Designer Spotlight: Sheila Bridges

Though she's an interior designer in name, Sheila Bridges' job description includes everything from hosting a show on the Fine Living network to appearing as a design pundit on "Oprah" to decorating the Harlem office space of Bill Clinton. And if an interior designer can achieve national fame, Bridges has done it. Since founding her own firm in 1994, she's been named America's Best Interior Designer by CNN and Time magazines.

What I like about Bridges' designs is her ability to use very traditional pieces in unexpected ways. A room by Bridges won't be too jarring for anyone with less-than-edgy tastes, but she's always likely to throw in a playful accent or an objet d'art that keeps formality to a minimum. She also has a great eye for color and for mixing different furniture styles and patterns. Take a look at a gallery of her work and tell me what you think when you read more

    I like most of it. Love the black & white comforter with colored walls (I wouldn't do green, but a bold color is great) and the mix of styles.

    You're right CasaSugar, she is really great! I especially love the second, fourth, and last rooms.

    I agree, EllaBella--no to home laboratories! I love the way she uses color. Who knew you could have a green wall next to a bed that didn't make you want to scream? It's gorgeous!
