What interior design tips can you offer to homeowners?
“The new ‘in’ colors are shades of grey, white on white, or a palette with just a hint of color. This approach makes it easy to add a pop of color to accentuate a living space. My clients are looking for design treatments that are easy to change with the seasons like pillows, small couches and side tables.”

“My clients are usually informed consumers. They want good design that’s functional and will hold up over time. For example, I often recommend Sunbrella fabrics that are durable and easy to maintain. The best designers listen first and then make recommendations. The final product should reflect the homeowner’s style.”

“I strive to consider my client’s individuality before making any recommendations. Their age, interests, and everyday routines impact the selections I make for them, so the end results align with my clients’ lifestyle. Always have an end plan in place to help keep the budget in line and achieve a beautiful outcome!”

“I tell my clients to think of the design process as an inverted pyramid. Start with the fewest number of choices and work upward. For example, start with a loved vintage area rug. Next, select upholstery fabrics that work with the rug. Then, decide on the paint color for your walls.”

“Each person has their own, individual style. I encourage clients to look around their homes and identify what appeals to them and what doesn’t. That’s our starting place. I guide clients through their style zones, so their home will be representative of them and their passions. It’s a collaborative process and most clients want to participate.”

“Communication is so important! We want our clients to tell us what they like, what they don’t like, styles they prefer and their budget for beautiful design that’s equally functional. Many clients are opting to bring outdoor fabrics that are more durable into their indoor furnishings. And for clients who are more interested in trendy design, well, we do that, too.”
