BEHIND THE SCENES
I’m Heather
As a design pro who is both approachable and highly qualified, with the knowledge and experience to bring your design ideas to life. I am a certified Interior Design Professional, a member of the Designers and Decorators Association (DDA), a certified colour expert along with many other professional affiliations.
Great design involves significant behind-the-scenes efforts, and open discussions from the start are essential for our collaboration. Every client is unique, and I honor that.
Alongside my husband, we acquired the Hall Homestead (30 acres, built around 1844 and owned by the Hall family since 1970) and have been working on our vision of Rowanwood Farm, a journey that has kept us so busy, a brief hiatus from design was required.
If you're not a current client and want to see if we are a good match, I'd be happy to have an introductory call and delve into the size and scope of your design project. Clients will be evaluated on a per case basis, as I build my design schedule seasonally in order to devote sufficient time to each client’s needs. I look forward to building our relationship!
One significant caveat of trying to be your own interior designer is the risk of overwhelming yourself with choices. The vast array of styles, materials, and color palettes can lead to decision fatigue, making it difficult to achieve a cohesive look that reflects your personal taste. Without professional guidance, you may overlook important design principles, such as scale, proportion, and balance, resulting in a space that feels disjointed or uncomfortable. Additionally, navigating the complexities of budgeting and sourcing materials can be daunting, potentially leading to costly mistakes that impact both your wallet and your overall vision.
Designers' guidance balances aesthetics and functionality. It provide insights that go beyond visuals, incorporating client’s experience, preferences and market trends. Expertise in color theory, texture and spatial dynamics aids informed decisions. Effective design involves listening to client needs and translating them into practical solutions, fostering collaboration. This blend of creativity and practicality is crucial for creating designs that resonate with the client and convey the intended mood.
