Inspiring + Talented BIPOC Everyone Should Know About :: Interior Designers || Home Decor+Design || Dreamery Events

image via Janea Brown

….Continued from original BIPOC post….
 
If you’re a designer or have long followed the world of design and home, if doesn’t take long to realize that there is a small number who are well-known and household names who are Black or People of Color. And that’s because of barriers preventing them from entering the industry as easily, a lack of representation, resources, publicity, etc…but let me tell you there are some amazing BIPOC designers and creators that should long have been household names! I learned about Black Artists + Designers Guild, founded by Malene Barnett, a non-profit founded in 2018 to “foster and uplift its community, which offers a directory of independent artists, designers, and makers for people to learn about, as well as host events and workshops for its members and the industry.” Immerse yourself in all it has to offer and introduce you to all the immensely talented BIPOC.
Want to learn about even more inspiring black designers beyond the list below? Be sure to follow the Black Interior Designers Network and the Black Artists + Designers Guild.
 
Etsy, a favorite of mine and so many, is a wonderful resource for amazing BIPOC small businesses and creators, and they’re making it even easier to support and black designers/makers through their curated editors’ picks page. Be prepared to spend hours looking and adding beautiful pieces to your cart, plus you’ll be supporting smaller businesses which is an even greater act of support!
 
Like I mentioned in the original BIPOC post, this list not only consists of black designers but several others within in the BIPOC community. So, sit back and start gathering ideas for your home and making room in your shopping cart, because there is plenty of beautiful inspiration below…..

1. Justina Blakeney

A post shared by Justina Blakeney (@justinablakeney)

All hail Justina Blakeney + The Bungalow!!!! I’ve been a longtime follower of her unique and distinct bohemian jungle aesthetic and artful pieces and collections. I admire her so much, she is the bold bohemian I aspire to be! Give her a follow, buy one of her beautiful pieces…now now now!! She is certainly one of the leaders in the bohemian decor trend, embracing an aesthetic that is retro-inspired, colorful, patterned, and absolutely full of plants! I love her soo much

2. Joy Cho // Oh Joy!

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Joy Cho / Oh Joy! (@ohjoy)

When I first dove into the world of lifestyle and design blogs, when it was just gaining traction and myself debating starting my own, Joy Cho of Oh Joy! was one of the first bloggers I began following along. Her style is creative and colorful and all kinds of unique, it was an inspiration to me that she was stepping of and letting all that shine. Through the years her brand has gone, she’s had big campaigns with Target and she’s also taken a step back from mass blog producing in order to be more intentional. And she was certainly one of the few, if not only blogger of Asian descent at the top of the design game of influencers, and she still is! 

3. Dabito // Old Brand New

A post shared by DABITO (@dabito)

I’ve been a longtime fan of Dabito, founder and creative director behind Old Brand New, a creative studio focusing on all areas of design, art direction, branding, photography, and brand partnerships. You can clearly see he loves his color, it’s one of his signatures, but so is perfectly mixing modern and vintage pieces, and creating a DIY approach to design that is beautiful. His works has been featured in many top publications, and even produces the photography for Justina Blakney’s The New Bohemians Handbook series.

We all know how much I love thrifting and salvaging vintage pieces, especially reclaimed wood and Woodward Throwback is doing just that, reclaiming wood and doing woodworking with pieces salvaged in Detroit. And you know how their story started?? By riding their bikes around Detroit looking for reusable materials to furnish their aparamtne that was also a way of cleaning up their streets.

A post shared by Estelle Colored Glass (@estellecoloredglass)

One of my absolute favorite, and #1 on the list of things I look for whenever I’m thrifting, is vintage colored glassware. And those unique special vintage finds, particularly Stephanie Summerson Hall’s grandmother’s love for antiquing which she would joining along and her colored glasses collection — is what inspired Stephanie to create Estelle Colored Glass, a luxury brand of hand-blown colored glass cake stands and stemware that range in beautiful pastel to jewel tones. Each piece is made by glass artisans in Poland and it’s no one wonder they’ve been coined “jewels for your table.” Her pieces are truly beauties, like a modern vintage colored-glass treasure. 

22. Linoto

A post shared by Linoto (@linotodotcom)

Months ago when I was on my search for sustainable loungewear, I found myself on a deep-dive of all things linen, a material I absolutely love to wear, and that’s when I came across Linoto — a well loved 100% linen bedding, bath and home line. I love the feel of linen, and never thought about linen sheets, which are known to help sleep better. When it comes to entertaining I love using linen napkins and tablecloths, it’s such a refreshing and effortless fabric to use on any occasion. The founder Jasonn Evege set out to create USA made artisanal linen pieces that are thoughtfully handcrafted to the same standards a designer dress would be made. They’re certainly on the higher end of price for bedding, but linen is an investment fabric, one that will last, feels luxurious and one of most sustainable you can spend your money on. 

23. Crafted Glory Design

To all my fellow thrifters and lovers of antique treasures from yesteryear, sit back and enjoy perusing through the beautiful selection of Denniston House!

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿

About Us

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Whether it’s your wedding, birthday, shower or custom dessert – Dreamery Events believes you shouldn’t have to worry about anything except celebrating and making wonderful memories.
