Today's guest is Seattle designer Brian Paquette. He joins us to talk about his brand new book At Home: Evocative and Art-Forward Interiors, as well as his unconventional path to design, his love of art, and why he finds so much inspiration in an earthy palette.What You'll Hear on the Show: His unconventional background into the design field Why it's important to listen when working on a clients design (or your own home) Why he typically favors weaves over patterns in his more permanent pieces We talk about his book (why Karen loved his captions) Sense memory in a room and why Brian loves to speak to a client's sense memory Why Brian creates a signature scent for each of his clients' home Brian thinks listening and inferring information is his super power Why asking about a paint color someone used in their home isn't a smart way to choose a paint color Why he likes a monotone palette for media rooms and bedrooms Why Brian leaves art to chance in his design projects Why a home should age and we should accept and enjoy the aging process Decorating Dilemma:Brian suggests switching your throw pillow inserts to Trillium which is a down alternative. This is what Brian uses for all of his clients! For the rest of the room, own the blue sofa! Add more blue in with two club chairs to coordinate with your sofa -- it could be pillows, some cording on the chairs, or a similar but different blue fabric on the chair. You're almost there. Just two more chairs will tie it all together.Mentioned in This Episode: Brian Paquette Interiors Brian Paquette on Instagram  At Home: Evocative &amp; Art Forward Interiors, by Brian Paquette Trillium pillow inserts from PillowFlex

Ep 69 Brian Paquette

With a background in painting and conceptual art, Brian Paquette brings a singular point of view to the Seattle and San Francisco interior design scene. Rather than following a particular style, he draws inspiration from a variety of sources: architecture, travel, and the natural world, to name a few. For Brian, interior design is not something sterile or static; it’s a living extension of art, meant to be touched, used and admired. That mindset is at the heart of Brian Paquette Interiors. We are a high end design firm and we build custom spaces that are at once open and intimate, grounded yet light. Our Seattle interior design team works through a close, collaborative process, creating homes that reflect our clients’ identity, history and aspirations. We partner with local craftsmen to ensure every element in our projects is unique and carefully considered, with its own story that adds to the greater whole. Founded in 2009, Brian Paquette Interiors provides full-service interior design. Our Seattle and San Francisco interiors have been featured in Architectural Digest, Dwell, Luxe Magazine and more. We also regularly work in Los Angeles, New York City, British Columbia and beyond. In addition to interior design, we offer furniture, textiles and décor through Brian Paquette at Home. Our online shop is yet another extension of Brian’s personal aesthetic. Experience it for yourself. https://brianpaquetteinteriors.com/ https://www.instagram.com/brian.paquette_/?hl=en
