Over the many years of practicing Interior Design, Jonathan has developed his "List of Essential Design Elements."

Color
"I use color to strengthen architectural elements or to create interest where no architectural elements exist."

Lighting
"Lighting is very important. I typically allow for three to four sources of illumination in most standard sized rooms."

Furniture
"Contrast elaborate and simple furniture, making your own rules; mix simple elements and rare objects, fine furniture and flea market finds."

Art
"Give art room to breathe. Avoid cluttering interior architectural space. Choosing an overall eclectic style allows for addition when you find new pieces."
