Creating Atmosphere
making the most of a design element

Donna Terry's approach to interior design is all about creating atmosphere and she does so by paying attention to the details...

Affect of Lighting

Looking at how the natural and artificial light will affect the color, form, and visual texture of fabrics, furnishings, walls, and flooring.

Combination of Materials

Looking at how the contradiction or similarity of materials being used and the reflective and visual texture of their finishes will interrelate to produce the desired effect.

Form of Hard and Soft Furnishings

Looking at how the contours of the hard and soft furnishings chosen, their relationship to each other and the texture of the textiles that cloak them will impact the aesthetics and the function of the space.
