Top Design: Earth, Wind, and Fire (Water)
A trip to the Viceroy served as a back drop for inspiration, maybe a little intimidation too. The wonderfully beautiful, and extremely talented Kelly Wearstler is the designer responsible for the Viceroys look. This weeks task, design a hotel room. This weeks incentive, not immunity, but a editoral spotlight in Metropolitan Home.
Yawn…
We are in a controlled environment again. Their square rooms offer no design challenges. Not having to overcome challenges like the size of space, clients bad taste, or a limited budget. Their boxes mute the creativity, 3 out of the four rooms furniture layouts were exactly the same. Of course they were given a twist to wrap their creative minds around, elements we are always surrounded by: Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire. Our guest judge, the director of design and architecture for Metropolitan Home.
Surprise, Carisa had a good design. Very bold colors for her interpretation of Wind. She lost me on her floor covering choices.
Oh Goil, what happened? Fire. I like where his room was going and if he would have finished his original design idea, I think he would have had the Top Design.
Andreas, Earth, lacked confidence which came through her design. Looking at the picture it just looked thin.
Matt’s room was much more Wind than Water. He lost me on the area rug. As all the judges mentioned, I loved his scale. Narrow minded Carisa told Matt his room looked like a nursery. I think she was referring to the refreshing powder blue walls. Kelly Wearstler made a great point that Matt’s choice for mirrored side tables would not last in a real hotel room setting. Wait, not even in a high end hotel room? At the beginning of the show they showed some examples of the Viceroy rooms, that Kelly did. One room had a wall of mirrors…how much does the cleaning staff love that?
Goil got that axe. I am weeping for Goil. Till next week, Matt you better win.
