Have you ever stepped in a room and felt like, \u201cOh, this is kind of weird,\u201d and left the lobby or left the room and nothing engaged you, something didn\u2019t feel right? Successful interior design is not just about creating a beautiful space, but creating an experience that leaves a powerful, lasting impression.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of the hot trends in the industry?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve got a designer group that I hang out with and we coined the term \u201cresi-mercial.\u201d You\u2019re seeing the commercial design blend with residential. You\u2019re getting the soft textures; you\u2019re still getting the whites, the grays and the warm tones. It\u2019s a real comfortable feeling with a lot of textures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What trends have you enjoyed watching over the years?<\/strong><br \/>\nEverything comes around. You\u2019re seeing the \u201870s come back. You\u2019re seeing the mid-century modern in all the furniture come back. Any design that you\u2019re seeing right now has modern with it. Whether it\u2019s modern rustic, modern renaissance, you\u2019re going to see kind of the clean, simple lines. Last year was all the gray tones \u2013 the whites, the marbles \u2013 and I think now you\u2019re going to see gold come back in. Not like the shiny brass, they\u2019re more of a dull gold. You are seeing some shimmer, and that brings back that modern feel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell me about your experience at Mercy before joining Sapp.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen the tornado hit Mercy in Joplin, Mercy recruited me to help rebuild that hospital. They have lots of projects. We did a children\u2019s hospital. We\u2019ve done a heart hospital. We always designed around the patient. We look for easy wayfinding, we looked for warmth. They don\u2019t want this sterile atmosphere. They want their space; they don\u2019t want it to be right next to somebody all the time. We just finished the new cafeteria. The existing cafeteria was there for 50 years. So what we\u2019re designing now is going to have to last for another, hopefully, 50 years. That\u2019s why you see durable, cleanable materials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You started with Sapp in October. Tell me about the new interior design department you\u2019re leading.<\/strong><br \/>\nSapp is wanting to build the interior department instead of consulting out. The main benefits for that is teamwork. You can work collaboratively with architects from start to finish. It\u2019s more of a full picture. I\u2019m doing the lighting, the technologies, the space, the furniture, the colors. I like clean and simple. I\u2019m more of the modern approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has your role shifted as you\u2019ve been in this industry for 24 years?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nThe industry has shifted. In schools, security is one big one now and the other is flexibility. When you go into an elementary school now that we\u2019re designing, you\u2019re going to see high-top tables, you\u2019re going to see low cushions, you\u2019re going to see floor seating, you\u2019re going to see a desk with a computer. You\u2019re going to see a lot less walls. You\u2019re seeing that in offices, as well. You\u2019re going to see less corner offices, less private offices. Sapp is designing its new office and we\u2019re not going to have any private offices. Your status is shown by the way you lead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of the projects you\u2019re working on now?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Boys and Girls Club asked me last week to come over, and they want to turn one of their classrooms into a recording studio. I designed a wall of all old album covers, like Kiss and The Rolling Stones and even Johnny Cash. I did some cool vintage rugs and a stage and a sound booth. School of the Osage has several buildings that we\u2019re working on. We\u2019re doing 36 libraries in Kansas City, wrapping up seven libraries in St. Louis, and The Ridge, First Watch, Goodman Elementary and a new office concept for Associated Electric [Cooperative Inc.]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Conversation With \u2026 Cheryl Doran Director of Interior Design at Sapp Design Associates Architects PC BY: CHRISTINE TEMPLE, FEATURES EDITORctemple@sbj.net Posted online\u00a0December 10, 2018\u00a0| 3:42 pm How do you judge good design?
