Today’s inspiring designs come from New York City interior designer Joel Woodard. Joel’s designs have been seen in Traditional Home, House Beautiful, and several other publications. Like many designers, Joel got his start in the fashion industry before turning his attention to interior design.
What I love most about Joel’s designs is his knack for combining traditional classic elements with modern elements to create timeless rooms with an updated look.
Stunning! I love the softness added by the draperies (of course).
I love the use of red throughout an otherwise neutral color palette.

Yes, a dark wall color can look stunning in a small space!!
More dark walls. I love dark walls in a bedroom. Looks so warm and cozy!
Talk about dark walls!! I’ve been trying for years to find someone to let me paint their walls black or charcoal. Still no takers. But doesn’t this look amazing?!
I'd let you come to my house and paint my home theater walls black 🙂 – at the moment, we have builder's beige, but it really needs to be a darker room, to get the full effect of the projector.

Love your blog, btw. Have been tuning in for inspiration.
