Movie Star Glam
Clean, elegant, modern, ageless – black & white. Susan Semmelmann Interiors loves this classic, timeless combo; so harmonious it stands alone in chic sophistication or stands out as a stunning backdrop for any feature color. Not many color duos can boast the staying power of black and white as a staple in interior design. These beautiful interiors showcase the gorgeous look that results from keeping the color palette simple and uninterrupted. The effect is soothing yet dramatic, and undeniably glamourous! We love working with clients who opt for this design foundation because it is always an adventure to see where the final plan will land in relation to fabrics, furnishings, lighting, accessories, and more. Whether the combination of black and white is utilized as a foundation or a focal point, there are many possible design directions and just as many options to see them to completion. With a romantic, old Hollywood vibe this look is right at home as a perfect complement to any design style. It is a joy to bring our expertise and wealth of resources to the table to help our clients bring their home dreams to life. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you bring movie star glamour to your interior by letting black and white play a leading role!

Dial In the Details
Susan Semmelmann Interiors is passionate about the process of accessorizing the homes we design! In the words of Giorgio Armani, "To create something exceptional, your mind must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail." Indeed, the culmination of small details makes the most significant impact on a completed design. These stunning interiors feature carefully and artfully chosen accessories that bring life and personality to each space, providing signature elements that distinguish one interior from the next. Unique décor elements are the final "finish" to a completely custom look. A house becomes more of a home when the interior mirrors its occupants' distinct interests, passions, and personalities. Displaying collections, objects of interest, sculpture, statuary, books, and many other forms of distinctive décor is meaningful and beautiful; it gives a glimpse into a life and lifestyle that becomes a launching point for lively conversation and connection. Adding gorgeous floral and botanical elements to the mix softens the atmosphere and brings fresh energy to the environment. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors create a fully customized look and feel in your home by helping you dial in the details!

In a Meeting!
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we want to add fresh excitement to the phrase “I’m in a meeting!” With a gorgeous, customized home office design, our clients might find themselves making more “appointments” than ever, and if we peeked at their calendar entries, they might look something like thirty minutes of “me time” or one hour of “creative thinking.” And rightly so! A home office should be a sanctuary specifically created to calm and clear the mind to handle daily demands, a respite amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy home. As you can see in these incredibly inspired designs, each space is a beautiful expression of personality with a truly unique vibe. Whether your preference leans towards luxurious and ornate, crisp and clean, or somewhere in between, your signature look is only an inspiration away! The purely functional one-size-fits-all office is a thing of the past, it’s time to make an appointment with the ultimate creative vision for your home. Let Susan Semmelmann interiors help you inspire fresh, new motivation to “go to the office” with the design of a stunning statement space all your own!

We have so much fun helping our clients channel their inner artist and express their passion and personality through bold splashes of color and inspired design. These fabulous interiors are fun, fanciful, and elegantly eclectic, highlighting the expertise and artistry required to create a cohesive look and feel with various shades that usually fight for center stage. Whether featuring a focal color or crafting a signature look with multiple complementary hues, the result is nothing short of show-stopping! Using bright, vibrant colors adds sophisticated charm and individuality to a space while exuding confidence and a strong sense of personal style and flair. When considering the ideal color palette for your interior, pay close attention to what catches your eye and speaks to your soul.

Hot Stone Therapy
Do you know what makes us feel relaxed and rejuvenated at Susan Semmelmann Interiors? Designing show-stopping interiors for our clients, of course! Incorporating stunning stone features into a home’s design provides a natural, raw element that plays beautifully against more elegant and refined features in a space. The juxtaposition of rugged texture against sleek finishes is gorgeous. As you can see in these fabulous interiors, the simple sophistication of design elements like statement lighting, linear architecture and décor, plush furnishings, and delicate accessories stand in stark contrast against the stone surfaces. Still, the complete look is beautiful and harmonious. Utilizing a neutral or monochromatic color palette with subtle pops of color and loads of natural light is the best way to incorporate this feature element, providing a backdrop for the organic stone texture to shine against the play of light and shadow. In large or small applications, whatever your style or taste, this look is hot, hot, hot! Let Susan Semmelmann interiors help you relax into your perfect interior design with some luxurious hot stone therapy for your home!

Dark Meets Divine
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to design dark, moody interiors for our clients. With the right combination of lighting, materials, and a bit of magic, the result is absolutely divine! These showstopping images prove the point that dark doesn’t have to be dreary; actually, quite the opposite. The properly executed look is refined, elegant, and sophisticated, with a hint of mystery. As you can see, statement lighting is hands-down the star of the show in these stunning designs; however, the color palette, accent lighting, tone, and texture set the foundation and create the perfect stage for the stars of the design to brightly shine. It’s all about setting the backdrop for the mic drop! Speaking of shine, reflective surfaces and bright metallic accents in copper (that ceiling!), gold, and silver are also key to this look and feel as they amplify the light and provide a beautiful, complementary effect to the overall space. What are your thoughts on the intensity and depth of darker designs? Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you bump up the glamour in your home’s interior with a divinely dark design!

Timeless Tile Design
Susan Semmelmann Interiors loves the process of designing with tile! These gorgeous inspiration images show the beauty, elegance, and polished perfection that results from defining the style and personality of a space through expert tile design. The interplay of pattern, color, and texture is amplified in smaller areas, such as the bath, which makes the effect even more dramatic and stunning. Tile selection is one of interior design's most fun and artistic aspects; it is a creative wonderland of potential avenues and stunning, high-end materials to craft a signature look for your home.

Full Hearts, Full Tables
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” ~ Melody Beattie. We at Susan Semmelmann Interiors wake every day with hearts of extreme gratitude for our families, our friends, our clients, and the many opportunities we have to expand our community and give back to those around us. The key to staying grounded and connected in our lives is to practice the art of gathering. Coming together to share life and be in one another’s presence gives meaning to our days and adds passion to our pursuits. Focusing on this intentional way of living develops deep roots of relationship, love, and commitment. As the holidays are in full swing, we are so very thankful for all the fun and festive events that bring us together. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we are committed to helping our clients design warm and welcoming gathering areas in their homes – not only for the holidays, but for year-round entertainment and enjoyment as well. Creating a culture of connection is one of our specialties, and we would love to share that gift with you! Wishing everyone a beautiful Holiday Season with full hearts and full tables!

Face Time
Check out these fabulous faces! At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love this hot trend in interior décor; face-themed design elements are unique and add a chic vibe to any interior design. There is something familiar and comforting about the organic lines and flow of the human form in any of its expressions, but the face is particularly personal, relatable, and pliable in the hands of an artist’s creative vision. Whether abstract, stylized, or more realistic in nature, facial décor adds a touch of whimsy, mystery, and attitude to a space. Using facial lines and structure with overlaid design elements results in captivating focal pieces that carry the tone of a room. Often these works of art are cause for pause and reflection, evoking different interpretations and emotions from person to person - making them perfect conversation starters! These gorgeous interiors feature this design element predominately through stunning wall art; however, complementary décor options such as sculpture, vases, upholstery, accent pillows, and playful accessories are also beautiful and inventive ways to incorporate this signature look. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you add more panache and personality to your home by featuring fun, fabulous faces!

Making Magic
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to make magic in our clients’ homes by offering a full array of custom design options, including in-house manufacturing of our Susan Semmelmann Interiors line of furnishings, drapery, bedding, and decor. Mirrored elements are one of our favorite items to design and manufacture for our clients! We see a space, envision an ideal solution, and bring it to life with our amazing team of experts – from concept to creation. Mirrors are multifaceted and multi-dimensional, with endless variations of form and functionality. A perfectly designed and placed mirror has the capacity to be the focal point of any space as it reflects light, provides a fresh and unique perspective on its surroundings, and gives a room a sense of depth and dimension that would otherwise be lost. These stunning designs perfectly showcase the mirror as an integral piece contributing to the overall look and feel of each space. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors and our Fort Worth Design Studio help you make magic in your home with the addition of a one-of-a-kind mirror design!

Bathing Bliss
Susan Semmelmann Interiors can’t stress enough how important it is to design spaces to de-stress! Bathrooms are our favorite platforms to create perfectly peaceful retreats. This space is a recharge zone, a place of relaxation and reflection, and it deserves extra special attention. We often encourage our clients to invest in this space and not overlook the details that make it a one-of-a-kind haven. Opting for a neutral color palette is a natural choice. Creating a spa-like environment in softer tones quiets visual “noise” and lays the foundation for a soothing, serene setting. When working with neutrals, design elements like texture, pattern, line, and shape take the forefront. There is also a feeling of space and expansion, allowing for extra breathing room in the atmosphere. Natural light shines as a beautiful feature in these spaces as it brings depth, dimension, and striking perspective at different times of the day and night. Understandably, this is a go-to vibe right now, peaceful and calming, but not boring by any definition. These gorgeous designs exude beautifully understated elegance and sophistication. With so much to navigate in our daily lives, having a luxurious bathroom oasis in your home is priceless. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you find your bathing bliss with a stylish, signature bathroom design!

Over the Top
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love working with our clients to add beautiful architectural elements to their design plans; arches are just the detail to take a home design over the top! Arches are a subtle yet high-impact design choice that add beautiful sophistication and personality to any home. The construction detailing process allows us to add these stunning features to the foundation of a home’s design, establishing unique character and setting the groundwork for the details that go into the finished look. Adding arches brings organic motion and flow to a space, providing visual interest and soft lines pleasing to the eye. Arches also provide a welcome interruption to the dominant linear lines inherent in the construction of a home. The juxtaposition of curves against angles is beautifully shown in this week’s gorgeous cover image. Pairing the soaring arched entry against the expanse of structured wainscoting provides a playful tension of design elements that exist in perfect harmony. This stunning feature can easily be at home in any design plan; let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you take your home design over the top with the addition of elegant, eye-catching arches!

Meditative Muse
Susan Semmelmann Interiors wants to know; what is your meditative muse? What are the things that bring harmony and tranquility to your home’s interior? A muse is defined as a source of inspiration. The term is often attributed to the works of poets and artists, and we believe designers are firmly in the same category. When working with our clients to begin the design process, we want to know their passion points, dreams, and places of peace, focusing on the soothing spaces they want in their homes and how we can best integrate them. Often, the best solutions come in the color green! These fabulous feature designs are evidence that life-giving green is on point when it comes to creating a calm, beautiful environment. Planting live trees and plants inside a home’s interior brings the grounding feeling of the outdoors in, while also creating a stunning design focal point. With proper lighting and strategic placement, this look is elegant and show-stopping all at once. Let Susan Semmelmann help inspire your meditative muse with the addition of gorgeous live greenery!

Styling for Scale
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love the process of styling for scale! Soaring ceilings and open spaces call for special treatment with design and décor choices. Open stairways, entryways, and lofted living areas are creative canvases, calling for a big-picture vision to craft a cohesive look and feel with a natural flow. These fabulous interiors highlight the beautiful, finished look resulting from fine-tuned attention to detail in grander expanses of space. A combination of design elements such as large-scale artwork, statement lighting, sculpture, and greenery are wonderful options to consider when styling the perfect scene for your home. More simplified, but just as impactful, options lean heavily on showcasing texture and material in a soothing neutral color palette. When executed well, this look packs just as much visual punch as a more décor-heavy option. Whichever design avenue you choose, this is the area to be playful and bold! The process of identifying and creating your home’s signature style is a fabulous journey worth taking. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you ace your larger design spaces by showing you how we style for scale!

Concrete Dreams
Do you dream about concrete? Susan Semmelmann Interiors does! Once used mainly for foundations and behind-the-scenes structural applications, this dreamy material is experiencing a rebirth as an artful design element for interior spaces with jaw-dropping results. Concrete is a multi-faceted material; these images show some of the gorgeous possibilities for fabulous design options. With its edgy, industrial vibe, exposed concrete lends an urban, contemporary feel. It works well with organic materials like rough-hewn beams and warm wood accents while also being entirely at home as a complement to a modern, sleek aesthetic. We love working with our clients to add concrete features during the construction detailing phase of planning and design. Whether they envision a larger-scale application or a smaller focal accent, integrating concrete features into the plans from the ground up creates a cohesive flow and continuity of design. With its moody appeal and beautifully grounding effect, concrete can add a show-stopping view to any interior. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help change your home’s view and make your concrete dreams come true! Design/image credit to @priscillamuller.arquitetura @nastyazh_3d @designsofcolorado @interior.amr
The Luxury Closet
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we can’t get enough of these luxury closet looks! Hands down one of our favorite spaces to design, closets are a creative wonderland of custom floorplans and fabulous finishes. When working with our clients we love the opportunity to walk them through the construction detailing process so specialty features like this can be incorporated into the plan from the ground up. The possibilities are truly only limited by the imagination, and our team loves to put our creativity into overdrive to help each client design a dream closet with perfect functionality and stunning, signature style. Even when working within an existing space, there are countless configuration options that can be implemented to revamp and beautify any closet. As these design inspirations clearly represent, the goal is to create a highly personalized ambiance, an environment that becomes a soothing, spa-like oasis right in the middle of the home. Are you ready to make your closet your favorite room in the house?

Partial to Purple
It’s no surprise that Susan Semmelmann Interiors is partial to purple! This multifaceted color is an absolutely stunning statement in any room. From quieter muted tones to more vibrant dramatic hues, it has the potential to infuse gorgeous depth into the color palette of any room. Think of it as a combination of opposites, an equal mix of soothing blue and electric red, with endless variations of moods and personalities. As these beautiful designs show, when tempered with neutrals, purple is a showstopping focal color, when paired with darker shades it conveys elegance with just the right touch of glamour. As the color of creativity, royalty, nobility, and luxury it is rich in history and mystique. It is a bold choice that will pay off in the huge dividend of falling more in love with your space. Is purple your color? If adding a touch of sophistication and visual drama to your interior is in your design plan, this may be the hue for you! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors and our Fort Worth Design Studio help you become partial to purple! Design/image credit @aleart_dizain @jamal_zein_ @redrobotdesign @susansemmelmanninteriors
Wild & Wonderful
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to infuse unique character and individuality into every home we design. Antler chandeliers are a fabulous décor element to create that one-of-a-kind signature look! These gorgeous interiors dispel the idea that antlers are only reserved for rustic settings. Perfectly at home in chic and elegant spaces, these chandeliers provide an element of unexpected delight, adding beautiful texture and depth with a touch of visual drama to stir up the scene. Adorned with sparkling lights, strings of translucent beads, and delicate crystals, the combination of masculine and feminine brings perfect balance to a room. While high-end artisans utilize only responsibly and sustainably sourced antlers for their work, stunning options are also available in fabulous faux materials and bespoke sculptural creations in glass. Whatever material you choose, you can’t go wrong with this look if you want a lovely cross-section of refined sophistication with a rustic edge. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors and our Fort Worth Design Studio help you define your home’s signature style with the addition of a wild and wonderful antler chandelier!
