REINVENTED COLOR PALETTE FOR 2012
Light wood finishes, chairs upholstered in vintage grain sacks and dark leather in the central seating area contrast with pastel pillows and custom finished armoires at A. Hooper & Co., a Fort Worth fashion boutique, designed by Gibson Gimpel Interior Design. Farrow and Ball "Elephant's Breath" wall and ceiling color creates a soft ground to showcase the colorful spring fashion on display.
The New Year offers an opportunity to breathe new life into tired spaces. With trends toward lighter and softer palettes on the rise, designers are invigorating this new look by pairing these soft palettes with modern, saturated, bright colors. From the 2012 Spring Fashion Runway shows, to fabrics and paint colors, inspiration can be found in novel and unexpected color combinations. High contrast natural tones and textures mix with industrial materials and finishes to add drama to the design.
Mixing Traditional Aesthetics for a More Modern Design

Collaboration between the client and interior design team leads to spaces rich with character and personal expression. A client’s unique collection of salvaged architectural elements, art, and existing furniture pieces can serve as inspiration for the design concept, as they did in this Louisiana Vernacular home in Fort Worth, Texas designed by Gibson Gimpel Interior Design. In a new home, the re-purposing of architectural pieces not only creates a sense of history in a new space, it tells a story about the home owner and their family. Interior designers lend expertise in facilitating the process when incorporating these pieces into the design of a home through practiced collaboration with contractors, careful communications through technical drawings, and creative solutions. Interior Designers work to showcase the clients collected elements without costly retro-fitting.
