“Why do a house in just one style?” This is a quote of the Spanish designer Isabel Lopez-Quesada. Her words ring true in so many ways. Why classify your home as one breed. Whether modern, traditional, French country, or Spanish colonial, your design doesn’t have to be pigeon holed into one category. Lopez- Quesada skillfully follows her own philosophy in her approach to creating an ambient space.

Her rooms border on contemporary and classic. She picks the perfect splash of color in rooms that are timelessly adorned. I especially admire her ability to transform outdoor spaces into elegant spaces. Abundant boxwood, greenery, and flowing fountains are constants in every garden she creates. Lopez-Quesada is not a name you may recognize right away, but it is one you should know. Her design is remarkably talented, understated, and over the top .

Chic and easy living in this neutral toned space. I love those shelves to the ceiling and the extra fabric heading on the curtains. 

Potted boxwood, pattern, yet a very current outdoor living space.

A timeless bathroom with more modern touches regarding the frosted glass and chrome walls. The floors are the perfect juxtaposition.

An outdoor area made of my dreams. Blue shutters and a white home. Potted boxwood for days, hedging around the pool, and abundant green growing along the walls. Via AD

Layered paint, distressed hardwood, and high ceilings make a beautifully casual environment.

Can we just talk about the tub?! I mean the tub! Is that basket weave? Is that real? Could the wallpaper be more perfect?!

Classic elements in the bench and flooring layered with modern art and accessories. Let us not forget the blue and white planters.

Another view of the outdoor living area.. A patio of perfection.

A more collected and traditional living area. This is definitely my speed. Lush fabrics, warm colors, and ideal accessories. 

Did I mention I love potted boxwood? 😉
