MAYA ROMANOFF
UPDATES LOGO
Suite 6-167
The January
15 launch date
marks the oneyear anniversary of the passing
of founder, namesake, and
creative force, Maya Romanoff.
Joyce Romanoff, Maya’s wife and
the company’s president, was
intent to meet this significant
anniversary with momentum
and a thoughtful evaluation of
Maya’s history and the company’s
future.
“Maya taught us so much!”
said Joyce Romanoff, “In honor
of his spirit and his legacy, we
made the decision to change the
company’s logo to just MAYA.
At the 45th anniversary of our
company, we are forging ahead
with strength and a lawless sense
of play worthy of our namesake
— he would be thrilled to see us
continue his legacy of creating
beautiful, innovative materials.”
The new MAYA logo is de-
signed to resemble dimensional
planes, referring to the surfaces
upon which Maya Romanoff
installs their diverse collection
of materials. This deliberate rebranding was developed collaboratively with Thirst, a communication design firm in Chicago
led by principal Rick Valicenti,
a significant presence in the
global graphic design world and
Cooper-Hewitt National Design
Award recipient.

“sophisticated, natural earthiness”
that “translates easily to fashion,
beauty, industrial design, home
furnishings and interiors.” Since
the announcement, darker, more
saturated colors are all the rage.
So what is behind the trend?
“It’s not just a color, it’s the
depth of color,” Balsam said. “It’s
more that designers and clients are
embracing getting away from ‘neutral land’ and bringing in more color and coziness. Have a little more
fun. Take a few more risks. Marsala,
they were saying, represents food,
wine, entertaining and enjoying life.
I think it is symbolic of that.”
Designers believe there’s a larger reason for the trend other than
simply being bored with neutral
colors: the improving economy.
“In bad times, people pick
neutrals because they’re afraid of
investing in something that’s not
going to be lasting so everybody
picks beige, oatmeal, tan or pale
gray because they’re safe,” Stringer
said. “Then, as we come out of bad
economic times and we’re feeling
flush again, we’re like ‘Hey, I want
to bust out. I’m tired of wearing
gray pants and white shirts. I want
to go for some color.”
Though they may not always
follow the trends, designers are ex-
HICKORY CHAIR/PEARSON, SUITE 1477
cited about the current movement
in color because it opens up more
possibilities than what has generally
been acceptable in previous years.
“I think the design community
is thinking, ‘Let’s not play it safe
anymore. Let’s go back to color,’”
Balsam said. “Everything’s starting
to look so duplicitous, and the
economy is doing better, clients are
feeling better, and they really felt
that it was a time to embrace the
energy that color brings to a space.
Is it a little bit ‘riskier’? I guess it appears that way, in particular when
it’s paint, but it is just paint.
“I would really encourage
people to try more color and
bring more color into their
homes in larger doses when
possible. Just enjoy it.”

we all seemed to be on the same
wavelength,” Stringer said. “What
I said to my designers when I was
conceptualizing it was I wanted
to create a space that was overtly
decorative, that harkened back
to the highly decorative spaces of
a different era. I’ve gotten really
bored with a modern obsession

O
utdoor spaces are
booming right
now. It seems
everyone has or wants a
porch, deck or patio. The
interesting thing is how
similar today’s outdoor
spaces look to our indoor
spaces. Outdoor furniture
and fabrics are more creative and versatile than ever
before. These days, porches
often have everything a
living room has: rugs,
lamps, coffee tables, throw
pillows, even accessories
like mirrors and more.
We’re also seeing more
innovative choices in outdoor lighting. In the bright
sun of the great outdoors,
strong colors are popular
and fun. That’s because hot
hues stand up well to the intense light of the outdoors.
Outdoor kitchens rival their
indoor counterparts with
plenty of counter space,
storage space, fun bars,
grills and more.
On the coast, outdoor
spaces have heightened significance because people really want to embrace nature.
They are happy to blur the
lines between inside and out.
And these days, they can!

OUT-OF-THE-BOX
PREDICTIONS
ABOUT THE
FUTURE OF
OUTDOOR LIVING
AND DESIGN
N
othing
should stand
between you
and your
love of being
outdoors,
not even the walls of your home.
As consumers place a higher
priority on outdoor living spaces,
we seem to be edging closer to
round-the-clock living on the
outside, even for areas without
ideal climates. In fact, with manufacturers making furnishings
more durable and adaptable than
ever, outside is truly beginning
to feel more like home.
While the origins of outdoor
living relied on a pool and a
barbecue as an excuse to gather
OUTDOORS
outside, its evolution into a true
extension of the home began with
the idea of adding a kitchen, a
couch, a living room complete
with fireplace and big screen television. And it’s not likely to stop
there. In fact, outdoor living is
poised to become an even bigger
part of the home as we find more
excuses to stay outdoors.
On the horizon will very
likely be options for adding full
bathrooms and bedrooms to
your already functional outdoor
lifestyle, according to John Cannon, principal, Cannon Frank
A Design Corporation PC, who
designs high-end living spaces,
indoor and out.
“We have done so many out-
door kitchens with bars, grills,
large-screen televisions and outdoor fireplaces. The next thing
I would love to see is outdoor
sleeping,” Cannon said. “We’ve
done outdoor showers, so why
not outdoor bathrooms as well?
We are headed to full outdoor
living without the camping.”
Cannon, who calls the many
years spent on his family’s
screened porch in Michigan some
of the happiest times of his life,
says that products have helped redefine what is possible outdoors,
and as designers look to extend
outdoor living, the products will
continue to progress.
“I think we’re very close to
full-blown living outdoors,” CanSPRING 2015

non said. “We have so many outdoor materials and fabrics, ceiling
fans and heaters. You can even get
whole sound systems that work
outdoors — even underwater
speakers. We have the climate
control with heaters and fans. It’s
just a matter of someone taking
the last step and creating outdoor
sleeping. We’re that close.”
Cannon and his business partner Cary Frank have already begun presenting outdoor sleeping
options to clients, but they said
they would love to see a manufacturer offer mattress options
suitable for outdoors. Something
that would not mildew and that
is truly representative of the
mattress in your bedroom.
“An outdoor bed would really
knock consumers off their feet,”
Cannon said. “If you had an outdoor bed complete with dust ruffle
and headboard that was impervious to weather, complete with
covers — all things that could be
watered and cleaned. That would
bring this to a whole new level.”
Until then, Cannon and Frank
will continue to make outdoor
living and entertaining an essential part of your home. As the
2015 DreamHome outdoor room
designers, they offer their expertise on what life on the outside
will look like in the coming years.
BLURRED LINES
The outdoor space around your
home should feel like an extension of your home, which means
it should be designed accordingly.
“I would suggest that if you
agree to do an outdoor space,
follow the interior of your home.
I love a contemporary feel, and
my outdoor space would look
contemporary,” Cannon said. “It
should look something like your
house. You have to follow your
tradition of your home. If you
have French country indoors,
you can easily extend that out10
INRESIDENCE
doors. In fact, we just did a Louis
XIV outdoor area complete with
chandeliers, sconces and fabric
curtains. Nothing is off limits.”
COLOR CODING
Even though you want your
outdoor area to be an extension
or interpretation of your indoor
design, you don’t have to stay
with the same color scheme,
according to Frank.
“Outdoors could be neutral
or bright colors. If your design is
contemporary, your outdoor area
could be all white,” Frank said.
“There is no reason it can’t be. We
have done outdoor sheers that
have been up for two years. Just
dry clean them in the fall, and
they’re good to go. Or, you could
gear color toward a festive color
palate to go with the pool. If you
chose neutral inside, you may
want to express color outside.”
You can definitely be more
daring outside. “Don’t make it a
riot of color. Keep in mind that
you’ll be sitting inside looking at
outside, so it has to work, but it
can be almost a fantasy version of
what you have inside,” Frank said.
“In my early days, a lot of
clients did summer/winter looks
for their homes,” added Cannon.
“If that’s not trend inside, you
can do that outside and make it
more incredible.”
MADE IN THE SHADE
Being able to add shade outside has
opened up options for outdoor living where, before, there were none.
“We have done so much with
Tucci umbrellas, draw shades,
pergolas and gazebos,” Cannon
said. “We can permanently install these 10’ x 14’ cantilevered
umbrellas and they give you
so many incredible options for
shade, even in a massive area. I
don’t like to get so much sun, but
I do love being outdoors, so it
has to have some shade.”
SPRING 2015
SKYLINE DESIGN, SUITE 15-110
TAKE COVER
Fabrics have come a long way
and are perhaps the products to
thank the most for the leap from
outdoor entertaining to outdoor
living. There are even options for
using velvet and chenille. Outdoor fabric has become so good,
in fact, that Cannon and Frank
are even using it indoors.
“They are also perfect for
family room groups and children’s
rooms — anywhere that fabric
might get stained,” Cannon said.
“Just yesterday I was at a house
where we had done the breakfast room chairs in a pale aqua
herringbone. The client was asking
if there was anything she could do
about some stains. I told her all she
needed was soap and water. We
scrubbed it out and let it dry. The
stains were gone. That’s the real
beauty of indoor/outdoor fabric.”
KEEPING IT LIGHT
Outdoor lighting has come a
long way since the simplicity of
a porch light. With boundless
options, you can go bright and
bold or soft and sexy.
“I love low, soft ambient lighting outdoors that allows you to
still see the stars in the night sky,”
Frank said. “And now there are
so many LED lighting options,
you can use lighting candles to
light the pool. The best outdoor
TREASURE GARDEN, SUITE 1655
lighting should include multiple
sources of low, warm lighting
that’s inviting. Everyone looks
good in that kind of light.”
GET MOVING
Being outside gives you room to
move, so why not take advantage
of this with your furniture? Outside furniture should be anything
but static, according to Cannon.
“Rocking chairs. Chairs that
bounce and swivel. Outdoor
seating should be animated, have
movement,” Cannon said. “On
our porch, we had a swing, two
bouncing chairs and two rocking
chairs. Keep things moving —
and make sure it’s comfortable. It
has to be comfortable. If you love
ROBERT ALLEN | BEACON HILL, SUITE 633
how something looks but it’s not
comfortable, why bother?”
Among his favorite outdoor
things: swings.
“Swings are the best,” added
Cannon. “That’ something that
most showrooms don’t have. No
one has swings anymore. We would
love to see a great line of outdoor
swings. And they are real gift-y.”
MAKE IT YOURS
What you can do with your
outdoor living space is really only
limited by your own imagination.
Come up with a wish list, suggested
Cannon. “Think of all possibilities
of things you’d love to do inside and
do them outside,” he said. “If you
can dream it, you can get it done.”
