Finding just the right lighting is one of the most difficult things for me as an interior designer, but when it happens it is magic. I think of the room as the perfect little black dress with the perfect cut, the one that dresses up or down according to the occasion, and the perfect lighting fixture is the jewelry that finishes off and compliments the little black dress.</div> <div align="justify"> <a href="http://www.patriciagrayinc.com/docs/Patricia-Gray-WestCoast.pdf" target="_blank"><img alt="image" border="0" height="421" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKNB28ic3xXKlrPTL6CDo97pz2AZcV5xVm4L5tAOPm33uHpenJ2fzuAV3cy1mC6tHhL1twKb7_wLfCjDxc99EB56Feh5AfyTeZZb7KuMBEsC91ns0SafejuahES9kSYCZCq1-qUM3sztFV/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Patricia Gray | Interior Design Vancouver " width="620" /></a>I have written an article for <a href="http://www.patriciagrayinc.com/docs/Patricia-Gray-WestCoast.pdf" target="_blank">West Coast Homes and Design</a>, a supplement in the Vancouver Sun Newspaper,on how the right lighting is one of the most important aspects in achieving atmosphere in a home. Lighting is a discipline all to itself and often is one of the most important parts of an interior. Bad lighting can ruin a good interior: good lighting can almost salvage a bad one. For example….. <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.ca/2012/04/let-there-be-light.html" target="_blank">(more)</a></div> <a href="http://www.patriciagrayinc.com/docs/Patricia-Gray-WestCoast.pdf" target="_blank"><img alt="image" border="0" height="616" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6UP7Ond289cJdXO8Nto6QZv0VClK6wNaQ43_CMSOrebjwxUXxm-zO2c1vAo4AEaBFKCA-HlnO7Jbkr_ASwxljE-Eo2m2fTEjWaMUleELSwJo2UslaBq3r4Avqhk3te2e0ob8-v8w3pBhU/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Patricia Gray | Interior Design Vancouver " width="620" /></a> In kitchens it is particularly important to get the lighting right as food preparation along with the eating and social aspects that go on in this room are a vital part of our lives and involve all of our senses. Kitchens need to be well lit with good overall ambient lighting and task lighting over islands and countertops. Add a little fun and pizazz with accent lighting as I did over this island. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheFJzdYvIFvkBI-oslcPNldc_qbuL3eHwRmSEsnTomyn_S2yatTUh62PdwWz3ILTPad9GigwPWdg_rRRyxicDVZ3cW0_Fjhl9RtOjs8VdD6qjmBizEaaNFKgmdOe8ieLCM2OT_ZkP9qOhN/s1600-h/image%25255B60%25255D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="469" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVCoN3J11SmcMCAKJnIjVpWWDMhmdPd4DdCiD5ysryKC0vJ5Xwe4axwTk0M5kZXHU9gXjuqty0nIjEmpnZE5mcJ46tryIjWBkwft-Dl40psy9LOMgXl6p5xpFtNdJMkoP4Zvp8yGSrPKO9/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Patricia Gray | Interior Design Vancouver " width="620" /></a> Lighting in a bathroom and bedroom needs to make you feel refreshed and energetic in the morning, ready to face the challenges of the day ahead, but at night should engender a feeling of relaxation and harmony. In a bathroom, good lighting for putting on make-up should come evenly from either side of the mirror so shadows are not cast on the face. The rest of the room needs to be lit evenly from overhead, but be careful of placing recessed pot lights that are directly over your head when standing in front of a mirror or else you will have shadows under your eyes. I put the lights for the make-up lights and the overhead lights on different switches to further enhance the options to create different moods. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzppEIKXBUcFogJ2VkSuEbGjZeuwxxJG3oNjAXnPDLF7EQdcX3iZ2O6bMucppds2N8G1L4SbizQbwG15L_fwnXfhNxTmLcAvwlhAq2hyphenhypheniiMxk9QVaFE9_fycKEBM5z6Uq6HdsxB4zPEhuN/s1600-h/image%25255B121%25255D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQJRv6Y1qAX4ciP_Emhi-h_CdaKKDCMe5_DoIPe-pANqzhGmjcsW6gR2sRDnXiv-0i2-0et8YeZhslVFyTKV2mVdxDKeAHDku5xHZP_ljj0RHibcnr0JHDrlYHlIG2Ju9Ouqse2IF-mu6R/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Patricia Gray | Interior Design Vancouver " width="307" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWpZF-8l2LtK6plblebwRnwypUl-ixp9X365poVulp3-ehMZKP_Gd3dvfYlAQnPqoaXrQ6sf2y9DMU-KzmrOtSwEg9AcEHJAExSHvEpHvD0VPWfSrN-hNXnLVoUmo3MaDdNml5eEv3wBGy/s1600-h/image%25255B120%25255D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDOySyYCRMYK-eeIR_ezHnWf8pqNmOS9tYO0z19ULYi3XTfO-_uqTRsBrMiMCk9QLTKjG_sl5aFx9TF6UbzmBd50qEYQQZj-iPqNUAhmDzkJTiT_II2rsmGa8xY3Csy1kKl_JPJPoruZE9/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Patricia Gray | Interior Design Vancouver " width="304" /></a> Left: Wall mounted LED swing-arm lamps were used in this bedroom for task light.

Gray’s recent installation at Vancouver’s The Erickson—a 17-storey residential tower designed by and named for world-renowned architect Arthur Erickson—illustrates her complete-service approach. When a busy San Francisco couple commissioned Patricia Gray Inc. to turn their spacious two-bedroom, three-bath condominium into a second home for impromptu visits, the designer looked to a luxury, five-star hotel for her inspiration. “They wanted a home that they could come to on the spur of the moment and everything would be ready for them,” she explains. “I set up flower delivery, maid service, laundry service and concierge service, so the clients can just send emails [to these service providers] when they decide to come to Vancouver. When they leave, the maid service cleans everything up.” <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com" target="_blank"><img alt="LUXURY HOME PATRICIA GRAY INC 2" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigxWqok2zkgrCCxQv9Ge2fSqTZOuYs3Dpx4Tru6UMu-sq7kTUWemJmy4P-khGW8m-CIsHBg0TewiRlvjqjKRPI4bwvA_QsOVNmQFbWGUoebGHW9Ve6xY2LOsBBkfkHZWGcvb6DbDdQmCQk/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="LUXURY HOME PATRICIA GRAY INC 2" width="547" /></a>Limestone countertops and backsplashes, <a href="http://siematic.com" target="_blank">SieMatic</a> cabinets and <a href="http://miele.com" target="_blank">Miele</a> appliances give the kitchen a modern, European look. So how does Gray, an award-winning designer who studied at the <a href="http://www.parsons-paris.com/pages/detail/279/Programs" target="_blank">Parsons School of Art and Design</a> in Paris and the <a href="http://www.unife.it/unife-en/dipartimento/architettura" target="_blank">University of Ferrara</a> in Italy, determine clients’ design preferences and needs—something they often don’t know themselves? “I arrive at that through my extensive interview process,” she explains. “I ask them how they’re going to live in their space, what their entertainment requirements are, what their family requirements are [and so on]. Then, I get to know them, and the style evolves by osmosis.” Thoroughly acquainting herself with clients’ lifestyles at the project’s onset enables Gray to develop a complete design concept for them, “so they know exactly what their home is going to look like when it’s finished, before we even start,” she says. “Everything’s designed and priced. Then, they approve the concept and the budget, and I proceed from there,” ultimately handing over a completed, customized new home. But, as every experienced designer knows, the journey from the initiation of a project to its completion can be filled with challenges. “There’s a lot of coordination to do with all the different suppliers and sub trades involved,” Gray explains. “It’s one thing to be able to design something very beautiful, and it’s another thing to be able to execute it. The great challenge is in the execution—it’s like putting together a gigantic jigsaw puzzle. All the pieces have to fit together, and everybody’s got to work together to bring it to fruition.” <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com" target="_blank"><img alt="LUXURY HOME PATRICIA GRAY INC 3" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQiUkxNn_KoQrv8QnwsXrqOjG2bIKG1M6G5ayTqbgNp43_-vdcps7SE06cBQLlEvokqFvBBaCZoj62CIu6gXXsSLutLt0ZuE4p82Mt2bYmpW7o03BBNBj-WUiFDkymzedQsSAym_k343E/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="LUXURY HOME PATRICIA GRAY INC 3" width="623" /></a>Adjacent to the kitchen, accordion-style doors open the entire 20-foot width of the balcony. Views of the downtown Vancouver skyline and the mountains can be seen in the distance. Patricia Gray Inc. custom pillows in <a href="http://sunbrella.com" target="_blank">Sunbrella</a> fabric.  For Gray, working with high-level tradespeople and artisans is key to a successful, problem-free renovation. “I have quite a wonderful group of people that I’ve built up over the years that can execute my designs,” she says. “I think that’s one of the bonuses my clients have in me—my intellectual knowledge, all the years of experience I’ve had and having the right people working with me. I have a wonderful contractor who I can totally count on. Everyone I work with shows up when they’re supposed to and completes their jobs on time and on budget.” Creating custom-designed furnishings like tables, seating, media and wall units, pillows and artwork further enables Gray to create personalized spaces for clients. “I have a millwork company, an upholstery workroom, a drapery workroom,” she explains, adding, “What I do is very unique and very specific for each client. I like to think of my design as couture. Everything is custom-designed and made specifically for each client.” This penchant for designing home furnishings has led to a new business venture for Gray: a line of custom furniture based on some of the limited edition, custom pieces that she’s created for past projects. At press time, possible manufacturing partners and marketing initiatives for the line were still being worked out, according to Gray. <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com" target="_blank"><img alt="LUXURY HOME PATRICIA GRAY INC 4" border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHsGvDxYUGyOZPATJpP1AsKAD0bXSaAmSgYCwrt_AS255YJ0COBCvBNp9PUu_w41I8m9hc1egdYfjbQPjUdjOBrqGrbheb8vBRep6K_3um-nyrA5O9zLFJCUkwBJJBMQCQBRteD4XsABgE/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="LUXURY HOME PATRICIA GRAY INC 4" width="530" /></a>The master bedroom is on a corner, with windows along two walls.

Creating elegant, personalized spaces will no doubt continue to be Gray’s métier. When asked what she considers the most rewarding part of her job, she quickly responds, “When I hand over the completed project to my clients—when all the months of work are finished, and they see everything in its beauty and perfection.” Discover more about <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/" target="_blank">Patricia Gray.</a> <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com" target="_blank">PATRICIA GRAY INC</a> is an award winning interior design firm writing about lifestyle and WHAT'S HOT in the world of interior design, architecture, art and travel. <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">2011 © Patricia Gray | Interior Design Blog™</a>

Furniture IS Lifestyle - DEDON LAUNCHES “COMING HOME”, A LIMITED-EDITION BOOK BY BRUCE WEBER

Building on themes that Weber developed for the current DEDON advertising campaign, Coming Home is an exploration into the meaning of home and the feelings we hold for it.
