Since opening my studio in the South Bay, I've met many new friends, trades and fellow business owners, so I thought I would re-introduce myself... Hey there, I'm Genevieve Trousdale, an interior designer raised in Louisiana, schooled in Georgia (go Dawgs), living all over Los Angeles for the past near 20 years, now located in Manhattan Beach, California. My love for interior design was influenced by two generations of discerning familial role models with exquisite taste. I've traveled to cities, states and other continents turning client dreams (and my own career dreams) into reality with sophistication, whimsy and a seasoned eye for detail. Whether it's sourcing unique pieces or juggling a thousand details at once, I'm intrinsically passionate for making your space uniquely yours. I love working with families in SoCal and my local community, creating interiors that feel just right for them. 4 years ago, I founded Circaphiles, a network for designers anywhere and of all levels to easily find resources, connect and learn the business and the trade, together. These "feathers in my hat" have allowed me the honor of a seat on the Institute of Classical Art & Architecture events committee, where we produce prolific educational programs focused on decorative arts, architecture and classical landmarks. In 2023, the LA Times awarded me in the Top 40 Under 40 interior designers in the city, which was pretty neat to this small-town girl. 😊 That's a bit about me but I would love to get to know you! What lights you up? Where is the craziest place you've found a piece for your home?

My client just became the trusted home design expert. Her client wanted golden tones, so she commissioned Golden Ratio. The result? Happy dance. “Absolutely gorgeous, that’s all I can say!!! I love it, and I get so many compliments on it. My talented designer chose it for me—everything she picks is gorgeous!! Thank you.” Lesson: Art has the power to transform your client's space. Here’s how to make it work for you: 1. Choose art that tells a story your client connects with. 2. Pick the right size and frame so it fits perfectly. 3. Always go for quality—it’s what people remember most. 4. When you pick art, you’re not just decorating, you’re creating a home people love. P.S: Interior designers don’t just decorate—they transform spaces into stories. They pour their heart into every detail. P.S. Designers make your vision of perfect space come true, remember to say thanks. What do you think of this design+ art ?

Never do this mistake in interior design! A few years back, I spoke to a couple who had very recently had their new home designed by an interior designer. They showed me photos of their home interiors and it looked lovely. Great work, I should say. As the conversation went on, I noticed that they were a bit upset, frustrated. I tried to understand what was running in their minds and finally got the answer. They had not designed their house based on what they needed but on simply following trends. Big mistake. This is a major problem I keep seeing at many places. The project not only looks outdated in sometime but the whole purpose gets diluted. I always provide my clients with these 3 things if they feel they want a more timeless design 1. Function First This may sound very basic but this is the most important part that should not be overlooked. Your home should work for you, not the other way around! How are you going to use your room, think about it when designing. 2. Neutrals I agree bold colours are sometimes fun. But neutrals like beige, cream or white never go out of fashion. If you are unsure, this can be a safe option. They can also create a perfect base to add pops of color with pillows, art, or furniture. 3. Minimise clutter Remember, it all starts with a clutter free environment. These days many are preferring minimalism, which is again a timeless choice. Make sure just to have few statements that reflect your style and remove the rest. What do you think are any other timeless design ideas?

I tripled by revenue from designing beautiful homes! This is how I did it. I started my interior design journey in 2016. Being in this industry these years, I understood one of the best things an interior designer could do. It is- delivering an experience and not just a product. The moment I understood this, that was real success for me, professionally and personally! To me, interior design is more than just following trends or painting walls. It's about infusing your story into every corner of a space. I didn’t know that this could impact my business so much. So, I started to focus more on designing environments that evoke memories and emotions. Whether it’s a cozy living room or an inspiring office. Sure, furniture placement and color palettes matter. But is that all? No, I look at it in a deeper way. That comfortable armchair now has become your perfect reading nook. That one perfect lamp has become one of the reasons for your productive day. They all contribute to your experience. The best part is thinking this way has made me a better designer and an entrepreneur. Every project is a chance to learn about a new person, their needs, and their dreams. Trust me. It has made me more creative, resourceful and business savvy! It has grown my business in very powerful ways. -I have gathered a network of happy clients just by exceeding their expectations. -I can partner with local businesses like furniture stores or contractors to offer clients a wider range of options and streamline the design process. It's a win-win for everyone! -Amazing transformations and client testimonials on social media. They build trust and draw in new clients looking for similar experiences. -By focusing on feelings and experiences, I've not only boosted my creativity and client satisfaction, but my revenue and clientele have skyrocketed! I just don’t handover a project, I deliver an experience, an unforgettable and a memorable one. What are your thoughts on this? I am Salman, an interior designer and I am here to help you. #architecture #interiordesign #tips #business

"Masculine married to a feminine home." A spur of interest in interior art. Following thoughts. The intersection of analysis and interior design is the image integration. A composition of many parts made one. The image integration is as important as a location is to any tale told. It gives it a sense of distinction of a new thing or new information to be told of an already well-known theme. Say of the housing experience as something more than where you go to resign at the end of the day (it can be a converted barn modeled after a converted home from a barn in the UK and intended to give you that modified feel say as you would living in the UK, but living in Memphis, Tennessee, in the USA, with all sorts of amenities such as a man-made lake). In interior design and construction the role of a location is very important for it's design image but it's also very important say reading through any form of literature. It's what makes an overall theme as old as time as relevant today as it was back in the day. It can be set in a marsh, a lurch, or corporate location, and all providing new information to the experience of love that perhaps we had not known ever before. It's all vital in as far as an image composition is made up of many parts. We're informed of new ways of putting together an image either by interior art and it's variety of items melded into a mosaic or by literary analysis that we are informed of new ways of looking at age-old themes. https://lnkd.in/dfEZc862

When it comes to real estate in Calgary, standing out is key 🗝️. But how can a simple coat of paint radically transform your space and potentially boost your property's appeal? Color trends in interior design are not just a passing whim—they're a strategic choice that can captivate buyers or make sellers feel more at home. This year, we're seeing a kaleidoscope of colors that can speak volumes about a property's character. Let's dive into the hottest hues of the year: 1️⃣ Soothing Blues – These shades bring a sense of calm, perfect for bedrooms and baths. 2️⃣ Earthy Greens – They invoke a nurturing ambiance, ideal for living spaces. 3️⃣ Bold Blacks – Used as an accent, they infuse sophistication into any corner. 4️⃣ Warm Neutrals – They create a welcoming backdrop, making a space feel larger. Here’s how to incorporate these trends effectively: 🖌️ Feature Walls: A single wall painted in a bold color can change the energy of the entire room. 🖼️ Accents and Accessories: If you're not ready to commit to paint, infuse color with pillows, art, and decor. 🧹 A Fresh Exterior: First impressions matter. A fresh coat on the exterior can work wonders. 🔨 Trim and Detailing: Don't overlook the details—doors, trims, and molding in a complementary color can refine the overall aesthetic. In my time at truLOCAL and Rise Real Estate, understanding client preferences and applying industry trends always set us ahead. These color trends are more than just about aesthetics; they're a strategic move in your real estate playbook. Calgary professionals, how have you seen color enhance a property's marketability? #CalgaryRealEstate #ColorTrends #InteriorDesign #PropertyMarketing #RealEstateProfessionals

3 common mistakes that will cost you the MOST! 💰 We see loads of mistakes that are made when people renovate their homes, but these are the ones that are the most difficult to correct: 🚫Starting with a very low budget and taking shortcuts that seriously affect the quality and the aesthetics of the work 🚫Hiring an interior designer very late into construction, or even once you’ve already moved in, which leaves very little space for creative work 🚫Or not hiring a designer at all, thinking this would save you money - BUT a good designer can save you much more than you think. It’s much costlier to do things twice, deal with bad planning, and dead space To learn more about our interior design services 👉🏻contact us today! #interiordesign #interiordesigndubai #customfurniture #bespokefurniture #ProjectSociety #interiordesigner
