Q & A

Q:When designing a room, what are your three favorite categories of fabrics currently in our showroom?

A:Our three favorites are: performance velvets, Geometric Velvets (like Allegra Velvet and Pomfret), and botanicals such as Central Park.

Q:Are you more pattern or plain in your design selections?

A:With fabrics we tend to be plainer for the “base” – such as a sofa and more patterned for the “layers” such as the pillows.

Q:What are your three favorite colors at the moment that you seem to be designing more with?

A:At APD blue is a perennial. Every season, every home, town, or country in some way or the other. Green seems to be the color of the moment, however. We find emeralds, hunter greens and jades to be permeating our design schemes at the moment! We are also finding a general shift away from cooler tones to warmer tones and are doing a lot more sand and oatmeal.

Q:What are the three categories of wallpaper that you are drawn to the most?

A:We love MURALS and find them to be a beautiful addition in a foyer or a dining room We are also very fond of VINYLS in children’s rooms and in hallways or basements as vinyl can take a beating! We also tend to gravitate towards GEOMETRIC papers as they bring an almost three-dimensional quality to the space.

Q: Who is your favorite pet from all the projects you have worked on? How have you somehow incorporated this pet into your design?

A: We have so many favorite pets that it is hard to choose just one. Lately, we are hanging out the most with Ginger / Ginny who is a darling cockapoo who we have known since she arrived in her home. Every couch in the home is designed with a special Ginny seat. She picks a corner pillow and burrows in to keep her eye on us and makes sure no one is slacking off. Love galore!

Q:Can you share an anecdote that symbolizes a day in your life?

A:Every single day at Anjali Pollack Design is organized chaos. We showed up in Westchester one morning – jobsite 1 – someone else’s carpet was delivered to us and was about to be installed wall to wall. Jobsite 2 – marble slab to be installed at the top of the primary bedroom tub cracks down the middle during delivery.

Our thanks to Anjali Pollack for sharing her vision and design journey with us.
