"Designer Zoë Feldman endorses imperfect, lived-in aesthetics in residential spaces, emphasizing comfort over pristine perfection"
In the heart of Munich, Germany, Zoe Feldman, the designer and founder of Zoe Feldman Design, has established her design agency. With a passion for creating spaces that reflect the occupant's personality, Zoe's work can be seen in numerous homes across the city.
Zoe's philosophy is rooted in the belief that a home should not be a fixed time capsule but a space that evolves with its occupant. She advocates for a home that is intuitive, accommodating the unpredictability of real life.
According to Zoe, a well-designed room should be functional, allowing for easy adjustment of lights and comfortable living. A room should not hide the occupant's personality but rather, it should reflect it. This is achieved by placing art on walls, preferably art that holds personal meaning to the occupant.
The cost of art does not determine its value, as Zoe demonstrates through her designs. Some of the best gallery walls are a mashup of various types of art, creating a unique and personalised aesthetic.
Colour plays a significant role in setting the tone for a space. Zoe advises choosing colours that resonate with the occupant, as they will be the ones living in the space. Permanent design choices should not follow trends but instead, they should use materials that age gracefully, such as honed marble countertops with ogee edges and handmade subway tiles.
A home should make space for one's history and evolving taste. Zoe encourages her clients to incorporate elements of their life into their designs, making good design personal. This can be achieved by playing with scale, mixing frames, and embracing quirks, which can make art give a room its pulse.
Art can take many forms, from bold and vibrant to subtle and understated. It can be romantic, surreal, or completely bonkers, and it can make you laugh or cry. The key is to choose art that resonates with the occupant, as it is the art that tells a story, one overstuffed sofa, chipped plate, and wine-stained counter at a time.
Zoe writes a series of columns for Homes & Gardens' By Design, sharing her insights and experiences in the world of design. Through her work and her writings, Zoe encourages everyone to create a home that works hard and loves you back, one that wears in, not out. A home, she believes, is where one tells their story, one art piece, one chipped plate, and one wine-stained counter at a time.
