Patriotic Palette

Susan Semmelmann Interiors wishes you and your loved ones a very Happy 4th of July! Our team is thankful each and every day to live in our great country, and today we celebrate America’s 247th birthday with cherished traditions like fireworks, barbecues, parades, and festive decorations! Whether you want to design your home with patriotic elements year-round or create special decor for national holidays, ignite your spirit by using shades of red, white, and blue. Red represents bravery and valor, white symbolizes purity and peace, while blue signifies loyalty and stability. Balance these colors harmoniously to create a visually striking and cohesive appeal. Add light fixtures that resemble stars and symbolic patterns like stripes, and display cultural art or artifacts to create a sense of patriotism without overwhelming the space. Pictured here are gorgeous inspirational images that let freedom ring! At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, your style is our style, and our expertise is to thoughtfully design a meaningful space that resonates with you and reflects your values! Happy Independence Day!

Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall…which is the best design of all? At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to amplify light and space by decorating with mirrors that become statement pieces in any room! We carry hundreds of vendor lines with gorgeous options for our clients. In addition, our in-house manufacturing capabilities allow us to custom craft dreamy creations that will perfectly represent your signature style. When designing a space, we always consider what a mirror will reflect - a beautiful living area, intriguing artwork, or other unique elements across the room. Positioning a mirror near a window or light fixture gives the illusion of expanded space as it bounces natural or artificial light to add depth and infuse the room with an irresistible glow. There is definitely an art to mirror placement that allows us to maximize the beauty of the overall design. Whether your preferred design style is sleek and modern or glamorous and ornate, your mirror of choice will become a focal point that adds personality, charm, and a touch of sophistication to your home! Allow our team at Susan Semmelmann Interiors to select the perfect mirror size and design for your space, and watch the magic of your home's design unfold!

Soak Up the Sun

Experience the outdoors while staying comfortably indoors with the addition of a sunroom! Characteristic of abundant natural light and a tranquil ambiance, sunrooms become versatile spaces for peaceful rest and rejuvenation. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we can help you create the perfect sunroom to soak up the sun and embrace your "me time" by allowing us to be part of your home design with our construction detailing services! Sunrooms are a place to escape for quiet moments to enjoy your morning coffee, get lost in an exciting novel, take an afternoon nap, or host a friend for lovely conversation. Maybe you're an artist seeking inspiration, a plant enthusiast seeking the perfect spot for lush foliage, or a yogi in search of a serene space for practice - a sunroom can fulfill all these desires and more! With expansive windows and panoramic views, sunrooms immerse you in the beauty of nature. They allow you to experience the changing seasons, from the vibrant colors of autumn to the delicate blossoms of spring, all while sheltered from the elements. In the daytime, sunrooms let you soak up the sun's rays of vitamin D without harmful UV radiation. Basking in natural light can boost mood, improve productivity, and enhance mental and physical health. In the evenings, imagine the magic of stargazing from the comfort of your home as the night sky unfolds its tapestry of twinkling stars. With a sunroom, you can create a retreat that nourishes both body and mind, promoting a sense of vitality that results from balancing daily stresses with much-needed moments of relaxation. Step into a luxurious, sun-drenched haven by allowing Susan Semmelmann Interiors to customize a sunroom to suit your passions in a simply radiant environment!

The Art of Illumination

Elevate any setting to new heights using gorgeous decorative chandeliers! At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love incorporating beautiful light fixtures made of sparkling prisms to create a soft glowing aura or dazzling brilliance! Chandelier designs follow historical events closely. Originally they were crafted purely for functional purposes, providing overhead lighting in large spaces like palaces, churches, and grand ballrooms. In the 18th century, they evolved with the advances in metalworking techniques to include more intricate designs using materials such as crystal, brass, and bronze. Chandeliers became even more elaborate later in the 19th century with the introduction of gas lighting and eventually electric lighting. This technology allowed for greater versatility in the number of bulbs, brightness, materials, and shapes, leading to more modern designs like the ones pictured in these stunning inspirational images. Whether you appreciate the timeless and ornate beauty of a classic crystal chandelier or prefer the modern and avant-garde designs of contemporary pieces, these alluring suspended light fixtures continue to captivate us with their elegance and ability to create an extraordinary atmosphere! Allow Susan Semmelmann Interiors to reflect your radiant style through a custom-designed chandelier! Design/image credit to @thehauteinteriors @elitedesignstudio

Wallpaper Wonders

Transform your walls into gallery-worthy works of art using versatile wallpapers! One of our favorite ways to elevate bedroom spaces at Susan Semmelmann Interiors is to professionally install wallpaper from one of our many luxury vendor lines. These wallpapers are crafted with the utmost attention to detail and precision, from selecting high-quality materials like silk or metallics to the printing technique used to make these exceptional decorative products. Pictured here are three bedrooms we designed for our clients using fantastic stripe and floral motifs! Embrace the power of wallpaper to create a breathtaking accent wall that steals the show, a jaw-dropping ceiling that makes you want to look up and gaze in awe, or a cohesive backdrop that ties all the elements of your room together. The world of wallpaper is never-ending! Embossed textures add depth and richness to your walls, creating a visual and tactile aesthetic. Pair these with smooth surfaces like glossy furniture to add dimension to any room. From custom colors to bespoke patterns, our team at Susan Semmelmann Interiors can order any wallpaper design to bring your vision to life and ensure that your space reflects your style!

Elegant Al Fresco

The summer season is upon us, and it's time to spruce up your outdoor dining table with a splash of cheerfulness for Memorial Day Weekend! The warm weather and longer daylight hours create the perfect setting for al fresco meals with your family and friends. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to create visual interest in any space with accessories. The elements pictured in these gorgeous tablescapes capture the essence of summertime bliss! Create this look in your backyard through the magic of accessorizing with colorful dining decor. Start by choosing a tablecloth or runner with a lively pattern to set the stage. Next, adorn your table with mix-and-match dinnerware and napkins in coordinating shades or patterns. You can tie them with ribbon for an extra touch of charm! Showcase your creativity with centerpieces that embody the joyful spirit of summer like fresh flowers and fruits. As the sun sets, luminous accents such as candles or fairy lights will infuse the area with a warm ambiance. To complete the look, add textured cushions in outdoor-friendly fabrics to provide a cozy spot for conversation. Voila! You now have an enchanting outdoor oasis where you may enjoy seasonal delights and soak up the sun. Happy summer dining! Design/image credit to @casadopassadico @unetablebytania @julianleaver

Kitchen Sidekick

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we believe that your home should be shared with the people you love through the art of entertaining. However, the secret to hosting the perfect dinner party is not actually in the sauce… it's having a prep kitchen for the behind-the-scenes hustle and bustle, ensuring the main event remains calm, cool, and collected. Acting as an ancillary space near the dining room, a prep kitchen allows for a more spacious flow and feel in the main kitchen area so you can welcome your guests with open arms and no distractions. Serving several courses? We suggest adding plenty of counter space, easy accessibility to appliances, and upper and lower storage cabinets to help your hosting game stay on point and organized. We've featured several beautifully inspired designs, including two sleek, chic, and clutter-free prep kitchens that our team at Susan Semmelmann Interiors had the pleasure of designing for the 2020 and 2022 Fort Worth Magazine Dream Homes. With our construction detailing expertise on your project design from start to finish, the possibilities of what we can incorporate into your prep kitchen and every room of your home are endless. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors put some prep in your step and dazzle your guests from cocktails through desserts with a gorgeous custom prep kitchen!

What’s Cooking?

Need a little extra motivation to whip up your family’s favorite meals? Susan Semmelmann Interiors can help you put a shine on your kitchen design by adding a unique vent hood that ties your kitchen look together, creates fabulous functionality, and brings beautiful artistry to the environment. Vent hoods can provide additional lighting to your range, regulate the temperature of your kitchen area, and inspire you to cook a wider variety of meals by clearing the air as you sauté, sear, caramelize, and simmer! We offer fully custom designs and luxury vendor lines to fit every need. All four of these featured vent hoods were specifically selected for our clients to create a signature design element in each kitchen. As seen in the first photo, our talented CAD team brought this stunning stainless steel and copper vent hood to life, pulling inspiration from other copper accents in the home to complement the overall look and feel. This is a perfect example of how allowing us to be part of your home design from the ground up keeps the aesthetic quality cohesive between spaces. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you cook up a vent hood design for your kitchen that is as beautiful as it is useful! Design/image credit to @susansemmelmanninteriors

Tree Houses

Susan Semmelmann Interiors loves to design and incorporate signature botanical décor into our clients' homes. Greenery warms a room and adds a spark of life-giving color to spaces designed with neutral or monochrome color palettes. Although many prefer tabletop floral and botanical accents, we are crazy over these gorgeous interiors, with full-size trees stealing the spotlight! The effect is multifaceted; peaceful and relaxing, while also hitting the major wow-factor appeal out of the park. This look can be attained in so many creative ways. These features can be built into the home's structure during the design and construction phases. Whether integrating a space to plant a live indoor garden or creating an atrium effect by adding glass walls around an existing tree or garden, the results are stunning. Potted trees are also a fun option to bring this natural design element to life. We always love opportunities to bring the outside in, providing a calming vibe and meditative muse within the home. Faux options are also fair game! If it is the look you want without the maintenance, studies show that even the appearance of greenery and foliage soothes the soul with its grounding back-to-nature effect. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors help you bring a big dose of nature to your home's interior by turning your house into a tree house!

Modern History

At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to take classic design features and add a chic, modern twist! Wainscoting has a long and storied history in architecture and interior design. Wainscot paneling was initially more functional than decorative—adding interior protection and insulation from damp and cold stone walls and acting as an aesthetic solution to the resulting water discoloration of the lower wall sections. During this time, cotton, linen, and marble were the materials of choice, but as the idea gained popularity, most traditional wainscoting materials were sourced from oak, specifically referred to as wainscoting oak. This era ushered in wainscoting styles featuring intricate panel designs and richly ornamented wooden finishes. Today, wainscoting continues to be a wildly popular decorative feature, as seen in these elegant designs! With a nod to history and tradition, these neutral interiors highlight a sleek and modern update to the look. With floor-to-ceiling applications, the use of simple, clean, low-profile panels allows for just the right amount of texture and detail to make a huge visual impact on each space. Notice the touches of flair and flourish that bring each design to life without looking overly done. While wood paneling remains the go-to for most projects, materials such as tile, wallpaper, and metal can also be used to create gorgeous wainscoting effects. Let Susan Semmelmann Interiors bring modern history to your home’s design with a world of wainscoting options! Design/image credit to @casadopassadico @thomaspheasant @casadopassadico @homes_society

The results are stunning and seamless and worthy of sanctuary status! The same can be accomplished in any room of the home with customizations available every step of the way, from concept to creation.

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!

From the foundation to the final product, our construction detailing services allow us to bring your master plan to fruition.

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.
