Picking out lighting for a certain area can be a challenge. As a designer I find that sourcing lighting is one of the more time consuming parts of a project. It is always one of those things that you pick out in the end so it compliments the space rather than the other way around. To find a light that works once you have completed a space can be strategic.

The powder room is one of the most focal points of the design of your home. It’s where you can really go all out and step out of your comfort zone. Designing a powder room is one of our favorite areas at Nazeli Design. It’s just so much fun to create such an aesthetically pleasing space and works out so well because I feel like it is one of the more easier spaces to push a client to go into a more unique direction.

Picking paint colors can be an overwhelming decision. For example, what is the difference between dove white, eggshell, and just regular white? The many different shades of a particular color can consume you during a renovation yet makes the biggest difference. There are many ways to decide on the right shade. It is important to consider the purpose of the space. Depending on the different rooms is where you’ll be able to associate a color. Durability is also something you want to consider and if it is ultimately worth splurging for a different paint type and finish. 

I always knew I wanted to go into design, whether it was fashion or interior design. After working in both industries, I soon realized that interior architecture was where my passion was. I attended FIDM where I received my bachelor’s degree in interior design. I learned a lot through this program but it was through my long hours and experience of working where I gained so much experience and knowledge.

Creating a vintage Parisian library is something we would love to perform at our firm. We created a moodboard or an idea some would say of my current favorites that we would use to design this space.  One of the key elements we had to start with was of course herringbone flooring. It was almost a must when creating this library/office space.

Hiring an interior designer can be a fun yet intimidating process. There are many different things to consider. One of the most common mistakes that we see at Nazeli Design is when clients hire us or any designer for that matter late in the process. It is actually more ideal to hire a designer prior to even starting construction. When you bring on your contractor you should at that point already have your designer on board as well. 

There are so many different fabrics when it comes to design. This not only applies to interiors design and furniture but also fashion design as well! You can essentially reupholster almost all your furniture and repurpose them rather than throwing it out. You just need to be careful with which fabric you end up choosing.

We are so excited to ring in the new year! With 2023 right around the corner we know there are going to be new interior design trends. It does not necessarily mean there will only be new trends but rather current ones will carry over as well. As a full service firm we have a few predictions here at Nazeli Design that we see happening.

The holidays are such an exciting time for most people however we can all get a bit consumed with decorating and feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes less is more.

Real estate agents, developers, and flippers are always on the move looking for the next big potential project. I don't think they realize how much adding an interior designer to this mix will help the process. Not only is it more efficient but it is genuinely helpful.

Black Friday is one of the best times to get in all your shopping needs. Not only is great for the holidays but also just for regular pieces you have been meaning to purchase but have not gotten around to.

When it comes to interior design there are many different design directions to go with and almost everyone has a certain one that they prefer. Although there are many today I want to introduce to you 3 different styles in particular.

Herringbone flooring has been around for as long as I can remember. It signifies such a specific look and was initially started in the 16th

Custom furniture is another one of the biggest misconceptions to outsiders looking into the design world.

When it comes to being an interior designer we all have certain rules we just simply would not do. Every designer has their fair share of recommendations therefore there is no right answer. I just personally find these top 3 things to not work

People are always wondering what exactly we do as interior designers. I feel as though there is such a misconception of what designers do.

Feng shui can play a huge role in interior design. There have been multiple times at Nazeli Design where we have had our first initial meetings with our clients and they have brought up making sure the feng shui of the home is done correctly. This has become a very important process to understand as an interior designer.

I am so excited to finally announce Decor by ND!

When our client came to us originally I was contemplating which direction to go in as their home was right by the beach. I wanted to still give it that airy home while matching the Spanish style of the house but I still wanted some elegance here. I decided to create an antique mirror wall.

We love a good book matching moment. The art in book matching is essentially taking two pieces of stone where the adjoining surfaces are mirroring one another creating that stunning impression of what would seem as an open book.
