Matching interiors are out of fashion at L.A. show home

(5 Nov 2015) LEAD IN: The Greystone Mansion in Los Angeles - once home to an oil magnate - has been transformed by 22 daring designers. Each designer has applied the latest interior tricks and trends to a specific room to create a must see show home. STORY-LINE: Greystone Mansion is transformed with the latest trends in interior design. This beautiful 1928 building - once belonging to the oil magnate Doheny family - is given a very modern makeover with the help of more than 20 top international designers. Decor home trends for 2016 could be seen everywhere at the designer show house event, Maison de Luxe, presented by Luxe Interiors + Design, in conjunction with the City of Beverly Hills and the Friends of Greystone, a non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration of the famed estate. The interior designers were given free rein to share their talents in re-imagining the 46,000 square foot historic mansion. Big trends for the new year are on display including smoky tones, dark rich blues, tone-on-tone, the mixing of metal finishes, the mixing of genres and artisan statement pieces. Designers agree it's now about letting certain statement pieces speak without the constraints of worrying about them matching with the rest of the room. So this means that matching furniture sets are out for 2016. According to the designers showcasing their talents at the Greystone Mansion it's time to forget the perfectly executed room - matching and seamless... instead it's time to choose some statement pieces and to let them shine. These days, the designers say, their customers want to know where a piece of furniture came from or how it was created. Here at the mansion, sitting just above Sunset Boulevard, visitors can come to see for themselves what's hot in the world of interior design. Doors are open to the public until November 22. John Mirisch, Beverly Hills' Vice Mayor says the city is only 100 years old but Greystone is an important part of that history and it normally sits empty only hosting special events as reservation continues, but this is a special time to see the mansion in its full glory. "For most of the year, Greystone is put back if you will to the original state as it would have been done when the Doheny's were here and that is a very specific place and point in time but I look at it now and see all these amazing things that the designers have done and I'm thinking what is the Doheny's or any other family for that matter would live here now and really knowing the venue and knowing how the rooms are originally and seeing how they are transformed, it goes to show you the power of interior decoration and of courses that is one of the things that Beverly Hills is about, lifestyles, glamour, and each year and every other year when they do this, it transforms the mansion in a new unique and for me, a pretty amazing way," says Mirisch. The look now is it to have several kinds of antiques occupying the same space, alongside modern Laura Schwartz-Muller, President, American Society of Interior Designers, Los Angeles 2015-2016 says the trends today include: new metal finishes and mixing metals, sustainable furniture, minimizing clutter and mixing of many decor styles and materials in all aspects of design. Schwartz-Muller says the other big trend for 2016 is antique brass and antique bronze. Tone-on-tone, especially in neutrals, is the look for colour schemes, with off-white dominating the colour charts. Beth Webb, of Beth Webb Interiors of Atlanta Georgia, says the tone-on-tone trend is huge for 2016 because people want to relax when they get home.
