Alfredo Paredes

By allowing us glimpses into 5 of his own homes, Paredes invites us to immerse ourselves in his creative process, giving us access to some of the same tools he uses across all projects to decorate rooms that feel modern even as they glamorize the past; and always, always give the sense that you are living your life in a very particular world although you are just in one room. Paredes is renowned for being a master of extrapolating an entire theme from one unique item, say the stripe of a crisp Oxford shirt or a well-worn piece of leather ranch gear, and with what some call his perfect visual pitch; creating vignettes and rooms with an energy that feels undeniably masculine and sophisticated thanks to deep wood tones, iron railings, rustic leathers, an overall patina, and earth tone soft furnishings.
