Gone are the days when a grand entryway was a symbol of wealth and status. Nowadays, modern design trends prioritize practicality, space efficiency, and a seamless connection between the entryway and the rest of your home. If you're looking to update your entryway, it's important to know the interior design trends to avoid that can consume valuable space and compromise your living experience. In this guide, we'll go over some entryway trends to avoid and offer tips on how to create a welcoming and inviting entryway that suits your lifestyle. Here are interior design trends to avoid for entryways: Large, extravagant, two or three-story grand entry halls were popular in the past, but now they're outdated and impractical. These types of entryways can consume valuable usable space, making it challenging to blend them with the rest of your home. They can also be a hassle to maintain and decorate, particularly for people who want to infuse their personality into the space. Instead, modern design trends lean toward creating welcoming, inviting entryways that flow seamlessly into the rest of the home.

In addition to the grand entryways, white and monochromatic entryways are an Interior design trends to avoid.

Finding the perfect NYC apartment building is no easy task. There are thousands of buildings throughout the city in all different boroughs, each with its own unique charm. As an NYC Interior Designer, I've grown pretty familiar with many of the top apartment buildings in the city, along with some of the hottest up and coming luxury buildings. Today, I wanted to go over some of our favorite buildings and why we love working there -- take a look! Luxury NYC Apartment Buildings: 111 W 57th Street Located right across the street from the Kati Curtis Design studio, 111 W 57th towers above the New York skyline on Billionaire's row. The impeccable SHoP Architects have br0ught a refined and innovative design to life in the residences at 111 W 57th, with unmatched views of Central Park. Each unit is highly spacious, and residents can enjoy a private porte-cochere, 24-hour doorman and concierge, an 82-foot indoor pool, and luxury terrace for enjoying fresh air and entertaining guests al fresco. 108 Leonard Secondly, we have 108 Leonard. Located in Tribeca, 108 Leonard was built in 1898 as the former home of the New York Life Insurance Company. In 2019, architects HLZA and SLCE restored this stunning building to an art deco dream with luxury residences. Amenities include an incredible double-height lobby, concierge, indoor pool, fitness center, wine cellar, and rooftop garden. These residences are state of the...
One of the most common questions I get asked as an NYC interior designer is, "How do I mix interior design styles?" Many times, clients have family heirloom pieces they want to include, but don't want the design to feel dated. Or, it may be a very modern apartment that they want to make feel a little more traditional. Here at Kati Curtis Design, we pride ourselves in having a very layered approach to interior design; it's what makes our special sauce (so to speak). So today we wanted to share some of our best practices for creating a balanced, layered look with different interior design styles. Take a look! Using Color to Balance Different Interior Design Styles The first thing we look at when creating a design is the color palette. No matter what design styles you are trying to mix, color is one of the common themes you can look at to bring it all together. One of the easiest ways to do this is to work within a color scale. Take a color, like blue for example, and mix in different lighter and darker shades throughout the room. Since the colors are all in the same scheme, it helps balance the mix of styles in the space. On the other hand, you can also work with complimentary colors. If you look at a color wheel, the colors opposite from each other are complimentary. Take, for...
As we move past the crazy year that was 2020 into, hopefully, a brighter 2021 - we can't help but look back on some of the popular interior design trends from the past year. While there are definitely some that we appreciate, many trends we feel are a bit outdated now and should stay behind. Take a look at some of our thoughts on last year's interior design trends and what to replace them with. Interior Design Trends to Leave in 2020: Â White Kitchens White kitchens have had their moment. Minimal kitchens have been all the rage for the last few years, but the minimal plain kitchens should stay back in 2020. Instead of all white everything, I encourage you to try colorful cabinets and a patterned tile backsplash! You get much more visual interest, and it will appear cleaner longer with out so much stark white everywhere. Noguchi Lamps If you go on any design website or publication in the last year, you've probably seen at least 20 rooms with the large round Noguchi lamp. Back in 2020, the Noguchi lamp was one of the hot interior design trends for big visual impact without feeling busy. However, it is now 2021 and it's safe to say we've all had enough. Instead of the Noguchi lamp, try beautiful chandeliers instead! You can find some beautiful vintage ones with a lot of character or use something a...
Working with an interior designer is something a lot of people don't know much about. Today we are going to answer some of the top interior designer questions asked at Kati Curtis Design. Take a look! How many years has Kati Curtis Design been in business? 16 years. I founded Kati Curtis Design in 2005 after 12 years of working in top architecture and engineering firms. My love for design started when I was very young as I watched my father, who was a general contractor, and my uncle, who was a top California architect, delve into blueprints and floor plans. My career started in commercial work, where I specialized in medical interiors and eventually working in top architecture firms in Washington DC and San Francisco. However, I felt as though I wasn’t getting to directly impact the human experience with these design projects. That drive led me to residential design which is what we do here at Kati Curtis Design. Since then, our team has expanded to include multiple interior designers, project coordinators, marketing specialists, and administrative support that make our operations run smoothly and deliver the highest quality interior design projects for our clients. Where is Kati Curtis Design located? Our NYC Interior Design Firm is located in Midtown Manhattan right by Columbus Circle, off of Central Park. Our address is 130 W 57th Street, Unit 14C. Originally, our office used to be a shoe showroom, which we...
