Q. How would you describe your interior design style?
A. The spaces we design aren’t bound by trends, but rather context. Some clients may seek a light, fresh, bright palette, others want elegant sophistication; some request a casual look and feel, others a mix of classic and modern elements. Whatever the concept – no detail is overlooked. Our goal is to always create a space that reflects our clients’ lifestyle and fulfills their vision.
Q. What are some things that influence your work?
A. Maybe it’s a design session with the client, architect or builder, or handling material selections, space planning or specifying custom furnishings and décor. At Studio M we work to ask the right questions. What works/does not work in your current space? What existing pieces of furniture would you like for us to incorporate into your new design? What are your favorite/least favorite colors? How do you want to feel in the space? These answers are what inspire us!
Q. How has the style at Studio M evolved over time?
A. Achieving that “just-right” balance of flow, color, texture, pattern and scale takes a trained eye. A beautifully decorated interior should function well with the style and personality of the family on full display.
