{joomplu:1442}Eclectic Connections that Draws Rooms Together

Marjorie Sobiloff and Cathy Yohay of SY Interior Designs say they run a small company with big ideas. They strive to design a home uniquely suited to each client’s lifestyle and personality. The process at SY begins with a conversation to draw out what a residential or commercial client is truly attracted to … and what the budget is.

Next, the artistry is in finding styles and creating themes around those needs and tastes – and filling in the details with pieces and colors that work together to create the right touch.
“You can take different themes and styles and have it all connect in the details,” said Yohay. “This gives each room its own style and its own personality for the person living in that room to enjoy.” Said Sobiloff, “Whether using a wall covering or paint to enhance surfaces, adding molding to a room to create richness, or just looking for the perfect finishing details to make a room feel like home, it’s the details that make the difference.” 
On one recent project in the Hamptons, the location made for the theme. “We took all the ideas of why people come to the Hamptons,” said Yohay, “and used elements related to that to make a unique showcase.”
With horses among the top attractions for the destination, that became a central theme in the room. A picture of a horse that was done by a local Hamptons artist was used for color (SY always tries to promote local artists). The chair beneath the image was selected to continue the idea as the designers were attracted to its equine physique. The ottoman struck them as having the sheen and texture of a horse’s coat.
Running with the ocean theme, SY brought in a chandelier from Washington State that makes one think of sea urchins. Along those lines, the sofa has an abstract coral pattern. For something special, they again found local artists – this time in Brooklyn – for the media cabinet, “which is really a work of art,” said Sobiloff. 
And for what Sobiloff calls the real “wow factor” in the room, they went with a silver-leafed architectural wall paneling. “A lot of people came into the room and said ‘Oh my God, what is that?’” she said. “The piece made it feel as if there was a window there. It eliminated the boxiness of the room.”
