Diane Paparo

Keep your eye out for the Diane Paparo feature in Luxe Magazine's January issue! Here's a sneak peek: Luxe Magazine: What style(s) is your firm most known for? Diane Paparo: What specific elements, look and/or feel characterize your work? Most of my clients brag about the things you can’t see in my projects. Like the odd space next to a column that we hid storage for their stuff that only they know is there, and the flow of the spaces that feels smooth and normal but took some interesting creative thinking to make it so. Textures, dimensional materials and timeless design that looks new even after 20 years.

We love catering to clients...both new and not so new! This house in Plymouth, PA is a 15 year old DPA design. They were so happy with the result they came to us with a request. We recently completed this outdoor porch with fireplace addition to our original design.

Welcoming to the DPA team...Brooke Jennings, graduate of Marywood University's Interior Architecture program, showcased her furniture designs at Highpoint Market in 2018. She was also recognized to help redesign Penn Paper in Scranton, PA (aka the Dunder Mifflin building of The Office TV series). She studied art and architecture in Italy with a focus on the renaissance and baroque era. Her design style compliments Diane's as a detailed, sleek composition with full contrast of colors.

Some memorable moments from our Italian vacation.

Design question: What are some suggestions for making a room feel more open, airy and brighter without undergoing major structural changes? There are several ways to make rooms brighter and more open without taking down walls. Perforating an existing wall or adding a transparent panel or element will allow light to pass through and open up the space's sight lines. Lighter paint colors can trick the eye into perceiving a more spacious room. Adding perimeter lights or LED light channels set into a sheet rock ceiling along an accent wall can lighten and brighten a room.
