shine and sparkle to a room, and these gorgeous light installations really do the trick! Wow, wow, wow! So much more than standard light fixtures, these stunning feature elements are sculptural creations, bringing movement, organic flow, high visual impact, and creative artistic flair to a space. Truly artisanal in nature, the individually suspended pieces are crafted with a variety of fabulous materials, including blown glass, fine crystals, wooden frameworks, mixed metals, acrylics, and more. Suspension fixtures are on-trend and hot on the design scene, and we love to see imagination come to life through these fantastic designs. We always encourage our clients to be intentional about expressing individuality through their home designs, and this type of custom lighting is definitely a signature statement! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you craft your perfect interior and create a showpiece for your home with stunning, sculptural light!
