With the long awaited Barbie movie blowing up the big screen, I've been asked a lot about "barbiecore" inteior design. To be honest, it does make me cringe a bit, but I can see how Barbie inspiration has infected our daily lives. interior design is no exception – the combination of pink colors and the use of luxurious materials has been labeled as "Barbiecore". When not executed correctly, Barbiecore inspired interiors can come off as tacky. If you are considering this trend for your next interior project, I've rounded up some tips to help you achieve Barbiecore interior design that is tasteful and sophisticated. Opt for a Pink Color Palette with Neutral Accents The key to achieving a Barbiecore interior design while still keeping it sophisticated is to stick to a palette of soft pinks and neutral accents. Soft pinks, mixed with blues and oranges, will bring a touch of Barbie to your space while maintaining an understated elegance. On the other hand, opting for neutral color accents, like beige, white, or gray, will make your space look luxurious and provide balance. Incorporate Sophisticated Furniture Pieces When it comes to furnishings, it is imperative that you choose luxurious and elegant pieces. In particular, I recommend furniture with soft edges and plush textures such as velvet. A great option would be tufted pink velvet sofas and chairs that offer a comfortable and stylish seating arrangement. You can also add bright pops...
Along with many of the Top Manhattan Interior Designers, Kati Curtis is featured in Best and Company's video series, "In Good Company". In this episode, we talked about my formula for success in all of my client's designs, my 22 year background in design, and how my father's contractor background was a driving force for my career. For my clients' projects, I always like to include an element of craft- using high quality craftsman to create custom pieces. I include an element of culture with global influence. Lastly, I include a collected feel with items collected from around the world over a period of time- whether from my own personal collection or from my clients' travels. This formula makes our designs inherently unique and personal to each client, and really differentiates us from other design firms.

Kati Curtis and 7 other top interior designers spot trends at High Point Market. As a style spotter, I was chosen along with several other top designers from around the country to scout out the top trends at this year's High Point Market. At Terracea, I quickly picked up on the global influence of their pieces that featured a twist on traditional marketplace patterns. I chose this stunning console that takes a typical marketry pattern and puts it on a relief on the front of the doors. The pattern was carved out and had an amazing textural quality that I loved. The mix of traditional and contemporary is something I find to be really exciting. Next, I stopped at Cisco Home. I was really excited to see some more Southwestern, Americana qualities that I noticed throughout High Point Market. The John Derian collection for Cisco really stood out to me as a really sophisticated, New York quality with that southwest flare. I chose this stunning John Derian couch from this line as my piece of choice. It has a very upscale, New York silhouette and feel to it, but they found these vintage Moroccan rugs and upholstered them with it. This really changed the whole feel of the piece and made it a show stopper! If you've been thinking about bringing us on to design your dream home- now is the time!

The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) has featured our own NYC Interior Designer Kati in their Alumni Video Series this year. An honor - "Accepted with much gratitude for the top notch education I received. " she gushes. In this video, I discussed how my family's careers in general contracting and construction led me to interior design. I even used to draw floor plans as a little girl! After SCAD, my career took me in all kinds of different directions and to different experiences. From designing commercial hospitals to working in big architecture firms, I was learning so much- but I felt like something was lacking. I wasn't able to really impact the human experience in the way I wanted. This led me into residential work, which is what I do today. My education at SCAD really has been such a great foundation for my career. All of the principles of form, shape, and proportion that I studied are things I use every day. I spoke a bit about how my LEED accreditation and style have been so important in how I approach my clients' projects- and the education from SCAD really has been the greatest gift.
