We have been enamored by Ross Alexander<\/a>\u2019s distinctive design style for creating lush modern interiors full of character and personality with dynamic color, floral patterns, antiques, and the finest quality handcrafted pieces. A graduate of the New York School of Interior Design<\/a>, Ross<\/a> has worked at some of the country’s most prestigious interior design firms, including Robert Couturier<\/a>, Robert A.M. Stern Architects<\/a> and Charlotte Moss<\/a>, before starting his eponymous own studio, Ross Alexander Designs<\/a> in 2019. \u201cGrowing up next to a botanical garden\u2026nature is the keystone of my aesthetic\u201d <\/em>says Ross, which is evident in his design for interiors as well as custom murals, wallcoverings, rug collection and bespoke line of hand painted lampshades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are pleased to have Ross as our Style Guide, where he uses several heritage Indian botanical designs from Marigold Living<\/a> including Nargis<\/a>, Anna<\/a> and Hana<\/a> table linens, and Lotus-Yasmin reversible pillow covers<\/a>, in his client\u2019s beautiful house in the Hudson Valle<\/a>y<\/a> inspired by the Mid-Century Swedish interiors of Josef Frank<\/a>. Ross\u2019s significant breadth of knowledge of the decorative arts, craftsmanship and historical reference are reflected in his work , which we find very inspirational. At Marigold Living<\/a>, we create our block print collections<\/a> for modern living with an eye towards the rich history of Indian design that has stood the test of time, using centuries-old techniques of fine craftsmanship India is known for \u2013 and it is rewarding to see our designs fit so beautifully in the lovely interiors designed by Ross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ross shares his expertise on how to select and layer colors and patterns cohesively from varied cultures and periods to create interiors with depth. \u201cDifferent patterns and colors can easily work together when using the same hue but different tonalities\u201d<\/em> says Ross, along with his tips to \u201cmake even a simple lunch more festive<\/em>\u201d and \u201ckeeping flower arrangements dense but simple for high impact\u201d. <\/em>Read our Q&A below for more guidance and thoughtful pointers from Ross to fuel your own creativity and emulate his refined aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
