Inspiration

Best Interior Designers: Keeping up to date on all the trends is essential for anyone who wants to conquer this market. In what ways do you keep current with new trends?

Jean Stephane Beauchamp: I read good magazines, but I do admit to avoiding trends as much as I can. I wait for trends to become staples before integrating anything into what I do.

Best Interior Designers: Which major international events do you attend/follow to get the latest novelties?

Jean Stephane Beauchamp: Very few. IDS usually.

Best Interior Designers: How would you describe your personal decorating style?

Jean Stephane Beauchamp: I will use the words of my clients to define my style: sophisticated, fresh, casual, unique, elegant and authentic. I would call it eclectic, colorful, playful yet elegant.

Best Interior Designers: All artists need some inspiration to work, and interior designers are artists too. So, what or who really inspires you?

Jean Stephane Beauchamp: Nature. Everything we need for inspiration can be found in nature: colors, contrast, tension, beauty, and even the sublime.

Projects

Best Interior Designers: How important is a perfect chemistry between you and your clients to achieve the best results?

Jean Stephane Beauchamp: Very. More importantly: communication.

Best Interior Designers: Choose the best pieces to compose a project can be the secret to getting the best overall result. Although it seems easy, this is a delicate task and needs full attention on time to execute. Do you have some tips for those who do not know well how to start a challenge like this?

Jean Stephane Beauchamp: Hire a designer that won’t do everything you want, but understands and pushes you to ultimately create a better home for you.

Best Interior Designers: Do you think working with teams in interior design is better or worse than working alone? Why?

Jean Stephane Beauchamp: I work alone. I hire freelancers. I want to be part of every step of every project. This works for me.

Jean Stephane Beauchamp: To keep working with great clients and maybe do a little more TV and more podcasts.

Best Interior Designers: Do you have a favorite project or a favorite story about one of your projects?

Jean Stephane Beauchamp: I generally have very few “repeats” with clients. One example: a client told me that her kitchen from 17 years ago still looks great and doesn’t need any updating. But I do have a few clients that find small projects for me just to stay in touch. That makes it all worth the while.
