Those Signature Curves


As noted the other day, graceful curves were architect Paul Williams' thing: elegant curved staircases, smooth curved walls and curved bay windows such as the one above. This Los Angeles home, a Williams classic, has been decorated by Lynn von Kersting. Her passion for layered textiles as well as French and Moroccan accessories is clear.


Here Williams' refined architectural details are a backdrop for more of Lynn von Kersting's lively mix of patterns. Unfortunately at some point a Starbucks cup landed on my tear sheet, but hopefully you can still see the details (click to enlarge).

Images are from Traditional Home, March 2003


Speaking of Lynn von Kersting, another California designer, Vanessa De Vargas, just completed a Lynn-inspired Bohemian Chic dining room as part of her E-Decorating service. Be sure to see some of Vanessa's budget-friendly alternatives.

These images just go to show how important architectural details are in a room. Here, they really enhance von Kersting's gorgeous work.
