With years of experience transforming spaces, Yesim brings her unique vision to this challenge, showcasing her talent for creating stunning interiors across diverse styles. She'll be tackling Global Nomad, Modern Minimalist, and Traditional with a Twist.
Global Nomad
Yesim's Vision: a style that blends elements from different cultures and regions, creating a unique and eclectic space that reflects a love for travel and exploration. It's characterized by mixing patterns, textures, and materials from various parts of the world, often incorporating found objects and artisan crafts. The style aims to create a sense of warmth, comfort, and individuality.
Total cost: Came in under the 5k budget here at $3,769 for all 9 of these key style pieces below!.. room in the budget for even more!
Modern Minimalist
Yesim's Vision: Modern minimalist interior design is a style that emphasizes simplicity, functionality, and uncluttered spaces using a limited color palette and clean lines. It focuses on essential elements like light, form, and materials to create a sense of freedom and relaxation. The key principle is "less is more," with a focus on carefully chosen, high-quality items that enhance the modern appeal of a space.
Total cost: Came in under the 5k budget here at $4,802 for all 9 of these key style pieces below! Closer but still under.
Traditional with a Twist
Yesim's Vision: A "traditional with a twist" interior design aesthetic combines classic elements with modern updates, creating a space that is both timeless and contemporary. This style often incorporates traditional architectural details, like wainscoting and crown molding, but with a modern twist, such as cleaner lines, simpler color palettes, or the introduction of modern furniture pieces.
Total cost: Came in right below the 5k budget here at $4,903 for all 9 of these key style pieces below. All pieces pieces are great elements to help showcase this style.
