Jasmin Reese— Interior Designer

“Every room needs something old in it to exude mystery.”

— Jasmin Reese, interior designer


An Excerpt from “/be-spok/[bespoke]: a philosophy of beauty” by Beth Benton Buckley:

Whether bright, airy, and modern or moody, cozy, and dramatic, Jasmin Reese’s homes always give 110 percent. That’s because the interior designer encourages her clients to bravely push 10 percent past their comfort zone — that, she has learned, is where the magic happens.

That extra jolt of creativity doesn’t automatically manifest itself in more furniture and an excess of décor, however. A true luxury in design is space: giving pieces room to breathe and, in turn, your eye the opportunity to leisurely appreciate its surroundings. Maximalism is good, but cramming a room with too many items is never a wise move. Likewise, she’s always careful to build in “palette cleanser” rooms, or a unique note in the floorplan that surprises when you least expect.
