at home with Laurie Ghielmetti DEsiGNEr lAuriE GhiElMEtti OF lAuriE GhiElMEtti iNtEriOrs sPEciAliZEs iN crEAtiNG ENvirONMENts thAt rEFlEct thE OutlOOK AND liFEstYlEs OF its cliENts. LHQ: Where did you study architecture, and what major influences have shaped your business? Lg: I was a Humanities Field Major at Berkeley and studied Art and English. I worked with my aunt, an Interior Designer, and then started my own business 23 years ago. My early travels abroad with my parents and journeys with my own family into Asia and other areas of the world have influenced me. I felt the confluence of the mixture of cultures here in California and wanted to use that wonderful eclecticism to help inform my own work. [It was] a mixture of balance and surprise. LHQ: What types of services does your company offer? 01 01 the traditonal master bedroom features an abundunce of artful touches. the headboard is upholstered in clarence house fabric from belmar company, in san Francisco cA (belmarcompany.com). the bed itself showcases a cashmere coverlet from Pratesi (pratesi.com), bedskirt by christopher hyland (christopherhyland.com) and italian pillows, chinese silk fabric bolster pillow and antique throw all from the lotus collection (ktaylor-lotus.com) the gold mohair chair from Gregorius/Pineo (gregoriuspineo.com) and iron bench from blank and cable skillfully complement the bessarabian rug. Lg: We are a full service interior design firm. That includes: architectural consultation for new or remodeled homes, furnishings and accessories for the home and art advice for building or adding to personal collections of contemporary art. LHQ: How do you connect with your clients, to understand their needs and desires? Lg: We have several conversations about their lifestyle, the adjectives that they would like to use when they enter their own home and how they would like others to feel in that home as honored guests. Clients often show us photos of homes they have admired in magazines and if not, we ask them to go onto our web site and let us know which rooms appeal to them and why. Most of the time, people wear colors that they feel enhance them and explain their personality and that is often carried through in the colors that speak positively to them in their home; whether it be in furnishings, art or paint that car- ries through even in the choice of style for their pieces. And then we continue that communication throughout the relationship. We are a small firm, which allows us to create intense personal relationships with our clients often over a period of years as we grow together to fit their needs. LHQ: What’s in the future for Laurie Ghielmetti Interiors? Lg: I feel so passionately about the joyous pursuit of interior design that at this point I cannot imagine waking in the morning and not wanting the challenge of this work. I continue to enjoy the variety of clients who invite us into their private lives and ask us to turn their thoughts and ideas into a wonderful reality, where a marriage of both style and comfort can be attained. A home is supposed to enhance our lives and the interior of that home needs to feel there is a conversation between the various elements that is balanced. A result that provides both stimulation and serenity. 162 luxury home quarterly SPrING 2012 luxuryhomequarterly.com PhOtOs OF rObErt WhitWOrth
