Vicente Wolf

Home Decorator Website

Vicente Wolf was one of the first designers whose work I learned to recognize: Solid colors, lots of white, and large mirrors.

Pale blues. Furniture that really stands out against the white walls. I want to say, not a lot of tailoring to the furniture. By that I mean, unconstructed upholstery, with not a lot of welted edges. Slipcovers even, but no frills, no ruffles.

Seems like there are a lot of loft spaces in his portfolio online, and loft spaces are what I remember over the years. I don't know why that is -- because people think of him when they have loft spaces to do? Or is that just what he prefers?

I want to say dark woods, but I know that's not always true. I do tend to think of rugs in solid colors, though. Not elaborate patterns.

Designer's Site

There are lots of neutrals and solid colors here. In the living rooms, the walls are mainly white or off-white, with panels or woodwork to add interest. The studies are warmer, with heavier paneling, and some of the rooms shown in magazines are downright colorful.

Throughout, the furniture is substantial. The pictures on the walls, where they exist, are large and hold an important place in the room.

Some of these rooms -- given a chance to spend a week in them -- well, I figure I'd never be able to keep the space uncluttered, but I'd certainly be comfortable while I was there.

This is a nice site, with one of my favorite styles of navigation. Be sure to click the Media & Marketing link, because this is where magazine articles are featured.
