Watch Designer Susan Spieler stage a beautiful Hope Ranch Home on Design Santa Barbara with Michael Kourosh. On this Episode Susan enhances the architectural features and bringing it all together so that the home is very appealing to all different life styles and clientele. It’s a matter of design and element to enhance the different features through balance of proportion, design, pattern, texture, and tradition elements. Susan has kept it natural, interesting and non descriptive. She also believes in using color to shape the home and enhance its features.
Susan chose 3 Jute rugs throughout the house for its light color to accent the wood floor and give a natural yet elegant feel to the home.
Jute’s are natural and woven by hand. Jute rugs are a major export from the far east in the 18th century. Bangladesh currently exports nearly 2 million tonnes a year.
Jute is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. It is produced primarily from plants in the genus Corchorus, which was once classified with the family Tiliaceae, more recently with Malvaceae, and has now been reclassified as belonging to the family Sparrmanniaceae. The primary source of the fibre is Corchorus olitorius, but it is considered inferior to Corchorus capsularis. “Jute” is the name of the plant or fiber that is used to make burlap, Hessian or gunny cloth.
For the Living area Susan had a custom made Alberta sectional as an excellent blend of modern and classic flare. The base is modern and the color is contemporaneity which goes excellent with the exterior bringing the outside in. The chaise on it is also very known for guest to lay on and watch TV, its comfortable and fits a lot of people.
Susan adds that with staging everything is simplified, that is why there inst any art on the walls.
