Because of her passion for fashion, Los Angelesbased designer Jaqui Seerman approaches his projects with style, often blending bright colors, textures and original art to make a bold statement in a room.

“Fashion and interior design are very similar,” Sheerman told Mansion Global. The designers explained how every aspect of fashion, from fabrics to accessories, from layering to movement and attention to detail, influences the whole, tells a story and projects a mood.

Raised in a design-oriented family, her father ran a homebuilding company and her mother used her “natural interior flair” to decorate homes. Siaman spent his youth flying around both coasts. She started out working for Fernandez, then Madeline, then Stewart & Associates, and eventually Martin. I started a company.

But for Sheerman, interior design has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember.

“Ever since I was a child, I had an innate affinity for design. Fortunately, when I was planning my career in my early twenties, they were kind enough to let me consider this passion. They convinced me,” she said of her parents pushing her into a design future. “I’m happy for their success and feel lucky to have a career in such a crazy, challenging and creative industry.”

In addition to her thoughts on the parallels between fashion and interior design, Mansion Global believes that creating chic yet livable homes, defining her own design style, and living in West Hollywood are part of her job. I talked to Ms. Sheerman about how it affects me.

Mansion Global: You compare fashion to interior design. Can you elaborate a bit more on how it translates?

Jaqui Seerman: There are many of the same foundations. Clothing and ensembles need to fit the body type and the shape of the person wearing them, so that can be brought back to architecture. Not so for humans. Take care of your body. You should look at the architecture of your home and model your aesthetics with what looks best in that environment.

The ever-evolving fashion aesthetic has a constant impact, whether someone is aware of it or not. The interior should have the same fresh elements.

MG: When you use the word ‘fresh’, do you mean designing with new furniture and accessories?

JS: You don’t have to limit yourself to the current one. Great looks are timeless and that is also the goal of interiors. Today you can build a great Halston and it will look as effortlessly chic as it did when it was first designed. The goal is to age gracefully.

MG: What’s your secret to living comfortably while maintaining a chic aesthetic?

JS: Think classic clothing. A chic and beautiful pullback dumpling and a simple white button-up jewelry. You can start the day perfectly crisp and have your hair pulled back completely, but when the day changes and you start running around, it can get a little tiring. But it still looks chic.

In the interior, we create rooms that look incredible when assembled, but as the days go by, shoes are taken off, pillows are put down, books are opened, tea is sipped and everything is lived in, the aesthetics are still It’s there. It looks well-collected and maintained even after you’ve lived in it.

MS: Any advice for people who haven’t defined their design style yet? How do they get there?

JS: People are looking at the finished product. They run through the fun part.

Don’t set yourself deadlines, take your time to evolve and collect your favorite pieces. Not everything was purchased from one of her locations, so the space looks well-curated and organic. Because we sourced these unique ones, they also have personal value. Take your time and let it happen. Find out what feels right for you. I hope you have a pleasant trip. If you do it right, you don’t have to start over.

MS: Do you have any complaints related to design aesthetics?

JS: Generally speaking, I don’t like cabinets that don’t extend to the ceiling. There are always situations when there is a reason they don’t go all the way to the ceiling. And in that scenario, I can support the cause. It complements the height of the room, so it looks custom and plump and beautiful.

MG: How has living in West Hollywood, or “WeHo,” influenced your design approach and style?

JS: It has affected me in ways that are not specific to the city, environment, or coast I live in, but to the individuals who choose to live here. , is a risk taker. They are not afraid to push their limits. So not only are furniture, pillows, area rugs and drapes turnkey ready, you can embody an aesthetically complete interior with a stocked and organized pantry. It is There are only a few places in the world where a community can fully participate like that. Los Angeles, Southern California and especially West Hollywood are not risk averse. They are willing to take a chance and see what happens. It was a fun experience when doing interiors.

MG: Where do you shop for unique items and collectibles in Los Angeles?

JS: All Angelenos in my industry take great inspiration from JF Chen. They have collected some of the finest furniture. It’s fun to see works that are inspiring and have different architectural shapes, like chairs that don’t look like chairs.

MG: How would you define luxury?

JS: What’s special is the simplicity. A stunning dinner party with fresh cut flowers, large floral arrangements and a selection of fine china with sentimental value. Equip your home with works of emotional value, such as an oil painting by your grandmother or a gorgeous mohair blanket that you treasure. It’s the experience of being in the environment, being at home and having guests and showing them what’s important to you. You can indulge in more luxurious linens, but some people prefer crisp cotton sheets. It’s personal. It’s curated for you. It’s the most luxurious experience when it’s exactly what you want.
