People to Know: Designer Sharon Rembaum

The Scarsdale designer and inveterate traveler on achieving an eclectic, timeless, and worldly aesthetic.

Design Philosophy:

Refined, eclectic, timeless, worldly. We love using a variety of textures and a muted palette as a base and then adding a selection of furnishings in natural materials, plus lighting and art. A home should be a reflection of the people who live in it.

Inspiration:

Travel, books, magazines, museums, art, flea markets, fashion, nature, and Instagram.

Hottest Trends:

• Nature, sustainability, and organic design, including increased use of natural materials like woods, colorful marbles, terrazzo, and recycled materials such as plastics; and rich, dark colors derived from nature

• A resurgence of cane and wicker furniture

• Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian design

• Integrated living spaces

• Indoor-outdoor living

Top 5 Design Tips:

1. Less is often more.

2. Texture goes a long way.

3. I live by eclectic design, mixing modern, vintage, and antique pieces.

4. Be aware of scale. I often see installations where the furniture is too big or the rug is too small.

5. Fill your home with things you love so that it feels collected.
