Great design doesn't happen by accident, it starts long before the furniture arrives, with a carefully curated mix of fabrics, textures, and materials that set the tone for an entire room. For this issue, we asked the team at Andrea Dussault Design (formerly Striped Lemon Design) to pull back the curtain and show us exactly how that process comes together.
The result is a beautifully curated flat lay, a behind the scenes look at the palettes, patterns, and textures that inspire their designs. Soft greens, natural woven textures, and hand painted botanicals set a distinctly Lowcountry mood, while brass accents and tactile fabrics add depth and warmth. Every piece tells part of a larger story, one built from locally sourced materials that reflect the coastal, laid back elegance their clients love.
It's proof that a beautiful room starts long before the first piece of furniture is placed, it starts with intention, texture, and a whole lot of inspiration.
