Style Profile: Laura Tutun

Have I told you lately how much I love Pinterest? I always manage to find some time in the evenings to pin new things and draw inspiration for myself there. Oftentimes, blog posts are born from the common threads that I notice in my recent pins. Pinterest is amazing for a few more reasons: I have been hired for local design jobs because of my Pinterest profile (be sure to utilize this powerful tool to its potential!); Last week, I reached 120,000 followers on Pinterest, so a big thank you to all of you who follow me there; and lastly, I love coming across inspiring new images, especially from designers I wasn’t previously familiar with. After nearly seven years of blogging, that is a rare and wonderful thing!
This weekend, I came a cross an image of an interesting roman shade treatment and when I clicked through, I was treated to the beautiful portfolio of Laura Tutun. Tutun is based in Rye, New York and founded her design firm in 2005 after working as Director of Product Development for Ralph Lauren Home for ten years. I was immediately drawn to her work because our tastes are so similar. I gravitate towards similar color palettes—soothing grays, rich browns, metallic accents, and pops of color. Her style is a great mix of traditional silhouettes with modern accents. I love that she can mix various styles and periods in a single room and have it come together so perfectly. I am especially enamored with the fact that she always seems to add at least one bold element in a room whether it’s a stunning chinoiserie accent wall, a beautiful window treatment, or a chic lighting fixture. I look forward to seeing more work from Tutun in the years to come. Until then, I will draw inspiration from these beautiful images of her past projects.

{I love the calm color palette in this bedroom. This is proof that a neutral palette doesn’t have to be boring. The Chinoiserie wallpapered accent wall is divine, the furniture pieces are each quite interesting, and the roman shades and bedding are at once classic and modern. |  Image by Jane Beiles}

{How pretty are these framed Chinoiserie panels on top of the grasscloth wallcovering? I love that they wallpapered the ceiling, too.}

{The bedding in this little girl’s room is so lovely. I love that she matched Kelly Wearstler’s Fern pattern on the roman shades and throw pillows.}

{The cabinetry in this bathroom is stunning. | Image by Jane Beiles}

{How fabulous is this powder room? Laura let me know that it isn't wallpaper, but rather a mural painted by hand. Amazing, isn't it? | Image by Jane Beiles}

{I adore this entry vignette.The juxtaposition of the wood from the antique cabinet mixed with the gold of the mirror and accessories and the marble lamp and obelisks is so good. | Image by Jane Beiles}

{This rich chocolate brown living room features an interesting mix of seating.}

{Tutun opted for another accent wall, this time in this chic dining room. The cherry blossom branches are so simple, but add a lovely, glamorous touch to the space. I love that she paired such a traditional dining table and chairs with a modern, edgy chandelier and rug. | Image by Jane Beiles}

{I love the chic simplicity of this kitchen. | Image by Jane Beiles}

{This kitchen, which appears to be in a pool house, feels very in line with the “safari chic” Ralph Lauren lifestyle. It’s clean and sleek with a few warm, organic accents like the wood and nickel hurricanes on the counter, the chandelier overhead, and the baskets in the corner. | Image by Jane Beiles}

{This was the photo that I came across on Pinterest that lead me to Tutun’s website. Aren’t these roman shades fabulous? The pup who gets to hang out in this space is one lucky pooch!}

{Tutun and I also seem to share a love of Greek Key which she expresses through a graphic rug in this office area along with a custom Greek Key roman shade—yet another amazing window treatment! | Image by Jane Beiles}

 

I couldn’t help but share so many beautiful images from Tutun’s  fantastic portfolio as each space was even better than the last. Which of these rooms is your favorite?
