Brown Davis Interiors: Design Talk on Projects

I think one of the reasons that I truly enjoy viewing your design projects, from an editorial point of view, is that you can successfully tap into your clients’ design loves and create a completely unique interior – regardless of style, that reflects that clients’ lifestyle. I love that your portfolio includes such a beautiful and elegant representation of a variety of design influences from traditionally styled homes to contemporary designs. One of my favorite interior design projects was a Palm Beach villa. The use of blues and the overall color palette was emotionally captivating. Just viewing the photos I could sense the tranquility and serenity. Tell me a little bit about that project.

 Living room in Palm Beach villa designed by Brown Davis Interiors, Inc.

Todd: We had designed this client’s home in Washington DC and when they decided to buy an oceanfront condo south of Palm Beach they asked us to design it. This client loved that blue color and the idea from the very beginning was to pull together something that was very soothing and calm. So Rob, who is amazing with colors, orchestrated the color palette for the project.

Brown Davis Interiors is known for its couture approach to design. Each design is custom fitted to the client from color selection to design implementation.

Todd: The color palette for the Palm Beach villa was very specific to that client, and that’s something we strive to create for all our clients. We consider our design work to be bespoke. For example if you go to Paris to have a dress made, it is made for just for you from the color to the cut to the fabric. In a sense, we create interior design couture for our clients.

With regards to your design projects for former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hilary Clinton, did you start with their home in Chappaqua or their home in Washington DC?

Todd: We did their DC home first. What happened was that we had a client, Barbara Harrison, who was a newscaster, and was friends with Hilary. Barbara said to us one day (we had done Barb’s house previously), Hilary needs a decorator, and I’m going to tell her that she needs to hire you. Around that time we had just been published in Southern Accents. So she took a copy of the magazine with her to an event at the White House that evening and she gave it to Hilary. Lo, and behold the next day we got a call and apparently, not only, had Hilary heard of us through Barbara, but she had been to the British Embassy and had seen what we had done there and she really liked it.

We then spent a lot of time with Hilary going around town looking at different places that were for sale. We found one that suited them; they bought it and we designed the interior. Bill was always a little bit iffy on us because he wasn’t quite sure what we were up to, but then he saw how well the house in DC came out and he asked us to help design their Chappaqua, New York house.

Todd: So we did the Chappaqua house and as a result Hilary asked us to design her Senate office.

Rob: It was pretty interesting in terms of, we never did, even though we were in DC, official government property- and this was a project that was tied to so much social pressure. We knew not to do anything outlandish; in fact we didn’t really order anything special it was all from the congressional inventory.

So they have a warehouse with official government purchased furniture?

Todd: Yes.

How was that- having to use “what they had on hand”? I know that you’re used to being able to source beautiful products from the very best collections, and even more recently you were able to utilize artwork from the MET that was part of a client’s impressionist collection.

Todd: You know there are some projects where the sky’s the limit and you can do whatever you want, but in reality there are few clients that will say do whatever you want. So for every single project it’s about figuring out the design parameters. I think that a lot of people can take a beautiful space or beautiful furniture and make it look great. The real talent lies in taking a really horrible space and not so nice furniture and making it look really nice. Being able to do that is a big part of the creative process – being able to create that magic. And creating that design magic doesn’t necessarily mean spending a lot of money.

Brown Davis Interiors: The Creative Design Process

  I love your perspective on design. You apply a well-honed analytical approach to your creative process. How much of that can you attribute to your pre-design careers?

Todd: Definitely looking at design projects from a business perspective was influenced by our earlier careers. In addition to our backgrounds, we’re fortunate that we have each other to bounce ideas off of.

Can you give me an example of this synergistic approach?

Todd: Rob is really great at coming up with the inspiration and the creative concept. I will look at things architecturally and say ‘yes’ we need to do this from an architectural standpoint, and then Rob provides his input from a color and décor perspective.

When you meet with your clients do you use design boards or computer renderings to help visualize the project?

Todd: Interestingly, we don’t for our residential projects. For our commercial projects we do utilize design boards to present to various different people over a span of time. But we don’t produce lots of design boards, however we do create lots of architectural drawings with perspectives that really help tell a story.

Could you describe the process?

Todd:  We keep it kind of loose because we find that it is really an evolutionary process. We ask our clients to initially prepare a file of all their loves and hates, colors, and things they are attracted to, and that in turn gives us a storyboard that we launch from.

When we are presenting in the beginning there may be a whole house worth of decorative elements that are in front of us but we do the presentation in a very casual manner. Typically on conference tables where people can see and touch the elements. Through this process the client can narrow the selection down to what they like and want.

Many times we’ve been fortunate to meet our clients before they’ve built their house, and there is a long process in which we are involved in the architectural aspect of the project. Through this process the client is also growing and changing, and I get to see where they are headed, initially, with regards to style and color palette. But I always resist limiting the design input right then and there, and defining the project too much. It is very anxiety producing not to have it all defined at that point, to get it done and settled and get to work, but you have to have faith that the true path will reveal itself and it inevitably does.

We’ve touched on the color aspect of the designs created by Brown Davis Interiors.  Rob you’re known as a gifted colorist. How did you discover this love for color?

Rob: I think it’s just came naturally for me. I think I always noticed how color would affect my feelings about the world, myself, a room or whatever happened to be influenced by a single color or a combination of colors. I was really amazed by the effect colors had and was well aware of how powerful the use of color could be. I compare the power of color to affect mood to how a movie director directs us in what he wants us to see and feel. So I was definitely quite aware of how influential color was for setting moods and the role it plays in good design.

Now I’m more confident and experienced enough to take greater risks with the use of color. I now consider wilder things than I ever did before.

What kind of wilder things with regards to color?

Rob: Combination of colors and making bolder statements. My parents are English, and I spent a lot of time in England, and coming from a place like Washington DC and the east coast imbued me with a sense of conformity that shaped my attitude toward color. Making too bold of a statement with color was not necessarily encouraged. That was my color influence prior to moving to Miami Beach. Color wise there are no limitations here.

Was it liberating to open yourself up to a whole new world of colors?

Rob: Incredibly so.

Brown Davis Interiors: Destined to Design

What did you do before founding Brown Davis Interiors? Interior Design was not your initial career how did you get there?

Todd Davis: I had always wanted to be an architect and was discouraged from doing that. What I wanted to do was design really beautiful homes and I was told that you’d never get to do that. That I’d just be doing the grunt work for an architect so it didn’t seem as if it was a really glamorous job.

Sounds disheartening doesn’t it?

Todd: Exactly. So I was encouraged to go to business school and then I went to John Hopkins Graduate school. Then I went to work for an aerospace firm, Martin Marietta and hated every second of it.  Rob actually always wanted to be a designer but was discouraged from it by his family. He also went to school where he got an engineering degree and also a Master’s in Business.  Our formal educations were great and they’ve helped us figure out how to run a business, but we basically ended up doing what we should be doing.

What you were destined for?

Todd: Exactly. I think so.

Tell me about the early days of your design firm, Brown Davis Interiors, Inc.

Todd: When we were in Washington DC the business grew really quickly and within four to five years our work appeared in Architectural Digest. Then we were doing design projects at the British Embassy; the Clintons hired us; and then we did a project, for the heiress to Campbell Soup, in New York.  All of these projects happened in the first four to five years of being in business, so it was really a bit overwhelming.

Was it like a dream- almost surreal?

Todd: Yes, it was little bit like that. It was totally surreal and at the same time it was something neither of us were really prepared for in terms of knowing how to manage all that, and you know, even now running an Interior Design firm is not easy because you’ve got a lot of clients and a lot of demands.

Brown Davis Interiors has offices in Miami Beach and Washington DC. How does having these two locations influence you creatively?

Todd: I really love a certain aspect of the understated sensibility to design in DC. But that’s not to say that Miami and Miami Beach in particular aren’t great also in terms of being introduced to so many new products, concepts and designs influenced by an international sensibility. We know Austrian people; we’ve worked for Russians, Americans, Germans and the thing is that everybody is bringing something style-wise from where they come. We’re sort of like sponges. In that when we are working on a project we have to absorb what the client is looking for – so that’s where going back and forth between DC and Miami is beneficial.

As a creative type you really want to focus on the creative end of your business, but is there something from a business perspective that you’ve learned along the way that has really helped your business?

Todd: I think to me a big part of it has been just not trying to grow a business because of your ego. My goal at this point is to keep the business small for two reasons: one is that it is so much more manageable and secondly more profitable. During the big recession we didn’t lay anybody off. We kept going, though a bit scary at times, because we had enough business.

How many people do you have on your staff? And how does technology factor into your business model?

Todd: When we left DC we scaled down because we didn’t want to spend all our time managing the business.  We’ve kept the staff small. We have a designer/project manager in DC and one in Miami Beach, an architect in Rhode Island, in addition to Rob and me. We have two different accounting firms; one in Washington DC and one that provides accounting services remotely for the trade – we use a cloud computing accounting application so I can work from anywhere in the world-for example I was in Rio de Janeiro recently and I was able to log in to the accounting application. We really do a lot of business activities, though we do fly around to our many different projects, remotely and that has been aided by advances in technology.

What’s one piece of advice you’d offer to those considering going into business?

Todd: Keep it true to what you want to do.

John Sparano of ICE Enterprises

Photo:KITCHEN This was a kitchen with limited space, so installing glass paned cupboards and staggering their lengths gave it a greater sense of depth. A soffit was created above the cabinets and finished with thick crown molding and a copper painted inset on the ceiling to further open it up.		Photo: KITCHEN  A farm sink would be too casual for this Parisian cafe inspired kitchen, so John had a stone installer fashion a sink entirely out of pieces from the same lot of granite- giving the whole counter top a lyrical flow. Doing so kept with the Parisian café look replete with black vintage cabinets and highly textured granite throughout.  The original linoleum was replaced with warm tone hardwood flooring to further push the café motif.
Photo:DINING ROOM The dining area was tied into the kitchen by continuing the textured paint on the wall and the black wainscoting. Two antique chairs were paired up with two modern chairs. Artwork was in black and gold. The Japanese silk cushion added a touch of color and some more international flavor. The second mismatched chandelier kept the formality while injecting a touch of whimsy.		Photo: DINING ROOM Wall covering in the kitchen and dining room is a painted suede treatment from Ralph Lauren, cabinets from Oneil Cabinets installed by R2 Build and Design, granite from Stone Mart and installed by Planet Stone. Table and two chairs from Target, Hitchcock chairs, Japanese Obis, and Venetian Hand-stamped drapes provided by homeowner.

Photo:LIVING ROOM John wanted to reflect the fun and vibrant personality of the resident, a young marketing professional, so he painted the walls a light steel gray in order to have the objects in the room pop. The blue of the couch compliments the brown hues in the wood of the coffee table and provided the opportunity to add more bright accents. Coffee table from Urban Home, couch from Furniture One, lamps from Pier One, accent pillows from The Great Indoors.

Photo: DINING ROOM The resident wanted to keep her dining room open because of the limited space in her apartment, so John employed a stark modern design and created another seating area with a coffee table that transforms into dining height and can moved to the center of the room and used with the bench. Coffee table from Urban Home, Bench from West Elm, vase with bamboo from In Mode and Eames style cradle rocker from Overstock.com, Artichoke light from In Mode. Textured burgundy grass wallpaper from Astek Wallcoverings.		Photo: LIVING ROOM In the living room John wanted to make the side chair a bold contrast the traditional sofa, so he found this unique Danish easy chair at Silica 3 and added a rust accent pillow from In Mode Los Angeles. Side tables from Target.
Photo: BEDROOM The bedroom was a very small square, so to give it some personality John added a subtle bed crown and black Lucite chandelier. The gold embroidery in the bed crown drape picks up the gold curtains on the windows. Bed from Urban Home, bed crown found at Satsuma Gallery, chandelier from H. D. Buttercup.		Photo:DINING ROOM The dining room needed to seat 14, and have a modern classic feel like the rest of the house. John found a long simply shaped dining table, put matching benches on one side to accommodate six, stackable midcentury chairs on the other, and two matching Mackintosh chairs at either end. Since the room had a great view of the outside, he had cushions made that tied in outdoor landscaping.

Photo:LIVING ROOM The concept for “America’s Next Top Model” cycle 11 included classic shapes and styles in all the rooms. The living room was very large and needed to feel intimate and luxurious, so John used a curved couched and low profile furniture to give the room a sensual and grounded vibe so the contestants would feel comfortable talking about the show. The couch and carpet stayed with the grey and beige of the house so the girls themselves would be more of the focal point.
