We are going to explore a project by Monique Gibson where we explored the classic style and the simplicity that it can convey.
Monique Gibson is a renowned architect and interior designer whose talent and creativity have placed her at the top of her field of work. She hails from Big Stone Gap, a coal mining town in the heart of Appalachia. Initially, the designer’s passions were more focused on other fields when she graduated in dance at the University of Tennessee. The move to Atlanta was crucial to her life’s unexpected turn. It was in Atlanta that she found employment in an interior design office. Later she created her own studio, formerly based in the city of Atlanta and since 2001 in Manhattan.
His projects are characterized by a harmonious blend of modern and classic elements, combining colors, textures and materials uniquely and dazzlingly. As the designer says, “For me, decorating is not about any one style or strategy. It’s about listening to my clients and learning—and enabling them to discover—how they want to live. The key is to ask the right questions and create an atmosphere of openness. I am passionate about people and love learning their stories”. Monique Gibson is renowned for her ability to understand her client’s wants and needs and translate them into visually stunning environments.
Soho Loft: the beauty of simplicity
So let’s present Monique Gibson’s project called Soho Loft. In this project, we will understand and analyze the style that the designer uses in her projects, from the simplicity of the play of colors to the most meticulous detail of the decoration.
As we can see right away, what stands out in this project is the timeless way Monique Gibson works with it. In a classic style, the designer provides a unique and beautiful style to this space. As for the colors, the neutral and simple palette she chose stands out. We have white, sometimes replaced by beige, as the great dominator of the environment. These lighter tones fill the walls throughout most of the rooms in this house. We then have, in contrast, black or brown, which come to give the contours of opposition to the lighter tones.
Room by Room
In this project by Monique Gibson, we have the subtle presence of natural elements throughout the house, which offers a harmonious blend of architecture with a refined approach to selecting these exact details. The incredible wooden furniture that the designer chose for this project gives it a timeless aesthetic and a breathtaking atmosphere.
In the entryway, we have a row of French doors that lead to the rest of the house. We only have a rug with stripes, with a bench along its entire length next to the window and those doors running along its length. This room is the perfect example of the simplicity that Monique Gibson wanted to present in this project.
Traveling to other areas of the house, we have the bedroom, which, as expected, maintains the level of elegance that the designer promised. Once again, simplicity is mandatory in this place, where we only have the bed with two chairs around a center table, and of course, the bedside tables. All this furniture follows the classic line that the designer already presented in the rest of the project, maintaining the intended elegance.
The main living room proves to be another continuation of the style seen throughout the project. Monique Gibson wanted to make this space functional without deviating from the theme she had chosen for the rest of the house, so we continued with the same color palette, with the same simplicity of lines and with the same elegance. We have two magnificent sofas, with wood coverings and beige cushions, a center table that extends to the width of the sofas and a rug that occupies the entire living room space where these elements are located. We still have other elements that complete this space, which follows the designer’s intention to make this space as functional and practical as possible.
The dining room is an extension of what we saw in the living room. Taking no chances, Monique Gibson maintains a neutral color palette and classic furniture. Of note are two incredible suspension lamps on the dining table that fill the space of this place. The bathroom was one of the places where the designer wanted to diversify. We have a room with an incredible mosaic on the floor that screams refinement: ample space and the perfect example of luxury.
All the design and style committed by Monique Gibson make this project a perfect example of working with the classic without abandoning the intention of creating an elegant and functional space. The designer manages to allocate all the necessary characteristics in this project to carry all the refinement that a space like this deserves. In addition to more conventional areas in a residential project, the designer was concerned with adding value and offering unique spaces that bring different experiences to its residents. An excellent example of this will be the living room that functions as an indoor cinema, a sample of the functionality carried over to this project.
We hope this project by Monique Gibson has served as an inspiration. We present a project where the classic is transported to the interior of a house in the simplest and most basic way possible, but always with a focus on elegance and refinement.
