Timeless design

San Fransisco based designer <a href="http://www.jiunho.com/interiors.php">Jiun Ho</a> creates rooms that are harmonious and balanced by using textures against clean lines, simple fabrics and inviting shapes. I am attracted to his interior spaces because they re so well thought out and the scale of everything always seems right. Symmetry and restraint play a prominent role in all his work.  If I had to describe his interiors I would say they are tranquil,  classic and timeless, three characteristics that make beautiful interiors.   He describes his work as   " <i>... all about style rather than fashion, all about relaxed living rather than studied formality."  </i><br /><i> </i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMyJNFqew287nO74SSTFj9iNrZbY8Nbjy06ACXuNO7YQrX08k2eOPMEiB8VEf-Zo-sHmpbzBYzthyphenhyphenkwJ6lZfpba-ZdITN3CM7f6WWJ8tcIx08_QDvgZW9v9zOgCe40xpCHZ_erVMCNXLr8/s1600/4445991893_hastings01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="633" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMyJNFqew287nO74SSTFj9iNrZbY8Nbjy06ACXuNO7YQrX08k2eOPMEiB8VEf-Zo-sHmpbzBYzthyphenhyphenkwJ6lZfpba-ZdITN3CM7f6WWJ8tcIx08_QDvgZW9v9zOgCe40xpCHZ_erVMCNXLr8/s640/4445991893_hastings01.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDbLg7pFnEnH1EIK6r_F2p8nZQaB3Fd7sBY6Ehtyti3TAS2v6Wvu1sErG8ki4SLPBOs7utaF0W5pxqbblShz2Gm1-P-WdWz6KqFeEaptS0Nih-WOUwulf-pcQ2R8f3d7sVqzn8iQge1wQa/s1600/Juin+ho+Decorati.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div> The quite simplicity of this entrance is perfect.  Some might consider it too stark, but I always find clean lines and minimalism  invite one to relax. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyZVQkelMO_csXwOxu5HiqMu69SdrLl6hubAUN-NK5PFjaiSHdyf6qYuPaLoZpBE0xCvjHvzcx57TePXCEFG7IqWL90DF4k4_p_peDppGyvizszQeH6L3DKFqZoKChF8lanRvBx9X_vc8I/s1600/Jiun+Ho.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyZVQkelMO_csXwOxu5HiqMu69SdrLl6hubAUN-NK5PFjaiSHdyf6qYuPaLoZpBE0xCvjHvzcx57TePXCEFG7IqWL90DF4k4_p_peDppGyvizszQeH6L3DKFqZoKChF8lanRvBx9X_vc8I/s640/Jiun+Ho.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>This small kitchen space uses an island to increase storage and provide an eating area. Although the cabinets are a darker colour, the lighter walls, floor and  seats balance the darks nicely.  <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOCH5twmlCoQ52_980kz_kTY7uPE1pqT4gdx1vpZ36P9MbOrnxRbUVYjJbUg4S66msCuco9Kq9X3DG7mhfY1qnORrP3IOa1hWEg48VP4MjAv5LeaNXNEpd9HhWl0qfHDHMNztdSkwLEcS/s1600/Hartford+st+residence+Ho.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="633" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOCH5twmlCoQ52_980kz_kTY7uPE1pqT4gdx1vpZ36P9MbOrnxRbUVYjJbUg4S66msCuco9Kq9X3DG7mhfY1qnORrP3IOa1hWEg48VP4MjAv5LeaNXNEpd9HhWl0qfHDHMNztdSkwLEcS/s640/Hartford+st+residence+Ho.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>There is an overall lack of "objects" here,  but those that are chosen have perfect scale for the room.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilzUnY2Cp0dr1BhqZV8qNTlre2WSX7RlFkQe6zsjx4wx_47U2qOESlelyO2KN15C_T88OaPQN2z7m_IaZ10idVkwrQBLSv2ImGIpcbWjMHvn0EmI403Q_dIaS1Qd2jmivAw2QVXyEVTG9L/s1600/Jiun+ho+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilzUnY2Cp0dr1BhqZV8qNTlre2WSX7RlFkQe6zsjx4wx_47U2qOESlelyO2KN15C_T88OaPQN2z7m_IaZ10idVkwrQBLSv2ImGIpcbWjMHvn0EmI403Q_dIaS1Qd2jmivAw2QVXyEVTG9L/s640/Jiun+ho+3.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br />In his palettes  you usually find one colour as an accent  used with darker neutrals - in this case  brown red .
