inspiration…..
The first post on our new blog, Welcome! Theres nothing like a clean white slate (or in our case a chocolatey brown one) to get the creative juices flowing.
Quick introductions are in order, Interiors Plus+ is part of Kellcia Designs, a full service Interior Design company. For the past year I have been living in Bogota, Colombia, reestablishing my life, career and dreams yet again!
If you are a regular from our other blogs and website you know that I live a nomadic lifestyle, moving from one place to another, at times moving around the world every 2 or so years. Believe it or not, this is not an unusual lifestyle in the expatriate circles from which I come.
Over the past year I have been watching, learning, studying, and at times just plain leering at things in my new environment. This city is surprisingly slow paced, almost backwards at times and design as a whole, as I’ve seen it, is generally repetitive and expensive at best. There are masters of ‘reproduction’ to be found here, but a total lack of variety and, what I call, smart design…
About 2 months after my arrival, I found myself looking for lamps and pillows of all things, and it was an incredible and almost impossible task! Everything was either old style, cheap quality, ridiculously expensive or 100% modern in design… I have nothing against any of these things, to each his own-I always say! But I couldn’t help but notice the disparity.
So after my quest to find pillows and lamps fizzled, the ideas began flowing, why not start my own line of accessories? And so there it is, how the vision of Interiors Plus+ developed-yes, it really was that simple! I have since then spent my time running here, there and everywhere, looking at every range of products to be found in high end, low end and even open air markets. The process of filling the gap in the design market are in motion.
Once you start looking, you become completely enthralled with new design inspirations. Some of my clients have expressed interest in the inspirational process for a design and the implementation of it always seems to captivate them, so it is my hope that this blog will do the same for you.
Being of a global design mind, if you have something to share that inspires you, please post a photo and your thoughts! Every culture is different, every person sees things in different ways, I would love the idea of cross inspiration from one to another.
On a final note, in November, look for our line to launch, we will first launch at some of the local fairs and just in time for the holidays-shortly thereafter, we’ll launch an online store as well and as always, offer custom designs to our special clientele!
Subscribe to’ inspirations’ and let inspiration for design become a full time passion for you!
