“But does it match?”

It’s a question we hear often, and one we’d argue matters a lot less than whether it works.

In fact, we usually don’t want things to match too perfectly. A room gets much more interesting when something old sits next to something new, or a piece feels just unexpected enough to shake things up. The secret is making sure there’s still a connection somewhere, even if you can’t immediately put your finger on it.

So next time you’re wondering whether two pieces match, ask instead: Do they make each other more interesting?

If the answer is yes, you may have found your match. 🤝🏼

Have you ever noticed the golden egg sitting at the center of Javier’s dining room table? Did you know it’s Christofle’s modern interpretation of an 18th-century knife urn?

Better question: have you ever even heard of a knife urn?

Originally used to store cutlery and displayed as decorative objects in dining rooms, these ornamental pieces have been around since the late 18th century. And Javier is predicting they may just be the next big thing in antique collecting.

As he tells Southern Living part of their appeal is the mystery. The best objects are often the ones that make someone stop and ask, “What is that?!”

So consider this your sign to start hunting. 👀

Thank you Southern Living and Heather Bien for including Javier in “6 Collectibles That Could Soon Be In High Demand, According To Experts.”

And if you find a great knife urn before we do, we’d like to know about it. 🏆

From heart to HART. 🤍

A look inside the inspiration, details and design decisions behind HART’s new Dallas home. Bright, eclectic, and collected, just as we imagined it.

Mirrors can do so much more than fill an empty wall. We use them to:

🪞Bounce light
🪞Create a sense of depth
🪞Reinforce architecture
🪞Break up the expected

Sometimes that means an oversized mirror that holds its own like a piece of art, other times it’s a tiny vintage find tucked into an overlooked corner or layered among a collection.

The trick is to think less about where a mirror is “supposed” to go and more about what the room needs it to do.

A great host knows it’s never just about the food.

The dining room itself shapes the experience, creating a space where conversation comes naturally and guests want to stay awhile.

Here are five elements we always consider:

1. A table that fits the scale of the room and the way you entertain.
2. Chairs comfortable enough to linger over drinks or dessert.
3. Lighting that creates atmosphere instead of just task illumination.
4. Materials that become more beautiful with every use.
5. Enough negative space for the room to breathe.

Because the best dining rooms feel just as inviting on a Tuesday night as they do during the holidays. 🍽️

Not all texture has to be rough.

When we think about adding texture to a home, materials like linen and wood usually come to mind first. While those elements add beautiful character, they’re only one side of the story.

Velvet introduces texture in a completely different way.

Its plush surface catches the light, creating subtle dimension while bringing an unmistakable softness to a space. It’s one of the few materials that adds visual interest without relying on a coarse or heavily woven finish.

The best part? Velvet is incredibly versatile. It can become the focal point of a room through a statement sofa or quietly elevate a space with something as simple as a trim detail.

The key is balance. Pair velvet with natural materials and clean architectural lines, and it feels fresh rather than formal.

Because great rooms aren’t built from one texture. They’re built from contrast.

The best lighting plans don’t rely on a single fixture. They layer light.

If you look closely at nearly any Burkle Creative project, you’ll notice one thing repeated over and over… every room has multiple sources of light working together. It’s one of Javier’s core design principles because great lighting doesn’t just illuminate a space, it shapes how it feels.

Every room should include three layers:

Ambient :: Your primary source of light that fills the room and establishes the overall mood.

Task :: Focused lighting designed for a specific activity like reading, working, cooking, or getting ready.

Accent :: The finishing touch. Picture lights, sconces, table lamps, and decorative fixtures that add warmth and draw attention to the details you want people to notice.

When all three work together, a home feels balanced. It’s not about adding more light. It’s about adding the right light. 💡

A great view is a bonus. A great interior is intentional. ✨

For our Ritz-Carlton project, sculptural furnishings, rich materials, tailored upholstery, and thoughtful layers come together to create a sophisticated high-rise retreat. Jewel-toned fabrics add depth, warm wood tones bring balance, and carefully curated silhouettes give each room its own point of view.

The result is a home that balances drama with comfort. A sophisticated retreat designed for life above the city. A reminder that the best interiors don’t just stand out, they rise above.

A room without texture is a little like an outfit without accessories.

The foundation may be beautiful, but it’s the layers that bring it to life.

Cane, wicker, and woven details add character in a way color alone never can. They introduce pattern without feeling busy, soften hard surfaces, and help a space feel layered rather than flat.

A few of our favorite ways to bring natural texture into a room:

👉🏼 Furniture: Start with woven pieces that anchor the room.
👉🏼 Lighting: Add texture where the eye naturally travels.
👉🏼 Accessories: Layer baskets, trays, and objects with character.
👉🏼 Walls: Raffia frames and woven mirrors bring dimension vertically.

The best rooms aren’t built around a single material. They’re thoughtfully layered, balancing smooth with rough, polished with organic, and old with new to create spaces that feel inviting.

There’s something special about a great accent chair. 🪑

It can anchor a room, fill an empty corner, introduce a new pattern, or become the piece everyone gravitates toward. While they may not be the largest item in a space, they often have the biggest personality.

We love using accent chairs as an opportunity to take a risk. A heritage print, an antique find, or an unexpected silhouette can add character, making a room feel personal.

This week, we’re pulling up a chair and sharing some of our favorites. From timeless classics to statement-makers, these are the pieces that prove good design is always worth sitting down for.
