Frances Elkins – A Famous American Interior Decorator and Designer

Filed under Decorating News
Frances Adler Elkins was one of those legendary decorators of the early 20th century and was renowned for her inspired designs. Elkins was born in 1888 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and is the younger sister of the celebrated Chicago architect David Adler (1882-1949). David Adler was an architect specialized in the French architecture movement know as The Beaux Arts, and both Adler and Elkins worked together in Chicago and the Bay Area from the 1920s to 1930s. Some of her works in the Bay Area includes interior designing of Yerba Buena Club at the Golden Gate International Exposition and the 1939 fair at Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. Her designs integrate the prevailing style of various places with changing timeline in history, and ranges from country French to Chinoiserie to art deco. In the beginning she was influenced by the works of Jean-Michel Frank who is a French interior and furniture designer, and Alberto Giacometti, a sculptor who designed fixtures. She promoted these designers through her California-based interior design business established in 1918. Elkin’s career started when she and her husband Felton moved to Monterey, California where they purchased the historic abode Casa Amesti and transformed it into a masterpiece in architecture with their diverse architectural styles and periodic transformations. She showed exceptional talent in interior designs with classical details such as a dentil cornice and fluted door casings being added to the plastered wall and plank ceilings of the residence. Elkins had her own design principles which she tried first in the dwelling itself by arranging various English, French and Chinese furnishings on the polished redwood floors. She had a special affection for white, blue and yellow colors. Elkin’s creativity was enhanced by her friends who often urged her to decorate their homes. Her initial masterpieces include the clubhouse of Cypress Point Club which she designed in 1930. The same period saw her reputation spreading to San Francisco where she was the chosen interior designer for the city’s famous families such as the Haases and the Zellerbachs. The Zellerbach mansion in Broadway contains some of Elkin’s original designs. She was one of the architects among the trio who was elected by the San Francisco society. Her interior design works have influenced designers such as Michael Taylor. Her usage of colors within her interior design schemes were accepted with great enthusiasm during the early periods of the twentieth century, due to the unique style and fineness she had incorporated into her works. Her contemporary furnishings have the combination of fine antiques blended into them and the combination set a trend in the ‘eclectic’ style which had become popular ever since. Her designs stood ahead of the time they were designed and attract art lovers even today.

Decorating your home is getting more and more exciting, with new stores and designers exploding into the market right now. You want to decorate your home in a way that looks so great that everyone praises your sense of style and art and decoration.

When you will go your neighbor’s house and find out that it is so well decorated then you will also be tempted to decorate your sweet home in a way that attracts everyone and you want everyone to talk your sense of style everywhere.

Art is not like that and interior decorating and home decoration is a form of art. You have to apply your artistic side of imagination in this case. As we have said earlier you can surely take help and assistance from a specialist interior designer. But on the other hand an expensive design is art. It is because design is the product of the artist’s imagination and it is completely the fruit of his brain. You can not find in every interior designer store the same designed product and like that too every product is not the same. Price tag with products imply its value from the point of design, fabrication of that product, the material of that product etc. this kind of selected material such as furniture and other decorating pieces for interior decoration are only sold at some selected shops and stores only. Less the production of a product means higher the price of the product.
Nowadays, people love style with modesty and difference. They love designs with ultimate look and luxury when it comes to any furniture. Nowadays, furniture made of Oak wood is very much popular, due to the exclusive look and durability. Today’s designed furniture is really cool in design and comfort. Depending upon the size of your room you can select from range of twin size, full size, king size or queen size furniture collections.
People also prefer using theme based furniture in their homes that includes special color schemes. Furnishing experts can suggest the best furniture schemes for your bedroom depending upon the wall colors and flooring.
