Erinn Valencich of Erinn V Design Group
January 2, 2010Today I would like to spotlight an uber talented designer. Based out of Los Angeles, Erinn V of Erinn V Design Group and
OmniArte has taken glamorous eclecticism to elegant new heights. Erinn is featured on the most recent installment of Decorati
and can also be found at OmniArteDesign.com. Her spaces are so inspirational and really make you realize how warmth and whimsy
can be achieved without sacrificing glamour and sophistication.
Erinn V Dining Room
Erinn manages to effortlessly layer patterns without overwhelming the space. The patterns
begin to interact as textures would in nature and harmoniously create an elegant eclecticism that
lends livability to her glamorous spaces. I am in love with the combination of the black,
white, and grey foundation with the pops of yellow, turquoise, and hot pink…..so sexy!
Erinn V Living Room
Here again Erinn plays up subtle textures and patterns creating a natural, cozy environment. This living room is
bordering on 50′s mod, but Erinn has brought into todays design asthetic with all the right patterns and color combinations.
The natural stone fireplace is updated with a coat of paint that modernized without losing the texture of the stone. By keeping the
foundation colors neutral, she really allows her accessories and accent colors to speak. This space is a great example
of how important the right accessories are….just imagine this room without the turquoise pillow and vase with flowers….
it becomes a completely different room with a different mood. The pops of color really add whimsy and make this space
friendly and livable.
Erinn V Entry
Here again we see the graceful layering of textures. If you saw the elements individually you might think that
they could never be combined without overwhelming the space. Erinn really allows each feature to speak by using
neutral colors. If the mirrors were in a more bold color, they would fight with the patterned wall paper, but because
she does them in classic white, they create a beautiful focal point while simultaneously adding depth to the space.
By staying with the lattice theme, all of the furnishings work together instead of clashing. Subconsciously your visual
centers accept these patterns because they are complementing one another rather than competing with on another.
Another gorgeous space with warmth and whimsy….the perfect first impression for and entry way or foyer.
Erinn V Bathroom
I am a huge fan of re-finished Victorian mirrors in bathrooms (or any place in the home for that matter!) in lieu of
traditional medicine cabinets. The geometric tile and vanity are the perfect juxtaposition to the organic shapes of the mirror
and wall paper.
