LA-based designer Brigette Romanek is known for her relaxed yet glamorous decor. Living in a wonderful home in Laurel Canyon, filled with indoor trees, curved furniture and a sense of inviting sophistication, her home embodies her take on design. She was in the spotlight for having completed the interior design on her friend Gwyneth Paltrow's modern home. It is full of her signature touches - light, airiness, rounded shapes and more indoor trees. She has also created schemes for Beyonce and has recently designed furniture for Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams.
Brigette Romanek believes with all my heart that people’re enhanced by their surroundings, and if I can bring beauty into people’s lives then that creates good feelings. I now think about energy more than ever - She’ve seen it with clients and with herself. When people leave a room they don’t remember every piece of furniture or every object, but they do remember how they felt in that space - that energy lingers with them. Brigette Romanek always want people to feel like when they walk into one of my rooms they’ve been invited to a party!
Brigette Romanek always like to do plans, and she’d say this to anyone. Before put any pieces together, get a floor plan, and lay the furniture out in terms of their dimensions. She likes to create vignettes all in one room. That way, the eye travels to lots of different areas and each one feels like its own little world.
