In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to put a spotlight on Hispanic interior designers. One thing I love about interior design is that it’s subjective. Everyone has their own style because we all come from different backgrounds. We are influenced by different cultures, art, and entertainment. It reflects in the way we dress and the way we decorate our homes. I’ve selected five talented Hispanic designers that have mastered the art of designing a space that is inspired.
About Hispanic Heritage Month
The duration of Hispanic Heritage Month started on September 15th and will end on October 15th. The month is about celebrating the culture and historical influence of Hispanic American citizens. During this month, we recognize the contributions of Hispanic Americans whose ancestors came from Mexico, the Caribbean, Spain, and Central and South America. Their achievements have impacted modern-day art, design, entertainment, and more in the United States.
Some of you already know that I’m a fan of French architecture. I came across this stunning 17th century farmhouse called Domaine de la Cavalière. For those who don’t know, “calvaliére” means “horsemen” in French. The domaine sits on 100 acres in Provence, France. The structure looks on to the Luberon Mountains and is surrounded by beautiful vineyards. Celebrity designer, Ken Fulk, repaired and redecorate the structure to transform it into the perfect getaway for families. Fulk’s design features a balance of french antiques and modern decor. The main farmhouse includes two kitchens, multiple living rooms, eight bedrooms, and a wine cave. The barn was turned into a guest house for the caretaker.
Domaine de la Cavaliére is owned by an American couple, Jeffrey and Laurie Ubben. Jeffrey Ubben is the founder of ValueAct Capital, an investment company that is based in San Francisco. The Ubbens fell in love with Luberon while on vacation, which led them to purchasing the property. Take a look inside the gorgeous domaine.
