Acting on a Design Legend’s Advice

“Everything in a bedroom should contribute to an atmosphere of peace.”
-Billy Baldwin

This week Kristen Rusert was inspired by this quote by Billy Baldwin – and if you’re reading this blog, you’ll know we’re speaking not of the actor, but of the legendary American interior designer. Baldwin was credited with defining American interior design from the European sensibility, and counted Jackie O, Cole Porter and Diane Vreeland as clients. Truly, Baldwin was one of our country’s masters of interiors.

So if Billy Baldwin gives advice about a room, it would be advantageous to listen. Especially this quote, which does not recommend or dictate a particular style, feature or color scheme, but rather encourages the designer to focus on how the client will feel when living in the space.

“This bedroom is one of my favorite designs that LRM Interior Design has created,” says Kristen. “I believe that, with its light walls, cool fabrics and serene ocean view, it embodies the essence of peace.”

One of LRMID’s specialties is designing for homes on California’s south coast and creating spaces that work with the region’s unique light as it changes through the day.
