Embracing Beauty

Heavily influenced by her early days as an art dealer, Webb approaches her interiors curatorially, including a wide range of fine artwork and natural materials. She believes in the power of contrast: in her interiors, a pale, luminous wallcovering may be balanced by strong antiques, or a chapel-like white bedroom may segue into a deep gray sitting room. As important is a sense of hand in her rooms; she makes sure to include the feeling of glazed earthenware, a worn oak farm table, the softness of fine European linen. Balancing materiality and contrast, Webb is also motivated by the pursuit of joy and happiness for their inhabitants. She makes sure these are rooms for living, for gathering with family, for celebrating life s milestones. Sharing her inspiration and thought process throughout, Webb includes a variety of own home in Brays Island, South Carolina, an homage to materiality with its pavilions of wood, stone, and glass nestled under a canopy of Spanish moss-draped ancient oak; to a gabled storybrook Arts-and-Crafts inspired Kiawah Island residence richly layered with linen, block prints, and Venetian plaster.
