Chandeliers are the cream of the lighting crop, adding elegance to the practical nature of room lighting. Even the sound of the name sounds highbrow and expensive, and we at LRM Interior Design love the many different styles and materials that chandeliers are made of. As usual, it was very difficult to narrow down our list to just five, but here they are.
Jaeger 6-Tier Horn Chandelier
1. Jaeger 6-Tiered Horn Chandelier: Our love affair with capiz-shell chandeliers is still strong, don’t worry—after all, they helped us win one of our ASID awards! But it will have to share our hearts with this Jaeger horn chandelier, as the color and shape of the horn pieces are gorgeous. The hammered antique brass canopy is beautiful, as is the light diffused by the polished pieces of horn. This is a light fixture that does not melt into the background, but is rather more of an attention-getter—we must feel like it’s one of the LRM gang… (read the rest of this post…)

LRMID transformed an 80s nightmare into a contemporary showhome.
Orange County is known for its high number of attractive, solvent bachelors, but what happens when they finally realize that they want to settle down?
“All of the bachelor clients have come to me looking to transform their home,” says Lisa. “They’re finally looking to find that special someone, and are aware that their house is not up to a woman’s standards.”
According to the clients, they approached LRM Interior Design in the first place because of the company’s use of a clean aesthetic. “Plus, we have a practical and analytical style that appeals to men,” Lisa explains.” (read the rest of this post…)

Turquoise: The color of 2010
Jan Smith, LRM Interior Design’s Senior Designer, lets our readers in on a fantastic Insider Tip: “Various interior design sources agree that the main color palettes being used today in home interiors are one of the following three trends.”
“Trend number one: Anything eco-friendly involving ‘nature’ or ‘going green,’” explains Jan. “Using an ecologically conscious color scheme is still very prevalent in today’s market, as are furniture and accessories, and how you apply or install the décor in your home.” (read the rest of this post…)

LRM Interior Design’s Hillary Nichols writes this Inspiration about stenciling. Did you think that stencils were just used in your Grandmother’s house or in nurseries? Do you immediately imagine pastel-colored images of roses, vines and hearts? That was the “old” way of stenciling, and in the 21st century, there has been a stencil revival! New designs, in both modern and ethnic patterns, add a unique flavor to the walls of any space.
“I absolutely love these Moroccan-inspired stencils for borders and full coverage by Royal Design Studio,” says Hillary. The designs were created by Melanie Royal after she returned from several painting trips to Marrakech, Morocco.
“Stencils can be used in a variety of ways,” advises Hillary. “Try stenciling on the ceiling, or create an entire wall with an allover stencil.” And why contain your stenciling to walls? Hillary recommends that you stencil metallic paint on velvet pillows, on furniture, or even on the floor!
We can’t include the beautiful designs on our blog, so please make sure you check them out on the Royal Design Studio site – click here.
