The Subtle Color That Makes a Statement
This classic color is like your favorite tailored suit - sleek, sharp, and always in style! Semmelmann Interiors favors navy blue because it’s subtle, but also makes a statement. And who doesn’t love a mysterious contrast? While black is still the go-to for sophistication, you can think of navy as the cooler cousin with quiet confidence. It says, “I’m serious about style,” in an effortless way. The refinement of navy works especially well with textures. Velvet, leather, and linen all look next-level when paired with navy. It’s a color that makes fabric feel extra plush, and your space feel extra luxe! Navy also has a way of making everything else around it look even better. That bright yellow vase? It looks like a star next to navy. The light wood floors? They look like they belong in a museum surrounded by navy. It’s a color that brings out the best in everything! Whether you’re looking to revamp the living room, update the bedroom, or add a touch of elegance to the dining room, let’s work together on navy-inspired designs that will make your home feel like a five-star hotel!
Elevate Your Winter Decor with Fur Accents
A chic way to bring warmth, texture, and luxury to any interior is with fur accents! Semmelmann Interiors knows just the right way to pair a soft, furry piece with sleek minimalism to create a stunning contrast. These plush touches are perfect for small furniture pieces, throws, pillows, or rugs, adding softness and comfort while creating an inviting atmosphere. What’s fantastic about fur is its versatility. Want to create a cozy, cabin-chic vibe? Throw a fur blanket on your couch. Dreaming of a little Parisian glam? Add a fur-covered stool or an elegant throw to your bed. Fur accents work across all design styles—modern, traditional, minimalist—adding a tactile richness that catches the eye and softens a space. Fur also introduces an element of nature into the home, evoking the feeling of being in a serene, luxurious retreat. With the right balance, fur accents can transform a room from ordinary to extraordinary! Ready to add a little fluff to your decor?
Crushing on Velvet
In the realm of interior design, texture is everything! Velvet brings a unique, tactile quality that adds depth and richness to any room. Our team at Semmelmann Interiors utilizes velvet in many of our designs, especially with jewel tones like emerald green and royal blue. An upholstered velvet sofa or armchair can become the centerpiece of your living room, drawing the eye and inviting conversation. Velvet drapes can add a touch of elegance and warmth while beautifully framing your windows. Plush velvet bedding is fit for royalty. Sweet dreams are guaranteed! So what exactly is this fabulous fabric, and how is it made? Velvet has been produced as a material for over 4,000 years by weaving two layers of material together on a special loom and then separating the layers to create a soft, thick pile. We prefer fabrics with a dense pile, rich color saturation, and substantial weight. Whether you opt for the most luxurious silk velvet known for its incredible softness and sheen or prefer more texture with edgy crushed velvet, allow us to choose a high-quality, durable, and chic material for your interiors. Get ready to revel in the luxury and charm of this fabulous fabric!
We Love Espresso a Latte
Craft the perfect blend of cozy and modern with espresso brown! The rich, deep tones of this color exude sophisticated elegance but also invite you to indulge in comfort and style. Our team at Semmelmann Interiors loves this color a latte, especially in industrial or western interiors! Think bold walls, plush furniture, and captivating cabinetry. Lighting is key to making these espresso elements shine like a warm-toned pendant light that bathes your space in a golden glow, or a chandelier with bronze accents that bring out the brown tones. The most suitable colors to pair with espresso are also neutral coffee-inspired colors. Creamy white resembles the frothiness of a well-crafted cappuccino and acts as a smooth contrast to the dark, black-brown of espresso. Lighter browns such as caramel work well for accessories and textiles, adding a hint of sweetness. Craving a caffeinated energy boost for your home with a double shot of espresso? Work with us to embrace this stunning color and add depth that draws you into a beautifully brewed space!
Powder Power
When it comes to design, the powder room is a petite retreat! The room’s name originated in 18th-century noble courts to describe the small area where ladies would socialize while they refreshed their powders and perfumes. In modern times, the powder room (or its more casual cousin, the half-bath) serves a similar purpose - a small bathroom ideal for quick freshen-ups. With limited square footage and fewer concerns about steam and splashes than full baths, these mini spaces offer an incredible opportunity for creative flair! Allow our team at Semmelmann Interiors to select and install eye-catching prints or dramatic hues that might feel overwhelming in larger spaces but are perfect for this small space. This is also the best room to experiment with lighting. Opt for a statement chandelier or elegant sconces that cast a warm glow, creating an inviting ambiance. While style is key, functionality is equally important. Smart storage solutions keep the space tidy, while sleek floating shelves can display both decorative and essential items. The rest of the details are designed to be admired! A statement mirror adds elegance and makes the space feel larger and more open. Hang artwork that inspires you, display quirky decor, or incorporate plants. Even a whimsical soap dispenser, plush towels, and a candle or diffuser can elevate the experience, making your powder room feel like a luxurious escape. The powder room is often one of the first impressions your guests have of your home, so make it count! Whether it’s a striking wallpaper, an elegant fixture, or simply a sparkling clean space, let us bring the powder power to your home!
Table for Four
In our evolving digital world, is it still possible to enjoy old-fashioned, face-to-face conversation without distracting screens? We’re so glad you asked, because yes it is! Our team at Semmelmann Interiors intentionally designs spaces meant for endless entertaining and encouraging connections. One of the best areas to take a break from screen time is in a conversation area. Picture this: you walk into this room, and there it is…a charming coffee table surrounded by four identical chairs, becoming a designated chat zone. This setup isn’t just furniture; it’s the VIP talking section. It’s where ideas flow freely, and where guests and family alike can sit back and catch up. When it comes to choosing the right pieces, first things first: the coffee table. This isn't just a flat surface; it's the gravitational pull that draws everyone in. Round works best for natural and informal discussions, but you can easily add style and personality with texture, material, color, or pattern. Whether it’s a reclaimed wood beauty or a sleek glass number, let it create an energetic atmosphere that’s a conversation starter! The chairs surrounding your coffee table are more than just seats—they're the invitees to your social soirée. Choose plush armchairs that encourage comfort and relaxation. Lighting also enhances the overall experience and makes everything look and feel just right. Opt for a soft, warm pendant light or lamp that creates a welcoming ambiance. A few carefully chosen accents can make all the difference. Think vibrant cushions that pop, a throw blanket that adds warmth, and perhaps a tray with some books or games to make your space more engaging and dynamic. Let’s get the design dialogue started on how we can be part of your next home project. We guarantee your guests will look up from their phones to admire your gorgeous new space!
Let Your Style Shine
At Semmelmann Interiors, one of our greatest joys is to source one-of-a-kind, never-before-seen items for our fabulous clients…including lamps like no other! The right lighting can truly make a room shine. But why settle for ordinary when you can make a brilliant statement with an original? Whether you want to add a touch of whimsy, make a bold statement, or simply find that perfect piece to illuminate your style, unique lamps are here to light up your life! Think oversized, sculptural lamps that double as art pieces. Imagine lamp shades in various colors and unusual geometric shapes. For those who like their lighting with a side of fun, picture lamps that bring a smile to your face like quirky animal-shaped bases. The turtle shells shown here add a touch of light-heartedness to the space! Glass bases will also have your room sparkling, from faceted glass that catches the light in mesmerizing ways to lamps that look like they’re made from giant crystals. It’s time for you to flip the switch on ordinary lighting. Work with us on your next design project to incorporate exceptional decor and extraordinary details! Unique lamps are sure to be the highlight of any room!
Go For Gold
This summer, the world has come together to celebrate excellence, perseverance, and the pursuit of greatness at the Olympic Games! There's no better time to allow our team at Semmelmann Interiors to bring that spirit into your home and elevate your interior design to a medal-worthy masterpiece! Gleaming gold accents are synonymous with victory and prestige. Think picture frames, candlesticks, hardware, and light fixtures for a subtle yet effective touch. Art is also a fantastic way to introduce gold with paintings, sculptures, or wall decorations that add visual interest. For a bigger statement, golden furniture pieces, such as a gilded coffee table or a plush gold velvet sofa, can become the focal point of your room. These pieces not only serve a functional purpose but also draw attention and admiration. Another excellent way to incorporate gold is through textiles like curtains, rugs, and bedding. Gold-threaded fabrics can add elegance and warmth, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. Whether you gravitate toward yellow gold, brushed gold, white gold, or another shade, your home will shine like a champion when you work with us to go for gold! After all, winners win!
Sprigs and Twigs
At Semmelmann Interiors, we love bringing the outdoors in with nature-inspired decor that will leaf you in awe! One of the most captivating trends gaining momentum is branches. Branches are nature’s artwork, with their intricate shapes and textures. Whether you prefer flat drawings or textured three-dimensional elements, artistically crafted representations add depth and visual interest with organic lines and patterns. If you lean towards a more contemporary look, consider branch wall art with sleek lines and designs. Metal branches or abstract interpretations can add a modern touch to your space without overwhelming it. For a cozy, farmhouse feel, rustic branch art is ideal. These pieces often feature natural wood with only a few alterations, showcasing the raw beauty. They’re perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in living rooms. Bohemian interiors often embrace eclectic and flowing elements. Branch wall art with intricate details, vibrant colors, or woven components can enhance the boho vibe of your home. Scandinavian design focuses on simplicity and functionality. Wall art that features clean lines and subtle finishes can complement the minimalist aesthetic of this style. Whatever style you choose, branch out and work with us to incorporate natural beauty into your next design project!
Putting Your Best Foot Forward
These versatile, stylish pieces are taking the design world by storm, and it’s easy to see why! Inspired by the low footstools and upholstered seats used for lounging by one of the most opulent cultures in history, the ottoman was introduced to European markets in the 18th century as a sophisticated furniture piece from the Ottoman Empire. Pictured are bedrooms we designed for Semmelmann Interiors clients with ottomans at the foot of the bed. Ottomans are like the Swiss Army knives of interior design…they can do it all! Need a place to sit while putting on your shoes? Check. Extra storage to hide away linens, pillows, or even those books you’ve been meaning to read? Check. A chic focal point that ties your room together? Double-check! These powerhouse pieces bring both practicality and pizzazz to your space. When picking the perfect ottoman, we consider the size, shape, and material that best fits your bedroom’s aesthetic. Whether you prefer plush velvet, chic leather, or cozy fabric, there’s an ottoman out there that will rise to the occasion! We’ll coordinate your ottoman with your bedding for a cohesive look, choosing colors and patterns that complement your duvet or throw pillows to create a harmonious, stylish space. Ottomans are more than just a pretty piece of furniture—they’re a practical addition that can enhance your daily routine and elevate your bedroom’s style. Whether you’re using it for seating, storage, or simply as a decorative accent, an ottoman is a step in the right direction!
Entryways That Make for a Grand Entrance
Step right in! The key to creating a positive first impression of your home is a grand entrance. Semmelmann Interiors knows just how to transform this often overlooked space into the show-stopping, welcoming wonder it was always meant to be! First up for consideration is lighting. Always crucial in any space, lighting is especially noticeable in your entryway. Why not make a statement with a chic chandelier or an overhead pendant? Think of it as the crown jewel of your entry area, dazzling all who enter! Layer the fixture with wall sconces or stylish lamps to create a warm, inviting glow. Mirrors are brilliant elements that can make your space feel larger and brighter by reflecting light. They also give you a last-minute look before you dash out the door. Beyond lighting and focusing on furnishings, your entry is also the perfect place to play with color and patterns. A bold rug can add visual interest and warmth. We recommend a durable material that can handle high traffic. A stylish console table can be the MVP of your entryway, providing a handy spot for keys and mail. Bonus points if they have built-in storage - functional and fabulous! Consoles are bases for stunning décor like books, small sculptures, and plants that are little green greeters saying, “Welcome to our happy home!” Finally, wall art above can set the tone for the rest of the design that lies beyond. Work with us and we’ll roll out the red carpet for your home's opening act!
Open Air Elegance: Stylish Ideas for Outdoor Living
Ah, the season of fun in the sun! Summertime turns your patio into the epicenter of enjoyment for swimming, barbecuing, and delightful outdoor living. Let’s dive into some outdoor furnishing tips from our team at Semmelmann Interiors that will make your outdoor space the go-to destination this summer! First, choose key lounge pieces well suited for basking in the sun. Go for weather-resistant materials like teak or aluminum, and add a splash of color with vibrant, patterned cushions and throws. Perfect for dining al fresco, extendable tables accommodate large groups without compromising style. Combine benches, chairs, and even picnic-style seating for a casual, eclectic vibe. An outdoor rug will define the dining area and add an element of indoor comfort. Whether it’s a classic charcoal grill or a state-of-the-art gas setup, your grill is the heart of summer cooking. Ensure it's positioned for easy access to the dining area but with enough space to avoid smoke issues. A built-in outdoor fridge stocked with drinks keeps everyone refreshed without constant trips inside. For poolside areas in open air, go for chaise lounges with umbrellas. Other decorative accents like lanterns and pathway lights, potted plants, and outdoor art like a garden sculpture add the finishing touches to your outdoor living space. Creating the perfect patio is all about combining comfort, style, and functionality. Ready to make a splash with your patio design? Fire up the grill, dive into the pool, and allow Semmelmann Interiors to design your patio paradise for you to enjoy the sunny season!
Bringing Nature Indoors
Imagine walking into a room where the walls are beaming with the beauty of nature and where the art exudes tranquility and vitality! That's the power of preserved moss wall art! These effective pieces add greenery and texture without the need for watering or sunlight. We brought a touch of nature indoors to these spaces created for our fabulous Semmelmann Interiors clients who requested an organic look! Moss wall art isn't just about decoration—it's about creating an environment that breathes life into your soul. Think natural materials, earthy tones, and designs inspired by the world around us. Bringing the outdoors in makes your home feel more connected to nature. The benefits? Surrounding yourself with elements of nature can reduce stress and promote a sense of calm and well-being. Also, unlike trendy pieces that come and go, organic art has a timeless quality that never goes out of style. Greenery adds an instant touch of elegance and freshness to any room, plus it creates a soothing and inviting atmosphere. Ready to grow your space to its full potential? Work with our team to add a forest-like feel to your home!
Sunny Side Up
When life gives you lemons, make a vibrant yellow space! Summertime is upon us, and our team at Semmelmann Interiors is highlighting the radiant but rarely used seasonal color in design. From mellow yellows to zesty lemon shades, this is the color of happiness, optimism, and warmth. It’s a challenge to strike the right balance of yellow, but you can trust us to add just the right amount for an electric eclectic look! Let’s start small with a splash of yellow throw pillows, accent chairs, artwork, and lamps. These pops of color can brighten your day without overwhelming the space. In bedrooms, yellow can create a serene yet uplifting atmosphere. Let’s opt for soft, buttery yellow linens or a pale yellow accent wall. It’s like sleeping in a field of daffodils! For those who prefer a more subdued palette, mustard yellow is a sophisticated choice. This rich, earthy tone pairs beautifully with deep blues, greens, and even neutral shades in living rooms. Whether you choose to go big with bold yellow statements or keep it subtle with small accents, working with us is a golden opportunity to transform your space into a haven of positivity! With yellow in your home, you’ll be walking on sunshine every day!
Curve Appeal: The Allure of Semicircles
Half the circle, twice the style! Our team at Semmelmann Interiors is embracing the curvaceous and oh-so-charming semicircle! These half-moon wonders are sweeping through the world of interior design, bringing a touch of elegance, playfulness, and balance to our spaces. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to refresh your existing decor, semicircles offer a versatile and stylish solution. From furniture and wall decor to accessories and lighting, they can transform your space in an instant. Semicircle furnishings create a cozy, inviting atmosphere that encourages relaxation and conversation. Lounging on a sofa with a semicircular backrest is like getting a warm hug every time you sit down! Walls are prime real estate for introducing semicircles into your design scheme. Think about incorporating semicircular mirrors, which not only add a decorative touch but also create the illusion of more space. In addition, arched door frames or windows soften harsh edges, promote flow, and bring a sense of tranquility to your home with their smooth, flowing lines! Lighting is another area where semicircles shine—literally. Semicircular pendant lights or sconces cast a beautiful, ambient glow that sets the mood. Allow us to give semicircles a spin in your next interior design project…we’ll make your home not only liveable but also lovable!
Geometry 101: A Lesson on How to Play with Bold Shapes and Patterns
Are you ready to get angles right and patterns on point? Our team at Semmelmann Interiors has acute design knowledge when it comes to using geometric patterns to create a blend of sophistication and playfulness! The geometric trend, characterized by clean lines, bold shapes, and vibrant patterns, is all about creating visual interest. The use of repetitive patterns and shapes can bring order and calm to any room. Think of a living room with a striking hexagonal tile backsplash or a dining area with a table featuring a geometric metal base. These elements not only add visual interest but also instill balance and harmony. Let’s start with a statement piece, such as a geometric rug or a piece of art, and build around it. This will help maintain a cohesive look without overwhelming the space. From classic chevrons and stripes to more complex tessellations and fractals, the possibilities are endless. Wallpapers, lighting, and backsplashes are excellent mediums for introducing geometric patterns into your decor, which thrives on contrast. Bold color schemes, such as black and white or vibrant primary colors, can make angled patterns stand out and create a dynamic look. On the other hand, monochromatic or soft pastel hues can make a bold pattern more subdued, perfect for an understated aesthetic. Allow us to use the right angles to design the right home aesthetic for you!

To start, the main attraction of a home game room is the playing table. We only choose tables made with the highest quality materials that are as functional as they are sleek. Next, we add a variety of seating options for spectators like stools or sofas so that visitors can relax and watch the action. A bar and snack station surrounded by several screens for watching sports or playing virtual games is a must. For wall accents, your style guides our design choices whether that’s retro arcade vibes with neon lights and vintage posters or a modern, futuristic setting with minimalist decor. Working with us to design your next game room is an automatic jackpot! Let the games begin!

Mirrored walls don’t need replacing or repainting since they’re made of glass – just wipe away dust and dirt with a soft cloth and your walls will be gleaming brighter than the icy radiance of a freshly polished diamond! They're as practical as they are picturesque. Whether you're considering a full-on mirrored makeover or just a subtle wall to add a touch of glamour, embrace the brilliance of our designers at work to create shimmer, shine, and sparkle!
Stable Style: Harnessing the Timeless Beauty of Horses
The thunder of galloping hooves, the flash of colorful silks, the thrill of the lively race—there's nothing quite like the Kentucky Derby! As we anticipate the iconic event, let's take a moment to appreciate the timeless beauty of horses, not just on the racetrack, but also in home decor. As a symbol of where grace meets grandeur and elegance merges with exhilaration, one of the most striking ways of adding equestrian inspiration is through art. Our talented designers at Semmelmann Interiors selected each of the original artworks shown here for our horse-loving Fort Worth clients! Horse paintings have a long-standing history in art and design, dating back centuries. Realistic portraits of a majestic stallion capture the essence of these magnificent creatures while a whimsical interpretation of a playful pony conveys their spirit and energy. Whether hung above a fireplace, placed above a sofa, or displayed in a hallway, a horse painting commands attention and draws the eye, instantly creating an allure. While betting on horses this weekend may stirrup some excitement, remember that allowing us to bring you the perfect horse painting is a sure bet! We can’t wait to design your new home as a winner's circle of style and sophistication!
