Around the World Designs from Design Star

By Vern Yip

Black and white with a fresh infusion of lime green is the beginning of a great take on Mexico by Trish. Like Stephanie, Trish forgoes stereotypical depictions of Mexico and chooses to focus on the high-end, minimalist Mexico that is often showcased in the country's beautiful resorts. Trish has the right balance of textural and smooth, contrasting a floor that resembles worn slate, an interesting coffee table covered in bamboo and textured fabric on her upholstery with perfectly graphic wall forms and highly polished mirror shelves to reflect candlelight. By never going too far in one direction or the other, Trish is able to put together an incredibly harmonious space that feels balanced and innovative all at the same time.
