Kishani Perera ~ Fabulous L.A. based Interior Designer

Kishani Perera is one of my favorite designers.  She is based out of L.A.  She first caught my attention when I saw the New York Soho apartment that she designed for Molly Sim.  More recently, she worked on this L.A. atelier's home.  I just love the use of vivid colors in her design.  It's difficult to get just the right hue and she did just that here with the walls and the ceiling.  The fun cover on the bed was purchased from Maryam of Marakesh's store.

Nothing makes a room pop like a bunch of fresh flowers.

Kishani has a wonderful sense of not only color, but being

able to blend eclectic styles and vintage furnishings together.

I love the arched window in this home - it lets so much light in.

I had to take a moment to really study this bathroom.  The wallpaper really makes this bathroom a "wow" factor.  It's interesting to see the tiles in small pieces where many times most of us are most accustomed to seeing large format tiles on the floor.

By leaving the ceiling white, the dark

color does not overwhelm this bathroom.

When in fact, it is a gorgeous hue of peacock blue.

Isn't the chandelier just rocking?

Now that is one Huge lamp shade!

Who says the outside shouldn't be just as stylish as the inside. 

Love the organic wood table and especially the very long sofa!

Hope you've enjoyed this home as much as I have.

A Posh and Romantic Parisian Space - Molly Simm's Soho Loft by Kishani Perera of Fuse ID

I know that many of you have probably seen

this flat before but I can't help posting about

it because it is one of my all time favorite designs.

The flat belongs to Molly Simms and is in the Soho

district of New York. Molly hired Kishani Perera of

Fuse ID to help her design the place.

Molly speaks French fluently and shopped for pieces at

the Paris Flea Market and had them shipped back in a

container. She is a hard core antiquer. The resulting design

is one of the most fabulous apartments I've ever seen. I

never tire of looking at photos of this place.

The room above is one of my favorites with the

grand chandelier, built in book cases and sumptious
sitting area.

I always love seeing before and after photos.

Here's a before photo of that same guest

room and sitting area.

And what the result was. It's simply gorgeous.

This ottoman is a detail from the room above.

Molly bought this ottoman on Ebay for $100
and had it recovered with silk fabric. What
do you want to bet the fabric alone cost more
than the ottoman. A gorgeous choice in fabric
and ottoman though if I must say so myself.

I went absolutely nuts for this room as well with the

velvet grey chesterfield sofa, striped arm chairs and

the oversized art piece. The rug looks so fuzzy and

soft. The room is beautiful, cozy and comfortable.

A combination of all three is definitely not always

easy to achieve.

A look from another angle.

The before photo of Molly's master bedroom.

And the after shot. A pretty dramatic

transformation if I must say so myself.

And of course the beautiful French boudoir of a bedroom.

No French bedroom is complete without a chandelier,

a beautifully upholstered bedframe, and sumptious

draperies.

Love the choices in white marble

and tile. Gives it a very clean and

elegant look.

Hmm. An oversized poster of a bee

seems like an eclectic choice.

The barstools are so cute in pink

and white polk-a-dots!

A lead into the dining area. The lighting

is amazing and this photo really shows

off the height of the ceilings.

A very traditional dining area.

Beautifully appointed bathroom.

A before shot of the very stark office.

And the result is a very classic but very lovely office.

I really love the tufted arm chair as well. I recently

scored one very similar to it off of Craig's List.

So what do we think? Brilliant? I think so anyways.

This was the flat that really put Kishani Perera

on the map for me. After I first saw the photos

months ago in an Instyle Home spread, I made

sure I found out who the designer was.
