The Interior Design Inspiration

Our design partner, Jules and Peabody, presented two stunning Moodboards to select from for Coach 0310 and we reached out to our customers and fans to get their feedback via Facebook Survey.  

Option A was a selection of neutral tones with creams and whites, black hardware; light wood cabinetry and flooring.

Option B was a selection with higher contrasts, distressed/camel tone leather, Chesterfield style sofa, denim blue and neutral accents, a mix of medium and dark woods, and nickel hardware and fixtures.

The results were close, but Option B was the winner 57% vs 43%.  This was a fun way to see what moodboard people responded to, and the higher contract in Option B was chosen.

And the winner is... ....Option B!

Once a Moodboard is chosen, the designer goes through an initial pull of sample fabrics, tile, laminates, flooring and fixtures.  The initial pull is presented and the process of adding, editing and fine tuning the design takes place.

Initial Selection of Materials


The initial material pull (at left) was inspired by Moodboard Option B chosen by our Facebook fans.  As the creative process ebbs and flows, the initial material selection goes through a process of growth and maturation.  At right, you can see the final material pull.

The Interior Materials

The inspiration for coach 0310 is driven by materials and textiles that tell a story.  "The handmade tiles from Fireclay caught my eye in the beginning of the design process" say Julie of Jules and Peabody, "modest but with enough detail to make a statement without overpowering the entire space."  One might describe the space as "Desert Modern": Roots in American Southwest with Spanish and American influences as well as Mid-Century Modern.  The result is a warm and worldly look filled with clean lines, desert-hues and influences from around the globe.
