Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Boston-based interior designer Rachel Reider for houzz.com. The interview’s focus is on a contemporary home in which Rachel incorporated diverse materials and textures to create what she calls “soft modern.” Click here to read the article and indulge in these gorgeous spaces.

What I love most about Rachel’s designs is her use of color and sculptural accent furniture. For example, take notice of her choice of accent tables when you browse her portfolio. Simply marvelous!

Which ideas would you borrow from Rachel’s designs?
