Lisa Bakamis is a San Francisco based interior designer whose bold, eclectic style pushes all the right buttons with me. Her aesthetic focuses on an eclectic blend of modern, industrial, and rustic elements that are balanced with vintage and feminine accents. She has an obsession for pattern and color, which is often seen through bold fabric and wallpaper selections in many of her designs. She loves unexpected vintage light fixtures, furniture frames, and accessories, paired with an overall industrial modern, tailored décor. Lisa is driven by her passion for creating environments that reflect a distinct eye for blending color, pattern, and texture, counterbalanced by great scale and an element of surprise.

I featured a couple of projects last month by Vancouver’s Fox Design Studio (a Coquitlam townhouse and a West Vancouver home) and I have another small project to share. Love the mix of modern, industrial and cabin-esque vibes. They really rocked the use of colour here. Full redecoration and partial renovation of a Coal Harbour townhome. We got the opportunity to tackle a smaller project for a Vancouver couple that let us play with color and texture throughout their luxury townhome. Grasscloth, marble, sheepskins and some salvage wood chevron all played key roles in creating this curated space.

One of our favourite designers Jason Martin (you may remember him from our DIY+ series) has taken a giant leap and opened up a showroom in Los Angeles called Martin & Brockett. It is filled with spectacular furnishings, lighting, accessories and artwork and I absolutely adore every single piece! Part traditional, part modern, it is a wonderful blend of both worlds that is bound to please all who enter…and have them leaving with tons of loot! I know I would be! Congrats Jason!!

It is hard to believe that this is a basement, and what was formerly just a bunch of concrete walls and floors. Edyta Czajkowska of Edyta & Co. transformed the space to one of the most stylish basements I think I’ve ever seen! Here are some details Edyta provided: This lower level is part of a single family home located in the suburbs of Chicago. The husband and wife are very busy and active with two kids, two dogs and two cats. This space was completely empty concrete box so we transformed it into rooms that the family can utilize, and really enjoy. The lower level includes: kitchen/bar area to whip up some yummies and drinks in, family/party room for fun movie nights by the fire as well as family parties or naps, a bright soothing home office for the wife, bathroom and a guest bedroom. The idea was to create a modern, bright and exciting space that is super comfy as well as chic. I think I did just that with the use of clean lines, vibrant colors, modern elements, beautiful furnishings and fixtures, fun wallpaper and plush textiles and let’s not forget beautiful original art.
