Cari Giannoulias: Layered, Livable, Lovely Luxe

Before interior design became her full-time passion in Chicago, creative dynamo Cari Giannoulias lived in LA and worked for a stretch within the music division of Jersey Films and Records (Danny Devito* and Stacey Sher were at the helm). Later, she oversaw the creative between big brands, talent, the film, and the studio for Universal Pictures in the Motion Picture Marketing Department.

When Giannoulias relocated to Chicago with her husband to build their first home, she ultimately hired herself for the design job (shazam!) and nailed it. The rest is history.

Tell us about your creative process.

My creative process is an organic one. I spend a lot of time in the initial meetings getting to know the client–showing them images and seeing what they gravitate towards. Asking questions about their lifestyle and how they spend time in their home is key. This is most important because making a room look gorgeous is one thing, but making it functional as well is much more difficult.

I think most of my clients would say to you that they really do live in every space of their home.

How do you provide each client with a truly custom design? 

It’s a balancing act to make each project unique through the pairing of precious and conventional.

I always stay true to my aesthetic which I deem as “understated sophistication.” I feel every room must have personal elements, antiquities, and then a mixing of periods, styles, scales and textures to make it interesting.

Where does your inspiration come from?

 It sounds like such a cliché, but I do find inspiration everywhere. I’m constantly taking photos and figuring out ways to reinterpret what I’ve seen into my designs.

How do you score those perfect pieces for your clients?

Once I get to know the person, the rest flows pretty naturally. I am in a constant state of search–always looking for that perfect piece.

Every time I find something I love I hold onto it. When I find the perfect client for it, I match the two up. I have piles and piles of interesting furniture, lighting, art, etc. From there, I plug and play for months on making everything come together.

Any favorite sources for antiques?

Some of the best ideas come from perusing antique sites such as Decaso, Pamono, and Kairos Collective. These sites are well-curated and can sometimes spark an idea for a modern reinterpretation.

The Designer’s Favorite Paint Colors!

For paint colors, a tried and true neutral for me is BENJAMIN MOORE Collingwood. It changes with every room but can waver between Modern and Traditional.

benjamin moore collingwood | Benjamin Moore Collingwood, a light gray that will keep your space ...
BENJAMIN MOORE Collingwood OC-28. This color is part of the Off-White Color collection. Inherently sophisticated and endlessly versatile, the Off-White collection offers subtle nuances of whites that suit tranquil, serene environments as well as creates color-enhancing accents for dynamic spaces.

Another wonderful color is FARROW & BALL Dead Salmon. It has a handsome rosy hue if that’s even possible.

Dead Salmon Farrow & Ball paint color. It's like a pink that's gone gray over time and taken on this wonderful patina. Moody and gorgeous." -Philip Gorrivan FARROW & BALL DEAD SALMON 28 #farrowandballdeadsalmon #bestpinkpaintcolor #bestrosepaintcolor
FARROW & BALL Dead Salmon. No. 28. An aged salmon pink A subtle shade whose name refers to the flat or ‘dead’ finish of an aged pink painted at Kedleston Hall in 1805, Dead Salmon has a magical quality to it as everyone sees it differently. Be it a strong mushroom steeped in history, or a warming buff neutral, this deep salmon pink creates the most subtle and serene of environments suitable as a backdrop in candlelit dining rooms.

I also love FARROW & BALL Parma Gray. It’s the perfect blue grey that makes a big impact on walls.

Farrow and Ball -Parma Gray
FARROW & BALL Parma Gray – No. 27. A cool mid blue. Reading as a cool blue, Parma Gray is another color attributed to the great colorist John Fowler. Used as the backdrop to numerous costume dramas, it creates the perfect period feel when contrasted with Wimborne White. Though its cool nature can feel quite formal when contrasted with a bright white, it is a firm favorite for those who prefer a clean and crisp finish.

    Lovely and inspiring! I love her entire design esthetic.

    It doesn’t surprise me that she started in a music field and went into design. Many people who are creative in one genre are also creative in another field of art. I started in music & theatre (got a music degree), studied interior decorating & had a business for awhile, and am now again back into music more. Along the way, a stint in marketing was part of my story too.

    Often one area of art teaches us to be more cognizant of all the other areas too because of their wonderful interaction in our world. And oftens artists of all genres have had to learn to market our own ‘wares’ so you’ll find very creative people have also had to learn that field too. They’re all so amazingly connected.

    All the lovely facets of the world of beauty at our feet to share. mmmm…….. 🙂

    Your post has inspired me today! Thank you. 🙂

      Mmmmmmmmm. Yes. I am nodding. It can be a seamless transition when your heart is that of an artist. For me, baking bread, styling a vignette in a room, painting a picture, and writing a song at the piano are all very natural expressions flowing from the same source. Artists are always the best designers and architects! Happy weekend, beautiful soul.

    Bravo Cari! What talent on display here. I love the little dolls in the bedroom windows!! And the powder room, so unexpected in its finishes and simplicity. Love her style!
