Designer I look up to: Thomas Urquijo

Thomas Urquijo, a Spanish Interior Designer or Interior Architect I should say, is one of those masters who knows how to mix periods and style in one of the most effortless ways I've seen.  His Interior Architecture is completely classic and elegant but it feels totally livable.  It doesn't make me feel stiff at the thought of living in it.

Love this area for a small apartment living room.  The architectural screen and the treatment on the walls brings personality to the room while the daybed and the kind of modern or transitional carpet makes the whole atmosphere feel friendly.  The Klismos chairs make a direct reference to classic in a very light and chic way.

This bedroom feels so soothing and cozy yet it feels sophisticated.  The touch of light colored wood has a lot to do with this feeling.

Thomas Urquijo seems to love regency and art deco style furniture, which I would say helps his rooms look transitional.  I feel I can never get tired in these rooms.

Here, in this amazing dining room, Thomas went completely regency.  He painted Egyptian figures on the walls and used a more modern version of the Klismos chair.  I adore the checkered border on the upper part of the walls.  It's amazing how a simple little detail can bring so much character into a room.

This room has me drooling.... I mean seriously drooling.  I can not tell you how much I adore that ladder, does it look a bit Art Nouveauish to you?  I have to have a Louis XVI chair upholstered in black leather one day.  I know, I know...  Check out the circle sculpture on the wall! Can you picture a square one...? nah... The gingham checkered fabric on the wing chair brings a touch of youth to the classic library.
