Beam Me Up!
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love the look and vibe of ceiling beams! The versatility of this design element makes it a utility player in any style of home. Contemporary, rustic, traditional, modern, farmhouse, industrial, and beyond, there is a style of ceiling beam that is a perfect fit for every look. Beams add texture, pattern, and visual interest to a home’s interior, bringing depth, dimension, and warmth to the environment. Traditionally speaking, ceiling beams are structural elements, wooden or steel joists left exposed instead of being covered or hidden above the ceiling. However, non-structural beams can be added strictly for decorative purposes if desired. Although the beamed aesthetic can be implemented at any point during the design process, construction detailing allows us to include them in the plans from the ground up, allowing for a more integrated and finished result. These stunning images prove that beams can truly be a showstopping addition to a variety of interior styles. Grab some inspiration and dream up your plans! Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors have you “beaming up” to home design heaven by adding this gorgeous dimension to your interior!

Entertainment Central
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, designing beautiful kitchens brings us miles of smiles! Kitchens are entertainment central, and as such, need to have proper flow and functionality while providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. Designing an elegant, modern kitchen involves several important considerations, including layout, color scheme, materials, and finishes. A neutral palette is always the best starting point, creating a timeless look that will never go out of style. Neutral tones also leave options open to play with pattern and texture through materials such as tile, wood, stone, or metal. Modern design emphasizes clean lines and simple shapes. Straight lines for cabinets, countertops, and appliances provide continuous, uninterrupted sight lines. We love the hot new trend of seamless flat panel cabinetry – the effect is ultra sleek and minimalist. Gorgeous! Notice in these stunning designs that outlets and switches are hidden to ensure there is no break in the view. To add drama, we love incorporating bold features like statement light fixtures, unique backsplashes, or eye-catching hardware for that added wow factor. Modern kitchens also prioritize efficiency, so we maximize storage by utilizing vertical space and including innovative storage solutions, such as pull-out pantry racks and built-in organizers. Susan Semmelmann Interiors can help you create a beautiful and functional modern kitchen that will turn your home into entertainment central!

Vaulted Views
At Susan Semmelmann Interiors we love showcasing natural light in the interiors we design! Inviting natural light into a room provides an ever-changing landscape of shape, shadow, and shine. Vaulted living areas with floor-to-ceiling windows make for a stunning design backdrop as the light pours in and the artistry of nature is showcased during every season, incorporating the beauty of outside with the design of the inside. As you can see in these gorgeous images, the high ceilings and the expanse of windows not only create visual drama, but also become a major players in the aesthetic of each room, the outside view and quality of light have a significant influence on the interior design elements, from flooring and fabrics to art and accessories, and beyond. The ability to plan out these spaces during the construction detailing process allows us to help our clients bring out the wow factor in every room of their homes, ensuring that we maximize all opportunities to highlight the best features, both inside and out. We also work with many clients who want to transition the darker design elements in their existing homes to a brighter, more uplifting palette; with the right design choices, there is always a way to utilize the natural light in any room to reflect and brighten the environment. More and more, we are finding that our clients prefer open spaces and access to the outdoors, both visually and physically.

If entryways are considered the “business card” of the home, these gorgeous designs would get an immediate callback! At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to help our clients create spotlight moments of warmth and welcome in their homes, and stunning entry tables are a fantastic foundation to build upon. In a spacious foyer, a center table is a beautiful addition – providing a fabulous opportunity to add layers of complementary décor while enhancing flow and functionality. With 360 degrees of design potential, the options are endless! With such a high-profile location, the size and scale of the table are key so that the space won’t be overwhelmed. Beyond that, the choice of table can range from bold and sculptural to elegant and understated, depending on the desired look and feel. The table itself is an art form, it sets the tone for the space, so we encourage our clients to play up their personalities and have fun with the selection process! Through the construction detailing process, we can further customize the environment by adding statement lighting, whether it be ambient, directional lighting, a bespoke chandelier, or beautiful natural light via windows, doors, and skylights.

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!

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!

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!
