If you’re looking for inspiration before rolling up your sleeves, you have come just to the right place! The exquisite interior designer, Kate Spiro, will be showing us today some of her amazing residential projects and how it’s possible to rock the all-neutral colors at home!
When colder weather arrives, we just want to snug and stay inside! Colors have a unique ability of changing the mood of a room, and emerging feelings and emotions. White, different shades of beige, and light browns are calming hues that make us feel relaxed. Interiors have more importance in our lives than we think, we need to look at them as the background of our narrative.

Today, we have an extra help for this matter! Kate Spiro is an incredible design expert, educated in interior design and architecture. The designer has a wide experience in retail projects, since she has worked with a top architectural firm. After that, she has been working, side by side, in Events and Interiors. What do they have in common? She’s able to pull off her magic, and transform the place in a multitude of ways!
Kate has her own studio, a well-established firm in New York, and due to many trips around the world, she’s able to bring a little bit of that experience to her designs. The designer claims that the key of success is actually the attention to detail, and the extra effort to understand what the client really wants. “Design is more than decor and color. It is about understanding each client, and creating a certain energy and feeling in a room”, she claims. It’s important that the final result fulfils the clients’ needs and wishes, but also they have to have the unique signature style of Kate Spiro.
The designer “remains on top of trends, but ensures each design can be carried through for a lifetime. (…) Kate layers color and texture on neutral backdrops to ensure her designs remain timeless, practical, and livable.” One of the trendiest aesthetics is definitely contemporary design.
SHOP THE LOOK
Contemporary means ‘at the moment’, which makes this style particularly hard to define. Dating back to the 1970s, this style is unique because it borrows elements from other aesthetic. In it, you can see nods to modern, traditional, art deco and even futuristic design. At the end, it means that contemporary style is always evolving, and the team does its best to be always updated with the latest design trends. Nowadays, it can be defined by neutral colors, clean an curved line and minimalism. Open spaces are also a strong architecture feature, that we can see here!
Layering plenty of light throughout the room is one of the main features of contemporary design, an element imported from another aesthetic, in this case, from mid-century modern design. The interior designer knows exactly the best materials, concepts, lighting and furnishing elements you’ve been looking for, to provide a final result that is the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality.
In contemporary style, it’s possible to display design pieces of different aesthetics and it’s definitely more eclectic.
