“I go back to my art background, and drawing on that creativity is part of what I love. Once the client and I agree on the design, the wonderful craftsmen I work with can make virtually anything I envision.” “I favor interiors that have a timeless quality yet are a bit eclectic,” she says. “I love to use different fabrics and colors in jeweled tones, although I don’t necessarily recommend bright colors in every room. I like soft colors on the walls, and I’m especially fond of paint that has a ‘sueded’ look that changes with the light. I like good woods, rich surfaces like marble and classic Oriental rugs. I also think interiors should flow and be flexible so you can move things around.” Mugavero says it’s the personal aspect of her work that she finds most deeply gratifying. “In today’s world, people are staying home more and enjoying their own surrounding with their families,” she says. “I love helping my clients create spaces where they feel comfortable with their friends and family. That’s what it’s all about.” |
A
spectacular view of Colorado's Front Range is the focal point of this
living space, created when the owners purchased two adjacent condominiums
and combined them. Drawing from Polynesian and Asian influences, the
ceiling is adorned by a unique, woven wood treatment which draws the
eye upward. A tropical fan cools the space in the summer, and a hand-painted
Asian screen hangs on the far wall. |
A
pair of custom maple columns flank the dining room, fitted with glass
shelving and overhead lighting to display the homeowner's glass collection.
The room is anchored by granite flooring accented with a bold border. |
