Interior designer Steven Favreau, one of the top interior designers in the Boston and San Francisco areas, will be a featured speaker at the First Annual Boston Design Week, a 10-day citywide design festival, taking place March 20-30, 2014.

Steven Favreaus dramatic interior design brings together the best of contemporary interior design with classic elements, courageously mixing current styles with fine antiques, vibrant colors, bold textures and whimsical, surprising or even irreverent elements. His unique high-end interior design style has garnered accolades for its fresh approach, and has been featured in Design New England, California Home + Design, San Francisco Chronicle Stylemakers, Houzz.com and numerous others.

Twice a semi-finalist on HGTVs hit home decorating interior design show, Design Star, as well as a contestant on HGTVs White Room Challenge, Favreau approaches each new project with vision and passion. Now, a decade after launching a successful interior design firm in San Francisco, he has opened a second office in his native Boston.

As part of Boston Design Week, Favreau will be a featured speaker for a unique event titled, Welcome home, Mr. Otis. Your 1796 home is ready for 2014, presented by Design New England magazine. Otis House, built in 1796 for Harrison Gray Otis (onetime Mayor of Boston) still stands, the last of the grand mansions in Bostons West End. If Otis were alive today, hed be a homeowner looking to renovate for his own style and needs, while taking care to preserve the historic relevance of the property. Favreau will re-imagine the historic homes Withdrawing Room for today.

Favreau is no newcomer to mixing old and new in his interior design style. He was featured on the cover of the Design New England Nov/Dec 2013 issue for the contemporary transformation of the 1832 Federal style home he shares with his husband Gary Decad in Vermont. His signature residential interior design style is known for attention to detail and quality, mixing elegant timeless furnishings with modern objects in a playfully eclectic yet symbiotic way. The result is luxury interior design that is at once stylish and respectful of the unique features of the architecture and the surrounding landscape in every way.

Favreau studied interior design at the internationally recognized Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, yet he came to the world of design in a way that distinguishes him from other interior designers. Growing up in Boston, he originally trained in musical theatre and dance at the Boston Conservatory. He left for Paris where performed as a soloist at the Moulin Rouge, and appeared on European television, and then went on to perform on cruise ships, becoming a cruise director for American Hawaii Cruises. His performing arts background now serves him well as a frequent and accomplished speaker at design festivals and events across the country. Throughout his travels, Favreau honed his interior design expertise and eye for fine antiques, lighting, wallpaper, textiles and the other elements that now inform his interior design palette, ensuring his clients a world-class perspective.
