Home on the Range designer Lynne Bier enjoyed the Design Bloggers Conference last week and wants to spotlight renowned interior designer Bunny Williams, who gave the keynote speech on the final day of the conference.

Lynne Bier and Bunny Williams

If you’ve been following the conference buzz on Twitter, you may have seen how much everyone loved Bunny Williams’ talk  – so much that Bunny received a standing ovation!   She has a wise outlook on the industry, and her interior design style is a marriage of beauty and function. Blending modern and traditional pieces in her design, Bunny strives for—and achieves—timeless spaces that are comfortable and lived in, characteristics that are easily seen in the design of her own apartment:

Here are a few of the points from Bunny’s talk that Lynne Bier says really spoke to her:

Select several quality pieces of furniture and you will have them forever

Stay neutral on your main upholstered pieces and then you can use pillows and throws to change things up when you want to add a new touch

Study everything you can, travel for new ideas and stay organized.  Design takes a lot of work and focus

Give back to the community and mentor young designers

Mix in pieces from different eras and different countries to keep your design interesting
