Spotlight Richard Cohen, Richard Cohen Landscape Richard Cohen and his landscape and construction company have been managing and designing outdoor spaces since 1976, both for personal and commercial properties. They are known for their functional and aesthetically created pool and outdoor living spaces, such as kitchens and sports bars. Honored many times over by the California Landscape Contractors Association, Beautification Awards program, Richard Cohen and his design team focus on making sure each homeowner creates their own special outdoor place. Q. What are some of the leading design trends now? A. Customers are still interested in creating an outdoor environment that acts as both an extension of their living space, as well as, a vacation getaway at home. We are building a lot of yards with exciting pool, spas and water features. Also, outdoor sports bars and outdoor kitchens are still very popular. There is also a lot of interest in creating a landscape that is water efficient. More of these yards today have little or no real grass and more drought friendly plant material. Many jobs have artificial turf or artificial putting greens both for recreation and water savings. Q. What are the keys to a successful outdoor living area? A. It must first of all be designed to create spaces that fit how the customer wants to use the yard. Attention must be paid to how the spaces flow and connect to the house. Make sure attention is paid to shade patterns and create comfortable seating areas for gatherings. Also, make sure any smoke from the BBQ will move away from where the people gather. Q. What projects do you really enjoy? A. One where the owner and contractor must be flexible enough to make adjustments and improvements to the project as it is being built. I also enjoy creating a total living space that includes a complete development of the property. I like to balance all the style elements of the hardscape, structure and pool, and to include enough green and color in the yard to create a warm welcoming feeling. The main thing for me is to develop a homeowner’s yard and garden to be a place that they can escape to without traveling. Many clients want a place where their friends and families can gather, and to know that their kids and their kid’s friends are in a safe environment. Outdoor living helps bring families together.

Spotlight Eloy Selles, West Coast General Manager, Porcelanosa Q. What makes Porcelanosa a leader in the architectural and design community? A. Porcelanosa is a leader in the architectural and design community not only because of the number of showrooms we have worldwide but also because of our one-stop shop business model. Porcelanosa, having been in business for over 40 years, has become a global leader in the manufacturing of tile, kitchen and bath products and over the years have added a number of product lines including natural stone, solid surface, and even ventilated façade systems. Having direct contact with the manufacturer of the product along with the level of quality that comes with our products as well as our environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes is what makes us a leader in the architectural and design community. Q. What are some design influences for 2017 (ie metal mosaics). A. At Porcelanosa’s 25th Annual International Exhibition, which took place in our headquarters in Spain, we saw a variable selection of premium ultra-thin large format tiles - part of our new Xlight Premium Collection. Due to the technical and aesthetic characteristics of this exclusive collection, XLIGHT Premium features a wide assortment of different models suitable for use on indoor walls and residential indoor floors, countertops and washbasin units and as cladding on furniture, doors and partitions, among many other alternatives. The tiles in the XLIGHT Premium collection also have book-match options available, which feature mirrored striation patterns. Q. How does your Inspiration Gallery help customers during the selection process? A. Our Inspiration Gallery is designed to be a source for inspiration for both homeowners and designers. We find that it is sometimes difficult for the homeowner to visualize how their spaces will look using our products, and our Inspiration Gallery is a great way to show examples of our products in a real life setting. Users can browse our Inspiration Gallery by Product type or Room type. Many consumers still have trouble visualizing a space using images however, which can make a remodel difficult. For this reason, many consumers hire design professionals who can ‘see the vision’ and they put their trust entirely in someone else’s hands. Eloy Selles
Porcelanosa now offers a service that allows consumers and design professionals to see a space before it is physically created. This ‘3D Rendering‘ service offers a three-dimensional scene created from a two–dimensional flat drawing. The scene shows attributes of light and details to create a realistic, life like experience. Q. What trends are you most excited about? A. Some of Porcelanosa’s newest trends for this year include: • The new XLIGHT Premium Collection of large format tiles • Various combinations of stone and cement-look tiles along with wood-look tiles • New metallic tiles and mosaics that can be used in many applications

Hand made in Italy and offering a natural, opaque look with a soft, velvety touch, the McQueen Sectional in contrasting black and charcoal distressed leathers exudes modern sophistication, from its clean lines and delicate legs to its vertical diamond tufting. Moveable headrests and opulent throw pillows in a rich teal leather add a stylishly comfortable finish. Can be customized with a variety of colors and leathers to suit your space and lifestyle. 949–585-9191, cantoni.com
The indoor olive tree is taking over and replacing the fiddle leaf fig in every home and design blog. What the design blogs don’t mention is that olive trees needs at least 6 hours of sunlight a day, so unless you plan on placing it in a southern facing window odds of indoor survival are pretty slim. Instant Jungle offers custom silk plants and trees so you can enjoy the latest plant trends in any corner of your home or office. Instant Jungle International, 714-850-9227, instantjungle.com

Space is becoming more important to homeowners than ever before. The busier we get, the more we need our environment to cater to our fast actions, allowing us to focus on what matters most. People are investing in functionality and simplicity of design. Open spaces, timeless pieces, neutral tones, and earthy textures are all trends that will stay for a long time as they generate a calmness and connection to nature in this fast paced world. With the retail industry changing and more people shopping on-line, the closet is becoming the modern day shopping experience. Custom closets are not just a luxurious addition, they have become a need in our every day life.
