Gil Walsh Interiors is not your ordinary design firm. It has been described as a place where thoughtful solutions live. A place that transforms space. A place that creates worlds of comfortable elegance. A place where timeless style lives.
My passion for interior design began when I was a child. My parents and grandparents taught me to love art, music, and design. My mother studied art and had a wonderful eye and great style. Our outings to the museum and symphony gave me an appreciation for art, culture, architecture, and design.
My designs usually begin from the ground up. I might start with a Persian carpet, a woven silk rug from India, a natural sisal rug, or a tufted rug with a classical design and many shades of subtle color. This is the foundation, the center of the room, on which to build the design and develop an interesting color scheme. Some projects actually begin from the top down, taking inspiration from the artwork, incorporating the colors and contrast into the layers of the room.
The first element to consider is the focal point. In a bedroom it is usually the bed, however it could also be a fireplace, a beautiful piece of art, or a chandelier.
The second element is the bedding. Since you will spend many hours per day in your bed choose high quality luxurious bedding that reflects your personality.
The third element is to accessorize the bedroom. Artwork often works best, contrasting accents, unique and interesting accessories, fresh flowers, and a few personal photos add warmth, significance and personality to the room.
I like to keep my nightstand simple. My love of reading means there will always be a book there. The topics range from art, to design, or a page turner mystery.
" Let me start by saying that the sheets I ordered arrived in beautiful box which would be great if you gave these as a gift! I will not be giving this set as a gift as I am in love with them! Super high end and comfortable sheets that feel luxurious against your skin. Super happy with this purchase and will be telling all my friends about them and referring them to my Interior Design Clients as well! "

"The 700 thread count St Tropez sheet set lives up to the hype! These sheets are certainly the best sheets I have ever slept in and I am beyond thrilled with this purchase. The sheets are soft, smooth, breathable and simply luxurious."
“The sheets are absolutely amazing! Getting a good night rest is heavily weighted on good sheets. Since I have been using them, I have been sleeping like a baby and find myself in a better mood the next day because of my restful night”..
"Elegant Strand's luxurious bedding strikes the perfect balance between silky smooth and cool and crisp.You can't put a price on a good night's sleep; these sheets are priceless!"
"The Perfect Medium: These sheets hit that ideal (and elusive) spot between soft and crisp. I find sateen and silky sheets too slippery and warm, but these are perfect. The embellishments are sleek and distinctive, but work well with the other bedding I own. (Even the packaging is lovely.) Plus, Elegant Strand, unlike so many other sheet producers, seems to have fully adapted to the new world of super-thick mattresses. Not only does the bottom sheet fit easily, the top sheet is extra wide so it can be tucked in, no matter how thick your mattress. I find these sheets to be as good, if not better, than sets I own by famous makers that cost far more. A great bargain and worth every cent!"
"They are so soft to sleep on. Love them."
"My wife and I felt the sheets were soft to the touch and excellent quality.We could feel the elegance."
"Elegant Strand is a luxury brand with superior artisanship. We love the feeling of the bedding, so soft to the touch and how elegant it looks."
"There’s an upscale level of craftsmanship and luxury to the brand. It’s the finest cotton bedding I have ever felt."
"The loveliest sheet set!"
"When I received these beautiful sheets, I was very impressed by their style. Once I placed them on my bed, I found myself further impressed by the elegance and quality of the sheets. Attention to detail and style in the creation of them is apparent, and the feel of them is absolutely divine. Now I REALLY look forward to bedtime!"
"I recently received my Elegant Strands set of sheets and could not be more pleased with the product and service. The elegant packaging just made you feel that you were about to experience true luxury. That evening getting into bed I was in a state of pure tranquility and had the best night’s sleep. I now have to order more sets for all my bedrooms."
