Maison de Luxe , the show home of Luxe interiors + design, is the place to be in Beverly Hills these days as the Greystone Estate is open through December 22 for tours of rooms created by some of America's finest interior designers.
Lori Dennis is one of these designers whom you may know from HGTV's The Real Designing Women.
Lori is a "green" designer, LEED certified, and the meditation room at Maison de Luxe reflects her design aesthetic and point of view.
Her meditation room is inspired by nature with jewels, sounds, crystals and butterflies. She created a space within a space with the 22 carat gold gilded exterior of the meditation chamber, whose interior is covered with tufted, non-toxic velvet. The feeling is almost like a return to the womb - a place to relax and recharge.
Here you can see the gilded exterior and the velvet-covered interior of the meditation chamber. The butterfly wall sconce is by Maitland-Smith and is made of inlaid yellow and white mother of pearl, penshell and brass.
That's Lori with our President, Dan Bradley, and Mary Garvin, the Director of Design for Maitland-Smith.
Covering one wall of the meditation room are eight Maitland-Smith mirrors. These have an aubergine finish with inlaid penshell and lipshell. Who would have thought to invert four of them, but it makes quite a statement on this wall. In the reflection you can see a Maitland-Smith chair in a light, Renaissance finish, at the secretary. On the wall is a brass wall sconce with leaf pattern and faux shagreen shade.
To get more great decorating ideas, visit the Maison de Luxe before the 22nd. This is a great opportunity to see the work of well-known designers up close, but also to see the scale and architecture of the historic Greystone Estate.
