Design Spotlight: Powder Rooms By Janet Brooks
Custom Builder Magazine: For Janet Brooks designing powder rooms is the icing on the cake, providing an opportunity to be a little outrageous. “Powder rooms are the jewel of every home I design,” Janet says. “I like to condense the design direction of the home into one intense, detailed vignette that will be experienced for a few moments at a time. It’s a chance to design a little less practically and a bit more extremely than my clients may want in the main living spaces of their homes.” “Interior design is a rewarding career, and designing powder rooms is the icing on the cake … providing an opportunity to be a little outrageous.” View the online magazine article here.
Desert Living Magazine: The Timeless Designs of Janet Brooks
The March, 2020 issue of Desert Living Magazine profiles Janet Brooks in a piece entitled “The Timeless Designs of Janet Brooks”. Just the other day, Janet Brooks, one of Scottsdale’s leading interior designers, visited a home in The Boulders she had designed in 1992. “Here we were, more than 25 years later,” she says, “and my clients, who are from New York City, are still in love with their winter home.” Why? “I stay on top of trends, but I don’t like doing something so edgy that it dates you in two years. I like to go into a home I designed a decade or two ago and find it doesn’t scream, ‘Out of date!’” Janet describes her design style as “organ,c earthy, I like to use natural materials and local artisans. All of my designs start with the architectural style of the home. New-build projects are all about blending the exterior and interior architecturally and creating a palette of finishes that pulls it all together. Remodels, however, sometimes offer the challenge of balancing out of date architecture with the clients’ desires to freshen and modernize the interiors.” Click here to view the magazine

Luxe Magazine: Kitchen + Bath Arizona
The fine art of function and finesse plays out in today’s kitchens and baths. Whether updating or building new, industry experts put entertaining and unwinding at the center of every design. Leaning into the way clients live, technology and low-maintenance materials enhance convenience in the kitchen and relaxation in the bath. Natural details grace most designs, elevated by metal finishes and surprising new colors. And integration is all the rage, with undercounter, built-in and handle-less options. Everywhere you look, inspiration abounds. Advice from Janet Brooks, ASID: “For the kitchen, it sometimes works best to create two separate islands, which provides good storage opportunities in both islands and separates the barstools from the serious, working part of the kitchen.” “In the bathroom, it is important to have good lighting on the face. This can be done with pendants or sconces mounted at the correct height. Recessed lighting shining down from the ceiling creates ugly shadows. Powder rooms present the perfect opportunity to pull out all the stops and showcase unique design concepts. Rather than a tired pony wall between the water closet and sink, come up with a more exciting way to provide a little privacy, like a textured-glass and stainless-steel panel.” Click here to view the magazine

Throwing a Curve (Modern Luxury Magazine)
Inspired by Arcs and Circles, a Design Dream Team Creates an Award-Winning House The 7,500 square foot house sits on a knoll in North Scottsdale, its elevation marked by two arcing stone-clad walls that seem to reach out to the desert. The home’s sculptural form is capped by a curving roof that floats on glass walls, creating the effect of a welcoming pavilion. The residence, which crowns 5 acres, has won two major design awards, one from the Arizona Masonry Guild and a first place for its interior from the ASID Arizona North Chapter. It took astute owners a dedicated team of design professionals and many months of detailed planning to create this Zen-like winter getaway. The homeowners, a Seattle couple, wanted a house with a desert view that could accommodate the art and artifacts they collect during their frequent international travels, as well as lengthy visits form family and friends from around the globe. The couple put together a team that included architect Erik Peterson, builder Anthony Salicio, interior designer Janet Brooks and landscape designer Jeff Berghoff. View Entire Article
