At Emily June Designs, we have the experience and expertise to deliver the truly unique look associated with the ‘unexpected’ interior design style.

We often get clients who want something out of the ordinary – a truly outstanding look, something to be found only in their homes/offices and nowhere else. So they want a guarantee that the look they will get is a unique one: which they can be sure that no replica of exists anywhere.

It is easy to understand where that desire comes from. Going through various professionally designed spaces, it is easy to get the impression that they are all styled using one single template. That is because they all tend to look alike. This is due to the fact that all mainstream interior design styles are based on the same basic principles. And so while there may be minor differences here and there, you tend to find that the end results from all interior design styles tends to share too many similarities. Against that background, if someone wants a truly unique look, they have to go for the ‘unexpected’ interior design style.

The core principle

The core principle behind the unexpected interior design style is to go against the norm. This may be a matter of using the classic interior design, but without the symmetry that usually defines it. So someone with a keen eye looking at it will immediately discover that it is classic, but with that one key element omitted (say, in favor of a freer flow of elements). It may also be a matter of using the modern interior design style, but using antique décor (which one would ordinarily associate with traditional interior design). At yet another level, it could be a question of using maximalist interior design, but with just a single color palette -- as opposed to the symphony of colors many have come to associate with maximalism. Conversely, it could be a challenge of using minimalist interior design, but with multiple color palettes, patterns and textures: as opposed to the monochrome many have come to associate with minimalism… It is literally all about doing the unexpected, but still maintaining some elegance while at it.

How we help you in implementing the ‘unexpected’ interior home design

Firstly, we help you in creating an entirely new interior design style just for you: which would be the ‘unexpected’ style in this case. The end-goal here is to come up with an absolutely unique look: something that is not to be found anywhere else. To this end, we may take one of the mainstream interior design styles as a template, then infuse elements that are totally unexpected to go with it. This is a step in which we walk together, as we explore your preferences/specifications and try to see how we can create a truly unique and unexpected (yet still elegant) look within that context.

Avoiding commonplace looks

Drawing on our experience and skills, we help you identify and avoid the ‘commonplace’ looks associated with other interior design styles. This is usually an exercise in defiance: as we go against the ‘dogmas’ that we normally strictly adhere to in conventional interior design styles.

Maintaining a professional look

Further, drawing on our experience and skills, we help you in ensuring that what you end up with still has a professional look (in spite of it being unconventional). This is typically the most challenging aspect of unexpected interior design implementation. We strive to ensure that what you end up with is still something that is elegant. We strive to ensure that in spite of defying some interior design conventions, we still style your space in a manner that leaves it looking and feeling very pleasant.

Taking care of functionality

At yet another level, we help you in maintaining functionality while implementing the unexpected interior design style. With these unconventional interior designs, it is usually very easy to overlook functionality (and safety) as one strives to attain a certain look. We help you to avoid that blunder: by keeping the need for functionality and safety in mind all through.

Completing the journey

More often than not, attaining the ‘unexpected’ interior design style entails rearranging the décor elements you have, and perhaps acquiring several new ones. We walk with you through that entire journey. That we do by first identifying the décor elements that need to be rearranged, and those that need to be replaced. For those that need to be replaced, we walk with you through the purchase and installation steps. For those that need to be rearranged, we help you with the actual rearrangement. The end result is always an ‘unexpected’ interior style that is nonetheless elegant and professional-looking.
