MOOD LIGHTING
“to make a space
comfortable, make sure it’s
liveable. every space in my
homes are meant to be used.
even for my two teenage boys,
nothing is off-limits. i love
mixing combinations of
fabrics, furniture, antiques and
lighting. When designing a
room i always start with the
lighting. Light fixtures can truly
transform a space and are an
easy way to update a room
from season to season. in
a bedroom i prefer table
lamps that give a nice glow,
as opposed to using harsh
overhead lighting. i think it
creates a more tranquil
ambience, ideal for
lounging and resting.” >6
STYLE PEDIGREE
“i have been very fortunate to
be surrounded by powerful
and inspiring women
my entire life. Many of my
decorating lessons came from
my grandmother and my
mother. Both loved to
decorate and i inherited much
of my passion and design
aesthetic from them.
they taught me the
importance of consistency in
a home and i inherited their
love of classic, timeless pieces.
i also inherited my love of
gold from my grandmother.
it's in every one of my homes
and is the core of
the aerin brand across
home, beauty and
fashion accessories.”
